By golly , I did.
So I must of mounted it four
times.
That ' s right , I knocked it off one time
during this time when I was out there.
I got
the picture of the egress, and then I asked you
t o hand me the gun.
At this t ime the camera
wasn ' t running.
I had the glove on my l eft
hand , and I went ahead and t ook the gun and made
sure that it was ready to go.
I had the
camer a on at that time and the val ve was on.
I
checked the valve to be sure it was on and I
was essent iall y ready to go.
I don ' t know how

thought .
We had had early egress and it wasn ' t
too much bef ore I got the GO t hat I was ready to
leave the spacecraft .
I ' m not sure whether we got that GO from
Hawaii or Guaymas.
I sort of suspect that we
got that GO f r om Hawaii, not Guaymas as we had
originally planned .
Well , it sure seemed short from the time I was
mounting all that stuff out there to the time
you told me go.
That ' s right.
I ' m sure we were talking to
Hawaii, and they said you' re clear to proceed
