| Executions |
| A priest, a lawyer and an engineer are about to be guillotined.
The priest puts his head on the block, they pull the rope and nothing happens he declares that he's been saved by divine intervention so he's let go.
The lawyer is put on the block, and again the rope doesn't release the blade, he claims he can't be executed twice for the same crime and he is set free too.
They grab the engineer and shove his head into the guillotine, he looks up at the release mechanism and says, "Wait a minute, I see your problem...."

Tools of the Trade October 2011
|
Greetings!
Happy Halloween!!!! I can not believe we are almost through October already with Thanksgiving and then Christmas just around the corner. Yet another year has flown by it seems. I am pleased to see business in some areas picking up again and I hope it is for you.
As we get closer to the end of the year it is always important to remember to plan for those end of year Section 179 tax breaks. I put a little information up on my website and of course you can talk to your tax professional for more details.
Speaking of end of the year deals, Leica Geosystems is offering a Trade-in Allowance of $ 7,600.00 per Dual Frequency GNSS Receiver or Total Station (Robotic / Motorized / Manual) with the purchase of a New Viva GNSS RTK Rover System. This offer is valid through December 31, 2011. For more information contact Rodney or Jamie in our office and do NOT let this opportunity to get into new equipment pass you up! If you are considering Laser Scanning to stay competitive, to expand your offering, or to handle jobs you already have make sure to give me a call. I would love to come by and visit with you and show you what makes the Leica C-10 the only true option for a Surveyor looking at adding HDS to their offering.
If you are thinking about machine control or looking to upgrade your existing systems make sure to call Cody to talk about the end of year promotions on Leica Machine control and their "Trade-up" offers. There is a link here to a flier with more details.
Of course Carlson Software released their 2012 AutoCAD add-on and IntelliCAD software and I understand the 2012 Embedded software is expected out before year end. Give me a call about upgrade information if you need it. We also still have a little time left in the year for last minute training and consulting so make sure to give me a call before my schedule fills up there as well.
As I say every month, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I am living in the Dallas area now so if you are in the Metroplex and want to visit with me either come by the office or lets set up a meeting at yours. I really want to talk with you and know how things are going, tell you more about Leica HDS, and see if there is anything we can do to help you do what you do better.
Have a Happy Halloween and stay safe!
Sincerely,
Paul M. Carlson

In fact with every release of firmware the Leica ScanStation scanners become even more of a tool that every Surveyors needs in their mix. The Leica C-10 is the workhorse of scanning and as a Surveyor should be your only choice for quality, accuracy, and performance.
