As a matter of fact, I just finished that. I
sure do; got everything in order; ready to go
towards the LM and bring back
That's quite
a chore; keeping this thing clean.

Roger. You got a couple of coal miners coming
up to see you.

That's okay. I'll be glad to see them.

Okay. And Jerry, will you find out what they
want to do about this battery charge, because
I'm using the bus ties during the rendezvous?

Roger.
05 19 24 43

Yankee Clipper, Houston. Why don't you figure
on terminating the battery charge at LOS?
05 19 24 52
CMP
All right; I could let it go until I ...
just
before lift-off. That way it might take it
all the way up.
05 19 25 33

Clipper, Houston. We prefer that you terminate
at LOS on this pass.

keep track of prior to lift-off.

Roger. When you look out the AOT in the dark
quadrant? You can see these lights - particles
of light, flashes of light just seem to come
from - in this case, I'm looking in quadrant 1
which is the left one. It's coming from behind
me, the left, and they're just sailing off in
space. I was thinking they dropping from my
water boiler, but it looks like some of those
things are escaping the Moon. They really haul
out of here and just press off at the stars.

Got sort of an interesting thing going on AGS
right now. I didn't notice earlier, but it may
just be because the lights are brighter now.
I'm getting an all 8's flash on both the address
and the information registers at about one-
fifth the brilliance of the normal numbers. And
a - It's pulsing every second.

If I turn down the illumination level just a

Roger, Al. Fredo is here. He and I have both
seen that phenomena on your DEDA during testing
of most all the spacecrafts up at Bethpage, and
it's probably an EMI.

That's what we've been talking about, but we
thought we'd just touch in on it.

But I don't have you in the sextant. That's
okay. Your blinking light's Just not blinking,

CDR-LM
Hey, Houston. It looks like our tracking
light's burned out. Dick hasn't been able to
find us in this sextant. And on the first
nightside pass we had little bits and pieces
floating along with us and we could tell that
the tracking light was flashing on them. And
we still have, I've presumed to think, bits
and pieces floating along and nothing's flashing
on them, so I'm pretty sure it burned out.

It's getting much cleaner in here running this
way; and, also, Yankee Clipper informs me he
has the television all set up. When we come
around the horu, we'll come around with the
television on in VOX.
