As the days get colder and shorter, with no big rides planned for the rest of the year, it's time to look at the workshop and do some cleanup and rearranging. It's a never ending battle, every year I think of new and better ways to organize things. This year Mrs. Gugie wanted a refrigerator in the garage. I talked her down to a small model, one to hold the not-yet-cooked turkey, not-yet-smoked brisket, and other large meats and other overflow items from the kitchen fridge. Oh, and it should hold beer, of course. Rather than put it in the area with the cars, why not in l'atelier?

My collection of vintage bike bells were mounted to a wooden round, a hook on the end, and now you can see and ring all of them. The beer cooler is right underneath.




Raise the drafting table for sit/stand use, hang the most interesting bike from the ceiling, park some of the rest of the fleet front and center.
