The CK Daily – Polar Express Magic & Family Fun!
Good morning & happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a great start to the week!
The weekend was full of Christmas magic around here! We got to attend my friend Christy’s annual Christmas party, and it did not disappoint! There theme was The Polar Express and she had all sorts of Polar Express crafts for the kids to work on, cookies to decorate, and lots of food and hot chocolate to consume! Everyone wore pajama’s which was super cute! At one point, we received a delivery from the North Pole with a bell for each child and a note to let them know they were all on the “nice list”! They loved it!
We also had our Christmas Family Fun Night which was an absolute blast. We decorated a gingerbread house, decorated cookies, did crafts, ate pizza, and played lots of silly games! It was a wonderful time and we’re already looking forward to next year!

Learning Center Article – OTDR Testing (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer)
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.
