charging for downtime?

[pianotune05]

Hi Tom,
At least your're nice about it. :)  I just have trouble feeling as if I 'm 
behind the 8 ball because I"m starting out at 40 in this.  Man I wish I was 
only 20 and starting out.  I did try to get into tuning however back then on 
several occasions.  I just didn't have the right connections mixed with my 
desire and drive to get into tuning plus other persuits.

Spepaking of learning the names of parts, I have three old actions here all 
from old uprights.  These have stickers on them, the long pieces of thin 
wood that the keys push up and s on.  Do these replace wippens, or are there 
wippens also on these old actions?  That's my only question for today.  More 
tomorrow.
This too with best wishes and respectivity. ;) I'm in a good mude.
ps. I have my sights on becoming an RPT for sure.
