Just How Anal are you......... d;-)

[Gulf Coast Blue]

OK........

I have spent the better part of the afternoon preparing to travel 300+ miles to umpire in an ASA State tournament......

I have umpired several before and even called in a few National Invitionals..........

BUT.........this is the furthest I have traveled in my umpiring........

As I have posted before.........(maybe NOT on this board)..........I am a bit anal about my gear and what I bring to tournaments I call...........

Here is my list that I will be taking with me this weekend:

1-LW Wilson Mask
1-Above Knee All-Star Shin Guards
1-Knee Only All-Star Shin Guards
1-Ump20 Chest Protector
1-Honigs K-2 Chest Protector

6 ASA caps:
2-4 stitch
2-6 stitch
2-8 stitch

6 Powder Blue Shirts:
4-ASA
2-Plain(TASO)

4 Navy Blue Polyester Slacks
2-Plate
2-Field

2-Intera-wear Girdles with cup holder
2-flex belts
3-pair base shoes
1-pair plate shoes
6-pair navy socks
1-large shoe brush
1-small shoe brush
2-bottles black shoe dye/polish

2-extra pair shoe-laces
2-ball bags

2-+pos wooden plate brushes
1-Honig's plate scraper plate brush

3-bottles Spirits of Ammonia (Thanks to Mike Rowe and SteveM)
1/2 dozen hand towels for wetting

This is my summer tournament package.......

Many times........I am 25 miles or closer to home.......so the list is moot..........but when I travel.........I usually bring this with me...........

I hope that you will not think me much of a Dweeb from now on........BUT.......

Better safe than sorry..............
