That's good advice.  I was noticing in the picture that where the other 
ground lug goes (lower right hand corner of the picture) it appears there 
is some kind of corrosion(?) buildup underneath where the old ground lug 
went.  I didn't notice that until I looked at the picture.  It could just 
be the picture but I'm definitely going to check that out before I replace 
the solder lug.
