Now, kids, it's tahm ta talk about dee-layed gratification.

Here's one that'll tickle ya pink! (Also black & blue if ya
stand around it too long. Take a hint from ol' Joe.)

How menny       Whut is it                      Where d'ya git it
___________________________________________________________________________
   1      1 inch cube of 90% Palladium         any good hardware store
               with 10% Titanium               should have it

   1      4 inch length of gold wahr           steal from yore sister's
                                               earrin's

  5 gallons    heavy water, with 10%           steal frum Navy base
               DTO (th' "Jolt" version,        or borry frum naybors.
               heh heh.)

   1 cup  Lithium Lye, with Deuterium,         war surplus store
          USGummint #3039924057394XD

   1      1 to 3 volt, 30 amp pahr splah       hell, bild it, use
                                               pappy's arc welder,
                                               or whutever.

   1      special currint reggalater           bild it.
          (figger 3, end of chapter)

   1      Kickass(tm) 8 week high-reliability  ain'tchoo gotta hardware
               timer or equiv'lint             bin? Call up Bud's

                                               Don't let on whut it's for.

   1      big moonshahn crock, with lid.       c'mon, ya gotta know
                                               where ta git basics!

  th' usual wahr an' stuff, as requahred.


How d'ya do it, Joe?
_____________________

Wal, ya find a ol' shack on a hill somewheres that still got pahr
goin' to it.  (Elsewise, ya gots ta use a whole lotta ol' truck
batt'ries, which is tuff ta hump around.) Put th' crock in th' shack,
and pour th' Jolt water inta it.  Stir in th' Lithium Lye, slow an'
careful. Don't splash none, an' don't add th' stuff too quick, now.
Cover it real taht, so's ya don't lose too much. Y'all don't wanna
hafta sneak inta th' navybase again, do ya? Them guys got guns & stuff
and they ain't afraid ta use it.

So, ennyway, see, ya bild the pahr splah, an' ya bild th' currint
reggalater in figger 3 at th' end of th' chapter, the one with the
special shunt cirkit fer changin' the currint. Thet's whar th'
Kickass tahmer goes. Test it ta be sure that th' current starts at
about 30 amps and goes down ta 10 or 15 when th' tahmer goes off.

Bild th' other stuff lahk in figger 2. Cart th' whole mess down ta th'
shack, and put th' bizniz end inta the Jolt water. Don't leave th' lid
off too long, now. Cover it up good, an' duck tape it, specially th'
place wher the wahrs come out. Ah got me some motorcycle ground strap,
which is read'ly avail'ble an' flat, so it don't queer up the fit o'
the lid. Bolt the straps down real secure, an' put vaseline on th'
bolts.

Now, set th' Kickass tahmer fer 8 weeks, plug th' pahr splah in,
make sure ya got 30 amps, an' take a hike.

'Member, neutrons ain't yer frens. Keep ol' Blue away from th' shack
unless ya want two-headed puppies runnin' around eatin' too much,
probly worrit yore mom no end, an' if ya gotta go in ther ta check,
don't stay long. Ya want ol' Joe's advice, after around 7 weeks, don't
go in ther atall.

This hear makes a real 'hot flash', an' in fact, it's whut this book
is named fer. Y'all kin see th' flash from a couple mahls away, raht
through th' av'ridge wall, so don't go bildin' it in yer basemit. Got
thet?  No need ta keep it too close ta home, raht? Ya kin get caught
with it if it's too close. Besides, ya don't want yer sister fahndin'
out wher her earrin's got off ta. She probly woont lahk it, an' she'll
make ya cut her in on the deal. 'Course, thet maht not be too bad, if
she's good with a soldrin' ahrn. Probly bilds good pahr splahs, an
that's importunt ta this 'hot flash'.

Ah got trouble, Joe. Now whut?

Whut happen             Whut ta do
___________________________________________________________________________
ya hair falls out       Dummy! I tol' ya not ta stan' aroun' up
in hanks                close-lahk! Thow away yer clothin', an'
                       take lots o' shahrs. Eat some vitamin E,

                       a spell.

red skin & funny spots  same thing.

juice won't drop to     shunt circuit screwed up, or ya bought a cheap
10-15 amps              tahmer. Don't bah you no cheap tahmers!

no flash after 8        th' Authority mebbe cut yer pahr. Wait 2 more
weeks is gone bah       weeks an' then check fer pahr at the wall sockit.
                       Ef thet don't work, check the pahr splah. Ah
                       tol' ya yer sister probly bild it better then
                       you, ya shoulda listened. Also check th'
                       tahmer. 'Member whut ah sed about cheap ones!

Big wet spot            ya crock leak? If no leaks, check the roof. If
                       the roof leaks, don't worrit yerself. If th'
                       crock leaks, fix it quick.

'lectrode turns brown   probly yer Lithium Lye is contaminatid. Ya can
                       give it up, or start over.

runs hot                only happins once in a whahl. Swipe Grampa's
                       ol' still-tubin', an' make lahk a li'l still
                       coil with it. Jes' run th' outlet back inta
                       the crock. Duck tape the whole mess real good.
                       If thet ain't enuf, use a truck radiater.
                       Don't drink the stuff, neither! Taste lahk
                       hell, take it from one that knows.


Youall have fun, now. Ef ya hit the sweet spot, th' hill will glow fer
munths. Thet means you done real good! Set up a "myst'ry spot" sahn,
an' charge th' city folks a dollar a look.

Yore Frend,
Joe
