              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I had to restart (power cycle) the ecam tonight.  I also had to startNubs gcam.
Clouds and rain during the first program.  We had a little clearing a little after 23:00 but there were storms just to our S so the conditions didn't warrant taking the risk to open.
I waited for an hour as the system to the N slowly approached us and then halted it's advancement just a few miles to our N.  Radar was showing returns but since it seemed to be halted I decided to go ahead and open.
Candace's target had not yet risen when her program started so she donated some of her time to the prior AD02 program.
No problems otherwise
