  Ed, I've locked my manual in a Kryptonite vault surrounded by lit 
candles and garlic cloves....so as to protect the world from its

I love this kit, but the manual is straight from He.l!!! I'll 
upgrade my shots, wear welding gear, and shuffle through it for some 
tidbits of joy....but not if the moon is full!
