The CK Daily – Prepping the Grill
Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! The Fall temperatures have finally arrived again in Georgia and I am loving it. A lot of people associate the summer with grilling, but I think Fall is the best time to grill. Mosquitos aren’t a big deal, the weather isn’t scorching, and the leaves outside are changing into vibrant colors… did I mention it isn’t deathly hot? I was fortunate enough to get some grilling in this weekend – I was able to snag a couple of strip steaks on sale and went at it old-school style on a weber grill with all-natural lump charcoal. The steaks turned out perfectly – nice outside sear and crust and perfectly medium rare in the center. It was delicious and now I’m hungry again.
As I was in the process of getting the grill ready, I thought about how everything needed to be prepared and in order for the desired results. I had to get the grill ready by making sure it was clean, had to light the coals with a charcoal chimney, season the meat, and had to wait for the right conditions (the grill to be properly heated), all before throwing the steaks on the grill. It made me think about the projects I work on, and all the preparation needed to get the desired results. Sometimes I just want things to happen immediately, but I forget that it can take several steps to get the desired results. I needed that reminder this weekend as I was frustrated with myself for not getting things done faster. It’s all in the preparation… because nobody wants an undercooked or even a burnt steak.
Do you guys experience the same challenges? Would love to hear your thoughts! Have a great week!

The truth is that wired and wireless networks offer significant pros and cons when compared to each other.
