WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Sep 21 20:55:19 GMT 2000
Clouds getting thicker, Spar not tracking well, closing down to work on the
dome slot movement.

**MLSO PROBLEM**: Thu Sep 21 23:03:46 GMT 2000
The Dome shutter still binds near the full open position, even after adjusting
the gear mesh.  It is a problem of design, there is an L bracket that holds the
rack down on the gear, and that bracket is worn out.  I will have to make a
new bracket or buy a new one.  I'll continue on this on Saturday.  For now
we should avoid opening the dome beyond the last foot of travel.
