Digital BW, The Print

An hour?  Let's see...my Toyota mechanic charges $65/hr...
hmmm...8 carts @ $65..that's about $8 per cart in labor alone (not
counting the carts themselves, or the pigment), unless of course you
need to test or run into minor time-consuming challenges....

Surely your time's worth as much as a Toyota mechanic's?
