"Old Geezer"? Listen up you whippersnapper I ain't too old to give you what for. Besides I can still party with the best of 'em.
And me and SWMBO are considering going on a "tour of medicinal botany" in Colorado next Summer, so there! 😉

first survey was 41 years ago on an as-built for a sewer job....I just new that first day that I had to be the guy on the instrument, not the guy fetching stuff from the truck...

Was the system on line?
As builts of live sewer systems is the Hell of surveying. Did one system, it was the first and last! B-)
A happy 60 years for me. This is my 39th year in the business profession.
I'm 44 and my father is 76. We just renewed our licenses.
I'm 62, been in the profession 43 (although I spent 5 summers prior in the field with Dad)
Odometer is rolling over to 50. Started when I was 14 and took a long break to try on as many hats as I could before returning to what I enjoyed the most.
Not quiet 75, and I'm starting to feel it after 52 years surveying.
ps For you youngsters: Getting old is not a gradual decline. It hits faster than you could imagine.
50. Been in and out of the profession my entire life.
