              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Clouds on and off during the first half of the night.  Looked like something moving in at midnight so I opted to close when we did the instrument change.  It was getting cloudy anyhow.  We never opened 2nd half due to clouds and later wind.
