              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
A nice clear night with variable seeing and no snow on the roof.  Everything worked well in the important ways, but we are watching some struggling ion pumps for ARCTIC and DIS blue.  So far they are maintaining temperature so the vacuums can't be really soft.
