Nerved out on exterior duty today. Something about EP-61, the dark all around, and the weightlessness triggered my dive-abort reflex. Came out of it in a few seconds, but had to call it in and get help gathering all the tools I scattered. Good news is there’s no coronal scarring on the vac-side power nodes, so the in-flight tweak seems to have worked.
Cathy gave me a check-over after, says it happens to the flight crew during training too. Might be just trying to make me feel better. Appreciated all the same; Earl is going to make sure I remember. I was never this jumpy before. I wonder if the nerve re-balance has anything to do with it.
