Yeah, I think that I'm just going to slap some 3/4 ply on there for now, full width and height, so that I don't roll things off the back and behind the bench. Then I'll be able to mount anything anywhere whenever I want to.

Someone tried to get me in PA last year while I was tooling around some Pennsyltucky town after setting up camp. I was pedaling at a modest pace as he was approaching. He started to accelerate as he passed. Luckily for me, I decided to stop in preparation for turning back. That threw off his timing. The belches of smoke came out far enough ahead of me so as not to affect me.

State of the shop: boring but helpful ultility bench almost done but I'm undecided on the back. I've got a frame extending to the first floor joists, but don't know what I want to put on there. Pegboard to hang tools? Slat board for lightweight shelving? Just some plywood so that I can hang whatever I want off of it (maybe some French cleats?) 
I should prolly do some image searches for inspiration.

One of my postdocs is home in Italy for a job interview. She's due back next week, but thinks she'll get quarantined in Germany or some god-forsaken US military base on her way back. I told her to stay put for the duration if she wants to. This sucks.
On the bright side, I'll have my PRC 1400s tomorrow night or Sat a.m..

The Pegboard looks like a Pa*****o machine. I have one of those at home BTW, pics available on request.
Wait! Can't say pa*****o? Pa-chin-ko. "Japanese Pinball" amusement game.

When I was a young Velo Vol learning knots, I was told the sheepshank was often used by sailors.

Looking at AirBNB's for an upcoming race. Found one that's $41/night, so I clicked on it. $150 cleaning fee plus other fees makes a $41/night cost $243.
I messaged them in the hopes that they accidentally slipped an extra zero in the cleaning fee and can't figure out why nobody wants to rent the room.

I have always had reservations staying in anything other than a hotel. I would stay in track owners homes, race promoters, and other drivers places when I hauled the race car, and never really liked it. They would offer, and the car owner had no trouble accepting on my behalf. Once we got a hotel as a sponsor, I was in 7th heaven.
