from fpgeeks Pen Posse Esterbrook Rescue Oct. 19th

New member Howard has an Esterbrook that needs some work. Thus a Pen Posse to the rescue. There will be pen repair action. Some should bring tools.

I myself have a Parker 51 that needs work, though perhaps not the same kind of work as Howard's Esterbrook. I plan to bring my 51 to the upcoming Between Travel gathering this coming Sunday. Is there some reason why Howard and I shouldn't expect pen repair to be taking place on October 12?

 

Or is it only that Howard can't make it on October 12, so that he needs a different date?

 

Granted, I am in want of nothing more than nib adjustment and possibly some abrasion, whereas an Esterbrook can be in want of several other kinds of work. I hope for some elucidation. Am I to wait until October 19? Bring 51 next Sunday but leave home any pens with lever or piston fill mechanism?

There is apparently an explanation of the dates on ButtBook. BB is a new term for FaceBook that sometimes gets abbreviated FB which is easily confused with FB which is as everyone knows short for FarmBoy whom we all know doesn't do FaceBook thus he has renamed it.

I'll tell him to bring tools to both events. I'll call him so he knows since he isn't reliable on BB where the explanation of the whole thing is apparently being discussed.

 

Complicated? Likely. We could tell them all to FO for not posting here but that could get us in trouble
