Editing The Pen Addict 76/transcript (section)

== Pen List Updates ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' So a couple more quick updates. Some lists that I changed, changed around. No real new things. But I did update the top five pens, the overall list. I got the 580, Twisby 580 at number one. And the Secura Pigment Micron at number two. The Uniball Sino DX.38 at number three. Our favorite Oto Graphic Liner at number four. The Uniball Jetstream at number five. Do you notice anything that fell off that list, Myke?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Putting you on the spot. It's the Pilot Hi-Tech C.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I just haven't been using it as much. And that's what this list is trying to accomplish, right? And anyone who's new to this list needs to read the lead in. It's basically this list, these top fives are what I'm using the most frequently and enjoying the most. So that's why it's always changing. It's not a shopping list. It's what I'm using the most and I'm reaching for the most and it's giving me good experiences. And it's always changing. That's why I try to update it. As frequently as I can. It looks like it's going to be about once a quarter or so updating it. But, you know, I just haven't been using the Hi-Tech C. So it kind of fell off the list. All these other pens I've been reaching for ahead of it. So, and I put it down at number two on the micro gel ink pens, the DX 0.38. I've just been using it more. It's more consistent.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's got great colors. They're really vibrant, really bright. I love the pen. So, let's see. What else did I update? I think that's about it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, I also did.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Someone had asked me, I think on the Field Nuts Facebook group, didn't I have a list of my favorite Field Notes editions? And instead of putting a top five list on the top five page, on my Field Notes page on the blog, I put down, there's been 20 Field Notes limited editions so far. I ranked them from one to 20 in my favorites. Because I think someone was asking me where the Drink Local edition would rank. And I ranked it pretty highly. I have it at eighth overall, ahead of some of the older classics, plus a couple of more current favorites like American Trades Men and National Crop Edition. So, that list is there for people that were asking. We talked about it on one episode. I had just written it down in Field Notes and taken a picture, posted it on Instagram, and you and I talked about it. But this is a permanent – I wanted to give that list a permanent home because I was having to research back to find it again. So, this way I can just always kind of keep it up to date if there's any changes on there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You need to update your images.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know. I'm missing the ales and lagers, and I'm missing the fuchsia XOXOs that you sent me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have updated mine. Oh, did you? Yeah, it's updated. It was difficult to photo the Drink Local. It's probably the worst picture I've taken.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, you can tell some of my newer pictures are not as good. But, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I tried to squeeze it all in, and it's all kind of off balance. Yeah. It looks terrible. But you can click it and get a full image.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I need to do that, too. I'm wondering how I'm going to do that. But it'll be fine because I want to get the coasters in there, too, because those are so cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' My image is terrible. You can even see. Like, I take it basically because I have a clear desk, right? So I have this really large envelope, which is just lying around, and I just lay them on the envelope. It's a white envelope to take a photo. But when you enlarge the Drink Local one, you can see the edges of the envelope. It's a terrible picture. I kind of rushed it. Yeah. But I haven't done it justice.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know. So I need to do that, too. So those are the two that I need to add. And as I was updating this, I was like, oh, I'm not even the most up-to-date with the latest editions and the XOXO. So, yes, sir, I will work on that, sir.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Thank you. Hey, so before we finish, I have a couple of quick updates. I didn't give – I should have done them in the follow-up section.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No problem.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What do you got? So I just wanted to say how much I've been absolutely loving my purchases.
