              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Gcam needed a nubs restart during checkout. The evening started cold with passing snows that fortunately did not stick.  The time spent closed was used to run more tests on DIS. After the snows passed, the humidity spiked, and remained far above safe limits for the rest of the night. We gave up at 5:45.
