== Listener Motivation ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' people do something that they want to do you know okay yeah fair enough fair enough now in the week since our last episode has your situation changed like aaron's like aaron was proactive and said hey you know what i need to clean these pins you know i think i will be happier or uh less less put out um from the internet people telling me to clean my pins did you change your situation at all in this

'''Myke Hurley:''' past week i didn't clean anything okay but i did make a change i created a table oh so like a

'''Brad Dowdy:''' like a wooden table yeah i made a more place to store you need to store more dirty pins on this

'''Myke Hurley:''' table very busy no i created an apple note where i've listed all of my inked fountain pens with a few exceptions which i'll get to in a bit um and refilled all of them with an ink and noted it down so now i will no longer have the issue of which ink is in which pen so when it comes to refilling them i can refill them with the correct ink that is the thing that i wanted to fix about my situation and so that is

'''Brad Dowdy:''' what i have done there was a word you failed to mention there okay i'm a little concerned okay you didn't mention that i cleaned them yeah then i filled them that's what i said i did and wrote it

'''Myke Hurley:''' down i didn't i didn't do it it was because i wouldn't have done it before so why why start why start now look brad i'm living my life you know i love you so much the change i've made to my life uh is to i just noticed one uh lami petrol has been changed at autocorrected to lady petrol and i kind of like that more nice but no i i didn't clean them no lady petrol i like that because like that wasn't the point of this like the point of this for me was i just want to know what ink i have in which pen it wasn't about oh now i'm going to change my ways and clean my pens every time i fill them okay okay so we're going to talk about this why what are you gonna you know no no no listen listen

'''Brad Dowdy:''' i like what you did here all right i like exactly what you did here but did you know there's a website that can help you with this yeah i know you prefer your little apple note deal and you know i'm going to go into the fp fpc.inc fountain pen companion yeah that could be you mike i could i could see

'''Myke Hurley:''' you using this site because it's dead simple maybe i'll tell you all right like i'm aware of this i knew we were going to talk about it today but like at the same time i was like ah i for you listen for

'''Brad Dowdy:''' you i can see this being very useful like exactly what you did and we'll share your table in the show notes this is perfect for you this is all you need right because really a lot of it is you don't have a lot of inks you have way more pens than inks and i think a lot of people are flipped around right

'''Myke Hurley:''' is that exactly like yeah and i feel like the the fpc.inc is more about like i'm an ink person but that's not what it's about for me like i just wanted to know what was going in where because i have like four orange inks right like that was the problem and so which orange ink is in which pen well i didn't know the answer to that and i preferred to know the answer to that so now i do know the answer to that you know i'm having flashbacks well look you know this is me i like what you did

'''Brad Dowdy:''' this is exactly what you needed you you did good like i i am proud of you for this like this is this is a really really good good idea um there is a few pens on here that like

'''Myke Hurley:''' so it's a few pens that are not on here because i haven't uh refilled them yet so like my canalea pens are not on here because they're all full and i don't know what ink is in them so the thing is and it's the same when there's i have a couple words question marks that's because they're not empty yet and when they're empty i'm going to clean them and then put a new ink in them okay yeah fair enough i like

'''Brad Dowdy:''' it i especially like the the twisby go is cult pens question mark well i have four cult pens

'''Myke Hurley:''' and i can't tell the difference between them but i know one of them is in there because you've you've got those cult pens inks right like the mori i find them very hard to work out which one is which you just have to look online i do i look i totally agree with that statement the the pictures online they don't match what like you know they're like throwing ink all over pages and getting the sheen in them right and i i i can't see that when i'm just used just writing with a twisby go on a page because plus i think i have there's like a couple of them where like they're both red based and it's like well how the hell am i supposed to tell the difference just like oh this one has gold sheen this one has blue sheen was it yeah but i can only get the sheen to show up the way that they show it if i'm pouring the ink on a page which i'm not doing oh boy i love this i'm proud of you really good job this is this is
