    Propagating plants and selling them on our version of Craig’s list. If people only knew how easy it is and what they are paying for. 

     

    Career related but I also edit a journal. Doesn’t pay too well but the non-financial returns are high. 

    Cloning? 

    What you write...with? Pens.

    What you write with?

    These are some of the pens I have in my rotation or have just bought. Trying to see if I like them or not. Some pens I like for different purposes. Some for neat work related stuff. Some for taking notes. Some for bold signatures. 

     

    Zebra F-301 1.6 mm Bold

    My favorite boldest ballpoint pen. I love the pen itself. Heavy duty metal body that feels good in the hand. Great for leaving big bold signatures and doodling or notes.  This one I’m using is kinda old and running dry so not the best example. Only problem I have is they don’t make a blue with the 1.6 mm Also the bold is getting harder to find. Usually only at Staples now. 

     

    Foray Advanced Ink Boldpoint 1.2mm. 

    This is my second favorite ballpoint that I’ve tried. Flows really smoothly. One problem is the ink collects on the pen and the first time you use it, it might leave a spot on the paper. I also wish the body was  more like the Zebra. This body seems cheap and flimsy. 

     

    Third one is the same just different color.

     

    Moma Muji Aluminum .7mm

    A bit too thin for my liking. But I read a review that this was his favorite writing utensil. So I gave it a shot. The aluminum body is super light. The pen itself writes very smooth. No skips. One odd thing is the pen itself that comes out of the body seems really small and flimsy. 

     

    Zebra Z Grip Medium. 

    I just took this one from work. It’s okay. Nothing spectacular. This would be a pen i let someone borrow and not care too much if they snag it. 

     

    The Ohto Fude ballpoint. 

    This one is a very watery gel pen. Obviously very bold. Writes nicely. Dries very quickly. Though not a big fan of gel pens. Would work well on porous papers. 

     

    Sharpie Pen Fine. 

    This is my go to pen for work. I can write very small and legibly with it. I work outdoors and the sun fades regular ballpoints in a couple days. This stays legible forever. The body is thin and simple and the pen itself is easy to write with and doesn’t bleed through. My favorite most often used pen. 

     

    *Also /nh throughout.

    Looking for a good app that has eye drop and color fills with multiple layers. I don’t have a computer much less any adobe software. Just looking to tweek some designs around a bit. Bonus for working with vectors and supporting various files. Nothing professional though. 

    hats

    Has anyone had custom new era hats made? I used to get Black LA ones with a 3 color embroidery (red, gold, green). [see profile pic] But the place I used to buy from doesn’t sell hats anymore so my connect is dead. Had someone break into my car and snag it. I have one more. But looking to purchase more to lower anxiety levels of never having one again. Even if I have to buy in bulk.  Wondering what cost and numbers are needed to place an order. If that isn’t feasible I have a connect in China that makes bootleg jerseys, sunglasses, and shoes that can make one off stuff. But quality is hit or miss at times. Prefer going the legit way.

    @misteravenI love my keens. I get them for my work shoes. The ones I get are the ones with no shoelace. I hate having to take my gloves off and tie them or the laces getting funky from dragging through gross shit before I realized they’re untied. So that’s the reason I got them. I’ve used them for over a year working/walking/stomping on 300+ degree hot asphalt, tar, diesel, water, etc. Because of the durability of those I’ve made them my official work boot and purchased Keen hiking boots and the weird looking water/river shoe/sandal.
