Pretty much my thoughts when wife and I did the east on Sunday. Might investigate how close we can get to Georgia this coming weekend, looked like a lot of snow up there still though.
This is actually a pretty good ride if you park out a Lost Park CG and do it as an out->back from there. You have a bit of mandatory dirt road work to bypass the short bit of Wilderness, but the final descent through the meadow of the N Fork of Lost Creek is fast and fun.
You say that like it's a problem.
FTS friday. Wife wants to go camping, so I guess that's what I'm doing on my weekend.
It's alotta work to go camping for a weekend. Packing and unpacking for a day and a half of camping is... marginally worth it.
That said... camping rules. Just needs to be done for more than a weekend.
When I used to race / ride away every weekend, by the time gear was cleaned / dry, it was time to pack up for the next trip. Got in a good routine that way.
For the first time in my life, I might actually have to pull the ripcord on a vacation.
Sick kid?
Actually, camping is out. Just got back from the emergency vet. There was another altercation over a pair of peanut butter filled kong balls. The old man got worked pretty bad. 300 bucks later we're back home with a limping dog that has a patchwork of shaved spots and collection of pills that would do any geriatric proud.
edit: And it also turns out that the girl we thought we had lined up to dog sit happens to be a major flake, and we need to make other arrangements for that too.

So when's the new doggie going back?Actually, camping is out. Just got back from the emergency vet. There was another altercation over a pair of peanut butter filled kong balls.

While that's certainly tempting, as my wife points out, I said the same thing about dog #2 when he was the new dog picking on dog #1. The reality is that because we (and by we I mean me) tend to pick up these used/abused/neglected dogs we have to learn at least as much about how to handle their idiosyncrasies as they have to learn about living in our house. She's still pretty skinny and underweight, and clearly not long past nursing puppies, and her prey drive is the strongest I've seen in any dog. A regular meal seems to be something she's not used to having. Dog #3 clearly has/had food insecurity issues that we need to learn how to handle better.

Blah blah blah, decent human being, something something something.
isn't this impinging upon your accustomed level of luxury?
I think you may have squeeb confused with stoney...
No. See decent human being comment.
dick move.
how do you explain sitting on a bag of frozen peas?You will note that this is PROFESSIONAL grownup advice. It is fucking GOLD.
well...i'd already had some beers by the time i posted...impeller..happy?...pump fan...
You misspelled fart mystery.
Yup.
As a married man there are DOZENS of ways to pass this off as legit.
Spending gobs of money on neurotic dogs is my accustomed level of luxury.
Not trying to be. If the dog can't interact with the other dogs and bites during feeding, it's generally not ready to be around kids. He's got a daughter, albeit in the 10-12 range (iirc), but still a relatively young child.
She's 8, but your point is valid. What's strange about it is it seems to be an other dog thing. While I've not had the girls try it, the dog will let me take her half finished food bowl with nary a whimper. It was one of the very first things I tried with her, and I did it again after the first fight. No issues. But when the other dog is involved it's all fur, blood, and puncture wounds, and new dog is definitely the aggressor.
The rest of her behavior is so good it's almost unbelievable, but this food issue might turn out to be a real thing if we don't figure out how to handle it. I've fed her twice in her kennel now just to keep them separated. It's a huge pain in the ding-dong but that just might be how it has to happen.
