Adding the Booster 7 vid from Friday:

Booster 7 is now freestanding at the launch site after crews unhooked the LR 11000 crane. Meanwhile, aft sections for Booster 8 were moved into the High Bay for stacking.

Video and Pictures from Mary (@BocaChicaGal) and the NSF Robots.

And the one that was just released:

Booster 7 was lifted onto the Orbital Launch Mount for testing, Raptor engines were spotted in storage, and crews worked on the Wide Bay bridge crane.
