              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
kcam failed at checkout, did hubStartnubs kcam+kcamera and kcam init to bring it back.
Lots of clouds, some radar, and some rain in the afternoon and throughout A-half.
We opened at 00:45 when the radar cleared up, and the clouds also cleared out! gcam needed a startNubs + init.
Closed at 04:07 for radar and clouds getting worse. We got a little rain and the radar didn't improve, so we gave up a little before 06:00.
