quick grumble:
Asked a neighbour to check our natural gas line to the bbq. He's certified for that stuff. Didn't expect it for free, but for 15 mins of work requiring a bottle with soapy water and a pipe wrench...charged $80. I find that excessive, but didn't ask prior to him doing the work, so I guess I just pay it.

Grr.

I fix their computers for $40 for like 3hrs work.
