Hobby time is waning due to the new house, but one still needs to collect something!  Over the last month I picked up 3 new colors, Rohrer and Klingner VerdiGris, Diamine Red Dragon, and Montblanc Blue Green.
I haven't filled up the 61 with anything but black, and i've been off my black kick for a few months, so I thought Verdigris would be a good change.  I have been looking for a darker greener blue, and this one is a very close, but I'm still on the lookout for darker shade.

My Brother-in-law owed me a favor, and since I have wanted a goped since I first saw one in the Shred Shop on Oakton (15+ Years ago)I knew I would somehow trade him for the one he got last summer for under $50.

After a few hours of tweaking on the day of Esme's christening, we got it running again and I had my first ped ride.  Seeing how much fun it was, Rusty hesitated giving it up...especially since his motorcycle was down, and he was gonna use it to ped to work for the week.  Well...after few weeks of patience, I stopped by his house and he had it all setup for me to take home.  New spark plug, carb opening all the way, after getting a few more MPH out of it he handed it over.  

Thanks T-Bone!

INK!


These are the 5 colors I have been using since I started writing with fountain pens. I also use the discontinued Montblanc Racing Green, which I will eventually post a sample of. It's a great color thats really suits me. For a close substitute people use Noodler's Sequoia, but I find Noodlers a bit thin for my writing style.

Spusta Handbills




2 handbills rec'd with A Spusta print. I love freebies, and mini art. Note the metallic paper!

SLP's Stampy 1 body completed!



It has been months, but Stampy 1 body is complete! SLP picked the colors out about 4 months ago. It took about 6 hours to complete, cutting, taping, and decaling. 5 coats of paint, notice the smoked out windows. Only thing I'm upset about is I pulled off the front and rear bumper tape, so I couldn't paint them chrome. Next time.

Coming soon: A pictorial of all the things that I waste time with.

From hobbies, concerts, interesting links (IMO), music, art, to my family (which is not a waste!), friends, and pets.

A short list of things I may post about:
Yo-yo's
Music reviews, new releases, special finds
R/C anything and everything
Fountain Pens, ink, paper & hopefully Calligraphy
Origami
Concert/show reviews
Art
Audio related things (Headphones, components, tubes)
EDC items
Shoes/clothes/ Sunglasses

Just about anything it seems!
