You know, this brings up a good point.  I know everyone has their own ways
of checking their work.  But, I have found that trying to go back and check
a lot of joints after-the-fact is hard to tell where you are going and where
you have been.  So, I will share something that works for me.  I check all
of my joints under magnification before I trim the leads.  Then when I am
happy, I trim the leads off.  So, after soldering a few parts on, I stop,
inspect and clip.  Everything not clipped needs to be inspected.  Everything
trimmed already has been.  So, I am sure not to miss soldering any joints
that way, and I don't waste time looking over and over at the same joints.

Just my $.02

rescue and I'm again modulating. Thanks
