The CK Daily – Trenches, Technology, and Time with Friends
Happy Monday!
I spent time helping to dig out a rather long trench to install drainage pipes at our new church building site this weekend. Luckily we had a small excavator onsite that made quick work of getting through the dry Georgia red dirt. We had to make sure that the trench was a little under 2 ft deep to start, and then we gradually dug a little deeper as we went on so that the water would drain properly towards our retention pond. This was some hard manual labor and a lot of us commented that it would have taken a larger team of folks several days to dig something like this with just shovels. I suppose they did this sort of thing back in the day and it’s made me even more thankful for technology! Even though I didn’t do that much digging, I am still sore from Saturday, one of the great perks of aging!
Later that day I went to have dinner with some old friends and made some new ones at a hot pot place. We had some great conversations and played a board game called Space Base afterwards. It was great catching up, but I was super tired. I crashed mostly on Sunday and went to church on Sunday, rounding out a very eventful weekend. Hopefully I’ll recover by this upcoming weekend from all the activity, haha!
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

Cage nuts and screws are the “nuts and bolts” of your equipment room. They are responsible for making sure your equipment is safely attached to your equipment rack. This particular configuration (cage nuts and 10-32 screws) are not only the most common, but also one of the most flexible configurations.

It’s a feature specific to Ethernet devices. It’s pretty common these days, but it is important to have on any network that services multiple endpoint devices, and when you know how it works, it can help you plan out your own network that much better.
