TRMM still flying?

Is it me...

The past two nights I have attempted to catch TRMM (97074A/25063) as it
passed overhead on what should have been beautiful, easy-to-see passes from
my location.  I missed it on both nights.

Did I miss a decay notice for this bird or am I losing my touch?  Did anyone
else catch it maybe running way ahead or behind schedule (I used an elset
with epoch 99035.24478627)?

Incidentally, watched a beautiful MIR Complex pass yesterday evening on what
had to have been the perfect night for satellite viewing.  Cool temps, no
wind, no clouds.  Everything a satellite watcher could ask for.
