What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Taki]

Good morning, JD, Pep, Don, and everyone. It's 71F already and another hot day. 40% chance of thunderstorms, and we really need rain.

 

Sorry this is getting so boring but my Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini F nib, filled with PR Troical Blue again.

Good morning Taki, JD, Pep, Ali, and everyone else. Like Taki's neck of the woods, it's in the low 70Fs now, but today will see some heat. Depending on who you believe, we should be pushing 95F. I just got back from a run, and the humidity's killer!

 

I'm off work today to take my Mom for an outpatient procedure. I'll spend the better part of my day with a green-stripe Pelikan 400NN with Aurora Black. It used to have Waterman Florida Blue in it, but the flow was not so good. Aurora Black seems to have fixed the problem.

 

The other pen I have in my case is a Parker "51" cedar blue vacumatic with Sailor Jentle blue. I swapped in a "new" nib since the old one was a little scratchy. This seems to have improved things somewhat. Excellent!

Hello and good morning to the growing list of loggers.

To Taki and Pep who have added me to their friends list and are obviously intelligent and talented, a wink and a nod. I may wink and nod?

Going into the 100s today and no rain. The fur balls have all found a shady place and don't move near as much as usual, unless they hear "cookies".

Today I am using my favorite pens, all M800s.

Good morning Taki, JD, Don and all!

 

Don't know what the temps will be here but the sun is shining.

Currently hermetically sealed in a centralized air environment.

 

Today I'll use the Sheaffer Feathertouch with Luxury Blue, and the Sapporo with Brown-Black mix.

Dang. I'd love to get my hands on the Visconti and the Pharaoh!

 

At the minute I'm carrying a Lamy vista with Lamy Black and my raw Dani' Takumi with PR Tanzanite, both filled by carts for a change.

Yesterday, today and until I buy a new FP, my Sheaffer Prelude

Goodsmorning, everyone! Getting hard to keep track of all the people

 

In addition to my usual Sailor I am going to use Pel 250 clear demo filled with 50:50 mix of Apache Sunset and Whiteness of Whale. Now I have to think up an excuse why I need a black light.

[jd50ae]

I agree with Taki. Good morning to all you guys, you know who you are. You know who you are don't you Pep?

75F, 81% humidity and climbing. Welcome to August and damn I wish it was winter.

Pens for today. M800 and VP because I get to fill out a bunch of forms and some must be in blue and some must be in black.

And they all go to the same agency.

 

[corten]

Today - 'Usual' set (from a 2 months time) - Waterman Expert II - Urban Brown and Matt Black, both with F nibs and filled with WM Florida Blue and WM Black inks

In a briefcase Lamy Studio and Pelikan Pura are waiting for their chance.. and also they are waiting for 3rd one colleague to my new 3-pen case - Lamy 2000 (just has been ordered!)

Good morning, everyone. Back from three days of jury duty. Looking forward to spending more time with my pens and less listening to lies. Today I'm using my Pilot 823, m nib, with Aurora Black and my Dani Trio Ban-ei with Diamine Prussian Blue for manuscript work and my DaniTrio Miwaku, soft m nib, with Herbin Lie de The and my new Bexley Poseidon Tortoise, f nib, with Caran D'Ache Grand Canyon for letters.

 

It is heading for the nineties in Boston. Yesterday it hit 93. Tomorrow we head to Ogunquit, Maine along the Atlantic where it is supposed to be a few degrees cooler.

Casual Friday calls for more casual pens.

Good morning Taki, JD, Don & everybody!

 

Yes, JD, I think I know who I am.

 

Still using the Feathertouch with Lux Blue for postcards.

[jonro]

Today, I'm using my Parker 51 (reconditioned and nib modified by Deb Kinney, filled with Waternman Blue.

[djahughes]

My Van Gogh Maxi Crystal.

 

I haven't used it for ages and had forgotten just how lovely it was!

 

Just filled with Caran D'Ache Storm as I can't remember what that is like either...!

I don't post on this thread often because I tend to use the same pen(s) all the time. I just get stuck on them. But last week I got my Namiki Falcon back from Richard Binder. The medium had become too big for my shrinking hand, so I had him grind it to a .5mm cursive italic. Really wonderful. And that's what I've been using...

Work work work work. FPN, dishes, FPN, puppies, FPN, clean my PC room, FPN.

Got a late start today because there is so much to do. Had to stop, hit over 100F.

Hello every body, hope your day has gone well.

Am going to pen a letter or two with my Xezo Airman with nib by me.
