              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley, R.McMillan
We had calm winds and occasionally iffy seeing, with clouds during the first half.
Russet and I accomplished just about everything left on the list except for fastcam.  See engineering email for details.
Had some issues withe the Az motors.  We thought they were solved by resetting the motor controllers in talk2boxes, but it turned up again as I was closing.
