              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Engineering observers--R.Owen, R.McMillan, C.Sayers
Night was partly cloudy until the very end, when potential rain forced us closed.  Otherwise, it was a very productive night of beating up on the new TCC.  We solved some problems, and found some new ones.  We did have many motion errors in az, and Russell tried fixing them in the TCC.  We let BIll know what the problem was, and tried calling Fritz.  We hobbled along with them though, with things going well for the most part.  These problems continued after we switched back to the old TCC.  We were not able to get a pointing model with the old TCC because of them, and the gcam wouldn't talk to the TCC.
In the afternoon, zeroes the rotator and reset the axes controllers.
