The CK Daily – Traveling & Conquering Goals
Good morning CK Family!
What a month it’s been so far! I traveled to Denver for a big conference, went to Milwaukee for a wedding, and on Friday will be at Liberty University celebrating my husband’s sister’s graduation from her master’s program. So much travel, but all very fruitful and exciting.
I have a few more adventures ahead of me this month and then things will finally slow down for a bit, which I am so grateful for! We’ve gotten several things for our little one coming soon that we’ve been throwing into his future room, but it’s quite a mess in there so I’m looking forward to having some time to actually put all of that together.
Also, a book update for you! I was able to read 3 books over the past two weeks while I was traveling so am getting closer and closer to catching up to my goal of reading 26 books this year!
Cheers to a great rest of the week!
Ashley

Kendall Howard 10-32 cage nuts create a threading mounting hole for mounting equipment on universal rack rails. They are usually used in wall mount cabinets, server enclosures, and open frame racks. These cage nuts are made with a clear zinc finish which makes it stronger and more durable. They also have a snap-in design which features wings that can be compressed to snap into the square holes. This design allows for the nut to stay securely in place.
Learning Center Article – Importance of Fiber Optic Cleaning
As the name implies, fiber optic cleaning is the process of cleaning fiber connector end faces and components that are prone to contamination. Contamination can hurt fiber optic performance and even lead to test failures. Cleaning resolves one of the leading causes of these failures and produces a pristine fiber optic network that performs as expected.
To put it in simple terms, fiber optic cleaning is necessary to allow the components to perform as intended.
