I think I have everything...

[slo8140]

Not sure if anyone else is in the same boat with me, but over the past two years I have been updating and adding to all of my umpire gear and uniforms...so much so that I do not think I need anything for the upcoming HS season. Kind of a weird feeling. I don't even really have a wish list right now..except to lose some weight...6 lbs down only 69 lbs to go...I am sure that something will come up that I cannot live without, but it is just weird for me to not be taking advantage of all of the good sales. I guess this way I might actually save a little money.

I think I am in the same boat. Have bought so much stuff that now I am watching sales go by!!!!

Must be a nice problem to have. It's quite possible that I could be running on one navy shirt and one pair of pants for the spring.

I have a wish list, but right now have some other priorities before I can buy what I want or need.

Generally every year Ill get new caps, every other year new pants, socks constantly, under gear constantly, shoes every other year, then equipment as needed. One thing that has surprisingly made it onto my wish list is the All-Star MVP4000UMP:TI After my Interview with Mike Di Muro and his testimonial I may look into that, but for the immediate time I'm fine with my traditional mask.

slo,

Keep up the work on loosing weight and you'll have new gear to buy soon enough. As for you have "everything". It maybe true you have everything you "need" now how about everything you want???? Or is everything the way you want them? Once i got all of my gear i started to buy back ups also i would customize my stuff to me. Stuff i didn't want to try when i only had one set of gear. Also I know I buy new books for my library, hats, nike compression dryfit socks, umpire care products, and i look at the condition of my under armor every year. These things fall apart fast when you do 100+ games a year. Next thing i do is continue to build my "main bag" and back up bag for the office. Also things that you may not think of but are helpful a home steamer (don't have to dry clean my poly/wools anymore!) a trunk organizer, a nice folding garment bag. Also if you have "everything" beyond a shadow of a doubt, my suggestion would be tally up what you save and put it towards a clinic or camp to advance yourself.

just my $0.02
