Very, very nice! I actually read this a couple days ago and didn't have time to respond. The real world can keep me busier than I like at times. Congratulations on the impeding retirement, that's quite an accomplishment!
Waterman makes great products, I own a couple myself although I don't use them much anymore. Like most people my handwriting has skills have gone downhill thanks to keyboarding and voice recognition.

Those tree projects are admirable and I hope it helps attract more people for content. There are a lot of us here for the crypto side, but it would be nice to have some new creators with new content! It's always a challenge to onboard new folks, starting here is very hard because you don't earn much at the start. If I can help out in any way feel free to ask!
