Today I was outside on my driveway checking my transit vertical cross-hair by double centering. I sighted a downspout edge down the street (D) then flopped and looked right at the angle of a stop sign (I got lucky). Then I sighted the downspout again (R) and flopped and I'm off maybe half a hundredth in 3 or 400 feet which is OK for a 1' transit. I would need better targets if I was actually going to adjust anything.
Anyway I'm standing there and some guy stops, rolls down his window and says he knows me. He was a Leica salesman but they laid him off and now he's a Medicare supplement insurance agent.
Then I receive a phone call from a a previous client (several years ago); he may need an expert for a boundary problem. I did the survey 5 or 6 years ago and filed it but now I probably will need to explain my Survey to his Attorney. We already resolved the boundary on the other side of the property (summary judgment).
Then I receive a note in the mail from another client I did a survey for 6 years ago wanting boundary survey on a residential property they recently purchased. It is about a 1 acre subdivision lot, a 1926 plat. That should be fun and interesting. The reason for the note is I disconnected my business line a couple of years ago.

I'm assuming that was to save money for higher quality hooch; a man has to have his priorities straight.
Yes, of course.
While I don't disregard quality, I place a higher value on effect.

Y’all gotta be careful with Hooch. My neighbor’s kid, Jimmie Don got hold of some bad hooch and ended up eatin a urinal cake at the Circle K, he thought it was a sweet tart. Poor boy ain’t been right since.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! B-)
Old surveyors never die .....
they just lose their bearings.
Old surveyors never die .....
they aren't as plum as they used to be

It helps if they keep their bearings greased.

Maybe not, but I could list a few that should have retired many years ago..........
