Lessons from Homeschool  | Most Popular PPE | 7965G VoIP Phone | Set Clear Expectations | News to Start Your Day


We’re halfway there! It’s Hump Day!

(October 21st is National Reptile Awareness Day…with Halloween close by, I guess this applies to Slytherin House as well.)


This year for homeschool I am walking through a United States history curriculum with my girls. We started in 1000AD with Leif Erikson coming to North America, and we’ve worked our way up to the early 1700s. Last week our lessons were about Benjamin Franklin. We talked about his Poor Richard’s Almanac, and the girls had a project to cut out and assemble an elementary version of it. Inside there were several pre-printed words of wisdom:

  • Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
  • Haste makes waste.
  • A penny saved is a penny earned.
  • Half the truth is often a great lie.
  • Honesty is the best policy.
  • The rotten apple spoils his companions.
  • Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
  • Well done is better than well said.

Timeless wisdom. In some ways these things seem to be reminiscent of a time past, but in reality I believe they are just as relevant today as they were when Mr. Franklin printed them. I think we (all humans) often make things more complicated than they have to be. I seek to intentionally speak and live more simply than my detail orientated brain would like because I believe there is wisdom in it.

King Solomon was given “wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore” (1 Kings 4:29) and said in Ecclesiastes 1:9:

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

Timeless wisdom.

I am thankful today for being able to homeschool my children and learn lessons with them all over again from an older (and hopefully wiser) point of view.

What is something you are thankful for today? What wisdom do you have that you can share with others?

Working From The Road | Woodchucks? | Hand Sanitizer Blowout | Egalitarian Time


Happy Thursday!  

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

I am still on the journey home. I left Tampa yesterday and got to Tifton, GA last night around 8pm. I got setup, took the car loose and went to get something to eat (so cool!), and got back and to bed! I have an all day CK strategy meeting today that I will do from the camper. Then I’ll make the final leg home where the wife and girls can see the motorhome. I am excited to see what they think!  

Check out the Safety Supply deals Joe mentions below. The hand sanitizer is especially of note – we are blowing it out and starting over. Our sanitizer is not from any factory that had methanol issues by the way! Now that people can get sanitizer in every familiar store it’s time for us to clear the shelves and regroup. Oh, and he now has Lysol spray!  

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

A wildlife technician, Richard Thomas, took the famous tongue twister, “how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood” and calculated a rough estimate of what the answer would actually be. It came out to be around 700 pounds. 


Today’s Product Spotlight from Rerun (AKA Rebecca):

SFP-10G-LR 

Today’s product spotlight features a 10G transceiver that we love! The SFP-10G-LR transceiver module was designed for long-range transmission. It supports 10 Gbps data transfer rates over a distance of 10 kilometers (that’s 6.2 miles!) using singlemode fiber. This hot-swappable SFP+ transceiver is a fantastic option for satisfying connectivity needs in large data centers, enterprise wiring closets, large campuses, and more!    

We offer 3 versions of this module: 

  • Cisco Original – Factory Sealed 
  • Cisco Original – Refurbished 
  • CK Branded (Cisco Compatible) – Factory Sealed 

From Joe, our friendly Safety Supplies Product Marketer:

It’s Joe, I’m back! I know I missed a day, but I have enough good news for you guys to make up for it! First, we have another new product on the site! For a while now the only disinfectant spray’s we’ve had are Clorox. Well, we finally have a Lysol option available for you guys! This new Lysol All Purpose Cleaner is perfect for all you’re common household surfaces that require frequent cleaning and disinfecting! When it comes to the size and price this is very comparable to our Clorox Cleanup Spray except it doesn’t contain bleach which I know can be an issue in some situations!

Hand Sanitizer Blowout | The RV adventure continues | Cisco RCKMNT-1RU Rack Kit


Happy Monday!  

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

Well I’ve had quite an adventure in the last few days, and particularly Sunday. I’ve continued my hunt of a motorhome and settled on a couple brands and models within a certain age and miles range. I found what seemed to be the perfect unit at a fantastic price that was a few hours away. I called and had a great conversation with the owner and ended up going to look at it last Wednesday. While I expected to need to do some repairs, the quantity of them really started to pile up fast. It was a good bit below market value – way more than the repairs would cost, so I kept pondering on it.  

I was nearly willing to pull the trigger when I saw the exact same unit on RVTrader for a tad more money but without all the issues. It had a little wrong here and there but it was being offered by a dealer and they were going to make the repairs. Great! It was in Utah though, which is a 28 hour drive in a normal car, so quite a long trip in an RV but I thought ”hey, a person buying a motorhome had better be willing to drive distances!” Ha.  

I haggled a deal by phone, and got them to agree to let me sleep in the RV for a night when I arrived. They said they’d never had anyone ask that before and that I’d be locked in the fence with the guard dog. Sounded cool to me!  

I booked my flight on Sat afternoon for Sunday evening. I planned to fly out at 8pm, arrive at 10pm with the time change, grab a hotel, and then head over Monday to begin my inspection and overnight stay.  

My wife had been resistant to this whole plan until I made an executive family decision to get one, and said that if we hated it we could sell. After that she started pondering the whole thing and next thing I know she is showing me yet another unit on RVTrader late Sat night. It was even BETTER than the one in UT. It was even more than the previous one but was worth the difference hands down. Trouble is I’d already put down a $1000 non-refundable deposit and bought a plane ticket to Utah.  

Nevertheless, it was better enough that it was worth exploring. And, it was in Florida – much closer! I spoke with the owner Sun afternoon and told him I had a one way ticket to UT that NIGHT. He told me everything I needed to know, described all the updates that had been done, and even had a pull behind SUV for sale as well, which we also wanted. The fact that it was already setup and ready to go was a huge bonus. 

We started haggling price via text and there were long delays between responses. I figured he was pondering or talking to his wife but it turned out he was on business calls (on a Sunday?). We still were not talking the same language on price and I was already driving to the airport. I texted that I would change my flight from Salt Lake to Orlando if we could agree. We were close on price so I went ahead and asked if he’d mind if I diverted my flight to Orlando.  

He didn’t reply quickly, but I was half way to the airport and needed to make a decision. I decided to take a chance and change my flight to Orlando. I’d deal with the deposit / Salt Lake unit later. I pulled up the delta app to look for a change flight option. “Your upcoming flight will allow check in 24 hours prior to departure”. Wait, what? I HAD BOOKED THE FLIGHT IN OCT!!

TTGLIF, Floor and Wall Dispensers in Stock, MILLION DOLLAR SALE

Thank the Good Lord it’s Friday!

Thank you Lord for another week of your mercy and kindness, your provision, your guidance, your grace, and your continuing forgiveness through Christ to those who trust him as Lord and Savior. Thank you for making forgiveness and reconciliation with you just a surrendered attitude of the heart away. Lord help us in this country (and around the world) to learn to love one another with your heart – to love our neighbors as ourselves. Help us to become less so that you may become more. May goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD forever. I pray that all those that read these words be encouraged, that they have an interest to know you, or that they know you and desire to grow in their surrender and relationship with you.

Have a good weekend! 
I hope you have plans of rest, seeing friends and family, and perhaps some summertime activities this weekend. I’ve been at the office every night this week filming assembly and product videos (we have to film at night so it’s quiet). I am R.E.A.D.Y. to work from home Friday and ease into the weekend. Taking last weekend off was so nice I am going to see how much I can reproduce it!

Speaking of videos – I want to give a huge shout out to Chad Gentry, my warehouse operations manager. He runs around all day making sure you get your orders on time and then stays till midnight or later some nights to be my cameraman! I find it so cool how no matter what a person’s “day job” is we all have skills and passions that are sometimes very different from what we do all day. And he’s definitely talented with video and having an eye for what would look and sound good. Not that any of us are professionals but I can tell you that the things we put our are much better because of him!

We just finished filming at 1am this morning. Needless to say, I am like a tired muffler – Exhausted. We worked on Hand Sanitizer Dispensers – both wall and floor stand models. I hope we will have them edited and live before too long! I will let you know when they are.

Floor and Wall Model Sanitizer dispensers are now in stock!

Wall Mount – Gel/Liquid – “Dispenses” liquid or gel sanitizer. IN STOCK
Wall Mount – Spray – “Sprays” liquid sanitizer. IN STOCK

Restful Weekend, Ministry of Business, New lower pricing


Happy Monday!

Wheew! I feel better! When I hit send on my email Thursday night (to be sent Friday morning) I shut the laptop and didn’t open it until just now (it’s Sunday night about 11pm). It was my oldest daughter Caroline’s 7th birthday today (Sunday) and we made a long weekend out of it. We had my wife’s parents in town, as well as some good friends. We spent the weekend by the pool, grilling out, eating at Caroline’s favorite restaurant, and going for putt putt. It was strange to not work at all but was very much needed. After the friends left it occurred to me that we barely “talked shop”, which is unusual. I think I was in overload shutdown mode haha.

I just caught up on emails and was so blessed by the ones I received. I asked last week for your experiences with returning to normal, and the replies were varied and great to hear. I loved how one person pointed out that the return of big yellow school buses on the road is a signal to the public that “things are ok”, and the importance of them doing their part to make that happen. Wow, how cool. I said that I agreed it was partly the buses being on the road, and partly Waffle House being open haha. Someone else pointed out that he is near retirement and is considering taking the coronavirus changes as a push to buy an RV, hit the road, and see some sites!

I have also had people that have told me that my emails have, in some way, impacted their walk with the Lord, encouraged them to spend time reading the Lord’s word, praying, growing, and being more bold in their faith. Here is what I most recently replied with ….

It has taken a number of years to get to the point where I could email out like I do openly about faith. The journey began in 2010 with another business guy taking an interest in me, sharing his journey, and inviting me and my wife to a ministry through business conference. SURRENDER was a huge part of it which happened just a few months prior. From there it has been a matter of walking in the light that I have, staying in the Word (which isn’t always consistent!), and being obedient to what the Lord puts in front of me. With the emails I am sending out, an opportunity to send them appeared and I took it. Then the Lord opened the door one day for me to start saying some things, and it’s gone from there. I never do more than I feel I am supposed to, and I attempt to never do less – which is the obedience part.

Jojo Update. Clorox Wipes In Stock. Great Deal on 8oz Gel Sanitizer


Thank the Good Lord it’s Friday

Father, thank you for this this week, and thank you for the weekend that is upon us. Thank you for the many blessings of this week, including the small things we take for granted like the air we breathe, and our pumping heart! There are so many complexities to the bodies that we live in that we take for granted – but you know the count of every hair on our heads, and care about each of us deeply – whether we know or believe it or not! Thank you for your provision. Thank you for our customers, and for our staff, and for the joy of the work of our hands.

Thank you for the challenges of the week – those that either caused us to learn and grow, or caused us to realize our dependence on you for your provision, protection, correction, or guidance.

Father I continue to lift little Jojo up to you. Thank you for your grace and mercy in her healing and progress so far! Please continue to heal and to bring rest to the parents and family.

Guide our minds, indwell our hearts, teach us your ways, and through us may you bless others.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.


Jojo Update: (From the great aunt)

My nephew Blake sent me the following update today:

His wife Chelsea should be discharged next week.
Josephine is no longer the sickest baby but will be in the NICU for a few months.
She has a chest tube drain to remove excess air from her chest cavity.
She has the loop drain for her bowels and getting IV Supplements with the hope the perforation will repair itself.
She is on a ventilator as expected and went from 100% down to 41%.
She opened one eye a hair he said. She went from 10 IVs drugs down to 3.
She is progressing slowly. She weighed 1 lb 12.6oz at birth and is 1 lb 7.8oz today. The weight loss is expected and she is in line with her birth size and gestation.

Blake said: “We appreciate all the prayers everyone is providing, there’s no possible way to express our true thanks to those willing to lift their names up in prayer.”

He also said I could share a picture. We think it would help with the prayer connections.

Please continue to keep Jojo and family in your prayers!!

8oz Gel Sanitizer arrived today. GREAT PRICE!! (24 per case if you want to order that way FYI. We will have the case listed separately soon). Order here!

Craig – CEO

Business News for Today:

  • Over 3,855,000 people worldwide have recovered and over 817,000 people in the US have recovered!
  • The United States has surpassed 2 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus, according to data tracked by The Washington Post, by far the highest reported total in the world, less than five months after the first reports that the virus had reached American soil. More than 7.4 million cases and 416,000 deaths have been reported worldwide, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
  • SeaWorld has reopened to the public, the latest Orlando theme park to welcome customers even as the number of new cases of covid-19 are rising in Florida and other states in the South.
  • The federal response to the coronavirus outbreak is pushing the U.S. government’s budget deficit to unprecedented levels. On Wednesday, the Treasury Department said the gap between what the U.S. government spends and what it collects in taxes widened to $1.88 trillion for the first eight months of this fiscal year — an all-time high. The federal deficit for all of 2019 was $984 billion, which was already considered unusually large.
  • Another 1.5 million people applied for unemployment insurance for the first time last week, adding to the tens of millions of people who have applied for the benefits since the pandemic began and continuing a months-long drop in the number of initial claims.
  • A shortage of brewer’s yeast amid the coronavirus pandemic has forced Marmite manufacturers to halt production of large jars of the famous sticky spread. Known for its unique taste and “love it or hate it” slogan, the brown food product, which is often spread on toast, is made from concentrated yeast extract — a byproduct of brewing beer.
  • NASA awarded Pittsburgh-based space robotics startup Astrobotic with nearly $200 million on Thursday for a key lunar mission, which will hunt for deposits of frozen water the moon. Astrobotic will be responsible for launching the rover, called VIPER, and landing it near the moon’s south pole in late 2023.
  • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Thursday that it ordered Amazon.com Inc and eBay Inc to stop selling a wide range of pesticide products on their platforms, including those that are falsely marketed as being effective against the novel coronavirus. The EPA said the products on its list are unregistered, misbranded, or restricted-use pesticides, and pesticide devices that pose a significant health risk to consumers, children, pets and others exposed to them.
