              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed an init at checkout, which Amanda kindly took care of (along with checkouts and fills!)
The night started with high dust, which we were at the borderline of closing nearly all night. There were clouds on and off, which was annoying but didn't keep us from observing. The LANL group said they made good progress with the laser!
