Also, could the forecasted afternoon t-storms affect the mating work in the VAB or aren't VAB ops. affected at all by the weather outside?

Here's a shot from OTV Camera 082; I believe the countdown clock time you see on the graphics is part of sim training that
Mark was referring to.

From:
http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/release/1990/72-90.htmSome of the facilities at KSC that incorporate extensive lightning shielding devices include the service structures at Launch Pads 39A and 39B, the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and the hanger-like Orbiter Processing Facility.
So unless there's a hurricane threat they will continue.

Disappointing that there is no live video feed of the VAB transfer aisle so we could see when Atlantis begins its lift later today. Maybe someone reading this can make a pitch... 
Don't worry, if STS-121 was any indication, you'll have 7-8 hours worth of live footage on NASA TV of Atlantis rolling over to the launch pad next Monday.

And I posted some additional ones on my site (two pages worth)...including what I thought were some interesting closeups of things like the hatch and other markings...and the shadow! We were much closer to this rollout than the last couple.

They appear to be adding things to an area in one of Ben's closeups:

I don't see them adding anything... They're attaching one part of the crane to the orbiter

Anyone heard any updates on how the work progresses in the VAB?

Thanks for the comments. I've been hoping to make 115 better than 121 as I wasn't the happiest then. It was nice lighting this morning.
And I think that was the closest to an on-time rollover in the last five years :-)

Ben, have you heard whether or not the lifting of the Shuttle is underway in the VAB yet?
