My '77 Long Murex has returned from Pilot USA! I couldn't be happier. They not only repaired the small issue with the cap, a very careful restoration was done to the pen, with a conservative polish on worn areas. It doesn't look new, and shouldn't, being a 40 year old used pen, but it looks fantastic, and writes amazingly well. I hadn't noticed that the nib was slightly bent, previously, but it writes like a dream, now. I couldn't ask for a better writing and feeling Japanese fine nib.

I'll have to pick it up.

Weird that this is the best version I own. I played West Side Story so often in youth orchestra that my molars vibrate when I hear it (in a good way, since it's amazing). Bernstein didn't allow people to sing out "Mam-bo!"

I love you Steve. It's been a while since I saw you, but I wanted to remind you.

Happy birthday, Nate!

There was a guy on Rolex Forums whose dad had a similar bakelite GMT. Dropped it while taking it off to go through security at the airport, and broke the bezel. Poor bugger. He'd been wearing it continuously since 1961, other than having it serviced (it must not have gone to Rolex!).

Very nice!

Happy birthday, Craig!

I actually had no idea that he had had polio, and had a partially disabled right hand. I feel stupid for not having known that, but it certainly says something about his abilities. He'll be missed.

It's Wednesday.

He was making a viagra joke.

If anybody knows how to spell "knives," it's Jacob. Surely it's a coincidence than the "F" key and the "V" key are so close together on a QWERTY keyboard. Jacob also knifes Dusty out of frustration over his typo-pointing-outed-ness.

Well, goats still exist, as do knifes.

I enjoy the fact that the double-bass is as related to the viola da gamba than it is to the violin.

Damn, that is some cast! I hadn't heard of it. Downloading now.

Me too.

You've been to Head-Case before, right? I'm glad the windshield worked out!

That one did the shooting, this one got shot.

The best I can do is a shoebox full of sauerkraut. Deal?

Oh shit, I don't have that. Good? Well, I mean, it's Tyner, but you know what I mean.

What a talent. What a musician. What a waste.

I was listening to Hejira, earlier. Pastorius was amazing.

They are cool looking, though. That means 5 extra horsepower.
