[RBW] Re: "Just Wrench" as next book would be great. Here's why...

Kent Peterson would be the man to do this. He recently started doing "Bike Talk" on his blog http://kentsbike.com as an homage to the great-soon-to-be-late-don't-get-bent-out-of-shape Car Talk. He offers some advice and I've tried to get him to do a series for the "New Home Wrench." Perhaps "Ju
