  It sounds like they are planning to finish all get-ahead tasks they have.
  

  
  And they have dropped the HX Clamp Release tasks which popped up in yesterdays execute package.

  Thanks.
  
  I see that on p.5 (item #3), looks like the plan on using the spare liOH cans will negate the chance at a +1 docked day.
  
  Also like the Iron Maiden references...lol

• Thanks Chris for the shout out to Real Salt Lake.    I'm not a soccer fan really but I was happy to see that result.

• Best way to follow this on a checklist? Which should I be looking at? I have the 129 mission specific EVA checklist. I guess section 7, timeline for EVA3?
  
  Edit: No worries, found it. EVA checklist for STS-129, page 7-113 currently.
