Perhaps a new section so that our wives, sig others or whatever society calls them these days doesn't have to hear us vent. Life with a Surveyor must be hard enough for these unfortunates. I've got mine believing .01' matters in the construction of our deck. Mine today?

A coffee carafe that doesn't dribble when poured.

Any more?

Doh! Just figured out what you meant. I thought you were asking for a category for spouses to post in.

Wednesday's Witch of the Day

Took some pin flags and witched up an abandoned oil well that was plugged 25 years ago.

Wendell just explained it to me and then saw your picture and said "See, it works!" Interesting... 🙂

Wish of the Day

Perhaps you were referring to the desire of the day.

I'd have to say having Jennifer Love Hewitt's car break down in front of my house.

It is interesting. I was totally skeptical until a guy that works for me brought in some copper rods and bent them so they kind of had handles. I walked across the parking lot without thinking about what they were going to do and they crossed right over the storm drain line. I am not ready to sign off on an ALTA showing underground utilities based on the witching rods but I don't deny there's something to it.

It must have something to do with the electromagnetic kinetic energy that the water must be giving off to conduct with the metals. It's "magic"

Ground Penetrating Radar

I've seen the "witching" thing done a hundred times and some times with suprising accuracy, but I doubt it's methodology would stand up in court, especially against Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).

If it's magic, then it should be in P&R category.;-)

Great uncle used to tell about having an old well driller witch his water well location when he built his house. Said he walked around looking up and when he got to a spot where there were no tree limbs and power lines in the way of his drill rig, miraculously the wires crossed. He did hit water, though.
