Peteski, OF COURSE I was using Superior No. 30 Supersafe Soldering Flux (gel)!! I never solder track without it. Yes, you are correct in observing that the Optivisors on my head in the photo are the original, high-quality version. My other Optivisors are of the later, plastic tension-knobbed style.
As to Flickr, Nate and I got it to display a postage-stamp sized version of a photo we were attempting to present in another post, but when we tried to get it to display a larger version, all we could get was a multiple language warning that that photo/video was not available. This photo also generated that same warning even after I fiddled with it for five or ten minutes. You are correct that the protocol was https, but it was that for the one teeny 75 X 75 photo that displayed too. It was when I chose a larger size for it on the Flickr site that things went screwy.
Otto,....ahhhhhhhh...I don't know whether to be complimented or insulted! Hahaha...!! Yes, it IS "geek hair" and I have been a proud member of The Geek Society for exactly 65 years today!
Anyway, Nate and I have great fun working on his layout, even though I have to scrub my hands afterwards because I've actually been touching Atlas Code 80 track. JUST JOKING!...I treat it exactly the same way as the RailCraft code 55 and code 40 track on my layout, and I am continually surprised that it looks better than I thought it would/could after painting, ballasting and weathering.
