Trying to avoid busy times and when there is a time crunch in my schedule is the best I can do. I have my cell phone and my computer with me to put the time to good business use. When I am waiting I will tour the yard looking for things I can use for scrap art and other projects or clean my truck which could always use it. My best advice is to plan on a delay and have a plan to kill the time before you go to the yard.
