Hth :D

Doh - I really am tired. Have been driving all day and I thought soldering would be a good wind down.

Call me Mr McShaky Hands.

Got the board soldered it needs a clean up from all the flux but the harder I tried to keep a steady hand the worse it got.

Notice the small cap nearest the big ones and its wonky but has connectivity - I gave up on presentation skills.
