The CK Daily – Weathering the Winter Storm
Happy Monday!
This weekend was a little stressful. A large winter storm rolled through our area and we spent most of the time wondering if we were going to lose power. Thankfully we didn’t, but the ice covered just about everything, so we’ve been stuck at home for a few days. We were also very fortunate that no large trees fell around us. Staying warm and safe was a big win.
We made the most of it by staying indoors, playing games, and getting some cleaning done. That said, the cabin fever is definitely starting to set in. We’re really looking forward to things thawing out over the next couple of days and getting back to some sense of normal.
The kids are out of school again today, so we’ll be staying in a bit longer. Hope you’re staying warm and staying safe out there.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

Learning Center Article – What are Ferrari-Style Ethernet Cables?
When you consider cables, your top concerns are often data rates, energy loss and cost. The often overlooked value in Ethernet cabling is in their utility. This comes down to the molded boot. Ferrari boots (Easyboots) are simply undervalued. The molding is thinner than typical Cat5 or Cat6 connectors, and it is specifically engineered to connect faster and with fewer snags.
