Well, it looks like I'm going to have to go there.

The same tech that - was - doing Pianodisc installations also had a
partner tech. Something happened between them and the partner is gone.

So with the partner gone, and the loss of the Pianodisc business, he is
asking a minimum of $300 / month - - - too rich for my blood.

Previously, another tech was selling used pianos - until - he lost his
lease and the landlord wanted to gouge the price of rent - so after many
years in business, he folded the business - however he is still "teching".

Finally, the last, current, opportunity would be a - daily - 100 mile -
round - trip - - - gas prices.
