So, yesterday's generous couple was a price and do and could care less about the amount.
Second sentence from her mouth was introducing my to the patio fridge full of soda and beer.
He had a construction back ground and based on his art collection, dead animals and reading material (Playboy and Maxim) was a staunch Trumper.
3 big dogs.
Automatic swing gates far from the stead

$295 for LDH and 2 br, plus three jars of jelly and a $35 tip, and a promise to call back once a year.



Today's coup in the same backwoods area got an estimate two months ago, canceled once.
During the estimate she had many platters of fresh cookies cooling from the over, no offer.
No offer of drinks or lunch, that she was preparing for hubs as I arrived.
He was a game warden and she spends all her time painting animals, which covered this walls.
3 small nippy dogs.
"Boy you sure hustled there for 3 hours!"
Manual swing gates far from the house with no offer to get em for me.
$400 for ldh, 2 bed rm, steps and 4 crap rugs, no tip but a great conversation with him






I really deserved a tip for the Game Warden

There are be people of generosity and stinginess in every walk of life or place.

With some exceptions, there seems a reverse correlation between income and generosity of spirit

We have mostly the second example in my area. The ones who tip and don’t bicker price are people who have moved into the area from the city.

Have had several people thru the years say to me. "If you don't kill me and my family I will give you a big tip"
I just smile and get that big tip
Yeah but at some point they're serious cape fear!

Interesting. But $20 taxed with no tips, i dont think so, but good luck. The profit sharing thing for full timers is good, but in that biz I thought it was all about the tips.
