"Sometimes less than 80%?"  Do you work in or near any small, rural 
service areas, that only sees about 700 a year?? Less than 80 is 
generous (based on the CQI I've done for very rural small 
services)...hence my passion for the King LT...LOL

>>>we most certainly need a backup (haha)<<<
        I live by backup plans, in airway management and "visitin' the 
pub";-)
