Default Time to raise my rates
Gas is going up. So did my Coffee.
Dam economy I can't work with out coffee.

Got a call from the bank where I have my van loan.
I can now pay over the phone for $12.50 Wow I'm going to jump all over that
Nothing worse than paying money to pay money.
Wonder if I can charge them for the stamp, letter and for the check maybe the ink from the pen too.

The master plumber I apprenticed under told me to make sure you charge for everything you use on the job. He wrote up for the Teflon paste and tape used, every little washer, nail screw he used. With the Teflon paste or tape he wrote it up as thread sealant .50 x qty 10 joints = $5.00 as for solder work he always wrote up in a line Gas, Flux, Solder = $30.00 He said you paid for it you need to charge for it as well. If you give enough of this stuff away it will hurt your bottom line.
