@@MissMarilynDarling Thank you. Agreed on the non-need for them 50 pens later 😊 BUT I feel the flow is reduced on the Neponset and Ahab with them in as many of them are too wet with the thicker flow. The Ahabs go bad on their own as the converter will strip to the section even with silicone or the replacement 307 one. They seem secure with these fixes but they leak and can twist right off.

For some reason I cannot watch live streams on YT currently. They get interrupted after a few seconds. It's very weird, because it's the same no matter which computer I use, no matter which network I use, no matter which internet provider I use, no matter what VPN setting or not VPN I use. It seems to be KZbin's fault, and yet I don't see others be that affected? Anyway, trust that I watch them afterwards at least. TY MMD (one thing that is the same, is my login to KZbin and Google. They must have done this personal against me? )

One thing I've learned from youtube is that if you have difficulty on one device try another the other is turn everything off and turn it back on again , then if that doesnt work try refreshing the page sometimes that helps do you have any ad blocking software installed sometimes ad blocking software refuses youtube to let you watch the video if you have it enabled ; / thank you for watching after though ... I would try watching from a phone sometimes that helps

@@MissMarilynDarling TY, well as I said, I've already tried alternative everything. And this has lasted days. I couldn't watch your stream today either. But I have a plan: There is only one thing constant, and that's my logged in identity on Google/KZbin. So it's got to be something personal against me from Google. Because it is Google/YT, not anything on my side, and if it wasn't personal, then everybody would experience it. My plan is to contact an expert, and see if there is some setting in my Google/YT account that could be involved. I haven't changed anything, but YT may have, in some upgrade.

Cool selection of pens and inks! Definitely more variety than what I'm using.😁 Here in Shrek country, Michigan (sand knoll in the middle of a swamp, lots of wild onions and a donkey. So what would you call it?😂 Well, half a donkey. An ancient pony mule. 😁) its first off a gray Parker 21 with a fine nib and Waterman Mysterious Blue. Second is a gray Esterbrook J with a 2668 (and very well worn) firm medium nib and Waterman Serenity Blue. Two blues because I want something not black for filling out applications for a handicapped accessible apartment and the multitude of doctor's forms I have to fill out. Thirdly is another Esterbrook J, this in green, with a 2442 stub nib and KWZ Pine Green. Fourthly is ANOTHER Esterbrook, a red SJ with another 2668 (less worn) and early 1950s Sheaffer's Skrip Permanent Red (with RC-35!😂) Fifthly is a 1920s black Sheaffer's with a Sheaffer's 3 nib in probably fine and KWZ Cappuccino. Lastly for now, 1970s Platinum pocket pen, fine, and Platinum Carbon Black. This is changing soon. I've been using Carbon Black for quite some time now, and it's time to clean the pen. So, I know what ink, still deciding which pen. Noodler's Heart of Darkness, either in a black Esterbrook J with a 2550 extra fine posting nib (posting as in accounting, not the Japanese for mail. This 2550 is the best extra fine I've ever used. Not any scratchiness) or a Noodler's Ahab I just bought on eBay ($9. Would YOU have passed it up?)

Looks brown to me, too. I make black walnut ink, and it's close to that color most of the time. The Gentleman Stationer, Joe, Crace, said he was looking for a red-black ink, but this is not it. I suggested he try Diamine Writer's Blood instead. The pen is gorgeous! From FPR? I just got a pen from Kevin for a little girl I met at a wedding in September, which I told you about. Had it engraved with her name, and sent several bottles of ink, too. Pretty classy.

I kinda like the color. And well, in terms of color physics, "brown" is an umbrella label for a lot of colors with a hue varying over yellow, orange to red, medium to low value, and low saturation, i.e. having black content. So a black red would for most people be "brown" or "a brown". yes.
