I have a (batshit CRAZY) friend who loves her minivan for one particular reason. She is chronically phobic of public restrooms, and she likes that she can shit into a bag in her minivan when out and about. A seat for every ass, I guess...

I bet a bunch of people who make fun of minivans drive around in crossover SUVs. Which is basically like marrying a transvestite without ever looking under the hood.
nope.

also, the last time i drove a minivan i totaled it. so i've got that going.

Morning. Checked the game camera last night and the got all excited to see the card was full.

This morning I reviewed the pics to find 9997 pictures of the wind blowing and three pictures of deer. Guess I need to change the settings

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Afternoon. day 2 of gymnastics camp for small one. She was tired today. Big storms last night rained out my ride so maybe I'll sneak out tonight or tomorrow (more storms slated for today). I've got my niece and nephew here today and am already wishing the 2 year old didn't know my name. He never stops talking!!! Perhaps a dip in the pool (sans brown floaters) will tire him out!

It's strange... I've run across quite a number of moms who categorically refuse to have a minivan. Even though they actually already have a minivan (wagon or crossover) which is simply WAY less functional than a minivan.

Sometimes image is really important.
I'm a mid-forties dude...was with other mid-forties dudes and dudette's and we hopped into an Uber a few weeks ago to get across town.....every single one of us were all like...

"Damn......well this is nice...what kind of minivan is this and where would I obtain such a chariot?"

:homer:

My wife was curious about minivans when we were pregnant with out second. She lost interest when she saw the prices.

Minivan with all the seats ripped out would be a badass bike hauler.

How many monkeys have had a bike stolen out of the back of their "manly" trucks?

We might have a winner. XL Bronson was a bit small, but the angles and suspension design lines up with the Hightower LT. Poppy, flicky, able to manual out of the box, stable... Rode the XL Hightower 27.5+ around the lot and the fit works.

The Hightower LT is now above the Evil.

Goddamnit, my new bike is supposed to be here, and it isn't yet. Grumble.
Edit: so, the Rocky warehouse in SLC closed for four days to have a long holiday weekend.
Must be nice.
Shipping today or tomorrow.

A few big wigs of the company are in town visiting today and tomorrow. Let the dog and pony show begin...
You hanging with them?

If you think Trump is bad move to Poland. Our "Law and Justice" party just abolished separation between the Judiciary the Government. The minister of justice will not be able to fire judges and can control "cases important for the country". The worst part is our idiotic oposition still allows to talk only old politicians who think we need more privatisation, economic deregulation to fight with "socialist attacks". Yeah inequality is rising, people got pissed and they think Reagonomics is the solution in 2017 in Yurp ffs.

On the bright side my psychiatrist prescribed me meds again so I'm no longer angry at the above (or anything else).
Bag the fucking meds.

Internet still out at home. Been mowing lawn, moving dirt, drinking beer, and reading a book.

@SkaredShtles Continental Divide between Rabbit Ears and Buffalo Passes is still being cleared of trees by forest service. Supposedly will be clear by the weekend. No idea about Fish Creek though.

Still trying to work out how to get shuttled to Rabbit Ears on Friday (maybe) or Sunday. Wife and I will likely spend Saturday in the bike park. If no shuttle we'll likely do an out and back on the CDT from Rabbit.

Fortunately no. But did have to small talk chit chat while looking busier than I was during their tour of the building. Also had to attend a several hour long "town hall" meeting with all the other managers while the big wigs spouted their typical corporate praise and such.

Let's keep in touch...i still don't know when we are shuttling Rabbit Ears, but we would conceivably have room for a couple more.
