Okay this wasn't the LAST thing I got, but after 3 years with the iPhone XS Pro I finally had enough of the battery not lasting the day and I wanted a better camera. I picked up an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and wow the screen refresh rate was a nice surprise. I didn't think I would notice, but it's suuuuper smooth, and the camera is much nicer than I thought! I ordered a KUDA mount from Poland and a Scosche MagicGrip Wireless from Proclip. Perfect in-car setup for me because I HATE covering vents and buttons for a car mount.

The photos from the iPhone 13 Pro Max are nothing compared to my DSLR, but still pretty nice and a big improvement over my iPhone XS Pro:

This is always a good time of year to pick up fall/winter season apparel because they go on sale. I've always wanted stuff from FJÄLLRÄVEN. I've seen their goods more in Europe than around where I live. Being a Swedish company I suppose that makes sense.

Anyway, picked up this nice pack down hoodie yesterday and it's comfortable AF and looks good. Some brands, including popular ones like North Face or others look okay until you wear their stuff sometimes. This brand and perhaps Patagonia, good shit. Some brands are meant to fit better I guess.

Titanium, bolt action pen from USG (no, not that USG). Made in the US, won't get flagged by TSA (no window pommel), and works with several refill types, incl 0.5mm Pilot gel.

I've been wanted a better pen shell for a while now. Of the many options out there, what drew me to USG was the un-tacticool nature (deapite the company name), being made in the US, Pilot gel compatibility, and clean design with a finger grip.

There are a couple of other brands that I'll be trying as well but those haven't come in yet.

This is strictly a writing utensil, right? I can count on one hand how many times I've used a pen in the last 6 months. And most of those were for writing out a couple of checks for our landscaper this month. I can barely sign my name the same way twice any more. All the writing muscle memory is gone.

Somehow this is depressing me. Way to go Mark! Thanks for making this a pleasant Friday.

Being survival gear, I just assumed it kills chickens and cows, starts the fire to cook them, and can then be used as a rotisserie.

Lotta money for something I'd probably just leave one someone's desk by accident...

A good quality pen that's smooth and applies ink evenly and cleanly is such an underrated luxury. I got sick of the cheap PaperMate garbage at my offices. It's like writing with a piece of turd.

That being said, I wrote a check the other day and it took a surprising amount of effort to do proper cursive.

I don't think a piece of turd is conducive to cursive writing. I just have a feeling it won't hold up. Just my $.02

I gave up on a consistent signature a long time ago. If you reverse the order of the signed pages from my mortgage, you can see the exponential degradation of my signature into the inconsistent hand spasm that it is today.

It is an unfortunate name for a small business that makes pens. Any pen can kill but I needed one that would make me cry if I lost it. At least I won't have to worry about constantly breaking the clip off or someone breaking the pen itself on a flight line....picking up all the small pieces of broken plastic is no fun.

If Karas Customs wasn't on your list it should be. I just got a similar Ti pen from them (it's my 8th pen from them) and love their products. All designed and machined in the USA.

Latest purchase was a new headlamp and the last cam to finish out my rack.

I go through a pen a week. I sign between 300 and 500 business checks a week depending on the season plus all kinds of other documents. My signature is consistent. If however, I’m writing out something else like a note or a greeting card, my cursive sucks. The struggle is real.

Get off my lawn.

You know, they came out with this invention awhile back, you may have heard of it, maybe not, but they have stamps you can use that have your signature.

Also. You can get on my lawn anytime.
