Yeah, it also means the EVA is almost done (and sure enough that's the call)...sometimes I wish they could go on forever.

I wonder if the plan is to leave some of the U.S. EMU space suits on the ISS when the Shuttle retires?
They already do and rotate the suits with ones launched by Shuttle, service the ones from ISS, use them again and so on. This will be just a small part of the old logistics problem starting late next year.
Some time after Columbia, US suits/airlock on ISS were "no go" because of technical/maintanance problems (logistics up- and downmass).

Mike is moving again. He'll just grab the APFR and head in.
Randy has a bag he needs to pick up first.

Randy to retrieve a tool bag and on his way back to the airlock, to attach a guide post on the HPGT (high pressure gas tank) before heading in.
Correction: guide post (not hose)

It would just crack me up (and many others I expect)
If they handed Randy a cigar after he gets his suit off.
(yes I know he couldn't light it)

Plans suppose to leave four EMU spacesuits on ISS after the last Space Shuttle mission. These spacesuits will have six year on-orbit life. Two of them - with numbers 3009 and 3010 - are already delivered on ISS during STS-128 and STS-129 flights.

Randy to retrieve a tool bag and on his way back to the airlock, to attach a hose (I believe) on the HPGT (high pressure gas tank) before heading in.
This is not a hose, HPGT "guide post" for EVA3.
It's scheduled task.

You're right. Thanks for the correction. Corrected.
