You can see the monkey fur in the images of the transfer, just on the edge of the payload bay.

Going to make an assessment of the open window flap on the CBM (the ominous watchful eye I was referring to before)

Wheelock would be able to close it as he translates, but according to PAO, "he'll get more information by just passing by it". Not sure how that can be, but well...

EV1 has good gloves as they prep for sunset.
