I came home with two pens. Not at those prices, Brad. Yeah, I know. But still, you know, going into it, you know, you're like, Oh, I'm going to get all kinds of stuff. You know, I, I will say one, one general comment on, on the show, but, and I'll tell you about the other pen that I got. I was looking to see, you know, whether the brands would be in my price range that I might find something different that I don't already have. So I was thinking, you know, um, <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Lammy</del>, Kaweco, and, um, I was actually looking for a Twisby, which we haven't talked about on this show before, but it's a good mid-level, um, quality or entry-level quality fountain pen. I didn't lay eyes on one Kaweco or one Twisby in the entire show. Um, I would have liked to come home with something, uh, of one of those two pens that I did not have already, but I didn't even see one that I already had. I saw none period. So I thought that was kind of odd. Um, uh, I did see plenty of Lamys there though. So they were well represented. The other pen I came home with was a surprise purchase. Um, I just happened to see it. It wasn't anything on any kind of list, shopping list I had or anything like that. But, um, you know, I've talked about how I'm a big fan of, uh, the Rotring pens. They do, uh, and, and Luke, our friend Lucas, who sent me the audio file on how to pronounce Lois term, which I still probably butchered. He sent me on another audio file for Rotring and I'm not even going to come close to his pronunciation. He's really got it good. I mean, there's a, there's a lot going on in that, in that, uh, the first syllable there that I can't even handle. So I'm going to go with Rotring. It's about as good as I'm going to be able to get at Lucas. And, uh, so, but I came home with a, uh, Rotring roller ball, uh, Rotring 600 roller ball, excuse me, which is a big, sturdy, heavy black hexagonal barrel roller ball. Um, I mean, it's, it's, it's heavy duty. This is the click when you put the cap on the top. Well, hang on. No, that wasn't it.
