I understand I am supposed to route my "wimpy" can light cord over the long hose. I understand this is a change in procedure, and that there was much rollicking fun discussing the issue.
However, I have tried a search and couldn't find any posts here on the subject of the correct routing. So...
Am I correct in that I should go OVER the long hose?
If so, I imagine the reason is so that if I clip it off, I won't accidentally "capture" the long hose. Are there any other benefits that I am missing?
And finally... if the light in on my right hand, donating the long hose is easy. But if it's in my left hand, I am going to need to sort things out to extend the long hose. I am trying t imagine the procedure but failing... I have been practicing my modified S drill as follows:
What simple, obvious thing (besides time in the water) am I missing?
Pointers to links would be appreciated... thanks...

- Offer the reg with the right hand on the hose next to the reg, pulling the hose over the head.
- Grasp the hose next to the reg with the left hand, keeping it extended.
- use the right hand to clear the hose, extend it, and make sure it is not kinked or snaged.
