Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen
Have you ever used a fountain pen? If you haven’t you might give it a try. I find that fountain pens are very easy to write with. You don’t put pressure on the page, the ink just flows. It’s easier for me to write for longer periods of time. I own some nice fountain pens and my biggest fear is that I will be using one, set it down, and loose it.

With the Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen, you have a $2-$4 disposable writer. It lays down an even line of ink. For a cheap pen, it has a good nib (tip)! Basically the entire barrell of the pen is the ink reservoir, so there’s plenty of ink. There’s even a window so you see how much ink is left.

The pen comes in a variety of colors and is available at Amazon, Daly’s Pen Shop, the Pilot Pen Store, and Jet Pens, just to give you a few.

As a 4 year-old, I would take apart retractable pens. Watching that point come out of the barrel fascinated me. Click click, click click – how did it work? The only way to find out was to take it apart. So, for a couple years, until I could put them back together, my parents were plagued with a series of disemboweled pens…

Almost 50 years later, I still love gadgets, tech gadgets, kitchen gadgets, computer gadgets, etc. I don’t find myself taking them apart so much, but I love using them to see if they better my life.

Every gadget featured I have purchased and used for a period of time. I’ll tell you what I think and invite your comments.
