              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
We were never able to open, with high humidity and thick clouds all night.  Conor and I worked on documentation, and ticked things off of my personal TCC list.  I ran the new TUI, and I was able to run "wish" and tpoint successfully on the new tcc.  Since we weren't able to open, there are still several on sky things to do.
This morning I had singing whales on the intermediate and observing levels, even though everything was stopped.  Not sure if that is a concern, but thought I would report it just in case.
