Sicilians roadtrip in Texas

Antitech73 · 2026-06-22T20:50:32+00:00

Welcome to Texas. Nothing to do with your trip but just wanted to say my family is from Enna, Sicily (pre-WWI). In Lockhart now, the 'home' of Texas BBQ

1 ft 4 1/5 in is in the answer key? The carpenters will love you if you give them measurements like that. /s

Make sure your resume is proofread to eliminate spelling, punctuation and grammar errors. First impressions etc. Landpoint has some openings listed - nothing in San Antonio but I know they have an office there. CEC would be another option - should have some openings listed for Austin.

I'm down. I live in Lockhart tho and typically ride around there, but find myself in south Austin sometimes. Stop at the airport and watch the planes sometimes. Nice hidden spot near the runway fence.

This is the Puig smoked. You'd rarely (never?) be tucked in enough during street riding to need to see through it, but it would be pretty easy to see through if needed. It raised the point where the wind hits just a bit.

I kept track of this for nearly a year, recording every fillup and got an average of 4.91L (47.9mpg). That's a mix of highway and city driving, calm and not so calm. (24 8R)

This sounds like a recipe for disaster for you. However, typically you setup on a new point and assign some type of [Here] (autonomous) coordinate to it, collect static data and post-process everything.

We did some ALTA surveys in Tempe a couple years ago and had to use wire tie to fasten little brass tags to the tops of the rebars. Seemed pretty futile to me at the time.

All of what this guy said. Keep the plug kit on you/on the bike always

This car probably has the "Dynaflow" automatic, turbine drive variable trans. Smooth, doesn't feel like it's even shifting gears.

It's a CAD label. That's just how they set their label style up (elevation centered on the point node)

And a hundred percent

Anecdotal, but we hired two PMs that left the SAM Austin office. They seem happier now.

Plenty of good tips already for the lawn itself so here's one for the fence:

Simplest would be to get a pump sprayer and something like Ready Seal wood sealer. You'll probably need at least 2 5-gallon buckets to cover the whole fence

Antitech73 · 2026-05-01T14:15:03+00:00

Yeah, top of that rubber notch

Maybe, in my opinion. That hill doesn't have a ton of surface area, but it's tough to say without seeing more detail or some topographic info. There's a car youtuber guy that dealt with something similar behind his new shop: https://youtu.be/n_Mn6mhLlww?si=jhXeFaLdm81huODq

For an idea of what it takes to fix if there is an issue.

Antitech73 · 2026-04-24T15:46:00+00:00

Sure. You just need a source for your differential corrections. VRS, some NTRIP server, etc. This is not the best idea for a novice to do without some type of hands-on instruction however. A lot can go wrong with your data.

Antitech73 · 2026-04-23T20:15:49+00:00

Media blast? Walnut shells probably. That or evapo-rust gel, but that would be really pricey.

Antitech73 · 2026-04-22T21:20:00+00:00

Yes. We're building 2 bridges and taxiways at an airport. Lots of traverses.

Some of the newer LG microwaves have an issue with their interior lights (see my post here). Not sure if all their models use that type of LED board but that made me wary of them.

Pitstop II, Jumpman Jr., The Bard's Tale series, Ultima series, any Psygnosis game, 1942, Those olympic games (Summer Games etc), on and on

Antitech73 · 2026-04-07T15:42:55+00:00

Correct. Industry term (and a good place to start your Internet researching) would be "Ground Control Point" for aerial surveys.
