The standard clocking task mechanism will do it fine.
However, since there are many multiple small observations along 
one task, maybe a capture template is a bit overdo...

Yes, I do totally agree... :)

I will continue slowly to experiment with this. Clocking task 
in-out is one of the 1st issues to be tried along with timers, and 
also adding the seconds (which in a task could be important).

Best...
