Observing Summary:

Good weather, decent seeing, and no equipment problems.

There was a big cloud mass way off over New Mexico, and the
satellite showed a tiny bit of it breaking off and heading
this way, though I never noticed anything.  

Got a whiff of humidity toward morning, it climbed to over 60
percent after having been negligible for the last week-and-a-half.
The monsoon may not be too far off now ...
