How's Your Day? Archives

Well, yeah... but I've actually thought that since I was a kid.
However, as a kid growing up in a Southern Baptist household, I was told you weren't supposed to say such things. :happy102

 

I don't know if I should be shocked, or impressed...it's been 2 pages without 1 single comment about...

We have several extra holidays down here already.

I was going to mention that it had nothing to do with being spring.. but I do not EVEN get into those discussions.. we have a few Preacher types that can take care of that.

 

I am still not commenting.

 

Nope. Not gonna do it. Read my lips.

I do the Dana Carvey's George Bush Sr. impression for my 2 year old son all the time. He doesn't get it but I get a kick out of it. Ah for the days when SNL was funny...

 

really?
who?
I need to be on the lookout.....

 

Goodmorning, everyone.

Cool, what'd you get?

Oh, now I see... I've never tried one, but they look like a decent cheap pen to me and people seem to love them. They don't have the appeal of a vintage pen (for me), but I do love piston fillers. The nib/flow tweaking (I'd guess) is more of a requirement than an option, if you want it to write decently at all. $6 is pretty cheap for that, unless you know how to do it yourself. Probably a great starter pen.

Hey Cal. You're a good son. Hope you have some fun out gardening. Planting carrots? I miss helping mom with the gardens - love her up while you can, my friend.

Um... what can you say? People that do stupid s**t like that can end up dead, although they did look like they were having fun. :happy102

 

I agree, nowhere near the same appeal as a high quality vintage pen. But from my standpoint I want to find a good value pen and put it through it's paces before I decide to step up the the vintage market level. Granted FPN has been taunting my wallet with some $50-$70 pens, but I don't know enough about 'em to justify pulling the trigger.

 

Hey Dustin,

Good choice!

I started by sending out a couple heirloom pens to be restored - well, I really started out with Sheaffer school pens in grade school. The restoration turnaround was long enough that by the time they came back to me, I'd learned how to change a sac and get a pen up and running. Antique stores and ebay became familiar haunts as I slowly picked up inexpensive stuff.

It doesn't have to cost a fortune to get into vintage pens (not much more than vintage DE razors - probably less than vintage straights). Still, a pen like the Reform is a great place to begin. They have a great cool factor with the ink view barrel and the steel reform nibs are (I'd guess) smooth writers. I bought a Reform calligraphy pen years ago from Speerbob. It's of a similar vintage and it's a great pen. I think you'll be really pleased.

 

Oh, I know what it's really about.
The discussion about why it's not on a set day every year is more fun.
Just saying, for the sake of symmetry... Easter... Wester
Or maybe that's why we have Westerns but not Easterns?

 

I thought that's what martial arts movies are. Especially the ones with the really out of sinc dubbing. I suppose we just invented a new name for the genre.

 

Ahoy!

Finally got a decent lather out of my newest recipe puck last night! I think the leather fragrance oil has affected the lather building properties, but I finally got it worked out. Now if I could just figure out what to call the scent...

 

Ahoy hoy!

Yet another vintage Estie SJ arrived today. Once again I bought it more for the nib than the pen itself. It's a nice red one, but the insides are crispy. Another petrified sac.

Nib is a 9550. Not as nice the 9128 I got on Saturday, but definitely serviceable. And once again, less with the entire pen than if I tried to buy the nib alone.

 

Hey Sol,

Find by IP address... doesn't always work, guess I've got a few machines that don't seem to be creating dns entries... I'll need to check those out.

Code:

@echo off
set /p ipaddress=Enter IP Address to check? 
nbtstat -a %ipaddress%
pause

 

Hi Everybody!

Ahoy Polloi!

I've nothing else to say, just wanted to jump into the "ahoy" fracas

Be sure and share the link with your favorite social networking site!

eerie, very very eerie - as if they listened to Micah's synopsis to me the other day

 

That could be interpreted so very wrongly...

 

here's something I've been wanting to share but keep forgetting...actually what I keep forgetting to do is take a picture of it, but this will suffice -
almost every day I pass by a home where one of these rigs and trailers is parked, and it serves as a gentle reminder to come and post
