Makes sense! Back to watching tests...even if they *don't* involve frost or flame! Bring it on!
The fixture that was built in Sanchez (purple) thought to be the breakover fixture for boosters was caught rolling down to Pad 2. Thanks to some amazing photos by @StarshipGazer we can see that the bottom has Booster alignment pin sockets. It has the name SpaceX Development Test

Once the actuator contraption was at Pad-2, the SX LR11000 was raised once more. Coincidence? I think not. Note that, at some point, missed by me, the Tower-2 Chopsticks have been raised up, likely for crane access to the launch mount. @LabPadre

A strange actuator contraption thing was spotted going by @LabPadre Rover1 cam, so I followed it down to Pad-2 on Lab's other cams. Once thought to be a possible breakover device, it is now most commonly thought to be a clamp tester for LM-2...maybe...

With S43's cmn dome section out of the way, there was room to bring out this fidgety little thing...the transfer tube install jig for S39. Once inside MB2, one further tube was installed within the jig...and it all still sits in this spot as I post... @LabPadre

Across at the Cape, the future Starship Pad is a BIG step closer now that the Launch Mount is in place. Still a long way to go, but every step counts. @LabPadre

The BQD is the first part to bite the dust today. Looked to be a bit violent, but it's safely to the floor now! @LabPadre

I got asked about my suntan yesterday. "Where have you been?" When I said "Texas", they were like "Oh, wow! Did you meet any ranchers?" Yep! @RocketRanchTX ers! 😂

Last night the A3:4 section of Ship 39 was moved from Starfactory into MB2. Ship was then connected to the section, lifted and moved back to the right hand side of the bay. Just the transfer tubes and aft to go before flaps etc finish off the assembly. @LabPadre
