The CK Daily – What are your favorite summer activities?
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend.
My daughter reminded me this morning that she only has 3 more weeks of school left and how excited she is for the summer. I think she’s ready to take that long break from school and enjoy a fun summer.
I’ve planned an out-of-town trip so far for the summer, but I’m scrambling for more ideas. She asked me what we would be doing this summer, and in true Dad fashion, I reverse Uno carded her and asked her what she wanted to do this summer. It surprised me with how simple her answers were. She thought about it for a bit, and said, “Well. I want to go the mall a couple of times and have a playdate with my friends”. I think we can meet those expectations.
I foresee lots of trips to the park, trips to the lake, adventures at waterfalls, visits to rinky-dink zoos, and maybe an impromptu camping trip. We still have some time to plan some things, but I’d love to hear your ideas of ideal summertime activities for kids.
What were some memorable summers that you’ve had and what made them so memorable?
I hope you have a great day and a great week!

Learning Center Article – OTDR Testing (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer)
Fiber optics provide the most powerful and reliable networking options in the modern world, but they come with certain costs. Aside from the price point of the technology, fiber optic networking is much more complicated than copper-only systems, and installing and maintaining fiber optics requires specialized testing and troubleshooting.
In that pursuit, one powerful testing tool is known as an OTDR. This form of fiber optic testing can save time and improve results
