• Missed the wakeup song (but it definitely wasn't hard rock). 
  
  PAO event today will be US elementary school students.  Stand by for potty questions  (they've screened these in the past so maybe not).
  
  EDIT:  It's NASA Explorer students.     Our future PHALCONs and THORs.

• Into orbital sunset. 
  
  ISS Orbit 3 FD Scott Stover previously said MBS and SSRMS repositioned (MBS to WS-4 and SSRMS walkoff) by the ground overnight, and new batteries are being charged at 10A (normal charge is 50A and new batteries get 10A at first).

• CDR wants to push the ROBO up on the timeline, and complete all of today's activities prior to the PAO event.

  Check out the names starting on page 6.
  
  Transfer is 79% complete.   
  
  Wow that's a lot of EVA tools to restow.  Also lots of EVA prep for transfer to Atlantis.

• Still in POST-SLEEP. 
  
  Lots of robotic arms:

• Despite 29 hours of cyro savings, the mission has not been extended. Same was with Atlantis' last flight STS-129. However, Endeavour STS-130 and Discovery 131 missions were extended on orbit. Hence, are the extensions connected to some limitations of Atlantis or STS-129/132 has performed exceptionally well, and that no extension was required? (although the shuttle can stay longer in space). Could not the ground have added few extra duties for the crew to perform? (as the shuttle days are now numbered)
