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

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:

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Typing class 9th grade!

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)
