You bet, this was one of the best days I've had in 45 years of chasing the elusive lot corner. I believe they were set by Ethan Maxon, a county survey...

Then you should hear Elmer signing Bruce Springsteen, "I'm on fire" Or maybe it was Robin Williams doing Elmer. Its been a while.

@dmyhill For a while around here the utility company wouldn't put in the underground stuff until all the lot corners along that line were set. Not ju...

One county around here does Larado/Tapistry and its terrible to work with. Hard to find the right documents and they aren't bashful about charging you...

I worked for a firm like that years ago. The head of the survey dept. would research the job (never visiting the site), this was before the GIS we hav...

Lost the hearing in one ear a while back. For two years I wouldn't tell which ear. Worked great. Then she figured it out, boy was the payback hard!

We have a guy around here that always likes to do that crap. Was the rod perfectly plumb, did he use tripods over every corner, was all his gear calib...
