I have 8 PDF zines that I want to assemble into one booklet and print and bind. Is there decent free software for doing a layout where originally they were designed around half an A4 page?

They’re the trews of the denim varieties where you don’t wash them for the first six months or so, and only come in one length. Can’t account for shrinkage till then, will get them hemmed after the first wash or so.

What do you do for a living, kick down trees?

1/2 the week I run a bike shop, 1/4 the week I manage a coupe of rich folks gardens, the last 1/4 I work on my garden/house/car.

Whelp it’s gonna be 10 or so weeks before the White’s show up, grabbed some Thorogoods to work in. Need to stop destroying my Danners.

So I have a Seiko “Bishop” and it really bothers me that the hands are not lumed. How hard is it to apply lume to an unlumed hand?

Well yeah, but gotta get all we can out of “our mother the Mountain”.

Yeah it’s a 54, it’s 1cm shorter TT and 1cm longer head tube according to the charts for the Skeletor vs Havocstaff. I’ll physically measure them later.

I’ll let you know after I build it up. On paper it may fit, it just looks pretty small.

I haven’t been to a McDonalds in years I read that you can get a $1 Chicken burger, and unlimited soda for another few cents. Sure you can make more meals out of the same $ in potatoes, but making a sandwich at home isn’t going to be very much cheaper for the average Joe and Jane.

About 20 years ago I took a class called The Ethics of Food. In many communities in the US McDs or BK is the cheapest calorie per $. Back then it was $.59 for a burger, now it’s $.99 but I’m sure the same holds true. Used to be able to buy something we called “quarter water” or “juggies” for $.25, this was basically simple syrup with food colouring, back then the cheapest juice was $1.50 even a can of coke was $.75. This was primarily an issue for Jamal and Juanita not Joe and Jane if you will.

Similarly In the poorer parts of rural America it’s cheaper to buy a 2l of Mt Dew then a bottle of water.

Ha! Too big for me anyway. But I'm after something just like it.

Im worried it may be too small for me...

@JB

Hope LA is warm right now...

Yeah it’s been up for sale on VSalon for 2 years.

I'll take that as "I don't have a fucking clue but I'm going to comment on it anyway"

It’s been a while since I had to buy groceries in the UK. But from what I remember in the early 2000s something that would cost $1 in the States would cost £1.

My sensitive teeth tooth paste cost me $5.99 last week.

Looks tiny, only 1cm shorter eft.

Gotta be honest, I kinda want this:

i looked on their website but couldn't find the Bounty Hunter model

Just saw this: “White's Smoke Jumper built on Semi Dress Last equals Baker',s 'Bounty Hunter'. Bounty Hunter is a registered trademark and owned by Baker's Boots.”

Yup. I can forward on anything if you’d like.

Who make that?

Iron & Resin

Black or natural?

So Stag Provisions just sent out a 50% off all sale items coupon. Put some UW, Bridge and Burn, and Filson in my cart, got a 3 minute phone call in the middle of check out, and poof all gone...

Part of a healthy breakfast.

Seeing the earlier Pendleton talk, I don’t think I’ve ever spent more then $7 us on a Pendleton.

No no no. You're not supposed to do actual work in work boots.

Ha, this winter I’ve been doing a lot of work in my mountain lites, they have taken a beatin. I’ve been working in everything but work boots.

Aurora shoes. Great for gardening.

I wasn’t man enough for them.

I’m specifically ordering them as I’m destroying my Aurora’s on days I’m working on stone walls and/or doing tree work.

Weird, they’re definitely in the paper catalog. I ordered thru: https://bakershoe.com/products/bakers-custom-bounty-hunter-by-whites-boots

Supposedly better at sizing. I mailed in measurements and tracings.
