Hi Slick

Sure Is!!!!!

I've been self-employed now for about 25 years, trouble is the first
20 of those I only exchanged one predictible boss for about 100 very
unpredictable ones, my customers, hi hi.

Then I did away with customers until after the fact. This meant I
could basically do it my way, when I wanted to, and when finished then
find a customer for it.

I think now I have the best of both worlds. I don't have to deal with
customers at all. I have one mfgr. rep. who handles all of the
distribution for me. Even had him scheduled to place orders only once
per month for awhile, then as he grew I boosted that to ordering only
once every other month.

I now run two businesses in similar fashion on alternating months and
am working on a third that will be totally out of house, meaning all I
will have to do is make a single phone call each time the mfgr. rep.
orders or I could have him place the order direct and not bother me at
all with it, which is the way I may go with it too.

But it does get boring not having anything to do, so I'm doing hard
labor, hi hi. Cleaning out the overgrown woods on a hillside!
Darn chiggers!

TTUL
