Areas of Concern:
Right now, my biggest area of concern is soldering the connections in my glove. I have soldered before but it has been awhile since I last did. Kevin, if you would be able to assist me in soldering a few connections that would be appreciated.
Additionally, I am looking to add a last second compartment to house the new battery. Marianne, could I run a few ideas past you on Monday to get your opinion as to what you think would work best?
