== Stinklin Kristoff ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' We should just call it the Stinklin. The Stinklin Kristoff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, Stinklin Kristoff. I, you know, we're going to need to, next time we have her on, we're going to have to get a report on this pen. So, hold that thought, Anna, and share that with us next time you come on.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have a ridiculous amount of field notes, too, and even want other notebooks and sketchbooks. My goal is to try and use the ones I have this year and try not to buy any more. So, I'm with you both here. Good luck, is what I say on that one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, hold that thought right there. Okay. We were going to do some Ask TPA if we had time later in the show. I have a good use for field notes right here in one of my Ask TPA letters. What, let's see who wrote this. Serena wrote this. And it was just an envelope, a pulled out one sheet of folded paper. Do you know what that one sheet of folded paper was? It was a pulled out sheet from a field notes notebook.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, she took like one, like unstapled, like the middle, pulled one sheet out, you know, so it's got the left and the right side, folded it in half like it was in the book, wrote the letter, and stuck it in an envelope. That's a fantastic idea. Just for letter writers.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's really good.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, she used sweet tooth, which is one we all want to get rid of. So, that's a good use case for your sweet tooth, Franklin. I mean, field notes. You can just, you know, unstable them, pull out a page, or have a stack of pages there, and there's your letter writing stock. So, anyway.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And number five. So, we have the number five confession from Anna Hitchell. I have more pencils and colored pencils than you could possibly imagine.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I've seen pictures, and she does. This is the truth.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Similar vein. Number six. I have too much ink. I gave away hundreds of sample vials last year, and I have acquired more this year and gave away this year. She keeps acquiring more than she's given away.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' This was a recurring theme in a lot of the response on this show. A lot of us have ink and paper problems. Like, it was funny. You know, some people had pen problems, and they were along the lines of, write more with what I have, buy less. You know, that's great. The specific ones were around ink and paper, and we all have an ink and paper problem.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And finally, I will never own a Visconti Homo Sapien. I just don't know what the big deal is. I've never liked the Visconti clip, like me, and the locking mechanism is odd. I like the lava finish on the road trains, but the Visconti, bleh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, I'm never going to say never, because, you know, if someone, if for some reason she came across a London Fog Homo Sapiens, which is, you know, if she's not into the lava Homo Sapiens, I can see that. They do some other Homo Sapiens, like London Fog. Yeah, that's hard to stay away from, but I will agree with her that while it has been on my shopping list in the past, I have kind of soured on it, just because the nibs are super wet, just like Pelicans. I know it's like super, super wet. Nibs are difficult for me, and I can always get it adjusted, but it's just like, you know, kind of want a little more from the nib.
