[TheForge] soldering v brazing v welding (fyi)

[Mike Porter]

Frosty,
Granted: Alaska is something else. I worked in the worst of it (Bearing Sea)
for five years and was still impressed. If you need things to be "bigger
than life" Alaska is the place for it; don't think I could ever be bored
there. Never was anywhere else that I could feel a sense of "the great out
doors" indoors.

I didn't say anything about your looks, I've never seen you. I just said I 
wasn't bummed to be me instead of you. I don't have to live in the lower 48.

While polycarbonate lenses are scratch resistant glass lenses are a lot more

so. My polys last a year if I'm careful before they're scratched enough to 
be a problem.
