Welcome to my world, Joel.
From February through at least July, I have my Caravan packed with gear, uniforms..etc. They stay there, except to be cleaned and laundered. Already, since Febraury, I have racked up 5K on the van's odometer, and its primary usage is as an umpire vehicle now that the kids are pretty much grown. There are only three high schools that our association calls that are within 25 miles of my house, and I rarely call for any of them. Most of the schools that I work are at least 50 miles away, some as much as 80. Even the rec league ball that I am calling this year is 30 miles away. And of course, all of the weekend tournaments are way south of me in the Dallas Metroplex area. The closest of those is 50 miles south down 75.
If I didn't enjoy it so much....
Scott
