The car show at Twin Peaks was fun. A nice turnout of 25 cars or so showed up to admire each other's cars. The scenery inside was OK as well.

I got the first mowing of the season done yesterday. It was perfect timing as the yard spray folks arrived today, and now I can't mow for 7 to 10 days according to the invoice. It is funny in that long ago I stopped where he was spraying a yard a mile or two away and asked about his rates. He was just starting and gave me a business card and said I could call the number and talk to his girlfriend and she would quote a price.

He was using a three ring binder to keep track of clients. That girlfriend is now his wife, and she is the computer literate person. She has set him up with a professional looking invoice, and I just have my credit union mail a check to them.

My yard was the first one in the area he sprayed, and now he does about 1/2 the houses in my neighborhood. She sends out a text message that they will arrive on a certain date, so we know to be ready. I replied to a text about having them spray for insects as well. She called and we talked price, and she said I was one of the few accounts that did not have a contract to spray. She said I was one of the longest term clients, and I always pay my bill promptly so they know they can trust me.
