    To each their own... I use it many times and other times I forget it's not on... But when ones foot glued the the floor, it's about the same.

    Ok... This day was long enough... Full 11/14 with use of the 2 hour extension and even a bit beyond that too... Ugh.

    Not so much easier rather I am learning to care less and just go with the flow whether or not that flow makes any sense to me. :)

    As far as I am concerned AC is critical safety equipment.

    I think I got one of KD5AXGs loads. Got checked in yesterday at 6:30 pm for a 9pm appt. I got the call to back into a dock at 6:42 this morning and they have yet to even open the door.

    Can anyone give me the rundown on detention?. I've been through both manuals and can't find anything on it. I know the first 2 hours are free but not sure where it gets filled in on cover sheet or how many hours to put down.

    I dont really keep it glued to the floor either. I'm one of those annoying people that will do 45 if that is what the construction zone speed limit is. While everyone else is screaming to do 65.

    There was a macro to fill out as well, write detention start and end time on cover sheet

    Thanks. I am guessing i would put the start time as 2 hours after the appt. Can't put an end time yet as they are still loading!.

    Find some Duct Tape and a few hair pins and that should get the job done... LOL
