Hatches battened, its going to be a wet night. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Aug 2 01:30:54 GMT 2014 Wrote a new script to avoid the issue we had in the past where I fat fingered and sent the wrong daylog. The new command sendToday will send today's day log off to everyone, without requring the observer to be able to type a 5 digit number (something I failed at least one this week). So far it looks like the script works but I haven't done the final test which will come at the end of the day. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Aug 2 01:31:54 GMT 2014 Monthly gong pm proformed today. But I am guessing we may end up with some water spots on the window after today. ___end___
