The only time I've ever used a soldering iron was to put some weathering/battle damage onto my falcon model.

If you've never used contacts before, I can't see just using them temporarily as very convenient.  I don't even want to mess with them.  I don't like touching my eye.

Anyway, I may have to solder some paperclip support struts on this sucker...  It's about to get much geekier...

The only time I used mine before was to solder together an IR receiver for Winamp.  What does that make me?

Yeah, tell me about it.

Bah.  The solder always weakens.  No matter how good it is to begin with, it eventually snaps.  I just spent an hour on it, and while I could always resolder it, it's not worth the trouble, and I can't seem to get any good support for it.  It's in a really bad spot.
Ah well.  Looks like I'm gonna have to go a few days au naturale...  Eye-wise, that is.

thats the same spot where I broke my maui Jim sunglasses.  the wire across the bridge of the nose snapped where it joins one of the lenses
