              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Was watching dark clouds in the Tularosa basin, but after no activity, we
manned up and opened at 19:53. Clouds rolled through and by the second
half of the night, skies remianed mostly clear and seeing under 1.5".
The weather mac mouse batteries died, and I could find no new batteries,
or any combination of the nine AA I had available. I used the newton mouse
as a temporary substitute. It's a tedious arrangement, as the mouse cord
is very short. Other than that, no technical problems.
