Good afternoon!

I'm using a pen- just arrived today - another blue Sheaffer Touchdown with a wider gold cap band with my trusty Quink Black. Another smooth writing Sheaffer!

Today I am using my favorite pens -- for the first time in a month, because I thought I lost them. They are all Pilots, two 78Gs, one black with Noodler's la Coleur Royale, the other Green with Pelikan Green, and two Crystals, one each with the same inks. When I got in my car to go to work this morning, the pen case was sitting on the back floorboard, having apparently been stuffed under the driver's seat, when I thought I had lost it in another city while perusing antique shops about a month ago. Watching after grandkids in antique shops, it was easty to get distracted, and I could not for the life of me remember what I had done with my pens, so I assumed I had set them down in a shop.

 

I am happier about pens than I have been in ages!

Great news! Glad you found them, I remember how upset you were at losing them.

Good morning all. This week I will be using my Aurora Mare with Aurora blue and an old optima red (with red ink). I will also be trying out a new Conway Stewart Clogau Gold with a great XF nib. At home I sometimes pick up the MB 146 or a Lamay 2000.

Good morning all. Today I'll be using my trusty Pelikan 400 with Levengers Cobalt, my Pelikan Grand Place with a Binder crisp italic and PR Chocolat and my Parker 45 ef with Noodlers Burgundy. Later I hope to find the time to play with some new pens I picked up at my pen club meeting last night!

Hello everybody. What a beautiful day. Cloudy and dreary skies full of the promise for rain. Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain...

 

Today I am using one of my cheap and ugly Chinese pens with a re-worked stub nib.

It is a HUASHI. Here next to a Pelikan M800. Very cheap pen, writes great.

Osmiroid 75, fitted with a newly arrived Copperplate point, loaded with Herbin Lis de The. Intra-office mail has never looked so classy.

[rroossinck]

Today, it's a Blue Kasuri VP with a fine nib, a Lamy 2000 with an XXF nib, and a Cross Solo with an XF nib. VP and 2000 loaded up with Waterman Florida Blue, and the Solo is loaded up with Mont Blanc Blue. On the pencil side, it's a Caran d'Ache FixPencil3 with 3mm 3B lead and an Ice Blue (yep, same color as the limited edition VP) Dr. Grip 0.5 shaker.

As of today, I have in my pocket a Lamy Tipo Rollerball. At work is an Esterbrook Desk Pen and a Kaweco Eyedropper Rollerball, both with Noodler's Ink. On the road is a Pelikan M150 and Caran D'Ache Metal Hex pen.

[Shangas]

Made extensive use of my Montblanc Meisterstuck 145 Chopin today. Wrote a total of 6 pages and used up about 1/3 of the ink inside said pen (The same pen having been completely refilled before use).

[jd50ae]

Wow, it rained. On half the yard for about 45 seconds.

Good morning everyone up and at em. Ummm, farm fresh eggs and toast with real butter.

 

Using another of those cheap ugly Chinese pens. Duke Shark with PR Velvet Black. Must be something wrong, feels so good and writes so smooth.

 

 

[artaddict]

Good morning everyone.

Today, and the next few days I'll stick with the Parker "51" and luxury blue. Just keeping one pen inked now since I'll be traveling soon.

May I join in your happy group? I look at this forum (nosy thing I am) but haven't really posted, not that I can remember.

 

This is my "happy group" of pens in use:

Left to right:

* Waterman Carene with hand mixed teal ink

* my daughter's Lamy Smile (she wants me to use up the purple ink in it so she can put in blue, which is acceptable for homework use)

* my daughter's abandoned Online pen with WM purple cartridge in it;

* my purple Kultur with...uh, WM purple ink in it (is there a theme here?)

* my 146 with my hand-mixed Iron Peacock ink in it. I am trying to use up the ink in the reservoir to put the pen away until I get the piston looked at...it turns stiffly, which worries me. This, after all the trouble I went to clean it out after years of disuse. <sigh>

 

Although I am tempted, rather than to get the 146 cleaned out...to just buy a new pen!

 

Looks like I have a lot of writing to do, much of it purple.
