Sure, will grab an extra 2 for you.

The standard USPS delivery is $25, month or more delivery time.
I'm not in a hurry, so hopefully can get away without external RAM for now.
The FedEx one is $65 is a bit steep, given the module costs less haha!

I have one, but better to get a dedicated one for libresoc dev work.

Luckily I invested in a hakko many years ago.
Although a new soldering tip would be useful (my ones are pretty worn out).
Conical (or "horseshoe") tip is very versatile, usually way more usable than
the pencil tip.

Ooh, very nice. At some point I'll upgrade my multimeter...some day XD

Sure. I'll document my expenditures. If there are left over funds I'll leave
them for other miscellaneous components/tools.
