Amen. Union pensions can evaporate if industry conditions change dramatically, or if the pension is mismanaged (corruptly or otherwise). Local gover...

The drone thing is certainly interesting, but for my situation (solo operator approaching retirement with only a fraction of projects that would benef...

The reason I use the GMP101 all the time is because I usually set control as I go, even when most of my shots are for topo. I have a GRZ4 that I neve...

Do as you like, but I use a GMP101 for pretty much everything. I rarely carry topo shots more than 500' -- there's too much elevation error in long s...

What if you need that corner for your survey and there isn't a monument there anymore? Is it okay to reset it at your calculated position, showing yo...

Here's a thought exercise: You tied a section corner monument into a tight control network (solid equipment and procedures, redundant ties, least squ...

I'm afraid I can't be of assistance -- I sold my PM2s years ago, and haven't had any Ashtech software for at least a decade. Any insight into Ashtech...

I've certainly been giving the OPUS Projects team a lot of headaches over the last few months, but I didn't think that's the issue. My solutions hav...

No luck. As of 10:26 a.m. EDT there are 62 completed and 98 waiting. I wonder what's going on?

It's now 1:15 a.m. EDT (stats started over at midnight), and we're at 490/54. *Maybe* I'll get my results by morning...

An hour and 40 minutes after my last post, the numbers now show 4347 completed and 23 waiting. I'm beginning to get the idea that the "waiting" numbe...
