Sounds like they don't need the spare ethernet cable, as they've tied up the old one and that's working out.

ET-138 looks like a very clean tank, by the way. Couple of liberations, but very clean. Hi res "dumped set" everything the crew sent to the ground, about 300mb, available on L2 (ET Handheld, ET Umbilical Door, OMS Pod).
Of course, as with STS-134, they have to check the TPS as ice can be a factor, with ice the cause of the damage which required a FI on Endeavour's mission.

Just passed by Blighty!
Will be to aid lighting conditions.

And that second sweep is complete.
Once the Starboard wing is finished, they'll have a meal, then move on to the nose cap survey.

23 hours of addition margin reported. So they only need the one hour for the one day extension capability!

Yep, looking out into deep space. If the moon's in field of view, that'd be stunning.
