It's a girl!

The field crew will need to make room for one more!

Mama and baby are both doing well and the boys and I couldn't be more proud!

It's been a crazy season already! We are here for it though and loving the weather we have had lately!

New tool! Kinda....

My drones are getting larger, so I figured I'd get a small one for quick videos, project documentation, etc.

My son also wanted a chance at the sticks. So we went out, did a couple test flights and let him have at it!

I also had the opportunity to play around with the automated flight patterns to create this clip, I then set it to his favorite song and....voila! A happy kid that thinks this is the coolest thing ever!

POV: you're a land surveyor who just survived WestFed in Las Vegas and now you're a pile of human on the floor of MSP airport.

One evening, I reviewed a plat on the dining room table, marking it up with redlines. I left it there, and over time, the kids started using it as a canvas for their markers, crayons, and paint, not to mention a placemat for meals. My wife and I started to like it; it not only offered space for the kids to express their creativity but also served as a practical dining surface. This got me thinking, so I prompted Grok for an image, added a logo because , and voilà—our new holiday placemat was born!

All jokes aside, it's beginning to look a lot like Chri..Chris...Christmas up here in the frozen tundra of ND.

Technology sure has changed since then!

REally good crew shot of Erastus A. Williams, U.S. Surveyor General, with survey party, circa 1892, Bismarck, ND. They definitely had the hats and chains for the job ... not to mention the furry rodman!
