    Default Howdy from Yellowknife

    Greetings and salutations from way up here in the Great White North of the Canadian Arctic. A somewhat newbie here with a few pens and a few bottles of ink. But, man, once you start - it's extremely hard to stop, ain't it?

    Welcome, BJMoose. Wow, is that one of those places on Earth where you have several days in a row of endless sunshine and endless night time, depending on the time of the year? How do your inks perform in those super cold temps?

    Actually, we are below the Arctic Circle, so we don't get 24 hours of sunshine or darkness. However, it does come close. We do have a Golf tournament that starts at Midnight on June 21 and goes till 6:00 AM. In the super cold, we tend to add a bit of anti-freeze to the ink and it seems to work....
