    an off-topic rant about crime

    Matt, I think you're emphasizing that which we already know, but we need to be told again. I don't think anyone here is advocating telling the operator that there are guns when there isn't, since that is a crime in itself, but they are trying to make light of a situation that we all know too...

    "In the heat" Phoenix swap meet

    Since we're both on the far west side, Woodone (Jerry) and myself will be going together. I can give you my cell # and we can get together there for a few minutes if you'd like. It's always fun to meet fellow Gaugers at these things.

    "In the heat" Phoenix swap meet

    Who is going to the swap meet up at that church on N. Central? Would be nice to get a group of Gaugers together there, if only for a short time. In case you didn't know, it's one week from today, July 26th, at the church on the corner of Central Ave. and Bethany Home Road.

    an off-topic rant about crime

    There's no doubt that they are interested in stopping crime and putting the bad boys away, that's their job. No, I think it's a matter of priorities and the significance of the crime at hand. Like Mikey says, shooting always bring a quick response, because it is a life threatening issue. About...

    Soldering gun quetions

    I use a very fine point round tip, but only because I've been soldering with it for some 30 years and am use to it. I would recommend a narrow chisel point. For $5, you probably aren't going to get the best tip, and that's important. Also how you change the tip can be a hassle. I would suggest...

    Is Anyone Attending The Nmra National Convention 2008 In Anaheim?

    Would love to come to Anaheim for several reasons, but I'm still not in shape to travel much more than locally right now. I'm sure this is the closest to Phoenix that the national convention is ever going to be and I do regret missing it. It seems like every time I have a chance to meet you, I'm...

    Soldering gun quetions

    First of all, we need to differentiate between a soldering gun and a soldering iron. A gun is a rather large gun-shaped device with a trigger and a heavy wire tip. The gun heats up quickly while you hold the trigger. These are bulky and difficult to control and provide more heat than you need...
