72-year-old Jasper June, of Boone County, West Virginia business is really taking off. He moved his distribution center out of his tree house and into an actual location on the corner of 5th and Main.

His lab is still located in the tree house back behind the abandon red Chevy Cavalier.

Over engineered?

My creation is finally complete. What does it do you ask? It takes ordinary cold tap water and thru various processes and filters ingenuously turns it into ……. Hot water!! HahaHahaHA !!!

Next, I will make it infuse the hot water with . . . tea! Then I can take over the world! HahaHahaHA !!!

"The fools think they can slow me down by only getting decaf for the break room? I'll show them, I'll show them ALL with my latest creation, RE-cafinated coffee! And why stop there, I'll double the normal caffeine level, triple. Why I'll crank it up to two thousand milligrams of caffeine per cup, that'll get the blood pumping and the hearts racing!"

"What's that, Igor? One thousand milligrams of caffeine is considered a lethal dose? Bah, what's a few exploded hearts when we're making SCIENCE here!"

Back in my grade school days, I imagined myself as the mad scientist behind all that glass ware. I assumed that chemistry was all like that. I got off on architecture and then electronics; but chemistry did get me into wine making.
