[Elecraft] Soldering Naked

[Phil Townsend]

I was 12 years old... I think it was a Heathkit HW ???
I woke up early ready to sling solder. My bed was next to my "shack/workbench".
The parents and sister were all sleeping...
Then it happened...
A large blob of solder slipped off the iron onto Mr Happy! (My new best friend)
Shrieking and shouting... the blob "stuck".
The noise from my room awakened Sister and her sleepover friend. (The one I had the sweets for.)
They stormed into my room followed by Mom and Dad. 
Sisters friend was first into the room causing her to squeal as she tried to turn around and run out of the door she just came into.
Thereby running into Sis and parents.
The solder was still stuck and still hot.
By parents wanted to call the Doctor...but I had enough humiliation for one day so my Mom gave me the ointment and that was that.
Durring breakfast no one said anything about the early morning "event".
