After a week of working a fireworks booth in Galt we started our own home fireworks show with the neighbors. We have our dunk bucket and emergency hose at the ready.
it was only a few minutes before the EGPD Fireworks drone was overhead checking out our setup. We were quickly dismissed as in compliance and they moved on.
Users of the Official Bullet Journal Pocket Notebook, have you found a cover for your notebook that fits well? I had hoped to use this journal cover, but found it to be too tight for easy use as the "BJP" is not a standard pocket size.
I ran across this weekly spread recently and really like the feel of it. It allows a nice separation of church and state with enough room for multiple entries per day. The Bullet Journal Pocket has enough room for 6 months of this weekly spread with enough left over pages for Notes/ToDos.
UPDATE: An updated view as the week starts to fill up.

Reposting because I screwed up.
I recently started getting back into using my journals but have moved to a 2 notebook system. A5 and Pocket.
I use the A5 as more of a long term storage to keep track of customer interactions over time. Using mostly the standard BuJo methodology. I start with 9-10 pages of Index (3 letters per page). Each customer is listed out in its associated letter (obviously) and the list of pages that I have notes on them for (they get the entire page)
A:
Alvin's Sewer: 2. 12. 22
Able Drain Cleaning: 1, 4
B:
Bravo Services: 13, 14, 15
Beetnik Breaker Services: 5
The customer page entries will look something like this.
6/24/26: Jorge called about getting the inverter replaced on their camera van and asked for the contact info of the local repair center so that he could schedule the service.
6/28/26: Jorge called to say that he had dropped th camera van off at the service center a few days ago, but had yet to hear back with an estimate of when the unit might be ready or what the cost estimate would be.
Bottom left corner is the previous customer page (2). Bottom right corner is the next customer page (22).
I've found this to be really useful because when questioned about a customer I can dispute conversations because I have documentation of all phone contacts and conversations. It's saved my bacon a number of times. It's also quick and easy to navigate.
The pocket is my EDC/Travel notebook that has my calendar spreads and Notes/ToDo pages. I implemented 2 new annotations in the key to indicate a task or information that is moved "up" into the A5 for longer term storage or planning or "down" into the pocket for more immediate action. This allows me to jump seamlessly between notebooks and keep information current in both when doing a sync/review. Plus the new Key items just feel like they round things out nicely and "complete" the key.
PAGE LINKING. allow us to circle/ highlight and link to another page. I will accept that once linked that text may no longer be editable. it may now be an object that “looks” like the original text and would need to be deleted and recreated if the link is killed, it’s literally the ONLY thing holding me down at the moment.
