== Orange Dot Grid Notebook ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I talked about how nice looking it was and really good looking. And last night, I still hadn't taken it out of the package. So I unwrapped it last night to start using one and I opened it up and I didn't realize that it had an orange inside cover and an orange dot grid.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I mean, I think I just ignored you when you were talking. And I just I didn't put two and two together, right? Like I didn't see it with my own eyes. So I was just like, oh, that's nice. You know, it's a wooden cover field notes. I'm probably not going to use it. And I opened this up and it was like, you know, it was like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, you know? Yeah. It's like the light just hit my eyes. I was like, holy crap, this is amazing. So I wanted to say I'm a little slow on the uptake. I apologize to you for ignoring your orangisms on the last show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And this is one of the most beautiful editions I've laid my hands on now that I've actually opened it and I'm going to start using it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So that was what I was saying about like the coffee information on the inside, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You know, you'd think there'd be two people on this podcast and the other one would pay attention, wouldn't you?

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know, these things happen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Happens. You know, so who knows what I was doing at the time you were talking. But this orange dot grid, man, that's made for me. So I'm excited.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm excited.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Orange dot grid sounds like a great domain name for you. I don't know if there is a dot grid domain. Let me see if such a thing exists. That'd be great. You could get like...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, that'd be cool. That would be sold. Dot grid would be sold already if it was. But you could always do orange dot grid, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, no, it doesn't look like there is such a thing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, they need to step up. I mean, they have dot plumbing, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Exactly.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So one more quick field notes thing. And this is the big crossover field notes link. Myke, did you see this link I put in about the new Punisher? I don't know if this is a comic or graphic novel. Did you see this?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I haven't seen this.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So field notes, there's a group called It's Tactical that's always done their own stamping on their field notes and they sell them through their website. It's always been a thing. I mean, for years and years and years, It's Tactical has always done this and they're kind of well known for their logo. The field notes, It's Tactical notebook made the cover of the Punisher comic book that was released this week. Wow. It's insane. I mean, it's literally the exact, I mean, it says right there on the front cover of the Punisher, it says field notes and it's got the It's Tactical logo, which is this skull and a shield kind of a looking thing. How crazy is that?

'''Myke Hurley:''' The writer or the artist or something, probably the artist must be a Field Notes user, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Must be.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Maybe somebody sent it to them because it has a skull on it, you know? Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I mean, he probably, you know, talks with some of It's Tactical people about the, you know, weapons and gear and stuff that they use. You know, as he's writing the comic, I'm just, you know, that's pure make-believe on my part. But it's right smack in the middle of the cover. I mean, it's not even hidden. It's not like you see a corner of it. I thought that was pretty insane. That's a big deal. So I just, I mean, not really much to say about that except how cool is that?

'''Myke Hurley:''' That is awesome. That is really sweet. I love seeing things like that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So I wonder if it shows up again in the pages. I wouldn't. We'll have to see. So I put together the show notes last night and I put in all these things I want to talk about. And then I check it right before the episode today. And, you know, you've usually added things. And then I'm looking at this one entry you made. And I'm like, did I not delete this from like six months ago?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So do you have a confession to make or what's going on here? All I see is Myke's missing pin. And I'm like, I'm pretty sure we covered this already. Did we have another issue, Michael?
