Congratulations. I'm sure the feeling is much like the one I had when I paid off my mortgage almost eight years ago- it felt like someone came along a...
It is/was published by Systranova Software, IIRC it cost around $18 or so. It interfaced with an old SOKKIA SET TS quite well. The TS setup is a bit q...
I find this thread most interesting. I can only see it from a civil servant point of view since I've worked in the public sector longer than some folk...
In 2004 I moved from a city of over a half-million to a town of about 14,000 people. It is in fact a VERY closed community (found out the hard way) al...
Hmmm... the plot thickens...
I agree 100%. If deceased, the surveyor no longer has control over his/her caps and the potential for someone misusing them is significant. If they're...
It would be great if someone could re-publish it, along with some other out-of-print surveying texts, e.g., Skelton (managed to get a second edition o...
I just landed an almost-pristine copy of this book for $40; I have wanted one for a very long time now. On another note, one of our local surveyors ac...
In California that would be considered: 1) an assault wrench since it is larger than 1/4 inch; 2) high-capacity clips which guarantee a minimum of 25 ...
I wonder if the term "P-gun" is more colloquial in nature... that's what we call hand levels out here in the Pacific Northwest. I suppose it's akin to...
I still carry one, though I now haul a 16-ounce one versus my old 24-ouncer which I semi-retired recently. I find I don't use it nearly as much as I u...
Can't say I've ever done triangulation, though I have certainly studied it. A number of years ago we came across some GLO notes where they stated that...
Driving through an interchange 20-plus years later and remembering most of the numerous gyrations one went through to redesign the off-ramps and on-ra...
I sure wish I could get some magnesium rod and caps for notification when an ambitious lawn mower strikes them...

I can't carry at work but otherwise my EDC is a Ruger SP101, 3" .357 Magnum with either Speer 125-grain Gold Dots or the classic Federal C357B 125-gra...
I've wondered this as well; I think you hit the nail on the head WRT profits. If they can force people into buying a $$$$.$$ dogbone-shaped DC which i...
I thought this year's conference was one of the better ones, for sure; and, in my opinion the Tulalip Resort is certainly a very good place to host th...
Yep, I'm going. Looking forward to it. I haven't consumed fermented beverages in over 31 years, though, but the conference itself is usually very good...
Not permitted by my employer, unfortunately. Otherwise I would carry at every opportunity.
