    Default Wonderfull People that you meet through the forum

    I will make this as short as I can but I want to offer my sincere thanks to a member of this forum.
    About 6 weeks ago I saw a tutorial written by edblysard on sierra modification and I asked him if he minded if i turned the tutorial into PDF so they could be downloaded by anyone who wanted it and Ed said he would be gratefull for that so I didand he thanked me end of story or at least I thought it was Today I arrived home from 3 weeks in Bali and unaware to me here was this parcel from Ed upon opening it I found this lovely modified Sierra pen done in what I think is Brown Mallee with a letter that read along the line that Ed believe that my address was a home for unwanted pens and that it was for me.

    I just want to say thanks to Ed for the gift and that it was totaly unexpected and this also shows how generous many members are here on the forum and what a great bunch of guys and girls are here.

    So thanks again Ed your unexpected gift is greatly recieved and appreciated and I hope to talk to you soon.

    Cheers Ian

    The wife said she saw it hanging out downtown with a pair of click pens and....well a slim line.
    I know, I know, you would think we raised it better, but...
    And she thinks she found eraser dust in it's sock drawer, you know what that leads to....
    So I figured it needed to go someplace where a responsible adult could keep an eye on it.
    Anyway, a friend told me about Dorno's Home for Wayward Pens, and you know how the rest of the story goes.
    Anyway, it has a Aussie heritage, so your going to have to keep a sharp eye on it, you know how crazy thoses guys can get!
    Hope you enjoy...

    Lovely gesture Ed. It is true - there are great people on this forum and you can make some good friends when you catch up and meet them. Thompy and I decided we would fly up to Cairns for a weekend in a couple of months and catch up with Pariss. We may have to promise that we won't leave any saw dust on the floor of his shed cause as you know it is spotless. Looking forward to the trip.
