'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh my God, London Fog is so expensive.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah. It's like $800.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Nah. Yeah. Well, that's what I'm looking at your review, and it says $995, but I guess you can get it cheaper now. Yeah. This is Susan's review, I should say.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah. So only like $600 or $700. Oh, it's nothing. No big.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'll get one. I'll get four. Nope. And these are honors resolutions, and you can guess where these are going. Unload some ink and maybe some pens. Use up some notebooks and sketchbooks, and spread more pen, pencil, ink, and paper love.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. We can all do better spread the love. We do it a lot. We have a wonderful community that really spreads it, and I can do a better job at that, too.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No doubt.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Positivity, man. That's where it's at.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So thank you, Anna, for sharing your confessions with us, making me feel better, and for commiserating with us all with your resolutions.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm.

You want to log in and see them, but there was one that really caught my eye, which was the, uh... Well, it's funny. What's happening over there?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm trying to order this before I say what it is.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay, you carry on going, because I'll talk about what is, what I like the look of, which is the Diamine Shimmering Fountain Pen Inks.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, so I have, there's a new batch of them. I didn't review any of the other ones, but I know Susan did, and I think Jeff did for the blog. There's a new one, Myke, called, I want to say Enchanted Ocean, that I am actually intrigued by. I got a Christmas letter with that ink. I've seen samples of that ink. It just looks kind of fantastic. So, um, that's one on my radar, and there's a bunch of new colors.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, the one that the Pen Chalet is offering is one that intrigues me greatly is Caramel Sparkle.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah, I think that was one that I really like that color of, too.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I recommend picking that up, because you can get it after the sale price and the coupon for $12.60. So, if you're just looking to see what these inks look like, this is a great way to try it for a bargain price. And there's a bunch of other things on there. What were you running to order?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, I didn't know Sailor made pen cases. Not only do they make pen cases, they make orange pen cases.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you think he just did this for me and you? I'm thinking he might have done.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm guessing that he did. And I, like, I didn't even know this was a thing that existed. So, I'm pretty jacked on it, and I'm totally ordering it, literally as we speak on this. And, yeah, so, it's like, I'm just gonna do it. Like, that was very cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is a $140 pen case, which you can get for $56.70. He also has field notes on discount, the current field notes on discount. He always does that. Which is incredible. And just so much more great stuff. So, you want to go and check all of that stuff out at penshalet.com. Thank you so much to Penshalet for their support of this show on RelayFM. I don't know how Ron does it, but I love that he does.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't either. I don't either. So, I may have just ordered this twice on accident. We'll see.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay, great. If you have, then I'll take the other one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay, or I'll give it away. To me. We'll see.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't need a giveaway. There's nothing you can do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right, so let me see what else is on here. Okay, all right. We can move on. I think I ordered it. I, honest to God, don't know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Great.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I either ordered zero or two.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But if I come up with one, it'll be happy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' See, this is the thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It is so dangerous to order whilst we're recording. Like, when I was ordering that nib, I honestly have no idea if I ordered it even to my own house. I don't know where it is. Because you're trying to concentrate, but there's things you just know you gotta buy them. So, this is the thing to do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, we're kind of doing our job here, doing this podcast. Slacking off. And we're both just made purchases. Wow.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're awful. We are awful people, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, you know, this is how it goes, right? You know, the people, they say to us that we cost them so much money, but we do it to ourselves as well.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. All right. Let's see how many cases I work. I have to look before. You gotta check. Let's see.
