Just received the following email from my printer:

"Brad: I did get the cover & it will hit the press Tuesday. The text is printing as we speak."

UPS had lost the final cover proof in Calgary, which is 1200 miles from Winnipeg! Wow, its so close! maybe well before the end of September.

All copies of the text (ie the inside of the book) are printed and folded. No copies have yet been sewn. Covers are started, but none are yet final (they print and then put an additional surface over the printed cover).

1 1/2 to 2 weeks until they ship. Prior to shiping they'll overnight me 2 copies for review.

Sweet.

Status?

Pinnacles season is almost here!

mynameismud · « **Reply #27 on:** September 16, 2007, 08:57:08 PM »

As soon as I can walk.

Brad Young · « **Reply #28 on:** September 17, 2007, 05:44:38 AM »

Yeah, talk about status, how is the leg?

mynameismud · « **Reply #29 on:** September 17, 2007, 07:14:23 AM »

I can put a little weight on it. See the Doctor today.

Walk it off!

I really need to climb on ropes soon. Maybe a new Pinns guidebook will inspire me.

Doc says 50%.

Ubergoober · « **Reply #32 on:** September 17, 2007, 07:00:52 PM »

50%...50% healed or 50% chance of survival? I get dibs on your aid gear if it is the latter.

I am definitely going to die but not soon enough for some. Hopefully by the time we come back from China I can start riding the bike and work toward some form of fitness.

All the texts are printed and folded. The covers are printed. Sewing started Monday... and the lady who operates the "Smyth Sew" machine had a family emergency. So, instead of finished books stacking up right now, we've lost a full week until she comes back.

Damn, it's hard to be patient.

Family emergency...are you sure she didn't want to head to the Pinnacles with her "draft copy"?

Brad Young · « **Reply #36 on:** September 20, 2007, 12:52:02 PM »

Actually I was told she was thinking of doing just that... and then she heard about these soft drunks taking their little carry-coolers to the High Peaks and decided not to.

challenge: carry a coleman steel case now! no one calls squiddo a soft drunk and stands up straight to tell the tale!

heh

squiddo · « **Reply #38 on:** September 20, 2007, 02:22:48 PM »

Yeah Brad....you got it all wrong. Bratton carries the 2 pack. I on the other hand bring the cooler into the parking lot and then hit the Chalone winery before tasting hours close.

Brad Young · « **Reply #39 on:** September 20, 2007, 02:35:31 PM »

Actually,Vicki and I are doing 3 days/2nights at the Inn of The Pinnacles at the end of October. We must be getting old; instead of climbing intensely on a weekend without the kids, we're climbing some and spending all afternoon Saturday at the Chalone Creek winery.
