[Boatanchors] Solder Kester 88

[David C. Hallam]

Find a local flea market and look for solder.  I finally had to stop 
buying it because I have enough to outlast my life time.  I rarely had 
to pay more than a couple of dollars for a spool.  They were usually not 
full spools but at that price who cares.
