I'm really glad that guy works cheap

I bought a sousaphone not long ago for $150. It was a great deal. I've been working on it down at the shop for several weeks now. It plays like a dream now that I am nearly done with it. I am very proud of myself. That King sousaphone is now one of the best I've ever played. It should be. I counted up and priced all the work and parts and time that went into it and came to about $1600 all told. Wow. I need to buy me dinner sometime as a gesture of thanks.
