    spending spree

    Well I went on a spending spree of sorts..

    got tired of my old soldering iron..
    so....

    I just bought a solder station of crapbay for $22. variable 5-40w.
    oh and since i was there and I am almost out of solder... got that to. and well I ran out of desolder braid.. so got that to.

    plus some random parts..... and a 2 pack proto board..

    Estimated delivery Thu, Jan 22

    Only one?
    I have 9 soldering irons, and 2 stations....
    15 watt to 100 watt stations 50 watt types regulated ;)
    Still have 4 pounds of rose core solder with lead and tin in them, enough to lat me my lifetime, or else buy some more if need be.
    No whiskers for my soldering...

    You still need a blowlamp/blowtorch to complete the set, good for plumbing and starting a reluctant fire.

    What the hell is wrong with me? I have been clearing out all my boxes in the basement for our move and realized that i have no soldering iron!

    Shameful, shameful ham operator! To be fair, i wont really need one until we get settled into the new place...there, i feel better.

    Well, now we all know what to get you for a house-warming gift, after you move.

    Make sure you don't walk away, and forget it is plugged in. You might end up with a REALLY warm house.

    You would be amazed at the crap i am finding down there...things i thought i lost long ago. And things i wished i had.

    I also found a certificate for when i placed a message aboard a Mars lander. Cool beans!
