I don't drive to games. I either take public transit, walk or get someone else to drive. Mainly cause I don't have a car, but have often been known that if I have a bad game I will tend to walk home.

After washing my clothing, I air dry everything except my socks. Things seem to last longer. I do dryclean my wool blend pants.

That's crazy quirky!

I always bring two indicators, two pencils and two pens to the field; and I always bring two masks, two cups, two pairs of plate shoes; two pairs of base shoes and two pairs of plate pants to every game. I once had both laces on my plate shoes break (one after another) in one sitting. I carried my backup pair with me ever since, rather than leaving them on a shelf in the closet. Also, if you don't have time between games, a second pair is always clean and shiny.

I think loaner is the guy who takes the bus dressed for the plate.

I carry two of everything I have broken, lost, misplaced, torn or forgotten at least once. And I always have plenty of stuff to lend to a partner---except cups and caps, baby. Cups and caps, you're on your own. (And hopefully my extra shoes are too big.)

So you would make your partner work w/o a cap?

It has been my experience that a back-up pair of shoe laces is lighter and takes up less space in my bag, than a spare pair of shoes....

If everything is two by two, might it then be inferred that everything is unclean? I guess carrying seven and seven indicators would be a bit bulky in the ol' ball bag though.
