I empathize with this all too well.
I make a good income and we're always behind.
I'm always stressed and it's affecting my marriage.
I fucking hate this.

We had shit neighbors when we lived in London. They literally built a Trump wall of garbage down the centre of our shared laneway because they didn't want us pulling out of our spot onto their side around another vehicle on our side to get into the road. They made it this huge thing. Some basement dwelling druggie even yelled at me over the whole thing.
They rented by the way.
Fucking retards.

One of the reasons why living rural is superior. Shit neighbors (if they exist at all) are a much further away problem.
At least noise isn't much of an issue.

Update!
I've revamped my Creatr profile! Although photography is still a passion of mine, my fountain pen notes seem to have struck a nerve on Nostr. I may still do some photography content here, but for now I think I can add more value to the Nostr community with my writing-oriented work.
I've made my tuers as cheap as I can. I think developing one's writing skill is important, but it shouldn't be restrictively expensive. I will develop some more detailed resources as I go, but for now I will offer some more thoughtful pen reviews, letter writing tips and pen suggestions where appropriate.
Feel free to join me in the craft of writing and collection of fountain pens as a hobby! I would love to have you along as we learn and develop our skills within the #penstr #letters #fountainpens and #artstr communities.

Turning this into a large format print.
Just waiting for it to be mounted and I should be getting it back in I believe August?
It's a bit of a wait but if the printer is right, it will look amazing. Very much worth it.
Provided this looks how I think it will, I'll be getting more of my photos done as prints.
As stated before, anyone can post photos online. Fewer will produce high quality prints with real world value.

I'm doing a test print as we speak. If it turns out well I'll be turning this image into a print as well. Only difference is I'll be selling this one.
I have so many photos I would love to turn into limited prints. I put a lot of my soul into these photos and I want to make something of real value.
Anyone can post an image online.
To make something beautiful and substantial is a different thing entirely.

The A1 is metal and comes in a smaller selection of colors and styles. The A2 is plastic and comes in more colors.

I actually would! They're a nice transition from normal capless pens to fountain pens. They give you all the benefits of a fountain pen but offer some familiarity with click pens.

Still working on my letterforms as well as some variants. I'm always looking for different ways to write various letters.
At some point I'll compile a list of the letters and the variations I've come across.
I'm also doing my best to take notes and journal as much as I can. The more I put my thoughts to paper the more coherent they get over time. I'm definitely starting to get into that writing headspace.
I picked up a few Majohn's. The A1 and the A2. They're Pilot Vanishing point knockoffs, but I've heard good things so I thought I would check them out.
Let me tell you, having a click-fountain pen is AWESOME. I love these pens! I definitely see at least one of the two becoming one of my daily carry pens, at least until I get the real vanishing point.
Highly recommend.

You're very welcome! I'm glad it brought you value!
Some things to note:
This colour is a 2021 special edition and apparently it is being discontinued so if you want this colour specifically, I would pick it up as soon as you can.
The other two colours it comes in are a blue and black, both of which are pretty slick. I like the blue a bit better than the black in this case.
I like to pair my pens with their inks in one of two ways. I either match the pen with a colour similar to the colour of the pen or I'll match it with a complimentary colour.

2024-06-07 19:12:26

https://i.nostr.build/WGROY.jpg
I received my Lamy Aion!
Now this is a nice pen. The entire thing is metal (except for the converter but that's expected) and it's got this brushed, matte finish. The nib is an extra fine that is exclusive to this pen and it writes beautifully!
https://i.nostr.build/Q7ROX.jpg
The cap snaps on nicely and posts as well. Considering there are more metal components in this pen than the Sheaffer, it is actually lighter than they are! I would say this pen is largely comparable to the Sheaffer 300 in most respects but the build quality is definitely a little better.
https://i.nostr.build/6GmPO.jpg
For smaller hands, this might not be the pen you would want as it is a little wide, though light. If you can deal with that, it's a wonderful pen and I wouldn't hesitate to swap Lamy's 14k gold nib onto it to make it a truly premium writing experience.
This pen will run you $70 USD, similar to the Sheaffer 300. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

It is actually literally degenerate.
"Given to vice" is one of the definitions of thzt word and I would argue that sex exclusively for pleasure (without the option otherwise) can be classified as a vice as it is a corrupt state of the act of sex. Sex, fundamentally, is for reproduction whether pleasure is involved or not. You can argue that pleasure is a part of the whole act, and I would agree, but when taken to the extreme where there is no option for anything but pleasure, my above argument stands.

The 830E is one of the larger commercially produced Komatsu haulers but it is pretty small compared sole larger ones. I'm certain there's a truck that could carry one and a half of this truck in its box.
