NAH!  Anyway, even if you get another set from Y.C.  you'll find yourself in the same situation.  </FONT></DIV> <DIV>    <FONT face="MS Sans Serif">Paul McCloud</FONT></DIV> <DIV>    <FONT face="MS Sans Serif">San Diego</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=Piannaman@aol.com href="mailto:Piannaman@aol.com"></A></DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To: </B><A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A></DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> 02/22/2006 7:53:12 AM </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Of brackets, Bordeaux, bikes, and bad kitties...</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2><FONT id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <DIV>Speaking of YC....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I booked five hours today for replacing a set of Young Chang action brackets and regulating the action. After replacing the outside brackets, I discovered that the inside ones were the wrong size!   Well, that took care of the days income.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>AT least that gave me plenty of time to watch the end of the Tour of California, Stage 2 bike race that finished about 2 blocks from my aborted job...<BR><BR>After the race ended, I headed 3 blocks east to a friend's house to tune her Acrosonic and sample some 20 year old Bordeaux. Halfway through the treble, I heard her say, "Todd, NO!," Todd being the cat. I looked down and saw that the side of my toolkit that holds pliers and stringing tools had been unceremoniously filled up with an odiferous yellow fluid from Todd.<BR><BR>Some days one should just stay in bed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 PTSIZE="10" FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Dave Stahl<BR><BR>Dave Stahl Piano Service<BR>650-224-3560<U><BR><A href="http://www.dstahlpiano.net/">http://dstahlpiano.net/</A></U></FONT></DIV></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
