[SylverReZ]

A fountain pen and some new ink!

View attachment 388696

Already had the blue one and absolutely adore it, so decided to set my eyes on the full set. Got the black and white one on the way, so just the green and white one left to track down for a decent price…

Love the inks too. They’re both shimmer inks so they kinda glitter. The orange is really sparkly, though I think the blue is dulled a bit because I had black ink in that pen before and didn’t wash the nib particularly well. Should get a bit less dark over time.

You've got very neat handwriting. Those pens too are very sparkly.

Several other accessories for the scooter, phone holder, hook to hang bags and such off of it, and a helmet which I forgot to post when I got it like 2 months ago

I like glitter

Just the green one to find now!

Definitely going to wait until next month before picking it up mind. As for the ink, I think I'm going to get a silver one for the black and white pen. Obviously not a great choice for white paper, but my main notebook is a refillable one that I have brown paper in, and I think silver would rock on that.

Some more Gundam model kits I ordered have shipped. Total coming is 9.

The ones for me are a MG Lukas's Strike E + IWSP, a MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver. Ka and a HG UC Guntank.

For my nephews I got them 2 HG UC RX-78-2, 2 HG UC RGM-79 GM, a HG UC RGM-79GS GM Command Space Use and a HG UC Gundam F91. So 3 for each.

Also my 1TB SN740 came today, so I'll be installing that later when I get home from work.

It's a good week for all my missing international mail to come in. Signed vinyl and two shirts are my main pull today, and not pictured are two gumstick batteries for my minidisc players I have been waiting on for almost 3 months.

My copy of PSO1 Ver. 2 with Dreamkey 3.0 came! Aaaand I need a new modem because the one I have doesn't support data calls but only fax datas

So a note to anyone that is/will upgrade a steam deck storage... don't use a 2.0 usb drive to install steam os. I couldn't find any of my 3.0 drives and it's taken over 40 minutes just to boot into the "click on this to install os" icon.

I still have PTSD from having to install windows 7 from a very slow USB 2 stick a decade ago. That took about 8 hours total of just waiting.

that's nothing compared to install my computer back on the 94:

Windows 95 28 HD floppy disks
Office 4.3 12 HD floppy disks
Eye of the Beholder 3 HD flopply disks
15 another games 10 HD floppy disks
Word Perfect 5.2 6 HD floppy disks
Word start pro 2 HD floppy disks
office tools 6 HD floppy disks

the most long 3 days ever.

and so on...

Huh? I wouldn't say it's sloppy, but I don't believe you've seen very neat handwriting before. I'm also not sure what "Hello jrom blue!" and "Hello jrom orange!" means.

Edit: The pens look fantastic. I just wouldn't consider it "very neat handwriting". But I'm not calling it terrible handwriting either. The "jrom" part was just for dramatic effect, as I obviously know those "j's" are supposed to be "f's". lol

But at least the chances are high you did that when it was still common, I did that when USB 3 started to become good and you could install windows 7 from DVD in about 1h to 1.5h.

I don't mind waiting on old tech for days if that's just how long it takes, but I do mind if it takes longer than is reasonable.

I could have gone to the store, buy a faster USB 3 drive, move the installation media to that drive, take a nap for 3 hours, cancel the installation, and still have it installed faster from the new drive. But sadly it was a sunday and no stores were open. But that did push me to buy a USB 3 drive and I haven't regretted it since.

For what it's worth, I don't think anybody outside of the lovely person here has ever called my handwriting neat lol. It's... Unique. But yeah these pens are lush, and feel great to write with too. I think the orange one is a fine nib and both the blue and black ones are medium, so they're a touch smoother.

on that time the CD was broadly standard but I haven't enough money so...

Oh yeah, 95 already released on CD. Though even low end drives in that era were about $100 at least, my solution would have been 25 bucks instead for something actually good.

What a weird coincidence. I just found this in a drawer today.. still sealed with CoA on the back!

I don't know why sometimes I get:

Went to a local hobby shop with my nephew and we both bought some Gundam Kits. I got for me a MG Ver.ka Victory Two Gundam and a HG Full armor Gundam 7th. My nephew saved up some money and bought a Entry Grade Strike Gundam, a Hg Victory Two Gundam and a HG Aile Strike Gundam.

Spoiler: My Kits

Spoiler: Nephews kits

Skechers sneakers for half the price i would've payed in my city (bless you Ross )

Just bought this badass scooter. The guy I got it from, I fixed his other scooter and he was super stoked I fixed it. 3 other bike shops couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, he gave he a good deal on this one. It’s a few years old (2020 Apollo Pro) but the battery is good and I know he never fast charged it. This is a 38MPH big boy scooter. It’s got dual 1000w motors with a 52v 23ah LG battery and pulls me up hills with ease. I have this limited to 15MPH (I’m too young to die).
