Jim,
Well, that's a hard one to beat, but maybe if she wasn't so busy with
all that fuel monitoring stuff she would have time to do something
really useful.  My "wife unit" doesn't want crew responsibilities.  So,
I'll have to find an alternative.

The best fuel monitor of all is wife unit who wants crew=20

hour.  She notifies me in detail of any and all transfer asymmetries. =20
Not only that, but when fuel gets below two hours endurance, she's=20
reminding me every five minutes and assuming crucial navigation duties=20

So tell me again how your technology cooks and cleans and cuddles ...
