              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
When I filled the Echelle nurse tank at 16:10 tonight I forgot to re-open the fill valves (and didn't notice the light flashing since I had opened the dome).  At 20:40 I noticed the light flashing in the dome camera and went up to check, when I found both valves closed.  I opened them and the echelle started filling.  I waited about 20 mins and then did a force fill again (stop and start of the fill sequence) just to make sure the tanks were filled completely.
No problems tonight.
