Starbase Live-

7:11am- Grover starts to wake up

7:13am- Dance floor drives under OLM

7:22am- Dance floor wings unfolded

7:23am- Grover delivers a cryo pipe over to the doghouse area

7:24am- Dance floor raised into position

7:38am- LR11000 looks like it’s hooked to a manifold

8:23am- Grover delivers another cryo pipe. This time partly up the leg where the cryo pipes run. Looks like they are replacing them through the access holes

9:15am- Lots of concrete being broke up and hauled away by a front end loader

9:39am- The extended reach excavator that had been working in the area where the deluge pipes will go, left.

9:55am- Grover lifts the yellow basket normally used to take down scaffolding to the top of the OLM.

10:33am- Yellow basket brought down

12:00pm- All is quiet on the southern front. Pretty slow day after the last couple.

1:01pm- Grover lifts the yellow basket back up to the OLM

1:31pm- Basket comes down

1:43pm- Basket goes back up

1:46pm- Basket comes back down

1:56pm- Basket goes up

2:02pm- Basket go down

2:07pm- Basket go up

2:15pm- Basket go down

2:30pm- First piece of level 4 for the new mega bay is lifted

2:47pm- Basket go up

2:55pm- Basket go down

3:09pm- Grover lifts a load of something metal up to the top of the OLM

3:25pm- Grover lifts a 2nd load to the top of the OLM

3:42pm- Grover lifts a 3rd load to the top of the OLM

4:07pm- Long reach excavator returns

5:50pm- The LR11000 took tension on the lifting straps that have been connected to the manifold piece all day.

6:24pm- Manifold is lifted

6:25pm- Crane starts swinging towards the OLM

6:29pm- Goes flying over the OLM

6:31pm- Starts lowering

6:34pm- Starts swinging towards bottom of OLM

6:48pm- When looking head on from SBL, it looks like it’s going to the left side of the BQD. So this is the middle manifold. Which based on Ryan’s renders makes sense because the pipe for the far right manifold will run over the pipe for this one

7:06pm- Holding about 10ft above the pad

7:10pm- Starting to tilt the backside down into place

7:30pm- Level it back out and holding around 10ft

7:50pm- Lowered down some more but behind stuff now. Still tension on the straps

7:51pm- B10 starts rolling from the rocket garden

8:16pm- Manifold is raised back up

8:18pm- B10 staged at the end of Remidos

8:21pm- Manifold lowered back down and swung in closer to the pad

8:25pm- Grinding by the doghouse area

8:50pm- Lifting straps on the manifold went slack for a second before they went taunt again. So the plate may be close to/all the way down but the LR11000 still has the weight. If only those tarps weren’t there.

9:00pm- Speaking of the tarps, that area of the plate is where one section of the plugs were. Ryan theorized that they’ll be adding extensions on to these areas.. So that might be what’s happening on the other side. We can definitely see some welding going on

9:20pm- 2 small excavators are working on digging a trench for a small pipe

10:27pm- B10 is rolling.

10:33pm- Turns on to hwy 4

10:40pm- They see me rollin, down highway 4, I know they’re all jealous, because I’m off to get all white and frosty. I’m going to get all white and frosty, I’m going to get all white and frosty, wait until you see me all white and frosty, going to look really cold all white and frosty. (Weird Al I am not but Hey it’s been a long day, I’ve got to entertain myself somehow)

11:10pm- 128 wheels tonight. So they added 1 section to each line of SPMT’s after delivering the manifolds.

11:19pm- Time for a break. (Someone read it my version of White and Nerdy and now it refuses to go any further until I delete it)

11:22pm- While we were watching the big shiny thing drive down the road, the LR11000 was unhooked from the manifold section. (It happened at 23:19 on Rover 2)

11:32pm- Straps being hooked to the next manifold piece

11:39pm- B10 is rolling again

11:40pm- Someone didn’t make sure their swing path was clear. Grover swings into one of the cages holding the high pressure gas bottles nearly knocking 2 cages over.

11:47pm- Forklift arrives to move the cages

11:48pm- And just what was Grover doing while this was happening, that’s right,

Basket go down

(This gets synced)
