An Addition to the Adage "Wear Pants When Soldering"

[Lazarus Short]

I was working on the front brake of my step-daughter's mountain bike this evening. As I usually do, I plugged in the 35-watt iron to put a bit of solder on the end of the cable, so that it would not fray. I laid down a sheet of cardboard so hot solder would not damage the shop rug (it's a Karastan), soldered, and without me thinking about it, my bare foot wandered into a splash of hot solder. Shoes, people!

A true Hillbilly has thick calluses on their knuckles (from dragging them) and feet from lack of "choose". And Daisey Dukes provide minimal safety coverage....

The heavy mouth breathing can get you a nice burn on your tongue too.
