              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Fog earlier in the day which cleared near sunset.  Humidity was high but we were able to open for one hour before shutting down. The rest of the night continued with high humidity and some rain.
We used this time to continue training Candace.  We calibrated DIS grating set 2, analyzed pinhole exposures, and changed the filter wheel.
No problems were seen in DIS or Tspec exposures.
We shut down at 05:15 due to weather.
