I got one of the Fisher Q-4 Multi-Action Space Pens which will replace my every-day carry separate pen and pencil. It has the Fisher waterproof black and red ink, an 0.7 mm mechanical pencil (which I like since I seem to break 0.5 mm lead too easily), and a stylus (which I use pretty often, actually). I have written about a full page worth so far, and I like it quite a bit. Now I just need some waterproof paper to compliment it.

I also got approximately 20 of the 4-foot “snow poles” (retroreflective driveway marker poles) for our 80-foot driveway. After all, getting home safe and sound usually requires being able to find the driveway. The snowthrower doesn’t like being driven into the yard much, either.
