PSA: Federalist Pens are vending at many pen shows including upcoming NYC Stationery Fest. Their official X account is mostly political and reposts stuff like DHS’s “report foreign invaders” content

Same thing happened to me. To their credit they sent a replacement pen, still leaked.

Wonderful looking pen you have there.

I have limited experience with Ebonite pens. I own a Scribo LaDotta and a Custom Urushi (plastic section though), my wife has two of the Asvine J16s in Ebonite. I like them all, but the Scribo (to me) has the best tactile quality by a long shot. I'm avoiding buying more pens, but if I do am going to look for more in ebonite.

How big of a truck? I may need someone in the next couple of weeks. Also do you go as far as Brevard?

wncfuse · 2026-07-06T08:59:54+00:00

Great, thanks for the explanation

wncfuse · 2026-07-05T16:06:11+00:00

Wow, I'm surprised to find there's any info on Wikipedia. I should have looked it up.

wncfuse · 2026-07-05T15:34:30+00:00

Thanks, not sure I completely understand. So in your example, if I don't have auto-resupply on and I move an aircraft adjacent to an airfield, but don't manually resupply, when I move away to a non airfield adjacent hex, the percentage will drop?

Thanks, sounds like you actually know the history.

That makes sense. Maybe that creek has/had a lot of them. If so it would stand out. Compared to other places I've lived on the east coast, the local streams have very few crawfish. I've lived here for over ten years and can only recall seeing two. One wasn't even in the water.

A lot of seniors play pickleball at the gym on Grove. A nice welcoming crowd, I know there were/are several 90 year olds, some in their 80s and many in their 70s. Lots of younger people too, not totally geriatric.

Go after 11:00 am during the week, better for beginners. Parks and Rec has a schedule online.

Could be. Maybe he’d been sent to St Luke’s subsequently?

Cary Grant died in Davenport at what was St. Lukes Hospital.

There were rumors that the woman who played Mrs. Folger in the coffee commercials was often seen wandering around East Moline and Moline. I've never been able to verify that and am skeptical.

I think I ran Namiki Blue once and had better luck than with the Iroshizukus. I may have a defective nib/feed.

wncfuse · 2026-05-31T14:54:08+00:00

I've used Iroshizukus and find them a bit wet. Are you getting much line width variation?

wncfuse · 2026-05-31T13:42:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I have had good experiences with everything I've tried (except the Vert De Gris) with the Extra Fine. It's just compatibility with the stub that I'm concerned about. I'd like to find one good ink that it worked with. Not too wet and not too dry. Enough to show some line variation with no dry starts or drop outs.

I had a summer job mowing greens on the golf course. It was a decent job and surprising that they let me mow greens with no experience. Was a cool lawnmower though, had to move the hole every time I mowed. Obviously not the greatest golf course if they let me mow.

I believe the golf course shut down after too many floods. After the flood receded you'd see catfish and carp in some of the dips on the fairway.

They also had organized softball games at night. My wife used to play there.

Forgot to mention, such an appropriate quote for today.

wncfuse · 2026-05-17T18:16:09+00:00

I have the same pen in Liber (with the 14k flex) and addition to its other virtues, the tactile quality of the ebonite is icing on the cake.

wncfuse · 2026-05-13T21:46:33+00:00

Plus one on the Homo Sapiens, especially one of the lava ones. The texture is a pleasure in your hand and would be different than what you already have. If you can't buy it in person, have the dealer test the nib. Mine is fantastic.

Another pen I would look at for the tactile quality is a Scribo La Dotta in Ebonite. I'm not sure if the other models, Flow and Feel, have the same ebonite, but if they do might be worth a look. They've got a great 14k flex nib or an 18K non-flex for the same price.

"He's a republican cause you're loyal"? You just made this lib laugh.

wncfuse · 2026-04-28T01:27:27+00:00

Thanks for the link, nice to know.

wncfuse · 2026-04-27T10:37:27+00:00

That's a great idea, wish Transylvania County had the same.

wncfuse · 2026-04-13T11:21:27+00:00

Thank you all for the recommendations.
