New cell phone pays for itself.

Just wanted to share a story.  Yesterday afternoon I finished up my day by replacing a few shingles for a customer.  It's a two story house with a steep incline on the back of the lot, so we couldn't see the repairs needed until we got on the roof.  Low and behold when we get up on the roof, we see lichen spots.  Not too bad, but bad enough that it needed taken care of.  Now I have never had all the bells and whistles when it comes to the newest cell phones.  I've always had the basic durable phone.  But I told myself if I bought a new expensive phone, it would have to pay for itself.  That's pretty much how I talk myself into anything I'm about to buy.   Well normally I would have just told the customer about what his roof was like and hope for the best, but this time I pulled out my new DroidX phone and snapped a few pictures.  This phone has a very large display screen.  He was impressed and after talking to the wife, decided to have it cleaned while I was there.  You can't go wrong with real time photos combined with a ''do it while we're here price''?  I took a small repair job and turned it into a nice profitable afternoon.   Still pressure washing and roof cleaning in a tshirt in the middle of November in Pa.  Loving it.
