Just over one bay left, and another Christer shake. We are so close now!

Christer shake. It's about 1.5 bays to go.

Video looks awesome! Almost there!

Plan is to stop at one bay, assess whether the blankets are aligned with the goalposts, go around the horn for full retract...go to retract half bay to one bay remaining.

I can hear U2 now singing ... "One bay...."

Retracting...good motion...stopped. Beamer says looks good on aft array, Christer says good on the forward array.

Going around the horn in MCC-H...

KInd of feels like Tiger Woods is about to win the tournament, and all he has to do is putt that ball in...

"dicsuss... and get back to you"

Are they taking a poll?
