Double Whammy!

Recommended Posts

I experienced a very expensive moment the other day.

 

I was in the parking garage getting out of my car. I was in a rush, quickly put on my white coat and my MB 149 went flying out of the breast pocket onto the concrete. It broke the end of the piston apparatus (split it in two). Dang! An expensive repair!

 

Later, I reached for my OMAS Bologna that was in the same pocket. Gone! I've been unable to locate it. No doubt, it must have flown out of my breast pocket when the 149 did.

 

Two hits at once. I'm really in a funk!

My condolescences. The Omas Bologna looks quite sturdy, may not been shattered ...

That is very very depressing! Hope the Omas turns up lodged safely in your trouser cuff or something.

Isn't sanity really a one-trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy . . . ooh hoo hoo hoo! . . . the sky's the limit!

I would be in a funk too! Very sorry to hear it. :(

I'm in one for sure. Holy Cats man. The MB is an easy fix at the MB garage; the MIA OMAS really hurts. LoJak?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
