@dusttilldawn Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy the courses. 👍
@nsj Yeah sure, I know about that. I’ll try some. 👍
@nsj See, I know that little about electronics and soldering, I didn’t know there was leaded and unleaded solder. Is the leaded stuff not dangerous to...
@nsj Very nice. I love your little helper too! 😺
@tv101 Oh wow! That looks like a nightmare for me. Good job though, very neat work T, I’m impressed.

@robin Well done! I’m glad you landed on the ground at a safe pace that you could walk away from it. 😆 You got more than your target. The air ambul...
@robin No problem, maybe I’ll need it someday, best to pay things forward. No problem with flooding here.
