Nope.  I'm a buy the board already assembled kind of guy.  I'm willing to
cobble up enclosures or double sided foam tape it to a cookie sheet for
breadboarding, but I guess I've sort of turned into a system integrator

At this point, even for hobby stuff, I'm willing to pay for someone else to
do assembly. For instance, I don't install my own coax connectors.  To the
point where I get a prebuilt cable and cut it in half to get two coax
pigtails to solder to something.
