[pianotech] ideas on mileage

[Terry Farrell]

I don't figure any specific mileage charge into any of my  
appointments. I just charge for my on-site services. I figure that if  
I need the work so bad that I have to go long distances, that's my  
problem. Seems like it would be onerous to try and figure all that  
out.....
