              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The evening started with gcam needed a restart.
The ARCTIC UL quad went out and I was not able to bring it back.  I tried an ICC restart and a Leach controller restart but neither helped.  A PR was sent.
Clouds were super annoying and then they started threatening rain. We closed at the end of GS03's program and stayed closed for about 80 min until the threat passed.
