              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
First half was rainy, with radar returns always lurking nearby.  We were able to open for second half, with decent seeing and humidity high but not dangerous.
Rachel had a problem with her TUI, the dcam guide window.  Initially, it was ok, but shortly after I ran the focus it grayed out her buttons.  Only quitting TUI and restarting fixed it.  She is running 2.3.1 Mac.  I was able to start her guiding for her, but we ended up losing about 10 minutes to it.
