Ok, I'm jumping ahead a bit in the timeline with this post. I feel an explanation is due regarding the name of BoB.
It has been at least a couple months since we took delivery of the van. I had the fan in the roof, most of the insulation in, and the plywood floor down. It had seen a few weekend trips as an iron tent on wheels; just throw in a cot, cooler, and bike for me or dog crates for her.
It was just "the van". Who is taking "the van" this weekend? What's next on the work list for "the van"?
I think it was a night out for burgers where we were talking about names for "the van". I don't remember any of the ideas tossed around, but there were some oddballs, along with some plain names. At one point I tossed out "Bob". Since we had a few names that were acronyms I worked on coming up with something for "Bob".
Not too long later I said "bikes or bitches".
Yes, "bitches". Its not a 'bad word' when you're in the dog world. Simply a female dog. And since all three of our dogs are female, its all bitches. (its also entertaining to listen to a bunch of ladies at a dog event talking about "their bitches")
We laughed about it for awhile, but then realized... it works! But it needed capitalization.
Bikes or Bitches. Just depended on who was using it for the weekend. Bike trips for me, dog agility weekends for her. This was also a driving force in the floorplan and overall layout.
Since then, we have quite casually referred to the van as "BoB".
