Another rabbit hole that I did not think would be such an impossible thing. A ring binder in A5, A6 or A7 size with the rings on the short edge so it's like a pad of paper or clipboard where you flip the pages up. Unobtainium.

Gonna have to make one. I can buy just the ring mechanism. Sheets of A sized paper all have the long edge as the same dimension of the short edge of the next larger and size and visa versa. I don't need a front cover or even a bound edge. It can be a flat panel with the ring mechanism which is something I also thought I could buy. I guess phones have negated the need for a lot of things.

An A7 mechanism used with the short edge of A6 card stock, printed, laminated and holes punched will give me what I want. Cheat sheets and check lists for the CNC machines and other programs and procedures at work. Tabs to group them is easy enough. Glue a magnet to it and stick it right on a machine.

Only thing bound on the short edge is 4x6 photo albums but they're all so pretty.

Ok not the best pic but hopefully someone can tell me what these little bugs are. About the size of a gnat.

Looking at pics of flea beetles and some are this color. They're on the squash and celery leaves but don't seem to be eating them or at least I'm not seeing any damage yet.

Gonna have to go back out and look harder for damage, see if I can get a better picture and also check the squash flowers and see if I can find any females. I've had a ton of flowers for a couple of weeks but no signs of fruit. Just read that plants have both male and female flowers but males come out first so that's probably the case.

10x for the pics was a bit much. Just put the camera on macro to see if that helps. Couldn't find the option when I was out there but it's a new phone and I'm still learning it.
