Apart from the cat stuff and general couch potatoing today is (stupid) Steve v the Torch part deux
So a while back a brilliant (literally)
pocket torch stopped working. (Note that they are only a fiver each)
So after much procrastination (I am an expert) eventually yesterday i took it apart found the obvious fault (soldered joint broken) but could I find my electronics type soldering iron in my tip of a garage? No
Choices were:
a) just sling torch away - did get a brighter different one for Crimbo
b) buy a replacement for ~£6 - that I don't really need
c) keep searching for said veteran soldering iron
d) try using my even older Weller Soldering gun but it is a bit of a beast and easily damages electronicery
e) buy new soldering iron for ~£16
- they do look good
f) think it out again
g) just open a bottle of something alcoholic and all will seem fine (for a while)
So of course I went for (e)and it's just arrived. Procrastination will likely win the day though
