I try to make my credit ready 

You're right. It is not cheap.

When it is near done, will we be able to see a date in our prepub orders?

I would think yes.

I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be soon.

Sounds quite realistic for me (a former telecom software engineer).

What does this "hurdle" mean in this context? Just wonder what would the British say?

From the dictionary:

b: a frame or sled formerly used in England for dragging traitors to execution

Galatians 6:9 So we must not grow weary17 in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.18

Note 17: 
25.288 ἐγκακέω; ἐκλύομαι: to lose one’s motivation to accomplish some valid goal—‘to become discouraged, to lose heart, to give up.’

ἐγκακέω: μὴ ἐγκακήσητε καλοποιοῦντες ‘don’t be discouraged in doing good’ 2 Th 3:13; διὸ αἰτοῦμαι μὴ ἐγκακεῖν ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσίν μου ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ‘as I suffer difficulties on your behalf, I ask you not to give up’ Eph 3:13. In place of a negative expression such as ‘not to give up,’ it may be better in some languages to use a positive equivalent, for example, ‘to keep on’ or ‘to continue.’
ἐκλύομαιb: καιρῷ γὰρ ἰδίῳ θερίσομεν μὴ ἐκλυόμενοι ‘for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will harvest’ Ga 6:9; μηδὲ ἐκλύου ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐλεγχόμενος ‘do not be discouraged when he rebukes you’ He 12:5.

Note 18:
23.79 ἐκλύομαι: to become so tired and weary as to give out (possibly even to faint from exhaustion)—‘to become extremely weary, to give out, to faint from exhaustion.’ μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ‘lest they faint on the road’ Mt 15:32. A number of languages make a clear distinction between (1) fainting as the result of surprise, astonishment, or fear and (2) fainting from physical exhaustion.

Does this mean that the rest of us will get in on 31st? Might be a good way to spend the new year night when others here are launching fireworks [:)]
