3:13am- Before leaving the pad, lifts were up to the top of the OLM and to the back right chine of B9

5:50am- Pad has been cleared of equipment overnight and It looks like they may be removing the tarp covering the deluge plate right now

7:30am- OLM area looks clear. No sign of pressure washers yet

7:51:22am- Cyber truck drives in front of the OLM. (Please tell me they didn’t clear this all out for a photo op)

7:56:40am- Drone and Cyber truck

8:04:55am-Now 2 people on bikes are riding around the OLM (Tesla bikes?)

8:10:49am- Cyber truck leaves the launch site

10:11am- Looks like a manifold for a set of the methane sub coolers being delivered

12:40pm- Lift was up at the bottom of S26. Still no sign of anyone pressure washing at the OLM. So between that and the tarp going back on, a test is looking doubtful. (It’s normally 5 to 7 hours from the start of pressure washing to a deluge test.)

1:33pm- New manifold delivered for the Lox side sub coolers .

2:33pm- Vent hoses are in both of S28’s tanks. Doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere tonight.

3:15pm- A crane is up over by the orbital tank farm but the tanks are blocking the view of what it’s doing. (Not by the sub coolers)

4:12:33pm- Cyber truck now pulling an Rvac is back at the OLM with a photo car in front

4:17:41pm- Round and round it goes. (The tarp was removed again for the video)

4:34:14pm- Here they come again

4:40:22pm- Taking the chains down that keep equipment off the deluge plate. They were apparently ruining the shot.

4:47:24- Left the OLM and now coming back in. Do one lap and leave the pad area again.

5:05pm- Back to do some still photos

5:37:45pm- S29 nosecone venting

5:56pm- I mean, who doesn’t want to drive circles around the OLM?

8:50am- Lift up to the top of the staircase. No lights were seen on the dance floor overnight. So work must have been focused inside of the OLM ring.

11:46am- All is quiet at the OLM

2:40pm- Roof beams are going up to the new mega bay and star factory. A cyber truck has been spotted driving around on Rover 1. No lifts up at the launch site

9:00am- Lifts were up at the staircase and behind the cryo leg (Maybe at the old staircase) overnight. Workers were busy on the dance floor. Didn’t notice anything happening at the ground level.

12:25pm- Lifts are down. No signs of anything going on at S26. Another big beam went up at the star factory. It’s really going to block the view of the high bay when it’s done.

3:10pm- Lift up by the old staircase.

5:55pm- Maybe 2nd shift will be more exciting

8:55pm- It hasn’t. Lift up to the top of the OLM by the cryo leg

11:00pm- Lift up at the top of the staircase and the top of the OLM still. Workers could be seen going up the stairs as well. No lights are on, on the dance floor.

5:58pm- Lift goes up behind the cryo leg. Stays for 8 minutes before going down.

6:31pm- Forklift brings in a flat piece of metal with some cut outs.

6:38pm- Looks like the forklift puts the piece of metal into the basket of the lift

7:09pm- Lift goes back down. Worker seemed to be struggling to get it out of the basket but the lighting was terrible so I can’t tell if they were successful or not

7:20pm- Forklift brings another piece of metal in, puts it in lift, and lift goes back up to the top of the stairs

7:40pm- Small shower of sparks from inside of the OLM ring, left side of stairs

9:20pm- Lift up at the stairs and workers can be seen on the dance floor. Light tower is also on for the first time in awhile. So maybe they are planning on doing work under or around the OLM tonight?
