I've been getting lots of questions about Terry's schedule lately so here is the latest. Yesterday he spent alot of time (about 8 hours) reviewing his equipment and procedures and updating his crew notebook. Today the crew is practicing landings at our alternate landing site on Edwards AFB in California. Terry will begin sleep shifting this Thursday and officially check in to quarantine on Saturday. I love the setup they have at crew quarters...the rooms don't have windows and there are white noise machines in the room. He certainly wouldn't be able to get any sleep at our house during the day with kids running in and out and basketballs thumping in the driveway. The crew will officially takeoff from Ellington Air Field at some time on Tuesday to head to Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the final training push. They will continue to train in simulators and the shuttle training aircraft right up to Feb 6th.
I hope you get to do something as a family this week before Terry goes into quarantine ... at least Chuckie Cheese, Putt Putt golf, bowling or something :)
