Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to the CablesAndKits CEO daily email. Read more about this email by scrolling to the very bottom.

We had a great time with our friends at Great Wolf Lodge! It’s two hours from our house … if you have kids or grandkids I’d say it’s worth a couple hour drive to go!

On the way home I was able to pickup my motorhome from service being done on it. My wife dropped me off on the way home so I didn’t have to drive the TOAD (RV slang for tow vehicle) up there and pull it back. As I left the parking lot I was like MAN this thing is peppier! Then I realized I wasn’t towing the car – haha. Now to get ready for our FIRST family camping trip this Friday!

I’m mentally preparing tonight for the video shoot tomorrow. I’ve been an extra in a movie once before with a friend so I’ve seen first hand how many things go into filming something, but holy cow – there is a LOT going on to prep for this shoot tomorrow by the producer, director, and crew. They brought a wrecked car onsite today and got it on its side. That’s part of the story that’s being shot there tomorrow. I helped pull a few last minute things together for them which was fun. My grading contractor had a lot of fun beating up the car with his skid steer getting it on its side too 😉

Did I mention that I was asked to be in the video? I’ll be a guy that stops at a wreck but DOESN’T help and drives off. I’ll be honest – I’ve struggled with that!! I decided to take my glasses off and shave so it doesn’t look as much like me lol.

Thinking about all this has me daydreaming about a fun project I thought of years ago. I’m quick witted and find the humor in everything. I thought it would be a blast to have a YouTube show where me and other funny people sit and write out jokes for tv, movies, etc. The thought of the laughs that would come from finding the humor in any subject is exciting. All shows (Seinfeld, Saturday Night Live, etc) have writers that sit there and come up with the situations and material. I thought I’d call the show “how the sausage is made” lol.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

2020 IT budgets being slashed |Thermometers and Alcohol Wipes In stock!

Happy Wednesday!

Gartner Predicts IT Spending Will Plummet By $300 Billion In 2020 As CIOs Slash Budgets. To a large degree this makes a lot of sense to me. The country has been shut down for weeks and weeks, lets just say 3-4 months by the time people are back in the swing of things – maybe. So, If you lose 1/3 of your year it stands to reason that you’d spend less on IT this year. But while logical, that doesn’t mean it’s music to the ears of everyone in the IT supply chain. If product A isn’t getting bought, the components that make up product A aren’t getting bought, and the labor to make them isn’t needed, and so on and so on. I’ve basically just described how an economy works. The wheels on the bus go round and round. Anyway, only time will really tell. I know there are plenty of people ready to GET SOMETHING DONE so if they can advance their projects they will. But, both companies and individuals alike pull back on discretionary spending when things are uncertain or revenue is down. That’s why consumer spending is one of the biggest predictors of economic growth – as they spend, the businesses have to invest to keep up with the demand, and the wheels on the bus go round and round. What do you think?

Today was a big day. After a heck of a lot of waiting, and money spent, we finally got a shipment of 800 thermometers in today. I used UPS CRITICAL to ship this one in, and even though it is about the most expensive shipping you can buy, it still took 6 or 7 days to get here. Customs leaving China plus the capacity on planes is just overrun. But, they showed up and this morning we will start getting orders out. Finally. I still have others on order that should be here shortly.

Here is a video of it!

Enjoy the Small Things, 10oz Pump Top Gel Hand Sanitizer, Alcohol Wipes, Cheaper KN95’s, and more!

Happy Tuesday!

The sounds of the birds chirping. The smell of coffee roasting. The endless possibilities that lie ahead of you today. Take a moment to enjoy the day for all the small things!

We have been working like maniacs over here at CK to get and keep the things you need and are asking for in stock. It’s easy to wear slap out so this advice is for me more than anyone!

It rained here Sunday night/Monday morning (and I left my shoes by the pool Sunday night. I NEVER do that, but I did and they were soaked yesterday morning. But I had another pair and I just stopped to be thankful for the rain. Praise God almighty for the many blessings – especially the small ones like wet shoes that come from a relaxing rain, or the sound of a bird chirping, or the pleasures of a cup (or 20) of coffee. Life is short. Enjoy it the best you can!

Here is today’s version of the email update. I keep rearranging it trying to see what I like best. Unless and until I put images in the email sometimes it is hard to describe and get quick attention to the things I would like you to see. If you have any preferences or suggestions please share them with me.
