Raymo i was not being a smart a**, sorry.
I used to have some pavers set into my lawn properly aligned to true south for the tripod. They were leveled as well and the mount head set for my latitude. When i first did a proper alignment i marked the spot on each of the three pavers - a circle around the leg point, and drilled a hole there to locate the leg point next time. It work pretty well for a couple of years. I used a strap around my battery case and through an eye bolt screwed to the tripod centre bolt, when the strap was tight the tripod could not shift when slewing or during weight transfer. If you setup on a driveway the same should work just watch the levelling.
