I like to do sessions of "Bench Building" which, much like "Bench
Racing", is a time honored method to waste hours of time and has nothing
to do with building benches or anything else useful. The act of Bench
Racing involves leaning back against your work bench and ruminating on
how fast you were, could have been, or some day will be. Still
unsure? It's the fish that got away. It's the dog fight demonstration
with the fighter pilot "shooting his watch", or the 12 point deer that
you are sure you hit - "the blood trail must be around here somewhere!"
More specifically, while Bench Racing I like to dream up some rather
unlikely car and drive train combinations and see how far I can get in
the design process before I decide I must just be completely crazy.
