Wow! I bought a box for Mrs Nihon 5-6 years ago so she'd keep her mitts off my PLPCs, but she's only smoked a couple of them. This might be the first time in history my wife has made me money!! 🤣

Completely agree! I watch almost all of Peacock's coverage of practice and qualifying last week. The weather on qual day produced some outstanding drama, better than many races do. I feel bad for Graham. I'm not sure why the last chance qualifying had a different format than the fast 12 and...

Thanks brother. I finally had time for a JohnnyO and a local bourbon this weekend while watching Indy qualifying. Might be the perfect belated birthday!

I promise that if I end up buying a bunch more pens and decide to buy a storage box, I won't make the same mistake I made with my first humidor. I recall telling my wife, "I can't image I'd ever have more than 25 cigars, so I'm sure this one will be plenty big enough!" Ha!

Awesome! I'm glad I'm not the only one who joined the Maytag cult!

Thanks guys! I have been on a business trip this week so I really haven't had time for a birthday cigar, but maybe I'll find time to rectify that this weekend.

I'm hit or miss on IMSA. I generally don't watch it live but will listen to the recordings while I'm doing other things. I haven't seen the Laguna race yet, so I'll have to be sure to watch it. The endurance aspect fascinates me.

I transitioned to all caps when I took architecture classes in college. That lasted for many years afterwards, but when I needed to take notes quickly the caps gave way to sloppy lower case. Since you started this thread I've been working to improve both of those styles of writing, and...

Well, since I've already peered over the slippery slope...how can I love just one pen/ink combo?

Mail call! I decided to order a TWSBI Eco and three sample inks. The pen is beautiful! I wasn't sure I wanted something transparent, but I can really appreciate the inner workings of this device. It helps me embrace the analog nature of the whole experience. I'm very happy with the...

Exactly!!! Welcome to the month of May!

私も待ちきれません!!　それは私の誕生日プレゼント！

I've pulled the trigger and placed an order with Goulet Pens. Standby for mail call next week...

I'd really like to see some more competition instead of another year of watching Max run away from the field. I was hopeful after qualifying that the leaderboard would get interesting this week, but it didn't turn out that way.

Of course, you'd only learn that after you drop them like a bag of wet cement into the middle of a crowd!

This is great insight, thanks! I looked up all the inks you have, and I'm rethinking the one I thought I wanted. I think a lighter blue would be better, something like Ajisai or Asa goa. I'll have to do a bit more thinking and research. It's tough, because when I look at different swatches...

So, I've dipped my toe back into the world of fountain pens. I've spent a lot of time reading up on the subject and decided to buy some disposable pens to see if wet ink works with my current writing needs. I've rediscovered joy in writing that I lost so long ago! I've also lost my...

Beef stroganoff I made in the pressure cooker with steamed asparagus. Super simple and quick for an incredible depth of flavor.

I had no idea that Loons couldn't walk. https://www.wbay.com/2023/04/22/loon-fallout-weather-causing-birds-fall-sky-wisconsin/

A rep from the local FAA office will inspect it when I'm done with construction. They are mostly looking for proof that it was built by amateurs, but there are also some regulatory items they will be inspecting. It will be certified in a category called "Experimental Amateur Built" so that's...
