  Just wanted to check the slopes on some roads I will be grading.
  
  Inclinometer: $2.50
  
  That's about a 30% grade! Should be fun…

  Can you see the link? Does it work? I have to say I've never had so much trouble posting pictures to a forum. I can see the pic in my first post but I guess you guys can't.

  Well the imgur link works but for me it wouldn't show the feature. Everything else came through OK.
  
  I like Van Houtte coffee myself, they are at all of the Chevron stations up here.
  
  Did you download that pic into Visio and calculate that way or just print out and use a protractor? Anyway, it's creative and innovative. I like it, I just use my Droid phone for guesstimates.

  Then it's probably me with this @#$%$#@ Boingo connection!
  
  I have one of THESE MODEL# 25CDA on the dozer. Works great with the six-way blade.

  Yep… used a protractor.
  
  I don't have a dozer for another month but when I do one of these is going in it.

  WOW! That's cool. Where did you find it? That looks like it may perform as well as Topcon's System 5 system for a lot less $$$. Sans machine interface.
