Hello Orchidland,

    I intentionally leave one unsoldered link on chains. Should the
    chain be severely jerked, the unsoldered link is the first to
    separate, hopefully saving the rest of the chain and reducing
    possible injury to the wearer. 

    It's much simpler to repair the chain if all one has to do is
    replace the stretched link. 

    Judy in Kansas, where the lovely warm weather and spring rains lured
    all the fruit trees and flowers into bloom. Last night temps were
    below freezing, and the weather forecast for tomorrow includes SNOW!!
    I'm afraid that dashes my plans for cherry pie.
