Into The Skin Tattoos

I’ve been exhibiting a lot of discipline lately, working weekends to get caught up on projects like Hot Rod Wiring and Into the Skin, our next new titles.

Saturday was a perfect day to be outside of course, 80 degrees and sunny, all of which makes it that much harder to hang out and work on our two new books. As the day slid slowly past I promised myself I’d work until 5 PM, and at exactly 5:01 I opened an adult beverage and headed for the garage.

It might seem like a small thing to you, but getting the intermediate link……

Rick Thompson and I repositioned the steering rack brackets weeks ago, but I never actually cut and installed the intermediate link. So on Saturday I went to work, double checking the length of the mock up link about ten times, cutting the new shaft to length, then doing a test fit. Next, it all came out again, so I could drill small little indents in the shaft where each set screw hit, before doing the final installation. All in all it was about three hours of work, though I shouldn’t even call it work. Because, it was just exactly the break from reality that I needed.

… and the tie rods hooked up is a sure sign of progress in the corporate garage. Our main mechanic and maintenance guy seems to be falling down on the job.

Deadlines and more deadlines.

Hot Rod Wiring and Into the Skin – our two newest titles - both go to the printer today. Jacki is doing last minute corrections as I speak, and by the end of the week we should have proofs back on both books from our printer in northern Minnesota. It takes about three weeks for production, which in this case includes duplication of the DVD that accompanies the Into the Skin book. Look for more information on the new titles, and the likely ship date, in next week’s blog.

Hot Rod Wiring, Into the Skin: The digital files for both these new titles are headed to the printer. Remember, order early and order often.
