Remindes me of the time I was doing some very finicky mod's to an Alinco
radio.  I used the soldering iron and some tweezers to remove a surface mount
resistor, put down the soldering iron and carefully placed the resistor in a
plastic baggy.  I then noticed an odd smell.  Unpleasant, like burning nylon.

I had put the soldering iron down on my knee, instead of into the
holder.......  Burnt nylon right on my leg.  Brand new rock climbing pants.  At
least now I won't worry about ripping them.
