  Checking in from the road - the RSU difficulties made the news on the radio. All three units are replaced now, I take it (one using the spare)?
  

  
  Correct.

• They made the decision to go for the battery work at 14:40 EDT, and it's now 16:10 EDT, so it looks like they nailed the 90 minute work time.  During the discussion I'd heard a time estimate of "two hours" go up from capcom so I'm glad they beat that.  Hopefully we'll get aliveness test results shortly.

• Think 2 hours was with 30 mins getting back in etc.

• There's a slight problem with one of the bolts. Losing count on the turns.
  
  EDIT: they got it.

• Loosing count on the problems!!
