That's exactly right.  I am a retired aeronautical engineer and earn  
two pensions (one from the USAF and one from Civil Service).  Years  
ago, before I retired from the USAF, I opened a small, part-time  
hobby shop in my garage, because my little town was too small to  
support a full-time hobby shop.  I am open only three nights a week,  
plus whenever potential customers can catch me at home.  I have a LOT  
of stuff in my small hobby shop and MANY customers have told me that  
I should open a bigger shop.  I explain that my shop is just the  
right size, because, if I opened a bigger one, I'd have to pay rent,  
power, phone, insurance, security, etc, so I'd have to be open more  
hours, prices would have to increase and my cozy little shop would  
turn into a JOB.  That's when they agree my shop is just the right size.
