A pretty busy day, all told...

alexpgpNormally, propellant loading duty is (and should always be) pretty quiet work, which is not to say there was any excitement during today's operation. There wasn't.
But there also didn't seem to be all that much quietness, either. Apart from about 90 minutes where there wasn't somewhere to be or something to do, it was a running-around kind of day for me, involving a lot of radio traffic and relaying of information.
I had planned to catch up on my personal projects, which have been left unattended for the past couple of days, and put something of a dent in the balance remaining for me to do, but there's still a day or two of effort left, which is not a big deal, as there is more than enough time remaining in the campaign to take care of it.
The rollout to the pad is tomorrow morning, and I'll be on the train carrying the rocket. It'll be a three-hour trip to the pad, after which the gang will assemble to watch the stack put up on its tail. There will follow three days of work at the pad, making sure everything is just right, and then another long day on launch morning.
However, I shall take it one day at a time, starting with a reasonable night's sleep.
Cheers...
