Sadly none. One of those days in which stuff was happening all day that I didn't even get a chance to journal.

 

I did write some last evening with a marine green OS Balance to help me decide whether to keep or sell it.

 

Tonight's journal writing will likely be with a red auroloide Optima filled with Aurora Blue.

I'm going to be really, really brave today, and take my Esterbrook J (2556 nib, PR Ebony Green) and my Dollar 717i (PR Ebony Blue). I may leave them in my locker though, my job is really not FP friendly... :unsure:

Does not always write loving messages.

Does not always foot up columns correctly.

Does not always sign big checks.

I think my pelikan M215, med stub nib and perhaps my M600.

Hello, I am another Arizonian, but from the Valley of the Sun otherwise referred to as the Phoenix Area.

 

I was internet searching for information for changing nib on my Cross Townsend pen, I have a medium and am thinking of replacing it with a fine. But the only experience I have in changing fountain pen nibs comes from the Esterbrook pens which have 'screw-in' nibs. I like being able to switch from a firm fine point (Esterbrook #9555) to a general writing medium (#9668) as easily as changing inks.

 

Does anyone know if nib replacement on a Cross Townsend requires special tools, and preferably experience? or can it be done by a (less than mechanically inclined) user who values his pen greatly?

 

I think I will learn a lot about fountain pens in this forum, and look forward to reading your 'posts'.

 

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

:headsmack: Guess I should have been a bit clearer. It was today - I officiated. :rolleyes: My wonderful wife and I celebrated 13 years earlier this year. :thumbup:
