Noticed these monuments when we visited the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

Another day another job… or two.

Just because a fence post has flagging doesn’t mean it’s the monument. If the deed calls out a 1/2 inch rebar trust your gut and dig around.

Quick trip out to finish another project and I was rewarded with this view.

Made it up to the top of the summit and all I found was the reference mark. Note to self... next time do you research before you do your fieldwork. Especially when it’s family time.

Can’t beat the view from today’s job.

As a Land Surveyor, I am retained to locate and mark property lines and sometimes mediate between two disgruntled neighbors. I read the following today and it made me think, what if everyone lived with this view? I might not have a job anymore but then I think of all the other amazing projects I get to work on and the satisfaction they bring. Hopefully your project doesn’t involve a disgruntled neighbor or you aren’t the disgruntled neighbor but if so call me and I can help or at least tell you which side of the line to stay on.


The last words of Steve Jobs -
I have come to the pinnacle of success in business.
In the eyes of others, my life has been the symbol of success.
However, apart from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed.
At this time, lying on the hospital bed and remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was once so proud, have become insignificant with my imminent death.
In the dark, when I look at green lights, of the equipment for artificial respiration and feel the buzz of their mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me.
Only now do I understand that once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life, you have to pursue objectives that are not related to wealth.
It should be something more important:
For example, stories of love, art, dreams of my childhood.
No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God has made us one way, we can feel the love in the heart of each of us, and not illusions built by fame or money, like I made in my life, I cannot take them with me.
I can only take with me the memories that were strengthened by love.
This is the true wealth that will follow you; will accompany you, he will give strength and light to go ahead.
Love can travel thousands of miles and so life has no limits. Move to where you want to go. Strive to reach the goals you want to achieve. Everything is in your heart and in your hands.
What is the world's most expensive bed? The hospital bed.
You, if you have money, you can hire someone to drive your car, but you cannot hire someone to take your illness that is killing you.
Material things lost can be found. But one thing you can never find when you lose: life.
Whatever stage of life where we are right now, at the end we will have to face the day when the curtain falls.
Please treasure your family love, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat everyone well and stay friendly with your neighbors.
