Donated pens save graduate student’s life

Pens donated from Seattle WA,  save graduate student's life

These used pens were donated by Jenna, a graduate student from Washington who wrote a note saying that these pens got her through graduate school. I would say that these pens may have had life saving properties that enabled her to get through “hell” and back. They might have given her the will to write another paper or a least the will to proof read her work until it was perfect.

My theory is that the thought of donating these pens to the pen guy when they were empty was enough of a motivation. The only way get through graduate school was to complete her work and get her degree in Natural Medicine from Bastyr University.

Again all this is guesswork, but I have become a bit of an amateur analyst and can tell a lot about people by the pens they send to me. In most cases people don’t give me any information so I have to make educated guesses based on the type pens and the information printed on them.

Jenna thank you for the pens and congratulations.

Pens Donated from the UK

Pens Donated from the UK

It’s been way too long since wrote last, I have been busy designing web sites for local business and making engine repairs to my aging Mercedes Pens now with 274k miles and in need of some major engine work. I am hoping to get the car ready for Art Car Fest 2010 that will held October 8-10.

These came with no return address but when I pealed back the label I found a name. So I think these pens came from “Bob” from the UK. Thanks Bob, I really appreciate you sending these over all the way from across the “lake”:):):)

Pen Guy Episode 4 – How To Buy A Used Car Hassle Free

Pen Donation by the Car Man

I met Michael Carney at my local gas station the other day who happens to be known as the “Car Man“. We had a good chat about what he does for a living and promised he would send me some used pens in the mail. They did come, so I decided to make short video about what its like to buy a used car from the dealership these days knowing a little bit about it from having sold cars for exactly three months. What Michael does is eliminate the hassle of buying a used car by doing it for you. He goes out to car auctions every week and shops for cars so you don’t have to. After watching my funny video you will agree with me that car buying is nightmare and what the Car Man does makes sense. If you happen to be in the market for a used car give the Car Man a call or if you want to do it yourself I suggest you read Beat The Car Salesman.

Pens From New Mexico Smell Funny – Smell-a-Vision

The Pen Guy Smells Pens Donated From New Mexico

I got this massive box of Pens sent in by Don from New Mexico the other day and frankly they smell kinda funny. Don’t get me wrong I love all and any pen sent regardless of the way they look, smell or taste. Any ways I did a video about this particular batch of used pens and want to continue doing so as more come from the local thrift store locations and beyond. Don, thanks for sending those in and I look forward to the other ones you have coming my way.

Pen Guy at Maker Faire 09 Video

I did not get a change to go to Maker Faire to day due to car troubles. Last night I was getting ready and remember that I wanted to change my air filter before I went on a road trip down to San Mateo. I go to pull off the Air filter and oil drain hose that leads back to the oil pan just broke and dropped through the car down on the pavement floor at 10:30 last night. It broke because the air filter mounting unity was broken and put all the pressure on 1/4 stainless pipe. I had no idea what to do and was prepered to go to the pick and pull first thing. I woke up at about 5:30 am and my mind was awake working on the problem first thing and could not go back to sleep. I had to repair the Air filter mounting unit that costs about $115 and fix the pipe that costs around $30.
