Calling out Matthew Sibole

Well I screwed up again and erased a line that was connected to two monuments, 1/2 mile from each other horizontal and it seemed like the same vertical, and was freaking out because it also erased the points. Not wanting to make the trek again back down the hill. I called Sibole. He said its gone but the screen shots would be on the SD card. Incorrect but technically he was right. Screenshot was also deleted. That got me thinking. The file is still there just the index was changed. Downloaded a free copy of EaseUS Data recovery and after the 30 min recovery it found 4500± screenshots which had no rhyme or reason of their new file names. So I displayed large thumbnails and started scrolling. About 3/4 of search and BAM! Found the screenshot of my deleted point! The old me would have laughed at the office work to fix my screw up and just went back down hill and reshot the point. The new lazy me is now happy with my laziness.

Thank you Matt!
