Routine is routine... and money making is largely a matter of routine. Gots to have the bucks to survive. I have always tried to balance how much I need to make vs what kind of jobs I can make some of that on whilst still having fun. I cant get away from the routine stuff completely... but I can find ways of getting the most out of it. Try HT tunings for example... you might get a completely different kind of response from both your customers and from yourself. Or try almost any other way of approaching the job differently. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway
