Set the instrument up on the tripod and it was already centered and level. I am now in the same class that he is. yuk-yuk...
Actually it's happened to me before.

If you do it enough times, statistically it is bound to happen that way at least once.

Go buy a lotto ticket.....B-)
You need to put 10 quarters on the ground and set a tripod over all 10 of them in less than 2 minutes. 😉
30 plus years and I've never done it. I'm a statistical mess...
One on top of another, no problem !

Still waiting on mine... Or maybe my OCD didn't let me believe that I had done it and I probably moved it that 0.001' to soothe the tweak that I get...
I'm sure most people on here will understand "the tweak"...
Impressive, but a nickname like "beer legs" kinda negates the glory, no? 😉
yuk-yuk Cowboy. I only did that once, and then I learned.....
And he tells big lies like TDD too.... (Oh wait, nevermind, Ted would never have admitted to even once.) 😉
Naw... I'm not lying. If was lying, I would of also told you that in addition the gun was alread zero'd and pointing dead smack at the BS......
I was expecting you to say that you "Ammo'd UP!"
"I am now in the same class that he is."
Did this miraculous event cause euphoria or manic depression? 😉
Have a great week! B-)
For the past forty years or so, I give a 10-minute test at the end of each semester in which the student has to set up a transit/theodolite on a stiff-leg tripod plumb & level over a nail in 10 minutes or less. They get multiple tries, but have to keep trying until they are successful. (Optical plummet, no plumb bobs allowed.)
World records: Fastest - 37 seconds
Slowest - 2.5 days

I had it happen to me this morning. Not exactly, but pretty close.
Heck, if you can't set up the solar transit over the lath, and then drop the plumb bob to check it......you got some learning to do!

That's what she said.
