Well, I used to use 3 different PDAs, but never really used them that much.  Then I decided to kick it old school with a pad of paper.  I started to use cheapo notebooks that are 3 for $1.  It was amazing how much I used the notebook.  Sometimes the “Handwriting recognition” on the pad of paper can be a real problem (bad pda joke), but I had the same problem with the pda.  Then I found this blog on tools and they mentioned the Moleskine notebook.  I thought it was a total rip off at Barnes & Noble for $10.  But it really is a great notebook.  I like the band to hold it together, the book mark thing, and the file at the end of the book.  I carry the book in my back pocket all the time and it holds up very well.  If you use a notebook you should check it out.

Weed eating time

I needed to cut down some trees on the side of my wash.  I tried to start my gas trimmer and it said “No”.  I am sick of gas crap (actually it is really a nice trimmer, it just does not work every year).  So, I purchased this Black & Decker electric trimmer / edger.  It is a Grass Hog XP, which sounds good.  (Check out the cool B&D video, just kidding it is not cool.) It is the ugliest trimmer out of all of them.  Why do you need fake chrome on a weed eater?  I lost some metal piece that stuck out the front about halfway through the process.  I started to look for it then came to my senses.  If it falls off that easily it is just a matter of time before I lose it again.  It is a very powerful weed eater and I like it.    It looks like it is a year old after the first use and yes, the chrome scratches and comes off.
