Mostly outside work today. I changed the oil and rotated tires on my car, after a couple hours on the tennis court.

 

I did journal this morning before anyone else in the house was awake with my black 1924 Sheaffer Flat Top (filled with Aurora Black) and my charcoal Lamy Safari (filled with Private Reserve Tanzanite).

 

Oh yeah, I also wrote some checks this afternoon with the Lamy.

A black one.

 

With some blue ink.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of nothing at all...

Well, I recieved a few pens in the mail this weekend and a few from repair and also I work on a few:

 

Stipula Saturno Olive Woodgrain color W/1.1 Stub Nib

Aurora Optima Burgandy Red W/Broad nib (I worked on this nib for a few hours on Saturday) It was once a toothy nib now it is a smooth Juicy Broad nib!!! Patience and persistance Pays off!!

Lamy 2000 W/Broad Nib Thanks Kurt!! This is a fantastic Pen with a wonderfully smooth nib. Why did I wait so long to buy a Lamy 2000?

Visconti Copernicus Black&Blue celluloid striped W/Medium nib

Stipula Etruria Ocean Blue W/1.3 Stub Nib

 

TNS

Today it's Sailor 1911M black, fine nib filled with Noodler's HOD & Lamy Vista Safari, 1.1mm nib filled with J.Herbin Bleu Azur.

 

"Let us cross over the river and sit in the shade of the trees." Final words of General 'Stonewall' Jackson (d.1863) when killed in error by his own troops at the battle of Chancellorsville.

Any ideas on a Dixon Milemaster Ball Pen as far as a date. I have a coupon for it on a Ticonderoga pencil box, but no dates. Thanks

I took four pens with me as my son and I did our first round of out of town college visits the past few days:

 

1924 RHR Parker Duofold Jr. filled with Doctor Blue

1997 pearl & black Parker Duofold filled with a 1:1 mix of Parker Penman Sapphire/Waterman South Sea Blue

black Aurora 88 (modern piston fill model) filled with Private Reserve D. C. Supershow Blue

blue stripe Pelikan 800 filled with Visconti Blue

 

I noticed my son was doing environmental science homework this afternoon with an old style blue marbled Waterman Phileas filled with Private Reserve Spearmint (at least I think that's the green ink he has loaded in it).

Black Streamlined Parker Duofold Sr. with a fine Arrow nib. Using Parker Royal Blue ink.

 

I don't think it gets any better than that. :thumbup:

"Here was a man who had said, with his wan smile, that once he realized that he would never be a protagonist, he decided to become, instead, an intelligent spectator, for there was no point in writing without serious motivation." - Casaubon referring to Belbo, Foucault's Pendulum.

Did the crosswords in the paper with my Dollar 717i, PR Ebony Blue. Later, I'll be journaling with my Yafa Cartridge Pen, currently with Foray black cartridge, probably chasing with the green cart that came with the pen, if I write enough.

Does not always write loving messages.

Does not always foot up columns correctly.

Does not always sign big checks.
