[Boatanchors] Walter Ashe Novice Staton

[Bry Carling]

Wow! Howard hasa lot of irons in the fire!
Are you conducting classes over there??

I think FIRE should be added to the old Boatanchor Bob saying:

"Radio with knives, stones and bearskins..."

(and I probably have  that wrong but you all will
remember...)  Can someone herequote BA Bob
better, please?

"Radio with knives, stones, fire and bearskins..."

Interesting how it does almost involve fire with tube filaments!

I have in excess of 50 soldering irons that do not use electricity or
gas for heat. They can be heated with a gas blow torch or a wood fire.
