That notebook looking thing is from Renaissance Art. It is called a folder holder.
I had them customize it with a big medieval strap. Listen guys. I am not affiliated with RA, but their leather is better than any I have ever used. Go check them out. http://renaissance-art.com/ Great people!

I only have two 149's. One for each hand.
I have room for two more. One for each foot.

If you use a pen in either hand and it's called being ambidextrous then what is it called when you use your feet??? LOL!!!

But writing with a fine FP with your FEET would be gross IMO! Please provide a writing sample for the "rest" of us! Uhhh Huhh!
