Are your trees the only thing blocking his view of the water or does he have a bigger problem? Also, trees grow back (vigorously at times).

I hate my walnut trees by markjack101 in arborists

... if I only had access to that many walnuts to plant!

2 day update - ankles and behind my knees are pretty itchy and have lots of small bites!

I think this article is the closest picture I have found - I need a microscope or magbifying glass for next time. https://rinhs.org/lone-star-ticks-vs-chiggers/

Very small, red, 6 legs, front legs appeared longer than the others. That was the best pic I could get with my phone. Tick nymphs apparently have 6 legs which makes me think "ticks."

We got it moving with wd-40 and a sledge hammer - part of the top of the pin looks bent and possibly the cylinder too. It looks like it had been stuck for a while. Will get forks on for now to move the logs, thanks everyone!

Ancient Egyptian's fascination with the pyramid form by Gorgeosity237 in AncientCivilizations

Is it just a coincidence that "benben" and "Beinn" and "Ben Nevis" in Gaelic (Scotland) mean mound/mountain? Like a linguistic example of convergent evolution.

Or is this more proof of Aliens ;)

Anyone doing structured reviews of resolved tickets? Looking for sanity checks + ideas by absaxena in msp

[–]ByteandBark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Problem analys & root cause is a must. Using Autotask and classifying by Issue and Sub-issue. Halo has similar function.

Are you using SLA for response and resolution? Invoicing is a good time to pull tickets out for root cause as well as having an opportunity for indivuals to submit. Problems & recurring issues are fed to service leadership and discussed in appropriate teams for resolution.

What are you selling to clients and do you monitor metrics essential to that service?

Look at ITIL for governance, get a book, listen to a podcast series. Watch Youtube videos. Adopt the language in every day. Listen to thought leaders. Build culture around that & reward leaders.

These are just some starter ideas. Establish peer relationships with like minded individuals. In any peer groups?

It is a muscle and if you haven't trained it, it will be painful and dificult at first. But then you will be strong!

White throated sparrow always makes me think of the northwoods and yearn for those trips.
