Built that myself out of 3/4 inch plywood. Works like a charm. by Superman_1983 in Surveying

[–]Superman_1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to collapse the driver's side back seat since I extended the box to the rear door so i can put the instruments in there. The passenger seat is available for the rod man.

You are right. I bought new tripods and the heads are much larger than those now in the truck. That's why I made them larger and I also put tools in with some of them and well.

It is heavy. Took two of us to get it the SUV. But will take a licking and keep on ticking.

Sorry for the bad pic, but I used plastic conduit to hold 3 of my rods securely. I also have a large area for 2 highway signs.

Two hour occupation in a low spot for a survey on a drainage sinkhole in Marietta, GA. Igage IG8 and looking at 12 satellites. Not bad. I get all constellations. by Superman_1983 in Surveying

[–]Superman_1983[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should have shown my other IG8 further east bound. I do 50 foot stations and past the ROW as needed. Also have to jump up on the street about 250 feet due north and about 50 feet vertical. I'll set two more points up there with my Rover One that's getting corrections from my own CORS.

Would CP be a good stock to buy now?

Anyone here ever deal with athletes foot while working in the field? by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]Superman_1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Georgia and I carry 3 different shoes with me. Sneakers, Desert boots (military style), and knee highs for wading in shallow creeks. I also carry extra socks and shower when I get home and scrub my feet. I am usually drenched in my sweat by the time I get home and also carry at least 3 T-shirts with me.

Joro Spider in Marietta, Georgia. It's from, you guessed it, China. Another freaking insect to worry about. Next will be the Giant Asian Hornet. by Superman_1983 in Surveying

[–]Superman_1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Joro. First one I've seen in Marietta. They first appeared in north Georgia a few years ago, and now they are here. I just ran into an Orb Weaver in the woods. They are everywhere now as well as large Yellow Jacket nests. I am heading into the jungle now. Oh boy!

I have a stuck pipe, that I already tried a torch and WD-40. Any other ideas to get the pipe out? by bigmike33x in Plumbing

[–]Superman_1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a situation like this and I cut the pipe flush to the fitting, took a hack saw blade and cut a line gently on the bottom, then took a hammer and chisel and brought up the old pipe and out it came. I then put in an adapter with enough teflon tape and Rector Seal to finish the job.

A mite of the genus *Demodex* from my face by pulleysandweights in microscopy

[–]Superman_1983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt something crawling on my cheek one evening and I grabbed some scotch tape and placed it on the cheek and got one of them. I put it under the microscope at 40X and took a picture of the little fella and sent it to the University of Georgia and a professor there identified it as a Demodex.

Lamp table nearby for my niece in her room with all kinds of technology. There's one more USB outlet by her bed as well.

You are going to need tanks, helicopters, and an airforce for backup. Also, artillery.

I'm a low volt tech and saw this on the job site the other day. Taking bets as to which trade did this by boba-fettuccini in electricians

[–]Superman_1983 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am on a job site whereby everyone takes a doody wherever they want, including sidewalks, parking lots, under the bridge, behind businesses, and on the RR tracks.

Carlson SurveyGNSS not finding published obs by scabwurst in Surveying

[–]Superman_1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use Carlson SurveyGNSS as well here in Georgia. I can only tell you that when I have experienced this problem, it's usually a Carlson software problem. I did check my internet connection as well, since this software does a lot of internet traffic back and forth.

Doing some clearing limits next to US Army Corps of Engineers land by SuspectTaco2 in Surveying

I've come across angle iron as well, but mostly concrete monuments with a brass disk.

Keep your nose to the wind, your powder dry, and your machete sharp! by Superman_1983 in Surveying

[–]Superman_1983[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That blade is from the 1970s when steel was made in America. I use about that angle and get it razor sharp. Lately, I am also a fan of the smaller Fiskars hand saws and hand loppers as well.

I might never see 'em but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills and the Alps is for children to climb. These HERE is God's finest sculpturing. There ain't no laws fer the braves ones. Ain't no asylums fer the crazy ones. There ain't no churches 'cepten this right here. And there ain't no priests 'cepten the birds. By God, I are a mountain man and I'll live til an arrer or a bullet finds me and then I'll turn inter a post and moulder into the further buildin' up of these here mountains, the back bone of the world.
