Back in the early '90's I did some work in Southern Colorado. I got a call from a customer out in the prairie. Take the State Highway for exactly 11.4 miles from town, turn right and cross a cattle guard. Follow the wagon wheel path until you see "the tree", turn right on the dirt road, cross another cattle guard and go down in the aroya, (canyon). We're the second dirt path on the left.  I had to pee, but there were no trees around, (no people, or buildings, or anything). Now I know where the old saying, "never pee in the wind", comes from.   <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Honolulu, HI Author of The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com</div> -----Original Message----- From: carlteplitski <koko99@shaw.ca> To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 7:22 am Subject: Re: customers is funny <div id=AOLMsgPart_0_0a727cb3-ace4-49fa-b361-a696d27f5ff4 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff">Had a customer telling me how to find his place .

Don't know,  I never go that way !!! I could have puked on my shoes.
