@exador23 Well, this is all coming back from my daughter's graduation flights, but... yes. The in-laws have got to stop with the cruises and vacations, their CO2 budget is about 2000x mine. But, their brains are stuck in the 1950's :-(

@exador23 Don't get me started!!!! Today was the spouse, but that was because of having to help the daughter with some stuff. 5 (nearly 6 hours) of wasted time, have been working here in parallel to make up the hours...
