== Pelican M205 Duo ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Something I've wanted for a very, very, very long time. The Pelican M205 Duo ink. The highlighter ink.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, cool. That's nice.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, the green highlighter ink.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I bought something that I think is going to surprise you. Ooh. I bought the J. Hermann Stormy Gray. Oh, look at you. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That totally surprises me. Wow. Wow. What's your thinking behind that?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, people love it so much. And when we were at the pen show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Aside from the fact that they fixed the formulation.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is what I was going to say to you. People love it so much. And you and Anna both told me, and I trust you both, that apparently they fixed the formula and it doesn't kill pens anymore. So I'm going to give it a go. Yeah. Nice. I'm already eyedropped. What's the worst that can happen?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. I mean, it's really cool. I mean, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that ink as long as you can clean it out good. And, um, I think G. Herbon has made, uh, strides in making that, uh, they, they definitely heard the feedback it seems and have made changes to make it easier. And the word on the street is that it's a legitimately good change. So yeah, I, I, I'm anxious to, uh, I want to get a review of that, uh, on the show by you once you get time to play with it. I'm really anxious to hear what you think.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And honestly, I think you will enjoy it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm excited. I'm excited about it. So for anyone that doesn't know, this is the gray with like the little gold flex in it. Right. Yeah. So, uh, I mean, I seen it, I seen some people use it now and it's like, Hmm. Yeah. Okay. Maybe, maybe I'm just going to give it a go.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So the sailor converter that I told you I was buying for you last week, I can just keep it when it gets here. You're good with that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, yeah. Okay. Whatever.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I had that on my list. Uh, I buy you micro mesh and sailor, uh, converter. Yeah. I'm just sure the chat room will back me up on that, but, uh, so wait, did you buy me

'''Myke Hurley:''' a sailor converter? Yeah. Oh, I thought you said that you weren't going to, well, I could still, it doesn't matter.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'll still take it. Yeah. If you want it, I'll send it to you. If I got to send you the micro mesh anyway, so I'll just send it to you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' If you haven't sent me stuff yet, you can send me some relay stickers as well. Cause. Okay. I don't, I need some, I need like Mac power user sticker and then I need a bunch of other stickers. So we should talk about that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. I'll work on that. And, um, you know, when I was buying your accessories, I also, uh, threw in a bottle of ink on my order. I did the exact same thing you did. It's like, well, I need these ticky tack little things and Oh, look pretty ink. And, um, I didn't get the Mont Blanc toffee Brown ink at the pen show. I heard you mentioned that actually. Yeah. Cause I was really wanting it and I need some more, um, non blue black inks that I enjoy. And everyone seems to love the Mont Blanc toffee Brown and it's really different from anything I have. So I have a bottle of that, uh, on order. So, uh, we will do some ink reviews soon of these new inks that we got because they're both kind of a stretch for what we both use on a daily basis.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So with the converter that you buy me, I'm going to have to buy another sailor or this can be the converter that I use after stormy gray destroys everything. Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So do you have a, do you have a plan for the stormy gray? Do you have a pen picked out already? It's an important choice for that ink.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I don't. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have any suggestions?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No. Whiter the nib, the better, which that's not a problem for you. You usually go with medium or, or wider. So yeah, you're good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Maybe I'll put it in the, the, the custom made Edison.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, nice. Yeah. That would be good. Do you know what?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I feel like that would go pretty well together.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That would go well together. So it's got that gray, that gray color.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So we have, we have a lot more to get to today. I planned a whole show and, uh, on, uh, a certain topic. Um, and we hadn't even started yet. You ready to dig into that? You bet I am. All right. So I've been asked more than once to do a deeper dive into drum roll, please. Mechanical pencils.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Wait, wait, say that again. Say that again.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Drum roll, please.
