Thing I Never Did Before #1: Soldering

by Dennis Mahoney

Used soldering iron

Notable details:

1. Spent years pronouncing the “l” in “solder” when I read it, was embarrassed to learn my error only recently

2. Iron remains hot many minutes after unplugging

3. Blobs of solder difficult to place with precision

4. Enjoyed it, looking for more things to solder
