  1. Got up early this morning to “lift weights”. We have a really great work out machine.
  2. I assembled the space suits for the STS-128 crew that will be working outside in a few weeks.
  3. The crew had a “fire drill” today, practicing our actions and comm with ground in the case of a fire in the service module.
  4. Bob and I flew the robotic arm this morning, moving the end connected to station from the mobile base to the lab.
  5. Mike Barratt and I repaired some hardware that we use to recharge batteries for our spacesuits and spacewalk power tool.
  6. Heading to bed. I sleep in a crew qrtrs about the size of a large refrigerator, but it’s comfortable. Stuff won’t float out of arm’s reach.
  7. Spent time sorting the pics I’ve taken. Houston downlinks all, so I need to pick the ones to keep here. Great shots of Naples, FL today!
  8. We reviewed procedures 4 robotics operations tmrw. We'll “walk” the arm 2 a new location 2 get ready 4 moving a pressurized mating adapter.

  10. Spoke with the President of Finland y'day. She was a very nice lady and had several questions about our mission here on the space station.
  11. Tried 2 take pics of Albuquerque, NM. It was out of view frm the window. Still amazed @ how fast we travel frm Baja Peninsula 2 Canada.
  12. What a fun shuttle mission - especially w 13 people on board station. Life here is amazing - still getting used to floating!
