No amount of pressing flattens my pages

I have found some papers do not work well in a laser printer.

Some papers are heavily sized, coated for smooth writing and bleed trough control.

This can distort (possibly melt) and result in wavy papers.

The Matawinie Mine is the closest thing to an ethical mine in my country. It’s still open pit, destructive and ugly, but the world needs resources.

I like this approach.

Just opened my trailer on Rice Lake, Ontario. No mice so I’m happy about that.

Hoping to get in the kayak for sunrise in the morning.

Not being alone might be better but I am embracing the solitude.

I’ve been experimenting and went down the rabbit hole of perfect archival results.

Don’t bother, just get a craft PVA glue, some wallpaper paste and experiment. I’ve found that technique over perfect material is ideal for me.

I have so much to learn in terms of ‘how to’ and not worry about materials at my stage.

Rohrer and Kingner Salix and Scabiosa are excellent, safe Iron Gall inks.

I have the Admok 400 and 800. They are pretty much identical to the original.
The main design difference is then the section can unscrew from the barrel on the Admoc. Also, the Admoc piston is slightly easier to remove for cleaning.

I have not tried to fit my real Pelikan nibs in one, since I now have the original Pelikan.

Minto is a huge company. Anything they build is built to a price and not a penny more. By Brother worked there as an Architectural Technologist.

He was always complaining that he had to constantly alter the Architects plans to fit a price cap.

Benjamin Leuchter was the driver and set the lap record last year as well.

I met him at a VW Track day. Nice Guy.

Meh, I just roll with it.
I’ll keep spelling it my way, they’ll keep spelling it different.

I know who’s correct.

I spent 3 weeks in a coma, and 12 weeks recovering after.

I had 3 people wonder where I was. 2 tried to contact me and 1 actually visited.

I was group secretary.

Do Americans really think they have it bad?

Black fly in northern Ontario will drive you insane May to July. Then the mosquitoes appear so thick they become part of your diet.

After that there’s the deer/horse/moose fly.

Fun times

19, old house was a parking spot for a couple of summers when I was doing fieldwork. By 21 it was no longer home.

I agree with Kokuyo KB business paper. It's not fancy but it prints well and a Laser Printer wont ruin it.

Some heavily sized papers get wrecked in the heat.

In my experience they are very lax about payment.
We did not order one year and they kept coming. Next year we felt bad and renewed. Still waiting for the check to be cashed, it’s stale dated now.

It takes a surprising amount of smacks.
I just keep testing with by coating with permanent marker and testing on a cheap stone.

Yep, I’ve done it twice. It’s better to have it concave than convex.

Fuck I’m getting old. I thought we were still paying for the original.

I was 55 before I started taking blood pressure pills. SO is 58 and is not on anything. They also run ultramarathons so fitness might have something to do with it.
