Hmmm...  That sounds sort of familiar.  I think when it first hit me, I
had looked around and perhaps changed one "Task"/"ToDo" from within Evo.
I think I was exploring the "new Evo 2.x", to see what everything looked
like.  It is so rare for me to do that, so my solution was to change the
sync direction to be strictly "Copy from Pilot" on that one, and, so
far, no more blank records.

BTW, it was a royal pain working on deleting those puppies....
