<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was taught this by Doug Neal back at Western Iowa
tech. I learned it early and have largely followed it. On
occasion, I have had to violate this, though I have found by careful planning,
it can largely be avoided. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>About 10 years ago, I was out in the boonies tuning
on a bunch of farms, 1 1/2 hours from home. I was 30 minutes
from the nearest town. I tuned for a new customer in a new
home. It was tidy, clean and orderly. I had held out as
long as possible but after most of the day tuning on farms, the inevitable
approached. I finally asked to use the bathroom. She looked uneasy
but pointed to the room down the hall. </FONT><FONT face=Arial

of dirty laundry piled high, to access the toilet. She had apparently
thrown everything into the bathroom for a quick clean, and when I asked to use
it, the secret was out. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've also never been back. Just curious
what the reason is???</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
