Who was your dad? I was working in that area about the same time. I moved to Kansas last year for better job market, and a great women.
I'm proud to be a surveyor. we are in a noble profession, with a rich history. Might be why P&R gets so many posts here.
They are our lands. We should have access to fish, hunt, etc. As long as we obey the rules.
Maybe fax him a print out. Sometimes it's easier to make it idiot proof. lol
In the past we would localize our control. After establishing all the coordinates, we'd go back through the benchmarks, using the published elevations...
I feel lucky. Taking my Exam tomorrow, but Kansas requires no homework. Which is nice I'm not in a position to draw a map. I'm lacking Cad Software at...
A guy could make a nice profit developing a anti-theft system. Seems this is becoming more of a problem every year.
I agree. Often I've found the neighbors to be on the defense, but pleasant. Once they realize we work in the public interest, and our results aren't d...

I remember in the late 90's we had to plan every session. Sometimes would be out in the middle of the night, with a small window to get our observatio...
Frame of MindFirst Surveyor I was a chief for, didn't want me doing any calcs. He had trouble with guys making mistakes, and do things their way. Igno...
That would be dumb. Eisenhower was a war hero and a great president. In the Midwest even hinting a left way of thinking would be suicide for a job. We...
Instead Of ChastisingMocking others for their insight doesn't seem to help your cause.
LOL I've been a Party Chief since 96, and haven't made mistakes like that. Not all of us are idiots, but many are. I find a lot of surveyors make a gu...
Post a sign, but be friendly. Have a conversation with her, if you can be home when it happens. I'm surprised she comes back to get it. Most just look...
