Perusing a 21 year old Christmas Catalog

Hey everybody. Here we are in the later half of the year already. Halloween and Thanksgiving will blow by us like a race horse and the Christmas season will be upon us. I loved looking at Christmas catalogs when I was a kid and so did my own kids. Even though I have some older catalogs, I chose t...

The NEW Parker 51 - Good as the old 51?

Hey everybody,

I hope this post finds you well. Some of you know that I am a fan of vintage Parker 51 fountain pens. When I learned that Parker was releasing an all-new 51, I decided to set aside a little here and there so that I could acquire one. I finally ordered one and am happy to show...

This pen!

Hey everybody,

Who says you have to spend a ton of money to enjoy fountains pens? As a fountain pen enthusiast, I appreciate the expensive fountain pens made by Montblanc, Pelican, Parker, and the rest, but, those pens can be cost prohibitive to so many people including myself. I'd love to ...

Baseball Cards and More

Hey everybody. I hope you have been well.

Huge Parker Jotter!

Here is a rain video

Hey everybody. I have mentioned before that I occasionally like to upload non-ASMR videos as a way to attract people to my channel and this is just such a video. I myself actually love rain videos, and so these are not such a bad fit for my channel. I filmed this with my iPhone and also edited it...

Maps Cars Pens and Beer?

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

He Everybody,

Still pulling from from content I already had on my computer as Mrs. R recovers from what seems to have been COVID, though testing was negative. Nine days of feeling terrible has left her weak and we are trying to build her strength. She had all the classic symptoms, even the ...

Speed Art?

Hey everybody,

My wife has been under the weather for a few days now and so my Youtube work has been relegated to finishing up some small projects that have been sitting, taking up valuable hard drive space on my laptop. My study/studio is detached from my home and so I have been hanging cl...

Well here is the last of the matchbooks

Cursive Writing With Wood Burning Tool

I purchased a wood burning tool several weeks ago and finally got around to trying it out on some popsicle sticks.

Where the heck am I?

Enjoying a few tiny die cast cars

Hey everybody,

This video was supposed to be the opening minute or two of a pen/pencil video, but I started talking about the company depicted by the car's graphics and before you know it, I had spent way too much time for an opener, so I decided to make it a stand alone video. It's not len...
