That I almost went home. In between jobs. 
But, the neighbor to where my job was said I could "Try out his pool". 20 min in a cool swimming pool does wonders for a Overheated land surveyor.
But, it worked, and I got both jobs done.
The Pool was very fascinating.
Here is a list of things it had:
1.) It was a salt water pool.
2.) It had a shade tarp.
3.) It was about 4' tall, and 20' dia.
4.) It had a cooler on it. It was a PVC pipe, sticking up, with small holes in it. Durning the night, they would turn on a pump return valve, and it would divert the water filter return water, through this PVC, which made the water "Shower" back into the pool. Made it nice and cool. Jumping into a hot pool on a hot day, is no fun.
5.) It had citronella candles around it, for night use.
6.) It was in a beautiful location, and that is NOT photoChopped!!
I was glad I got into the pool. I'd have quit early, without it.

Oh, NO !!!!!
A Binge wannabe.
You just can't unsee some things, or so the dog said.
How HOT Was It??? Wait, we aren't playing Match game, are we?
It was so hot that GPS Nate went swimming, BUT, he held onto his BLANK the whole time.
Answer: Javad
Similar pool. Similar bear? [MEDIA=youtube]I-yqvT8vKZc[/MEDIA]
I'm thinkin' he's pokin' holes in that old boy's pool liner with his bi-pod...
Seeing Nate in the pool with his Javad reminds me of when Groucho Marx was hosting a game show. Upon learning that the contestant had 9 children he said " I like my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in a while".

That remark got him fired too.

Unlike, Johnny Carlson when he asked Arnold Palmer's wife if she did anything special for Arnold before a tournament and she said that she kissed his balls. Johnny said "I bet that makes his putter flutter". He only got sued.

There are some things that I do manage to not do, and that was one of them. Now, I don't watch much TV. As far as I can tell, Bill Clinton is not president any more, and since the economy is so bad, it seems they went over to Nigeria and got some weird guy who keeps saying "Let me be clear", but if you try to figure out what he is being clear about, the only thing that's clear is that he is not clear about much. I guess that is how we get our motel managers, and presidents now. Modern times.
Have you ever read "Henry and the Great Society" I just started it. Looks like a fine read.
So, let me be clear, The association with a TV show or whatever that HC made, was lost on me. But that's ok. Say, did you know that they have big flat screens to watch TV on? And they are in color too! I saw one at some kind of store the other day. Boy was it big. No way me an my wife could carry one home, let along find a place to put one.
And, while making myself clear, I was too tired to make my coffee right this morning. So, I'm BC. Before Coffee. No. I misspoke. I'm dringking an impropler made cup of coffee.
Say, did you remember to wipe the tape down last night? And the transit? We had some dampness in the field. Gotta dry those things, ya know.
While we are on that subject, you can buy a full set of Transit, Tape, and plumb bobs for less than $300. Outfit a whole crew that way!
Dang. Modern times. They freak me out.
Met, somebody the other day with blue hair. I asked them if they had been meddling with UFO's. They denied it, but I think they were just "Being Clear" which means they are lying and they know it. But, I don't know much about UFO's except that they are looking for places to land. I think people are now doing brain transplants. I say this, because I saw "Eggplant" in the store the other day. No, I'm not making this stuff up. Somebody is trying to put chickens out of the egg business! And the color of that guy's hair was about the same as that thing called an egg plant!
I'm gonna just keep eating my eggs from chickens, and let the guy with purple (I don't know my colors, but it was not red, not blue not purple, but some sort of all the above!) hair have at the egg plants. That's what it was. His hair was egg plant color. That's not normal. Now that we get way over there, It might have been a guy that hung around surveyors... "Nearly Normal" But, I suspect he was being clear. Confusing to figure things these days.
Whep, gotta go clean the transit an tape,

It could go for as little as 125.00.

It could go for around 55-60 bucks.
Hey, start another crew for less than $200 with a plumb bob

Nate: Let me be clear. My comment was reflecting on the other thread floating around about binge-watching movies and TV shows. In that thread, the name of our old San Diego GIS buddy, Mike Binge, came up as did reference to the photo he posted several generations of survey websites ago where he was posed standing bare-chested atop a boulder or something wearing short shorts and holding a sword/knife/doohickey of some sort. In that thread there is a picture of a sad-faced dog speaking of things that once seen cannot be unseen.
You done hurt my feelins!
