Ok,

Lets talk about slow in the head. Once upon a time, I wanted to build
a modular synth. I ordered some rather nice kits from Synthtech, and
through a miracle of UPS, they arrived.

I carefully looked at the Synth-Tech web site. It had a lovely list
of "buy me before you start" stuff. Heck, I have done electronics
projects before, so some of it I had.

But I went and made sure I had everything before I started. But I was
stuck finding the solder on a rainy Southern California afternoon
(anyone see the problem yet).

I was down, for in my limited Dodo mind, I lacked the solder to
construct the first parts of my beast.

So I opened up my MOTM-900. Vowing to solder the small number of
joints using the spool of "no clean up" that I did find.

So there in a little bag is some solder.

At this point, I am flabbergasted. I check the other kits, hell...
they have solder in them too. I have been looking for 2 days for this
stuff.

Guess I am too careful, I was not going to risk losing anything
before I started building, so I left everything in their little bags.

So yes, now I know that solder comes with the kit. I am now enjoying
myself.
