Observing Summary:

We shut down for lightning again before dinner, and stayed
shut down until after dinner.  Then we booted in the
evening.  Startup of CCDS was easier than last night, but
still not straightforward.  The internet was essentially
non-functional since afternoon.  We opened around 22:00, but
were clouded out on and off.  Weather improved as time went by.
