@jimcox Having used both, the R10-2 is light years ahead of the R-8 working under canopy. I'd occasionally get bad initializations with the R8 and pos...

Graveyards are chock full of them. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Not just fence companies, utilities do the same thing. Just remember that the guys wielding the shovels usually aren't the sharpest crayons in the box...

@gary_g No building permits required here outside city limits. Real bummer they didn’t pay heed to a platted easement. No easy fixes.

One of the reasons I didn't stick it out with my own company was the drain on my energy dealing with nickel and diming Tom, Dick and Harrys, jerking m...

Had one recently, road project, our people needed some exhibits done so they gave me the CAD files from the contractor. First thing I did was call the...

These guys buy and sell used books. I haven't sold any here but bought quite a few titles over the years. Might be worth checking out to get books bac...

@holy-cow Same difference as color vs colour, all depending on which side of the pond you're standing on.

I'm familiar with that Texas flagging and I can tell you it is hands down the worst when temps start getting significantly below freezing. Super britt...

I flag corners religiously but using reems of flagging is just wasteful, in the winter when it freezes, gets brittle, the first good wind will scatter...

Got to be Aussies. Whole setup is upside down and turned around.
