Exciting News

So there I am yesterday morning in an intersection in a quiet residential neighborhood that is not quite ghetto.

I look up and here comes a cop blazing down the street. He passes by me, stops jumps out of the Tahoe, draws his weapon and points it at a guy in a car that is in a driveway.

Needles to say I immediately vacated said intersection and went behind my truck in case gunfire ensued.

The cop holstered the weapon and grabbed him and dragged him out of the car while the guy (a great big white supremacist looking fella) proceeded to scream like a little girl. It was actually sad.

By then two other cop cars had arrived and the suspect was subdued and the friend on the front porch was being spoken to by one of the cops.

Exciting? Kind of in that this happened at 5:30 am.

So I was going around a block doing a boundary. I get to my lot and this old guy from next door (Nick) comes out and talks to me for a bit. He keeps an eye on things and the property that I was surveying was vacant. Great guy, he even let me go into his yard.

I was asking him about some of the neighbors because I had to trace some adjoining monuments and he told me that I should probably watch out for the guy on the other side of the subject, that his kid is a heroin addict.

I looked at him and asked if I should lock my truck. He chuckled and said "he's to dumb and to slow to steal your stuff, he's just unpredictable".

Comforting?  WTF?

All in all the job went smooth and I actually made some money on it even with the results of survey that I had to prepare. I'll wait to file it until I have a few to do.

Keep your eyes open out there surveyors. You never know what might land on you.

Back in Action

OK Boys and Girls I am back on the air wave.

You want to know the worst thing about coming back from vacation? COMING BACK!!

Much has changed for this kid over the last month or so. I have been working on several projects (not all revolving around surveying) and yes working on survey things to.

I have gone and changed the name of my company. I am now the proud owner of "Arizona Surveyors Incorporated".

You may be asking yourself why on earth did you change the name?

Simple. Marketing and SEO. That is the only reason and the old name is that of a dead guy. (I think I mentioned that before.)

So now I have a lot of work to do revolving around the new name. First is bank accounts and informing clients and vendors. Second is a website.

The website is something I am jazzed about. This site will be built on new technology using word press and this blog will be embedded in the site itself.

My dusty old RJR site is just that, old and dusty. I will be letting it go into the cyber sky shortly.

Out with the old and in with the new.

I hold a philosophy that when a person becomes to comfortable they will stagnate and fall behind. In many ways I have done that in my equipment and technology. Mixing it up and changing is key to my life.

Cash flow and billings are on the rise again, so I will now blast like a big red rocket of love into the forward motion. I will be an unstoppable machine with a constant increase flowing my way. Business will expand and things will fall back into place.

Then will it be good enough? Good enough never crosses my mind. No matter how good it gets it can always get better. No, it's never good enough.

In case any of you though I did this job for the glory? Ha!!!!! You would be incorrect.

OK. Much is coming on this blog. I have a lot of cool survey things to talk about and also a lot of biz.

Stay tuned!!

    Welcome to my blog. I will be discussing the business of Surveying and my personal opinions and experience on the topic. 

    This page is about being a business man who happens to be in the business of surveying. 

    Those of you in private practice will get it. You government and big company guys may or may not (DOE), however you will find it entertaining. 

    I have been surveying in Arizona since 1985 and I currently own and operate Arizona Surveyors, LLC.
