It is weird the things you miss when you are away from home for multiple years... friends aside its really nice to have my handy Fluke 289 DMM back in my hand.
Visual example...
Wowowowow...... I just rebuilt a pen i built myself. Basically took a modern pen body, threw away its existing nib and ink feed and replaced it with an ink and nib feed that is 102 years old. Had to modify the size of the feed and use some teflon tape around it to get a good seal so the ink flowed right.... but my god of all my many amazing pens this now out performs them ALL! The nib is soft, has way more range than I thought, and the tip is fine enough for everyday writing too... best of all the modern body is so so sexy.
So I started wearing plain wedding band like rings. Partly because im in a relationship (not married) so it sends the signal to women I am taken... but more importantly as a style choice.
They are mostly cheap rings (Tungsten ~25$ up to cobalt and other mid grade metals at ~100$ to 300$). But I'm picking them out so they have some stripe of color like blue, red, purple, and green. Then matching whatever ring I wear that day to the color I'm wearing... this is probably the farthest I'll ever go for fashion.
