My mileage is better now... ;-}

All a matter of degree, I guess.
I don't think I'm cheating myself, but tomorrow I go about 25 miles to a 
town where one of my customers has lined up (arranged my schedule, even!) 
FIVE tunings, including her own piano. I'm waiving mileage. Three are in 
town (of <3000) the others are within 5 miles.

I didn't make _any_ of the calls or have to try to juggle _their_ 
schedules... ;-}

If I were going 40 miles instead of 40 km, I'd probably split the mileage fee.

BTW, thanks for the following:

Happy Friday -

TTFN - I have about 3 pianos to do before 0900 (homecoming weekend)
