50/50 on the FI. Looks like they think the Gap Filler will drop out soon into re-entry.

Decided I'm tired of the term "Camp Out"... It's not like they're sitting around a fire singing songs...
I'm thinking not much difference sleeping anywhere in the shuttle or ISS. Strap yourself down and close your eyes..

This term isn't a technical NASA term like Intra Vehicular Depress Pre Sleep but I think it's catchy.

Will they sleep with oxygen masks on and what happens if something happens to that mask or it's hose during sleep? I guess they are exceptionally cool people but dreams can cause trashing around

I don't think they have the masks on. I think they just lower the pressure in the airlock which somehow forces the nitrogen out of the blood.

During prebreath they breath pure oxygen to purge out the nitrogen and I saw them wearing the masks when they closed the hatch. That's why I was thinking that the camping out would be an extended prebreath session. And isn't 10.5 psi too low to breathe without oxygen?

No, it's standard for orbiter EVAs to depress the orbiter crew module to 10.2 psi; they've been doing that for probably decades now.
Edit: according to
this, the first shuttle mission to use the protocol was STS-41B in February, 1984.

PAO just said that focused inspection will not be needed.

Very good! Did we get word on why the gap filler was darkened?

Slightly OT: Did the chairman of the MMT briefing just refer to the "Station erotic arm" (in his concluding remarks) or is it my hearing going?

To anyone who might've missed it, be sure to catch the FD3 highlights reel on NASA-TV. It's spectacular -- the RPM is gorgeous, and the P3/P4 ops are a sight to behold.

What does this have to do with STS-115 Flight Day 3?
