The CK Daily – Weekend Adventures & Achieving Goals 💪
Good morning & Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone has had a great week so far. I’ve been soaking up the beautiful weather we’ve been having. I think the official fall weather is almost here. It’s still a bit warm in the afternoons, but the mornings and evenings are so enjoyable to take a nice walk, enjoy dinner outside, and just soak up some fresh air.
This weekend was an eventful one for our family! My Mom, Dad, Aunt, and Uncle came up to our house to enjoy some time with us and to celebrate my Uncle’s birthday and it was such a great time. This time they brought their dogs with them, so we had a full house. Now that I think of it, we were actually out numbered by dogs! We’re quite the dog-loving family, so a full house of dogs is the “norm” for us.
For my Uncle’s birthday, we gave our hand at a golf simulator experience. It was similar to TopGolf, however, you hit a real golfball at a projector screen and you can play different courses and games on the screen. It was a great time! We also ended up at a local cidery where you were able to pet the cows they had on their farm. Quite the experience, to say the least.
It was a great weekend and I was so grateful that my family made the drive up to see us. It’s always a great time to spend time with them and even more special now that we’ve got our little guy to join us on all of our adventures. I have to say, he’s becoming a well-traveled guy!
Also, a small update for you all since I’ve been utilizing this as my accountability. I officially hit 26 books which was my goal for 2023! I’m still on a mission to keep reading and enjoying books for the rest of the year, but feel excited to share that. If you’ve read any good reads lately, please share!
Have a great rest of the week!

Learning Center Article – What is Third-Party Maintenance?
When you have a lot of IT equipment, such as owning a data center or a large enterprise system, you need quality support to keep it running at its best.
For that support, you have a few options. You can rely on maintenance from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). You can house your own support staff. Or, you can contract a third party to take care of it all for you.
