              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Clouds in the evening, cleared for a few hours, then cloudy again.
Opened for about half of the second half.
Note: the echelle fill gauge appears to be frozen.  Sent an email to
Bill, and hoped it would thaw out by morning.  It didn't.  I've been
filling it every afternoon, and it had no troubles until today.
