She looks pissed. Better feed her before she bites your arm. :P :-DD

Nah, she's a big old softie, anyone comes to our house who she doesn't know, and she goes and hides, as does her sister :-DD

Well, not quite. While it is true I've had that same roll for 40 years I was for many years inactive in the hobby so it wasn't used. It wasn't until about 2014 that I fell into the rabbit hole big time. :-DD

Got half left of a pound of 62/36/2 probably 30 years back 'for best' like BD does and enough other bits and bobs of 60/40 to see me out including around half a rolled tin and cardboard bobbin of 13g Cinevox ....heavy stuff for battery cables and such. None of that Pb free muck here !

I have some of the Tek "special" silver solder for the ceramic strips but I rarely use it. I've found that the 60/40 melts and mixes just fine with the silver solder and I've never had a ceramic strip delaminate when using it.

Some cats have raised the glower to a high art form, able to wither lesser beings with a sideward glance.

I have plenty of that heavier stuff myself in the garage, can't use it on delicate electronics, I'd end up turning a PCB into one gigantic ground plain :-DD

Nothing wrong with a good ground plane! :-DD
