STATUS UPDATE: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE NOT SO BAD

GOOD: The Battleships Attack rulebook is finished and we will start printing as soon as the Kyocera technician finishes tuning the machine. (Update on that: a part on Kate is "damaged" -- it works but there is a mark on every page. So the technician is going to swap this part with the same part on Paula, and get Kate -- who has a higher print speed -- fully operational.) Petrick says that the final R11 reports are "no big deal" and his books will be done by this afternoon.


BAD: The counters won't be cut until Wednesday. So Leanna and I will drive to Dallas (actually, to Grand Praire) tomorrow (Tuesday), then be at the cutting place Wednesday morning and perhaps home before dark. We can start packing and shrinkwrapping games Thursday. I just love preparing for a grueling 20-hour drive to Origins by starting with a 14-hour drive to Dallas and back, but that is what it takes.


NOT SO BAD: With the products "done", Petrick and I can start making serious progress on the final list of things to do to prepare for Origins. Leanna has most of her part of the list done. There are still over 90 items on the list, a few of which take an hour but most of which take a few minutes.
