You really are a junkie although some of this I would not count. For example, I never go anywhere with pants on without chapstick in my pants pocket.

And where do you put the chapstick when you don't have pants on?

OK, OK, I'll go back and cut out some of the supplies.

For all the equipment junkies. New balance has the 450 for $87.99 and free shipping. I think it said till Dec. 12th but I'm not sure. Anyway, last month was the same price but shipping was not free. Good luck.

Damn! I already have two pairs, and can't justify a third. That's a great price, too. This is a gear junkie dilemma: should I buy something I already have tow of just because the price is terrific, or should I pass. Being a gear junkie is not fun at times.

Do any of your equipment bags hold your chest protector? Or do you have a separate bag for it or carry it separately?

[johnnyg08]

kind of...i put it over the top of my shins. i have the diamond bag

[Kevin Finnerty]

Platinum lays down on the bottom with the shoulders folded up one side, and the leg guards go along the other edge with the plate shoes, mask and HSM in between.

It all fits in the bottom half of the Diamond bag, which I also swear by.

I just ordered the West Vest Platinum and a pair of NB 350 base shoes from ump-attire, just over $200 shipped.

Excellent job! You'll love them both. The 350s are very light, have nice cushioning, and look nice and shiny with a little hair spray.

[Kevin Finnerty]

I swear; just spray the NBs with water or some mild solution like Murphy's Oil Soap & water, wipe them off with a towel, and spray them generously with Dove extra hold pump spray. They look beautiful and it could not be easier or more economical.

I'll have to look into that. I got them Monday, but haven't touched them since I'm studying for final exams. Do you use Leather Luster on them at all? or just murphy's oil?

[Kevin Finnerty]

The Murphy's cleans well, as does scrubbing bubbles. But the hair spray makes them shine more than the original low-maintenance finish.
