              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We started the evening with some fun and games. Everything was good until about 6:30 when internet went down, taking the phones with it.  I didn't realize you could actually talk on a fax phone... Jon suggested I unplug the UPS to the microwave connection in the arcade and plug back in.  Fun fact, false black widows live behind the beams by the window, climbers beware!  But it was eating the giant flying ants so it's a good spider.  Internet was restored at 20:21 and UW07 could continue their cals.
We dealt with clouds most of the night but it basically cleared up after midnight.  There was no rain but there was a fire! In Ruidoso there's a large wildfire (Soldier Canyon) and we should keep an eye on it.  I could not smell any smoke at any point in the night but the wind was always coming from the S/SW.
