Post ingress briefing:

Weather is currently GO, and trending in a good direction.  On the Dragon side, the seal was rolled a bit and FOD was detected upon inspection, this was removed and a re-check performed and passed.  There is some discoloration on the second stage - this was checked out and found as water/condensation that was closed out as ready for flight.

Close-out team is departing the Crew Access Arm.  Have about 15 minutes of margin on the timeline at this time (running ahead)!
