 and we're hoping you're enjoying the ride so far. Good morning. It's been a terrific ride. See, we're probably already up and busy. We've got a couple, March I think has got a couple words for you on the blue cable problem that we were working last night. And we also have a video camera set up all the flight that just lets us know when you want to come on board. We copy. Stand by. And Alanis, we're on board with you. We're on board with you. Okay. And let's see if I can show you the end of this cable. We'll probably have to aim the light back at the cable connector itself. You can see this is a three-body problem here. Okay. What we're talking about is the very outer shell of that, the inboard ring of the outer shell should be notched in order to make the connection. We copy and verify it should have three notches for the three corresponding pins. Is that correct? That's verified. It should have three and it has none. We copy and if you could give us a serial number on that cable. I have a serial number for you when you're ready to copy. Good morning. We're ready to copy. The part number of course is SED 391-22074 serial number five. We copy and when you're able if you could give us the serial number of the one that is now currently operational. Okay. Now remember I don't have my glasses on here. SED 39122074 and 100. Okay. We copy serial number 1008 at Lannis Houston. We're back with you on the flight deck. Right. John and Jeff, we're on board with you in space. Lannis Houston, we're still with you in the Hab and Marsha. We're looking for your status indicator. It's a good clear video, Marsha. Okay. And we're about to make the connection to the bag now. And you don't see anything because we don't see anything. So it'll take a while for I guess the water to get in there. You have a go for the CWC number two. It's silver biocide only. No samples as listed in the timeline. And any bubbles you see, let us know. Okay. I'm just looking at this big boy here and it looks like it's all water in there. So I think we're doing okay. Do you want me to cut the laces on the next bag also? Marsha, no need to respond. We're with you there in the mid-deck. Yes. We'd like you to cut the laces on the second one and see if you see any bubbles. We're going to be in the docking to go very much like it goes in the simulator, which is normally very smooth. We do practice some contingencies. Lots of vernier jets, but even when we do that it goes very smoothly. We've had an opportunity to practice it and develop the technique for the tail forward maneuver and everything seems to be working just fine. I'm on board the orbiter right now, so I don't foresee any problems. So long to go to, Mayor. Was it especially gratifying to take off on time? It was a fantastic launch course and yes, it was. And I, you know, as you know, I've been over in Russia a year and a half training for the flight. And so an on-time takeoff was, you know, just the best thing that could happen. And I'm ready to go. Have you heard anything from John Blah-Ha yet? Any messages telling you to hurry up? No, I haven't. Actually, John, every time I've talked to him has been a great spirit and he seems to be enjoying the whole thing. And actually, Shannon Lucid, before I left, said, if you don't want to go, I'll take your place. So she's ready to go back already. Jerry, you're known as quite an athlete. In fact, your wife told us that you met, I guess, while you were running. Is the mirror treadmill going to be enough? They've got two treadmills, so I should be able to keep busy on those. Also have a bungee cord sorts of devices and ergometers. So I think I'll keep pretty busy on mirror. As a matter of fact, this morning, I had my first rehab or not rehab in-flight workout and I used a ergometer and it worked real well and I feel real good. What does it feel like? I mean, how much resistance do you lose, obviously you're in weightlessness. How much resistance do you use? How much pressure against your muscles do you lose in space? Use quite a bit, especially lower body, because as you'd notice, we're just floating away. And so to get anywhere, it's usually fingertip control. And therefore, the lower body you have to concentrate on. You have to work at providing some strain to the lower body. All right, this is going to be our last question, I guess, for either of you. What do you think after the hellos and how are you when you get to me? What will be the first thing you'll be doing up there? Well, the first thing we're going to do, obviously, is open the hatch and say hello. And we have some little housekeeping things we've got to do. We're going to set up a immediate leave for a little public affairs welcome ceremony thing. And then we're going to start off running with the transfers. And of course, the first thing we're going to transfer is what's called IELK, which is all of Jerry's personal equipment and seat liner for the Soyuz. And along with that, Jerry goes over and once the seat is installed in the Soyuz, then Jerry becomes part of the MIR crew and John will become part of the shuttle crew. And then from there, we'll just continue our transfers. Alanis Houston, we're with you in the space hub, looking into the glove box. It's good, John. Well lit, nice and clear.
