Purchases from the other week

It's a known issue.   There's some good stuff in there and I don't think I have written with any of them yet except the Parker on the far right.  That one is a classic and worth eating Ramen for a week for if needed.   I hope the Esterbrook is a good one also.  Might be sending that off for a new nib.  More to follow.

Vegas Edition with star sighting.

Usually when I travel for business I keep a decent selection of pens with me so this week should still be blog worthy.  Part of the addiction I guess.  I hate to pull out the big dogs in a sales call,  but usually keep something with me that interesting.  Instead of interesting, today I have a little more of a workhorse.  It's a standard for me,  usually not too far out of reach.  The Aurora.  Made in Italy of course.  One of my few mediums,  but it is a thin medium.  They make a sweet pencil as well.  Oh,  and I just walked by Dennis Rodman in the lobby as I was going for a run. 

Rocking this little beast today

Not sure where I picked this one up.  Wing Sung 612.  Writes like a dream.  I love the cheap fountain pens as much as anyone. It usually takes a few seconds of scratching to get it flowing, but once it starts, it's something to behold.  Fine point and tasty as they come.  I remember looking up online where I bought it,  but now the details escape me.  Just put in a fresh load of Levenger Ravens black and off to work.  

It all starts here. Dead Pen

Man, I do not even use green that much, how does this happen. Well, I am starting the blog off with one that has left us. Ashes to ashes, blah, blah. Whatever. I know I should still have the matching red and blue and black out there somewhere, so your memory will live on. Unfortunatly, you started dying during a pretty important phone meeting, so I do not have a ton of love lost for you, but whatever. Dueces.
