Good morning JD and everyone, slept in this morning since it's my day off today. Looks like it's going to rain here, too.

I think I ink up my Sheaffer Skripsert Black Barrel with Silver Cap with DWL green ink. The pen cap has an interesting engraving...It used to belong to Ann who joined " Moe's 1000 Bushel Club" biggrin.gif

Going to go through my pens and change rotation...need more Springy pens and ink. Can't believe daylight savings start this weekend!

Well, if you have the insides all you need to do is order the body and hood from Ariel Kullock.... I bought mine at the Columbus Show from their table...
They have all kinds of different bodies.... my next will be a DJ Vac set up...
But I will wait until I see Jesy at the DC Show...
They are generally at all the big shows... if you are going to Boston, I would expect Jesy to be there will all kinds of goodies...

Morning, JD! Enjoying my coffee. It's still too dark see what it's like outside.

I probably won't be doing much writing today-will be a lot of driving. 61 w/Troprical Blue for journal.
JRodriguez
Using a couple of new pens I found in Varanasi - a Sheaffer calligraphy pen and a Parker Big Red Duofold in so so condition. I found a shop here with some excellent vintage pens; if anyone is ever coming this way, shoot me an email and I'll give you the info on the store location.

Good morning Taki and everyone else who is up.

Late morning, playing with a new software on my Palm then it crashed dry.gif

Don't know yet which pen to use, probably VP with F nib, my 61, thinking about getting a dip pen to do some ink tests.

Just saw that Parker 51, I think I'm in love, I know it's rude to ask but what sort of price is the body kit and are they likely to ship to the UK?
Taki
God morning,JD and everyone!

Back to work. I think I go with Silver VP with LL and decimo with pinkly again. Want to swap out all the brown and dark color ink to some springy ink but kinda busy.
jd50ae
Good morning Taki. Seem to sleep a little later then I use to.

M800 and my SHEAFFER.
Taki
Good morning, JD and everyone. I don't see the point of this new daylight savings time. Maybe they should just make this a permanent change rather than going back to the regular time just for 3 months out of a year mad.gif

Silver VP filled with a mix of 50% Noodler's Blue, 50% Swishmix Glacier Blue
Sheaffer Balance Ebonized Pearl filled with Lively Green

Turned in the book at midnight last night (85,000 words in 6 weeks...I never want to do that again). FPN kept me sane in the wee hours when I'd log in on writing breaks...

Today, picked up my new Pelikan Grand Place and filled it with Pelikan Brilliant Brown...that's the pen I'm using today and enjoying every moment... biggrin.gif

Today I find two Sheaffer PFMs in my pocket. One is a III with a stub and the other is a II with a full medium. Perfect pens in every way.

Good morning, JD and if anyone is up early on Saturday. Have a bad cold and feeling icky. Snowing. I thought we just got rid of the white stuff!!

JD, glad you got a new stash of coffee smile.gif

Not sure what pen yet, but probably the same ones. If I feel good enough I might try out new dip pens.
rroossinck
I'm up!

Planning on carrying my new Lamy 2000 today!

Congrats on your new 2000, Ryan! what nibg size, and what ink smile.gif

Is it snowing in WDM?
rroossinck
Yep...snow in WDM. I was toying with the idea of heading downtown to Court Avenue for Kegs & Eggs this morning for St. Patrick's Day, but with this weather...nah, I'll pass.

The 2000 is an F, and the inaugural fill was with (surprise surprise) Pelikan Royal Blue. I'm thinking, though, that as this pen lays down a big fat line, if I put some heavier stuff in it, it might thin out the line a little and even up the performance. Holy cow, what a smooth nib, though!
