WHAT Has Made You Smile Today? (II)


I have three butane soldering irons good ones One Snap-On 2 BernzOmatic (1 mini 1 full size).
The amounts to about $200 or so…
All three are broken so I decided what the heck!
I pulled out my l old nunchaku RDA that I have 2 of & never use anyway… I made it into a soldering iron with a 7-Eleven mod I got in some bag of someone’s unwanted vaping supplies.
And wouldn’t you know it solders like a gem

@Lostmarbles why thank you lost. In a pinch it worked I have you know a big heavy duty 260w/200 Weller gun but that thing’s just too powerful sometimes for a little circuit boards

He loves his new tree

I noticed I hadn’t seen the cat in the morning when I came home from work. This wasn’t until about 9 pm. I told my two boys to take flashlights and look for him. They shortly returned and led me to him. I was sick when I saw him.

That tree is back on our property and no way is a truck getting in there. I estimated it was at least 40 ft. We then spent a couple of hours walking the 100 yards or so from the house to tree over and over piling up things from the tree to soften his landing if he fell. We had packing blankets as well as regular ones, bags and bags of clothes that waiting to be donated, over two dozen shipping boxes used from our last move and other assorted materials.

The next morning my wife found a professional tree climber who came within two hours and he was able to rescue him. He said it was 50+ ft. We’re quite relieved.

Damn cats!

Actually not sure, but the old gal I had before was 17 years old and she was a Tortoise Shell… This guy has a lot cuddly traits like grabbing your hand when he’s not done with you petting him, tucking his head underneath my chin when I hold him or giving me aggressive head bumps when I lay down. Also, he likes to hold hands when I sleep.

about twice the size of my other cat, but just as much of a sweetheart as ever.

Oh my God all three of those traits are exactly what Skittles used to do. Especially if you stop petting them that’s hilarious

Yeah, I love animals, they’re always there for you. I don’t have any friends in real life or anything like that, mom lives a town away and sometimes I have a nurse that sees me, but generally don’t leave. So it’s nice to have something there that relies on you and you rely on it for mental well-being. I love him so much and the conversations we have seem crazy, but it’s necessary to cure loneliness for me.
