Well, I don't know what you traded but I doubt if it were any better than this gorgeous Waterman's 52 1/2. I hope to see more of this pen in PiU. The nib performance is superb. The feed is also amazing as the ink just flows and flows. Take care with that clip. You don't want to break it.

Lea and I really enjoyed this 2-parter weekend in Bowman. I actually watched several parts of it more than once. You have a great style of walking commentary and know when not to talk. A fav part of the first video was the garden in the park, what a cool idea, and the mural went well with it also. I guess it was special for us because we spent so much of our early years in similar small towns, most of the years raising our three daughters up until High School when we found ourselves in a city suburb. Closing the Main Street for a day so people can enjoy each other, games and contests downtown is a great idea to give town folk a time to be together for fun and perhaps bring in a few bucks from out of town. The car show was great -who would have thought that 59 Chevy wagon with the droopy rear wing would drive in a parade and pull a trailer (I took driver’s ed in a sedan version of that car.). Thank you for spending your week end to share Bowman’s fun weekend, it felt like we were there and brought back cool memories for us and made our weekend. Oh, and we finally caught up on your garden tour, looking forward to the next update. Best wishes for a smooth and pleasant school year start-up. -Alan & Lea

Old post but beautiful pen. I wish i could find a montblanc for the price of a lamyn 2000 😁

Warm day? A pickup truck would come in handy for getting your garden produce to market. Grow some record breaking pumpkins 🎃. Quite an impressive turnout. Well organised. Thanks for making the effort.

It was so interesting to listen to your pondering about the meaning of hobbies. I agree with you in most of the points because I experienced a lot of change in my life including hobbies and the time I could spend for them. Some were just mayflies - soon over after enthusiasm at the beginning. Others came back. Now that I am wiser and older I know that I am not an artist but I enjoy working with colors, writing and reading. These musings come back to me in several forms and I really enjoy every minute I can spend with my hobbies.

That seems like an awfully short summer break! I realize you’re not starting classwork yet, but….

Happy new school year!

All his stuff is great. The Disappearance of Childhood is good too.

Not sure if you have heard the news but Edmore schools dissolved at the end of this past (2023-24) school year. They still had a lot of opportunities for students having cooped with Langdon Area and Munich, but it was ruled in the best interest of the community to send the kids to neighboring schools and have the school building turned into a community center. School district has been divided up between Langdon Area (this part includes Edmore), Park River, Lakota, Devils Lake, Starkweather, and Munich.

Ok why do you live in nd ?

Don’t want to make u Jealous but I live there

It sure does feel wonderful, when you're decluttered and organized. Btw, have you heard of Swedish Death Cleaning?

looks great !!

I inherited a Senator Regent from my father, who was a portrait artist and liked to work over a water colour--after drying--with black accents. This pen is very reminiscent of old Pelikans; interestingly instead of a straightforward piston knob at the bottom of the barrel, there's a blind cap that conceals a smaller knurled piston knob. Thanks for the review!

Once upon a time, I would have thought this town looked so boring. Now, I notice the absence of trash and homeless encampments, and other urban problems. The vacant storefronts are a concern, but those are present everywhere. The very small town; where I work; recently got a coffee shop, and it's been a sensation. My home town main street consists of two blocks, so I appreciate small towns.

It's good to hear that the neighbour in your garden was a mole. At least it won't eat your plants, as they are carnivores.

Dear Mr Waski...thank you so much for this awesome video- really enjoyed taking a look around your town. The cars were fun and that Volcano- just madness!! But fun. I really enjoyed seeing the farm vehicles as I live in the countryside in the UK and we have several tractor runs through our village of just over 100 people. They are the main events, harvest and tractor runs. Hope you had a fabulous day and hope you did not overheat out there too much. Sweet Blessings Mand XOXO

On the Krishna ink site nearly everything is listed as sold out. A very few inks in 20 ml. containers are available. No clue as to what the issue is. Did they send all stock to distributors? Natural disaster? Their inks have appeared on multiple pen videos recently, so perhaps viewers rushed in in a fit of FOMO. Any suggestions?

Quite the SHOW! The volcano thing was amazing to see once. And so many cars- fun -thanks! And, yes, the museum was extensive.

Great video! Would you be willing to make a disassembly video for this pen? I’ve got a (functionally identical) Osmia 883 in the handsome green/black stripes color, and the piston seal leaks, causing very little suction and leaking out the back by the knob. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Volcano... How much fuel to advance 1 meter? 😂😂😂

Cool. Cars! Planes and trains next?

Another masterpiece! What fun! Loved the museum. Thank you for showing me your beautiful little town.

Wow! Looks like a great museum! It even has a 'lab'!!! Sooo many fun cars! From 'grandpas' muscle car... and great granddad ride to newer cars... From restored to 'in process'!!! Great turnout of cars!!!

Great T-shirt!

Fun cars. Probably collecting cars is more expensive than collecting fountain pens.

how fun, thanks for sharing

This was fun! I'd really rather live in a small town ... I'm a fish out of water here in the city! You actually have more things you can walk to close by too ... very nice!!!!

Thanks for that tour. Puts a lot of things you mention in videos into context.

It’s a much larger community/shopping area than I expected. Good idea to leave the car at home. So they don’t deliver the mail to your house?

Huzzah for mini - libraries!

The second part of this video will probably attract a whole new audience on UA-cam. I wonder if your views will go up. Classic Cars are very popular. It was great to have a look at your town again. It feels strange to me that you go to the post office to collect your mail. In the UK the Royal Mail will walk up to your door and push any letters through the letterbox. They will knock on your door if they have a parcel. Our post offices have several roles. You can buy stamps, send a parcel, buy stationery, pay bills and many other things. However, they don't have mail boxes! I was hoping to see a store or business in your town that we have in my city. I had high hopes of a McDonalds, Burger King, KFC or Subway. Sadly it wasn't to be. I noticed you are something of a celebrity as well, quite a few people stopped to say "hello" during the filming. Altogether a very enjoyable video and interesting to see what life is like in your town.

💙💙Hı from Türkiye.. I am happy to inform you about the Istanbul "Pen Fest" event, held at Çırağan Palace on 9-10 November 2024, where all pen lovers and companies in the world will meet. Thank you for the video.💙💙

This ‘small’ town is ‘smaller’ than most of the ‘small’ towns I’ve passed through during my time in the US, but ‘larger’ and nicer than I had imagined. Population in my small residential colony in my city of 14 million people here in India is more than that of your town ! Number of motels and number of cars in the Ford dealership surprised me.

I’d move here in a heartbeat if I could. Love the vibe.

Thank you for the tour of your town. It's so much bigger than my tiny town. I like how you can walk to everything. Looks like the car show is going to be a pretty big event! Hope you enjoy it!

I really want to do a free library. That Swan Song book by Robert R McCammon is on my TBR! I loved his Boy's Life. Such a lovely town! Sad to see so many things are closed. Have fun at the car show!

Very nice! I actually used to live right on Hwy 12, but quite a distance away, in Idaho.

I have a torn up beat up hot pink small notebook I use for all my fiber arts notes. It's great! I can look back five years and see how I've changed as a human and an artist. It's always in my bag!

Love your shirt!!!

OK-now I wanna see the grocery store- since where you USED to shop closed! Is there any kind of clothing store? How far do you have to go for a department store ? Love this feeling of another world than mine. ANDi love your balloon flower plant! Looking forward to part 2!

This was a very interesting tour!

Awesome!

That was great fun! I appreciate the tour of your town and the explanation, as I was wondering why such a small town has so many businesses and amenities. The town garden is impressive. I love seeing old signs and would enjoy a closer look at the old motel sign. Those vintage signs are real classics!

Love the non-busy streets and the overall calm and quiet.

Love the tour of your home. Are those cars going to be restored?

Jason, Thank you so much for the excellent tour of Bowman! You're quite a natural at this. Bowman is a lovely little town and it was so nice to see that there was plenty of life in the downtown area. So often you'll see so many small towns that are boarded-up and lifeless-looking. Not the case here. There were quite a few interesting things and a variety of businesses, which was a bit of a surprise. I can see why you've made a life for yourself here. I could tell that there is a real sense of community here and I envy you a bit. I loved your house! By the way, what was that blue flower again? Lovely. Can't wait to see the museum!

I knew I saw the back of it that that was a free library. Amazing. Let’s get those books out there.🎉

I'm really pissed that Waterman stopped producing the large sized Exception - it was a great pen and a worthy heir to the Man 100. Their current range is very limited.

Waski, wow! I really, really like this vid! It’s so interesting to see your wonderful town & hear your intelligent commentary. It must be quite gratifying to have so many people know you & say hello as you walk down the street. That sense of community is almost a bygone phenomenon, sadly. I’ll probably watch this video a few times. Thanks again, my interwebz friend.
