I recorded this show almost two weeks ago and hadn't had a chance to upload it... finally!  Sorry, I'm outa practice and the episode is rambly, at best.

Happy 2020!   It's been a long time since the last episode so here's a little one for you.

This episode I talk a bit about going downtown to the new Truphae store just off Main Street.  It's a really nice store with lots of fountain pens for sale.  They have everything from cheap Jinhaos up to some fancy pens I'd be scared to even touch!  The grand openning event was a lot of fun and felt a lot like a mini pen show.  Woohoo!

• Night Heron Leather on Etsy - They make and sell really nice leather products including my new 3 pen sleeve.

These are my top 5 pens as of today (or yesterday really).  They are presented in no real order but that 5th one... I dunno.  Will it last?  Probably not.  I'm already having second thoughts!

 This episode I briefly look at the new lovely Field Notes journals and especially focus on how their art is licensed from 59Parks.net.  Also, a broken pen... my wife's Visconti Rembrandt!

• National Parks notebooks (fieldnotesbrand.com)

By popular demand.. another episode!

I tried to mostly talk about Limited Edition pens (and inks).  I also talked about chickens and curio cabinets.

I like brown inks.  I at least like the idea of them.  This long overdue episode (which was recorded about 2 weeks ago) has me getting annoyed at inks in general, thanks to my brown inks.  Also, I talk a bit on the Raleigh Pen Show which was a long fun trip.  I don't want to do it again :D

Spring is here and the weather is warming up.  I decided to record on the way home.. that means no A/C and windows up... it got a bit warm in the car.

This time I talk about a few different things...

1. Currently inked (sorta)

2. Atlanta Pen Show

• Truephae Inc.

3. Broken pens

4. Brown inks

5. Ink journals

• Fountain Pen Companion

The Atlanta Pen Show is less than two weeks away.  My mind turns to what I can get rid of then.  They have a Pay it Forward table were you can leave or take stuff.  I have a few inks I just don't need or maybe don't want.  I'm planning on leaving some behind.

I've inked up all my bottles of pink ink!  Ahhhhhhh!
