I had and liked an Aeron for a few years but the arm rests wore out. After replacing them, the seat broke.

Cigars with the boySo, I bought a box of 10.
Very very nice! They pair well with the Suntory World Whisky.

Cigars with the boy@LuFins-Dad said in Cigars with the boy:
Lucas was visiting over the weekend. He told me on Sunday that some of the guys he was going to the beach with next week were planning on having cigars, and he wanted to participate, but he wanted to look like he wasn’t a complete noob, and asked if I could teach him how to smoke one… So we went to the cigar store, bought a couple of sticks, I bought him a V guillotine and some cedar sticks. Karla heard what we were doing and snuck out to buy us a bottle of WhistlePig (she actually likes it when I have the occasional cigar so long as I shower afterward, I think she likes the smell when it’s fresh, and also I have a tendency to get talkative with a cigar and a whiskey and get relaxed). We went out to the deck late on Sunday, I taught him how to snip it, and light it, and we had a VERY nice evening, just the three of us, talking over a glass of whiskey.
It was a bit weird, but like @George-K said, it’s a wonderful thing when your kid also becomes your adult friend…
As a side note, @mark , if you like a robust cigar, I bought these Aging Room Nicaraguan cigars with the advice of the shopkeeper. They had won the top rank by Cigar Advocate in 2019, but were still priced moderately at $17. It was probably the best stick I had ever tried, better than a few that I have had at twice the price…
Anybody else enjoy the occasional cigar?
Which size did you have?
Very cool, that you had this experience with your son.

No Corollas, No Camrys...Carvana tried to screw me on the deal. It was a wash just trading it in due to the savings in tax.
When it came time to get paid they lowered their offer by almost $3K.
Fuck Carvana.

No Corollas, No Camrys...Picked it up last night.
It's just as I remember it from the test drive.
I think it will be with me for a while.

Pen, Ink & PaperLove the pen! The ink looks killer too.
I'm done buying for a while. I just reprinted some parts for my 3D printed pen and using the JOWO medium nib, and a stock cartridge that came with the Monteverde, it is writing very nicely.
Now if I only had something to write that was worthy.

Pen, Ink & PaperWe drove to the heart of downtown Chicago this morning for our first visit to Atlas Stationers. https://www.atlasstationers.com/
So many pens! So much ink! Notebooks, accessories and very helpful and friendly staff.
Purchased my first Italian pen. A just released and not even on display yet, Visconti Comedia Purgatorio with a fine nib. It is the smoothest writing pen I own.
Found a beautiful leather pen/notebook case. Two Rhodia notebooks, A Pilot dip pen and an Atlas exclusive "ink of the week" Colorverse Wolf Point. It's a shimmering ink with tiny bits of glitter in it. Absolutely gorgeous ink.
The Mrs picked out a couple of cheap pens including a Pilot disposable fountain pen and a gel pen. She also found a small sketch pad.
D1 picked out 3 inks, notepads and a pack of Leaf color swatch papers.
We had a great time despite the overpriced parking. $59 for 90 minutes of parking!
I foresee more trips like this in the future.
We will be scoping out more affordable parking for our future visits though.
