I took my 8 year old daughter out with me this morning to pick up a few utility locations. I'm a proud dad. She did things I can't get high school or college aged fellows to do. As a matter a fact one of the things we did was chain a building because the current helper's measurements looked a little off. Looks like he's got him some competition.
Dude. This is the best thing I have seen in a long time. Takes me back to not so long ago. Thank you for sharing this.
Three times over with little blondies. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

I have two, Laney in the pic and our one year old Ivy. I almost think I could take Ivy with me she's a climber and I bet there's not a gulley out there she can't tame or at least she thinks.
Adam, when a kid catches fire, it's the greatest thing in the world.
Love it.

Nate,
Im sure you didn't mean that literally.
No, but I mean, mine like trapping. They have "Caught fire with trapping".
It's a figure of speech.

I think that she deserves her own surveyor's vest and a hook to put it on. I bet she would take to the mapping quickly.

Dang it, Dan, you confuse me. Per your avatar, I want to call you Daniel Ralph. I know plenty of surnames that are also given names: John, George, Elmer, Floyd, William, David, etc. But, then you also label yourself as, Dan Moerhrke, PLS.
You remind me of the guy that was my immediate supervisor many years ago. At work, most of us knew him as Ralph. Some, more critical co-workers called him Wimpy like the guy in the old Popeye cartoons who was always wanting to get someone to buy him a hamburger, today. At home, his family and neighbors called him Gene, short for his middle name, Eugene. He wouldn't claim, Mr. Walden, because, he said, that was his grandfather.

Count your blessings...I use to have a partner named Srinivasa Reddy Pinnapureddy. After a while I nicknamed him Dickhead.
Only my Mom gets away with calling me Daniel. My Dad (Ralph) worked for many years, after retirement from the State Patrol, with a surveyor which got me interested in the profession. Coincidently, the first PLS that I worked with was named Ralph Anderson who would have gladly paid you on Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Ah, yes, you remember Wimpy well.
"I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
Second tuesday of next week?

Well, that's the deal. You never specify which Tuesday if you know your stuff.

She's my proof reader.
Old enough to understand what you're asking her to do, but still too young to have decided that you're an idiot and she knows how to do it better/faster/easier/cheaper/good enough. Once they hit about 13 or 14, they know it all and you've become senile almost overnight. Somewhere between 22 and 35, depending upon their own life experiences, innate intelligence, and stubbornness, they begin listening to and learning from their parents & bosses as those older folks somehow begin to drift back out of the fog of their senility.
She's still young enough that you know everything there is to know. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I found it amazing how smart my parents got as I grew older
