Which Other Land Surveyors are Online?

Several surveyors have asked me how to know when other members are online, so I made some adjustments to the network. Today, I've added new indicators to the network to let everyone know which other members are online.

The thought of writing a book never entered my mind until this story came to me in a dream one night. I also wanted to show a little love for my friends and family through the characters in the book. Unfortunately, there aren't many books with a Land Surveyor as the protaganist. This was an opportunity to expose the public to our passion.

Although I've written thousands of land descriptions, it didn't make me a writer. I don't even read books! I am a vivid daydreamer which makes reading difficult

Show Off Your Best Benchmarks from the Field

Today, while I was going through a closet of old equipment and various odds and ends, I ran across these benchmarks and monuments and I thought it might be fun to start a thread so everyone can show off their pictures of surveyor benchmarks from the field. I started an album here.
This one is from Memphis Tennessee by the Division of Engineering...It's marked "Do Not Disturb" but obviously someone decided otherwise.










Here are some of the other markers that I found in my dig.

I just wanted to let you all know that I have added 6 new groups (more coming soon) for land surveyors based on geographical location. We now have groups for Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe. Please take a moment to add yourself to the group which matches your profile. This will make translations of documents easier to share, help similar location based surveyors find and connect with one another, etc.

I don't know how many of you guys could possibly be as excited about passing the 800 member mark as I am, but believe me when I tell you that getting 800 professional land surveyors together in one place is not an easy task! I just wanted to thank everyone for their participation and hard work. When you combine that with all of the surveyors and LSU members on other social networks, its getting up there pretty quick!

The first video I have uploaded will test this microphone. It seems to perform very well. The next video will be covering the project idea, the equipment and software I will be using.
