I wonder if the IRS monitors these lists.

Subject: [Techs] Home Service Callls.


Little ole Ladies are the best for home service calls.
I just did one yesterday. I drove 12 miles, but, I had to go over that
direction anyway, so the gas didn't apply.
All I had to do was un-plud the Sat. RX for a few seconds, and plug it in,
so it would re-set itself. The TV had a vertical retrace problem
also,...but, she said she was used to that, and since it was an OLD 25"
Zenith console, she declined my estimate of $95 to pull the chassis, and
replace the e-caps in the vertical. I just charged her $30, and happly went
on me way. Can't charge much for a service call around here. I was lucky to
get the minimum amount out of her,...although she didn't complain. She just
went in the bedroom, and came back with $30 CASH. That's the most $$$ I've
made in the last 3 weeks ! (and that's NO lie.)
;-)
