GMT271/17:30, Just finished a video conference with my son’s school. How fun was that!!
GMT271: Right below us, the Isle of Man is socked in again. It’s going to be difficult to get a nice day shot of the island!
No problem except the needle popped out of my arm on the 6th of 7 tubes, so I had Mike poke the other arm to get the last tube.
GMT270: Drew my own blood for the Nutrition study.
Sets up the experiment to look at combustion rates and burn efficiency for different fuels in microgravity.

GMT269: finished work changing fuel reservoirs on the Combustion Integration Rack.
Today we moved the external payloads from the pallet & installed them on the JEM external facility. Flawless system!
GMT267: More arm ops w/Bob today – the JEM arm.
GMT266: Arm ops w/ Bob & Frank today. Just removed the external pallet in the HTV w/the station arm & handed it off to JEM arm. Cool stuff!
GMT265: Mike & I just moved a new rack from the Lab to the JEM. Huge & probably weighs a couple hundred pounds, but up here no problem!
GMT264: Transferring cargo from HTV.
Beautiful sight as the sun was rising over China.
GMT263:07/22 Watched from the Russian segment docking compartment as our Progress cargo vehicle undocked.
GMT263: Catching up with email and looking out the window on our Sunday off.
GMT262: Saturday in space is clean house day. There’s more to the vacuum in space than the vacuum OF space. (((I want the T-shirt)))
GMT261: Bob got HTV docked to the station last night! Today we open the hatch! New car smell. ;)
GMT260: Woo Hoo!!! Yee Ha!!! Dance of Joy!!! HTV capture complete!!!
GMT260: HTV in sight through the Russian segment windows. Beautiful spacecraft!!!
GMT259: Hands on the JEM robotic arm today. We are going to have a good time with all the HTV robotic ops.
I am now fully wired with the holter monitor, EKG harness, pump unit and finger blood pressure cuffs – very Borg!
