              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started out with clouds that only grew thicker as dusk appraoached.  We were not able to open.  We got a large suckerhole at 18:30, and opened.  Rain on the radar forced us to close around 00:00, and re remained closed while the system passed.
We were able to open briefly at 05:19 until observers finished their data run.
