These have been quick out and back runs for the most part and I never added the Tahoe keys to the TCH key ring.

Today, I took it to Nashville (delivery, setting up my wife's booth at a holiday gift fair, shopping and restaurant) for an extended drive.

Unlocking, starting and re-locking manually with standard car keys are no longer automatic subconsious actions. I forget to pull the keys out of my pocket, remember, unlock, put them back in my pocket and get in before realizing I can't start the thing.

After stopping, the problem is reversed -- what did I do with my keys?

My appreciation for the TCH lock and key system has increased after only one day without it.

There are several people at the hospital who are not allowed to take coffee breaks. They need to be retrained afterwords.
