These pressers are a lot of fun when the mission is going as well as it is.
Completed all objectives.
No big deal with the late start for the EVA. We were originally planning a 5:45 duration EVA. Down to 5:30, but the crew still got ahead and performed flawlessly.
Rest of the activities of transfer. 73 percent at the next tag up is expected.
DA on the UPA packed and soon to head to the middeck.
FD9 last docked day - lots of transfers and change of command cemermonies. Hatches will be closed for FD10 undocking.
Mission proceeding extreemly well. No need for another docked day.

Bobby had a drink valve manifuction. The end came off and was floating around in his helmet.
Would be a 10 minute clock at 14.7 psi, so depressed down and popped off his helmet to put the valve back on.
The EVAs went great, again. Reviews the tasks.

There actually was a UFO that MCC saw and notified the spacewalkers about. They spent some time discussing it, trying to decide if it was a... wire tie... or a Retractable Equipment Tether
(It WAS an Unidentified Flying Object)

Bill - on change of command being moved up for Nicole's benefit:
Brian: It's usually right before the Soyuz undocking. Don't think we've done it before, but Frank suggested it and we said sure.
Gina - troubleshooting the water valve.
Sarah: We had this on the console, so the crew describes the problem, and we have a proceedure to depress to 10.2 in case this happens. Work out what needs to be taken off the suit and work it that way.
Robert - asking about how these EVAs went so well.
Sarah: The biggest thing was next to zero problems. Wouldn't say we were lucky. Couple of things we saw pre-flight and thought if they had found that during the EVA it would be a big deal, but saw it before the flight (handrail clearance as an example). Some of the tasks have been done before (MISSE) and made sure we did all the proper fit checks - by watching the actual ground work on the ELCs.

Marcia - what's the status of the WPA?
Brian: That story has changed for the better. We're not running the WPA as we don't need it. We've worked out how to run it in a degraded mode - we've found a good way to run it. We're full and plenty of water, so stopped running. That's no longer an issue. Did a terrific job with trial and error.
It's simply converting condesation now.
Marcia - who will be replacing Jeff Williams.
Brian: Oleg Kotov - Rob N took over that.
James D on the alarm status.
Brian - hasn't happened again. After the second incident the only mitigation was taken on the Russian side, powering off the hardware panel responsibile on MRM-2. No one is 100 percent confident this is where the signals are originating from. Also looked at software reconfigs. Wondering if there's something they can do in the US section - but that wasn't the right way to go. Don't want to mask systems due to requirement for a real emergency.
Investigation is continuing.
