Nate, I figured you were using that I-phone and tried to type Crain and it changed it to corn. 

That may be true, at some times, but not this time.

Do you know who the patron saint of surveyors is?

"our lady of assumption"

Maybe I'm showing my age. Old Vernacular. Have you heard? Some surveyors don't carry plumb bobs anymore!

You know there's an I-phone app for your plumb bob.

Didn’t know that. 
If there’s an app for a virtual garden, to get vegetables from or house to live in, don’t mention it!!

I was just kidding about the plumb bob app. Then I thought, maybe.........

Sure enough if you google it there is a plumb bob app for the I-phone. 

It makes a real looking plumb bob hang from the phone. 

 

Get with the 21st century Nate!!!

Mr Moe,

You are showing you youth. Old guys like me can use any phone for a bob. No app needed. Just put a wrap of duct tape on it, run some string through the tape, and it will hang. But, they are not really heavy enough, and it's hard to make a dimple. No app needed. Charging the Batts is still optional.

Best regards.

Nate

I wouldn't use it as a hammer, either...

Android has the compass also. 

I agree, I like android better, but I have Apple cause grandson's parents have Apple and it makes it easier to facetime with them. 

HaHa this hits home with me. My grandson's parents. That's the way it is now.
