    Default Carolina Pad and Paper Notecard Keeper

    This is my everyday carry PDA and book of lists. I've run my life out of this product for almost two years.

    Things I love about it:
    • It's top-bound (the way I use it) so it's Lefty-friendly.
    • It fits in my breast pocket along with a pen or two.
    • Cheap! Less than two bucks.
    • Easy to modify for my purposes.
    Things I don't love about it:
    • The way I hold it I'm writing over vertical ruling
    • The store where I used to get 'em (Family Dollar) doesn't seem to have them anymore.


    Ok, here are some photos of the beast:



    as they come. Kinda froofy looking for a dude to be carrying around. I modify mine with:
    a sticker on the back



    And a current photo of my offspring on the front:



    the photo puts the pad in time context. yeah.

    I inscribe the back of the cover with contact information:



    Losing an in-use pad is a stressful event. I lost one once (at work) but never had it returned. ugh.

    As I move through the pad I clip a corner to make it easy to get to the current day.



    One pad usually lasts me about 2 months. Every day gets a card, and I use the backs of the cards for jotting down info, measurements, whatever.

    Okay, you explained this to me with the one you sent me. Did I ever tell you that my daughter commandeered that pad of index cards? My every day jotter is my Beastly Leather cover with my own roughly 3.5 x5 notebooks made of HP laser paper.

    Looks like an easy to use system. I'll have to keep an eye out in the index card section of stationery and bargin shops.
    How many perforated index card in the pad ? It looks nice and chunky.


    Would the reward be one of your fancy boutique beers or just an ordinary one ?

    there are about fifty cards per pack. slim enough for the shirt pocket.

    the reward beer is the beer of choice, of course.
