"Life should be an endless Mediterranean summer."

That's a quote by, well... by me. I may use it someday, but at the moment it's just scrawled in my notebook. And it's in there next to sketches of a new style "Bimini Top" I want to make for Land Rover Series trucks, directions to the secret hot spring in the mountains outside Calpe, holiday gifts for my lovely wife, and a cocktail recipe I'm working on called "The Curse Of Lono." Plus lots more.

Notebooks are key. I have another one in every glovebox for service records and maintenance notes.
