Free Shipping at Wolfgang

We did it, we shipped two books: Pro Pintripe and Sturgis 70th Anniversary, to the printer. We should have finished books ready to send to our anxious readers in about 30 days. I will keep everyone posted through this blog.

We always contribute mightily to the Fed Ex bank account at this time. It ain’t cheap but they get it there tomorrow and there’s never a problem.

And we got our first real snowfall of the season on Friday night and Saturday. Which means riding season is officially over. Oh, I know there are some hard-core bikers out there who ride all winter, but for most of us it’s time to get after all the maintenance we put off at the end of the season. For me, the Bagger doesn’t need much work, but there is this other machine in the same garage just dying for a little attention. With any luck, the onset of winter will also mean the start of Henry J repair season. The steering column is lying there just waiting to be bolted in, and then there’s the intermediate link, and the wiring and a hundred other tasks. All of which look pretty intimidating right now, but once I get started it all feels pretty good.

So rather than grouse and bitch about the cold weather, I prefer to find a silver lining. Or in this case, a black-primered lining. Opportunity comes in many forms.

There’s no point in bitching about the snow, it’s part of living in the Great White North, and it’s really pretty – at least in November!

The Shipping News

Some time ago we began offering Free Shipping on US orders. Of course there turns out to be an exception to every rule, and that exception is calendars. The only way to ensure they show up at you address in good condition is to put them in a US Postal Service Priority Mail box. And of course that costs more than shipping a book by Media Mail. So from this point forward, we will be charging $6.00 S&H, per order, for all calendar orders. Sorry for any confusion.

You have to be careful about leaving a project untended for too long – otherwise the creeping-crap machine seems to take over. Pretty soon the project is lost amongst the bikes of junk.
