              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Reset the mirror covers at checkout.
Rain, thick clouds, more rain. Lots of radar!
Opened at about 04:30 when things cleared up. However, APOLLO was uncooperative. Russet tried restarting housctl and the ICC with no success, and there's likely a problem with the APD or CAMAC.
