I see - this is different because it includes Thursday with 'partial' late inspections. Gotcha...

15 mins ahead of schedule with the EVA preps.

They seem to be doing that a lot lately...

I think that's because of Beamer, he always seems eager to get the job done as soon as possible. No wonder with his experience.

Assuming EVA 4 will last about 4 hours and a half (as mentioned in the EVA-4-Procedures document) Beamer will be number 6 among the astronauts with most EVA experience.

Hatch between the Quest and airlock has been closed and secured.

Christer and Beamer tething to handrails in the airlock ahead of depressurization.

SSRMS (Space Station arm) being moved into position to support EVA 4.

Down to 5lbs psi - holding, before heading down to 2lbs psi and then zero for hatch opening.

Discovery's arm also on the move and taking a look at herself at the same time.

Are they moving both arms?

Kyle mentioned the SSRMS. We saw Discovery's arm moving (likely out of any potential conflicting position with the SSRMS) - so yes, I'd say.
