I recently started doing alot of side computer work. The problem with doing side work is keeping track of billing. Remembering who you need to send a bill too, who still owes you, and who has paid can be a daunting task when dealing with multiple customers at the same time. I first started out using a Word template and then saving it into PDF format. These I would then file away on a jump drive into folder by customer and then to either paid or unpaid sub folders. The worked out well for about a year until I nearly lost all the content of my jump drive.

Here are some pictures of the river by Harvey Locks. The locks connect the river with the industrial canal.
