He brought it back to me after a few days, and it was at that moment I remembered that every time he hits the woods he hoses down with bug repellent. Including his hands. The case of my Nikon rangefinder is all gooey sticky. The bug spray on his hands reacted with the rubberized-plastic case. I've found nothing to neutralize the damage. Bummer.

Your neighbor just sped up an inevitable process, at least here in Florida. All our rubber coated equipment turns in to a sticky mess in short time.
I never thought to use one of these for work. for as long as I can remember now all my Total stations have prism-less capacity. I just set one of those up and use it.
I was recently on a inter coastal waterfront job with my new fancy Hybrid GPS equipment. When I was finished shooting in the improvements on the property, I turned toward the water and experimented with the range on the prism-less.
If you pull up the cadd file you can see channel markers I shot in on the cadd file, I think I shot in a boat too. LOL!! I tried to shoot in a building across the inter coastal and it was too far.
Take a look at this Win10 Tablet, it is 3 years old.
