== Pen Repair ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' These are the lessons that we all learn. Like, we've all broke pens that we didn't want to break. Expensive pens as we're, like, moving through this. I mean, and I still drop pens, right? Like, it happens. Yeah, sure. But there are things that you can do to mitigate it. And it's a learning process.

'''Adina Hurley:''' Yes. And all of this pain and frustration that I can't use my beautiful pain, well, it has led to positive outcomes that I'm actually using and liking my sailor. It motivated me to do something about it. But also, it makes me... Now, every day, I secure every one of them back into the pen case. I zip it up. So, at least there's that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, definitely become one of us with that. Like, there's no middle ground, like, with protecting the pens. It's either you don't care, like you used to be. You just, like, throw them in a bag or a purse or chuck them on the desk. Or you, like, super protect them and, like, know where they're at at all times. And, you know, you still drop them from time to time. But the accidents are a lot less. So, that's super easily fixable. I think so. I wouldn't sweat that one too much.

'''Adina Hurley:''' I didn't think it was... It needed to be sent off the platinum. I think it's an easy fix with that one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. Totally.

'''Adina Hurley:''' Nothing looked bent or broken.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, no, no. You really just need to, you know, clean it out, remove the nib in the feed, and then reseat the whole thing, and it should be good to go. But you may not be comfortable. Exactly. You may not be comfortable doing that, and, like, that's something that, you know, I could do or a bunch of people could do for you. Great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, I could... I have no problem doing that. I had to do it to my 3776, so I can try that out for you and see if that... That's what I would do. That's probably a good first step, right? But, yeah, I can do that.

'''Adina Hurley:''' Yeah, we'll try that next. Because I really love that pen. I still love platinum, my platinum more than my sailor. But I also love my sailor.

'''Myke Hurley:''' After this, I still love platinum. It wasn't platinum's fault. It was your fault. Yeah, I love them. I get it. It was. I get it. Is there anything else that you've been coming across recently?

'''Adina Hurley:''' I think it was this experience with Tweezbee Eco that was a bit unexpected. Because it was paired with green ink, I picked it up to use it on writing greeting cards. And I was really surprised that after writing with more expensive pens in the past months, that I still had that feeling that, oh, man, this is actually a great pen. And I don't mind writing with it. And I picked it up for a few days again to write in my journal. And I was really surprised about that. And I think it's great that a pen with such an accessible price can still compare and provide a good experience next to others.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I completely fawn over that pen. I just can't stop talking about that pen. And people probably want me to shut up about it. But your commentary on it is validating every thought I've ever had about it and repeated about it. So thank you.

'''Adina Hurley:''' Yeah, no worries. But yeah, I think that's about it in terms of pens that I have tried. Yeah.
