	'''Speaker 01:''' yeah. It came from the Penatic 100 so, you know, each tray holds 20 so we just did 20, 40, 60, then up to 69 and I pulled out a pin and it was a Franklin Kristoff Italian Ice Model 20 which is a pin that I love. And the reason I'm rambling on about this is because the whole concept is how do we break from our ruts of using the same thing all the time and as someone who has endless opportunities at their fingertips to make changes in their daily writing, I'm still a creature of habit and I like what I like, you know, I like a certain output on the page and how I get there oftentimes results in me picking the same pin with the same nib, with the same ink and using it on the same paper. So, I'm just putting this out there as one way to kind of get a little bit of randomization in your ~~stationary~~ usage. So, this caused me to use a pin that I love but I haven't inked up in ages and then even if I can decide on a pin I will sit there and stare at I don't know the 150 bottles of ink that I have which is you know what I like just the tractor beams pulling me into the pilot of Roshizuku Shinkai you know what because it's freaking great and it's like my favorite ink of all time it's like well I've got this pen now and I'm just going to ink it up with an ink I know good and well how it looks and how it writes I was like yeah that's comfortable and that's easy to do but I really think the effort to be made to randomize these things just makes makes it so much more enjoyable to use our stuff and you know I'm like I said I'm as guilty as anybody in getting in these ruts and picking the same products so it was great to have this little bit of mixture and you know you could use any type of randomization like if you keep your pins in a spreadsheet you know you can pick a random number or if you use something like fountain pen companion you can do it randomly if you don't have any of these things and you own five pins I mean you could do a little blind draw you know just close your eyes and grab a pen and then find your inks and just grab an ink and put them together and use them and figure it out and maybe it's terrible but that's part of the fun right like we ended up with a J. Herban Shogun Shimmer ink in this pen and it's just one of my favorite inks and one of my favorite pens and not in a million years would I've chosen those to be put together which is a weird thing to say but I think people that listen to the show completely understand that right like we're used to like if I have this Italian eyes it's a fully transparent pen I'm probably going to pick something bright and colorful to use because it's going to make the pen look cool but you know what this ink is so amazing and it just works well with this pen and it's great and this is something I enjoyed a lot so I just wanted to give it a shout out and the whole process for doing this and I really need to do more of this because a lot of times I do what I'm supposed to do or what I'm comfortable with doing and there's no downside to doing this right the downside is well maybe I have to clean the pen a little bit earlier than I planned on because it didn't really work for me oh well like that is if that's the only downside I need to experiment more so I think this is a good kicking off point for people to think about their own experimentation with ~~stationary~~ especially with ~~stationary~~ they own already right that's the kicker here is use the stuff you have and figure ! out a way		'''Speaker 01:''' yeah.
