Was in a meeting making mark ups to a proof on my iPad using the Apple Pencil. A coworkers says Man, those look handy, but I can't justify spending $150 on basically a pen. It must be the most expensive pen anyone has ever bought, ever. I looked at my pen case and said Uh, yeah....2yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
This should last me a couple months. Sailor, if you’re listening: can I please get this ink in a larger bottle?3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
The Fleet more or less. A few stragglers not pictured. After moving a few weeks ago I finally got around to unpacking and organizing my collection. They're all safe in their storage spaces now, but I wanted to share a group shot.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Left my notebook and a pen on my desk when I left the room. Came back to a note from my 5 year old.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Not much of a hot sauce aficionado, but this has been my go- to for years. Such a delicious flavour. I’m wondering how all you got sauce fans rank El Yucateco.2yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/hotsauce

NPD! For my daughter. But she’s way to young to post, so I’ll do it for her. This is part of her Valentines Day gift.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Since I don’t own any trees large enough to cut down, I have to buy my wood. This farm is 10 minutes from my house and has an infinite supply of seasoned hardwood. Maple, cherry, oak. Hickory, and beech.5mo ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/smoking

I got vaccinated yesterday. I mean any excuse for a new pen... right?3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
I’d like to thank Grasso and a well-placed bet for this upgrade from my basic Kettle.1yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/grilling
I always look for a soft surface to rest my in use pens on to avoid scratches.2yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Did I do it right? Honestly the tone match is much more convincing in person.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens

Though not legitimately an EDC these days with hybrid work, my office carry. The only thing missing is my small Swiss Army classic, because, well, it’s gone missing again.2yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/EDC
As much as I can’t see this ink ever being unseated as my favourite, your pen needs to be a damn contortionist to pull up any ink after the bottle is half empty.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
I've inked up the odd alternative over the last few months, but for most of this year I've been using just my 8 year old Vanishing Point with only Pilot Blue Black carts. Turns out it's about all I need! Though I do have Iro Shin Kai carts en route for it. Why do I have dozens of pens again?1yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
So primarily I'm a fountain pen user but bear with me and don't exile me to r/pens for this post. Usually I've got one of these on me as a back up. What do you guys carry in the side car?3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
NPD- found this little guy for a decent price on eBay. I already had a Custom 74 in back and gold, but think this demo with rhodium trim looks much better.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Slowly winnowing the collection down to what will fit in one drawer. At least a half dozen of these will also eventually be on the market. Just making some final decisions.1yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens

When a bag of JD is $43 CAD, it’s time to start rolling the dice on quality. Hopefully this cheaper-than-Royal Oak alternative gets the job done.2mo ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/grilling
NPD! Thanks to a forum member who decided to part with this beauty, I’ll be putting this Collier away for my daughter. But not before I give it a good test drive!3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Currently inked. Occasionally I get a little carried away. About to clean these out and get back to 2-3. A much more manageable number for me.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Welcome back to my top 5- pen hygiene is important folks. After refilling the same ink into this pen for a full year without properly cleaning it, it was hard starting and drying out every time I used it. A long over due flush, and it's working perfectly once again.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Golden Beryl stain on the feed of my daughter's pen. She stopped using it and I waited several months before cleaning.1yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Forgot this pen has a friction fit nib and feed rather than a screw type. Inadvertently disassembled this guy more than I planned. But it’s squeaky clean now! So much old ink trapped in there.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
Damnit Royal Oak. I had zero issues with the odd rock. But a full bag of gravel? I’m had two Weber Starter cubes and 4 bundles of paper under this chimney and this is bag of disappointment is still too dense to light.9mo ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/grilling
F’n comically small Sailor ink bottles... well maybe it’s not that funny.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens

Smoked stuffed pork tenderloin for dinner tonight. A+ for flavour, B- for cook. I overshot my temp and it was just a tad dry. I’ll definitely try this again.5mo ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/BBQ
Enamel finish on my kettle cracking and flaking from the spot where I always bank my lump charcoal.2wk ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/grilling
Haven’t used this little guy in 4 or 5 years. It’s cracked, stained and I don’t think it’s one of Sailor’s best offerings. But the nib still feels like quality.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
What pen did you use to write your Christmas cards this year? I used Diamine Blue Velvet in my MB 149. I debated using Irish Green in the spirit of Christmas, but blue just seemed happier.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
NID! Adding more bottles to my back stock of Yonaga, and a few samples- mostly red. I need to replace Oxblood as my go to red. I thought I ordered a sample of Midnight Hour rather than a full bottle and just never really looked at the checkout summary. Hope I like it.3yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/fountainpens
I’ve been using Leuchtturm1917 notebooks for the last half decade or more but they seem to have down graded their paper quality. My ink bleeds through no matter which pen or ink I use now. Did I get a bad issue? Or is those new normal based on your experiences?2yr ⋅ brentemon ⋅ r/stationery
