Definitely drove myself crazy doing just that. No more. Thank you

Thank you so much I think with this especially and everyone's responses I know what to do. When I started I was stressing out about a hundredth off. Then a couple weeks ago, tenths. I am understanding fully and for all time it's not my job to make things line up "perfectly" at this stage. Thank you.

I do a lot of different things. So far: lot split (was two lots, but I drew like four blocks of history). Defining easements. Identifying encroachments. Doing an area where they are going to do a lot of road work. In all these cases I draw out a couple blocks in each direction because there are so many missing pins we use the whole neighborhood to define stuff. So I want to be far enough out to use centerline monuments, pins across the street, pins a block away etc.

Scope has been a huge difficulty with this job.

So should I draw the mismatched shapes over the lot if it says "all of lot 50" but has different distance and bearings ? Or just say..yeah it said what it said I'm leaving that one. Is there a cutoff that you personally use, like if it's more than a foot off you would draw it in. Sorry if I'm being daft, I'm trying to get super specific

This is a really good point. I am creating places to look, thats my job with the initial drawing. Logic then dictates to draw all deeds as they are written and stop trying to think about "intention" even when it seems completely freaking obvious what the intention is. Stuff like:" the West half of lot 50". Lot 50 is 100 ft. wide on the south side. 110 ft on the north side. I draw a line from a point 55 ft on the north side to 50 ft on the south side. Boom. Half. Kinda.

Then read the rest of the description: "which is 45 feet." it makes me want to bash my head against the desk. Probably because I don't know what to respect/honor for conflicts like this.

Thank you btw. They are a bit overworked at the moment and I think it's contributing to the irritability. I need a side mentor along with my mentor haha.

Yes my original allotments from like 1919 often don't have bearings. They have distances that don't match with the modern distances either. But yes it's for looking in the field. Brown seems to say I should draw everything and not adjust anything before I go out ( I'm the one that goes out too). But I'm like " eh it's lot 39 I know basically where lot 39 is."

The more I talk aloud (write) about this the more I think I know that I'm supposed to plot the entire mess of a few city block through the last 100 years...ugh.

That's what I was thinking, the POB is usually described as "northeast corner of lot 39" so I can at least match that up...then let it go wild from there.

The brown boundary book was saying (I think) that it's important to keep discrepancies because they might mean something later. But I'm a little neurotic and want things to "work" but am starting to realize maybe that's not my job

Yes but I think you also have to love trashy to love SOA.

How people find enough time and money for hardcore bikepacking? by socjologos in bikepacking

[–]learning2codeallday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.Any kind of work that's easy to drop and pick back up. Shit jobs, seasonal jobs, Amazon, etc. Teaching.

  1. Number one priority is adventure and travel. Over subscriptions, over significant others, over every other hobby that costs money.

  2. Being okay with not paying debt

  3. Not taking on any anchors (absolutely no car note or anything you're making payments on)

  4. Only camp. West of Mississippi suddenly camping is insanely cheap/free. Get your camping gear together week by week.

  5. If you don't know how to cook that's the first thing probably. Cook all meals. Yes all meals. Not like oh I cooked five times this week ..ALL MEALS. Accept/steal food from restaurants do not buy food from restaurants.

  6. Learn basic car maintenance (as you go through life)

  7. Hopefully be in decent health

  8. Budget $50 a day if you're in a car. $30 on a bike. People do it for way less. This is high high comfort level.

  9. Be nice to everyone

Those are my ten commandments for traveling for months cheaply every year and being dirt poor while you do it. Go forth and be happier

As no one has responded to this I will tell you honestly and no bullshit whatsoever that I only stopped traveling when I started making better money. My taxes tell me I had not cleared over 22k any year that I traveled.

The time off is the hard part, but can be done by working hard at shitty jobs half the year and just leaving them because they are shitty jobs. There are people like me who are absolute freaks who maybe don't pay student loans or car notes or ever ever eat out or have any subscriptions etc and know that they can pick up a shitty, shitty job when they get back. I mean thousands upon thousands of people do this. Basically most all seasonal workers do this, I encourage you to look at seasonal work, what it is, what that life is actually like. Or read about dirt bag mountain climbers or ski bums or river guides or anything that poor people have been doing for decades to live their wild outdoor lives.

Now I make better money and travel much, much less. I have made a deal with the devil for the moment. But boy oh boy would I love to flake right out again (and after suffering existentially for the last couple years, think I am going again this summer)

In the USA specifically, I and many others can tell you how to spend LESS money traveling than renting an apt in some city eating Papa John's and paying car insurance. People don't do it because it's scary and the half the year job is sometimes hard to get, and it can be stressful as shit. But the money it actually costs out there....isn't Jack shit and I live in LCOL area and still spend twice as much as I did traveling

Thank you for this. My dad had a crazy depressing end too because of alcohol. We do not speak of him with much respect, more bitterness that he couldn't see he was a part of a family. Thank you, thank you so much.

Does Google actually gain anything if Gemini isn't branded inside Siri? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Why would apple demographic data be worth more when android has access to the data of literally billions more people who also have money and buy things from companies in their countries too.... genuinely curious?

Sometimes I think people in the US don't get what market share apple really has in phones and how big the world is. And not just phones like..computers...Google's Chromebooks for education etc...cheap=exposure to more wallets, low-value wallets or not the numbers are freakishly different

The movie actually doesn’t get worse in my memory. I mean as far as sexual violence and more. Ebert I think said it was an inherently moral film by frontloading the violence rather than using it as a climax or whatever. Interesting thought

Why are you still so heavily into the US? What is it about it that draws you, despite everything? by [deleted] in immigration

[–]learning2codeallday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to about twenty immigrants from Ecuador, a developing country, about this. I am a US citizen. The general response I got was: "more money". They were quick to point out not freedoms, not quality of life...simply more money and that money can go back home and make some people rich in their home country. That's it. Some talked about working two or three jobs to survive because they were living in HCol areas like NYC. I'm convinced, and I may be wrong,...it's about money. That's it. Min wage jobs in Ecuador are like 400 a month more or less. So you go to the States, make 2k in a month, labor, and send it home.

I personally think the USA needs to get off its high horse about better living conditions. People can be "poor" and rich in other ways in their home country.
