hey wait a minute … Mike
I thought you preferred the BLUE wire
or
did you use the YELLOW to support the image of a noodle ?
at any rate and as always -- thanks for the tip

Blue is just the color of 18 AWG TQ lead wire I started carrying when clear wasn't available.

I developed a taste for pink in my younger years, still partial to it today.

Taught to me by an old electrician. One or two wraps of wire around a screwdriver and then pull it until it is unwound. Makes it straight as new. The electrician was my Dad.
