              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Jon unplugged the gmech (and maybe NA2 guider) to try to get it working again.   I restarted the guider but gmech didn't come back.
Humidity all night long as well as clouds and the threat of precip nearby.  I called it at 04:30 with more radar returns approaching between us and Las Cruces.
Ion pump contorllers all looked fine when I did my instrument fills at 04:30
