Carried a tank on my back today..

..and boy is my back tired..

Ok.. not so much, it's just a cardboard cat playhouse, but the Mission Workshop Vandal backpack is earning its steep price! The elastic strap held it in place for my 10 mile ride without a hitch.

I am impressed with that pack. I could have used that when I had to transport my car bike rack with me on my bike a few days ago.

Where do you get a cardboard cat Tank playhouse? Thats pretty funny.

That's cool. My cats still like the box their cat tree/condo came in too much for me to get rid of.
