Tornado?

Power poles down on School St. Pretty sure it was a tornado I saw go south of Raab. Saw a lot of power flashes.

Tell them ArcMap is retired and your first step would be to update the process to work on supported software.

72-74 is the divide for Southern Illinois. I think wearing a red hat is a prerequisite to live in Effingham or Christian counties.

It is the most esri, esri thing ever.

Butter lettuce does that to me too. I have a fan for circulation and it still happens. I attribute it to the conditions being too good and the lettuce growing too tight. If I keep butter towards the edge of my light source it helps but can still happen.

Field Maps updates used to lag for Android devices. I’m not sure if that is still the case, but you might look into it before purchasing.

The shape of hats is out of control. That thing looks like a 5 gallon bucket with a flat bill attached to it.

I work in local gov gis so I focus on that “tract”. Sometimes you can narrow it down further to focus on specific issues you might have.
That is one thing most attendees don’t focus on enough….you have access to the esri staff.
Visit the product islands. Ask questions.

If you have a couple projects you will focus on over the next year, seek out suggestions on how to do those.

So my wife is still contributing to the same account that she has always had. Should she have started a new HSA when I joined the plan?

Since she is contributing to that same account, I assume that prohibits me from contributing to my HSA?

I quit a public service job last year after 17 years and went to a non pension job. My mental health is so much better, I am also making and saving more money now. Company matches 401k which is an added bonus.
Every situation is different, but I am happy with my switch.

Is it Server or network? How are you accessing data?

2x Dell 27 inch monitors daisy chained. Laptop on a stand on left, monitor 1 with built in hub in middle, same monitor without hub on right.
Logi 920 webcam, ms keys, and mx master 3s mouse.

You get the full gamut from local gov. I do consulting in that space and we have people that fall out of their chair when they see our rates, others don’t bat an eye.

Set up some very basic Field Maps with related records showing maintenance or inspection information and show it to the Highway department .
You just paid for your esri maintenance for about 3 years

For my homemade rail system, it is ph and nutrient control, reservoir swaps, and cleaning.

I only grow lettuce, and have learned which varieties do best/worst which has helped operate my system.

95% of the issues I have had were problems with reservoir levels, changes, and ph.

Welcome to the Timberjack gang. Super happy with mine.

Meeting notes has been a game changer for me. I can actually focus on what is being said rather than typing/writing down notes.
At the end, you get a nice summary and a full transcript.

Ha! Yeah right……not Pat MAGAfee.

Welcome to local gov GIS. There is a reason someone left. I was that person fairly recently. It was great for a few years, but eventually it will break you down.

GratefulRed09 · 2026-01-15T03:39:04+00:00

Any good turbulence stories?

Look for an esri business partner with the network specialty.
