It's been a very hard week and not just the heat. Surveying (topo) for a planned five lane road.

Just dodged this that flew off a jeep coming by at 50mph.

A bit of copper from some bracket. They never knew it came off so it was not intentional. I was watching and my ninja skills served me well as I did my best matrix moves. We learn to do that in the field.

And using some cool apps to document our progress. But we switched to 6 to 2 because of summer so we get to see the sunrise, which is amazing in SW Okie.

But the apps on a phone are so cool.

But we did this control point before this bloated in our heat. I'm not sure if he was hit by a car or just burnt up crossing the street in the 107 temps last week.

I need a job around Paducah, Kentucky. Anyone need a wore out but very experienced CAD tech or survey hand. I'd prefer the office. I just cannot take the heat anymore.

I can clean restrooms, snap to the endpoints and run a schoney when needed. I'm the guy in the cartoon who has come full circle. The rodman again, but a damned fine one. I hope that word doesn't get me banned. LOL

Damnit, Deral, you can use the damn word "damn" all you want because it's not on the damn censor list. Damn!

Message assimilated and processed. Damn is okay as long as it's sorta survey related. Gotcha... And there is only one angel. Got that as well.

I can be one of these at times. :poop:

The last I heard, the job market was sparse in Paducah. Several larger companies in the area downsized considerably. I don't know if they are beginning to pick-up yet or not.

I used to work there and can provide some info on the companies in the area, but I haven't been in many many years.

Deral,
Put yourself out there on the Lecture and Training circuit. Make a few bucks, travel around a little bit. Hey, get yourself on that cruise that fronts as a survey seminar. :drink:

Deral,
Joe has a good idea! Contact the Arkansas Queen Riverboat...they might contract a cruise from Tulsa to Little Rock.

I'd sign up...(because I know the Queen has a very fine bar)

Paducah, seriously?

Just mosey on a little farther to Owensboro and visit the Moonlite BBQ.

You will never regret it.
