Dad reads meters too. He carries a package of polish sausages, hot dogs, whatever, and throws out the little pieces. Now the dogs come to beg for a treat instead of giving him crap.

Doesn't spend anything for it though, the meat is whatever looks really old and freezerburnt from the bottom of the deep freeze.

They did suggest peppergas for a while. But he found this method to be more humane, saving the peppergas for the...tougher cases.

You know, the utility company has an easement on all the properties. Complain enough about a meter in a bush, and the power company will cut the bush out. Wide enough to drive a combine through on both sides of the pole! They did for Dad on somebody else's place, anyway. We have pictures, I'll have to find 'em.

My meter is on the pole at the end of the sidewalk in front of the house, right beside the lane. Easy access.

Our REC made some people start calling in their meter readings to avoid hassling the meter readers. They do quarterly checks to make sure the customer isn't fudging the numbers. They also check that the meter reader isn't fudging his own readings.

Pays okay, 9 cents/mile, about 5 cents/meter. Those figures could be wrong, but that's what I thought he said. Comes to about $140/month. Not bad for one long day or a weekend, depending on how hard you run your car.
