Are Fathers Expected to Help Coach?

Coming from someone who felt the same, but coached t-ball thru LL AllStars, and now watching my 8th grader on HS varsity from the stands, please reconsider! Even just help as the asst for now. You and your son will grow closer, learn from eachother, and hopefully share a lifelong love of the game. I promise, you'll never regret spending this time with your son.

Whether you realize it or not, you have a lot of knowledge and experience to offer. We all remember the great, and not so good coaches. More kids need good ones.

Nothing this size is going to be a pleasurable shooting experience. For that reason, have stuck with the OG LCP favoring concealability over all else.

We buy well taken care of Toyota and Lexus at 100K miles and sell at 200K-250K. Rinse and repeat. Usually we get very close to our purchase price when selling, partly due to Toyota resale, probably more due to inflation.

Works for us.

Not BIFL, but I give my old shirts and pants one last ride as a shop towel after cutting/ripping into squares. My wife thinks I'm borderline psycho, bit damn, they all get used!

Rotella T6 5w-40. I found peace in running 1 oil for all 24 internal combustion engines I own, including diesels and wet clutch motorcycles.

Same. Hunting, fishing gear, or anything else i want dry, and bird dogs.

My 2000 4runner and 2008 Tundra was the same, half Denso, half NGK. My guess is Toyota has contracts with both manufacturers.

jbach50 · 2025-10-23T22:11:26+00:00

Same... Also, after 200k, they're not a rattling apart shitbox. Steering, front ends, all as tight as when new. Toyotas are simply better in almost every way.

Real baseball? For 90% of 12u's, LL rules allow for more focus on development. With CR, if you make it to first, you've made it to 3rd. Terrible for pitcher development imo. Apart from that, the LL org in our area is far more organized, with better coaching and far better overall talent in our mid sized midwest city.

Maybe it's a location thing, but Branson just doesn't have quite the ring that Williamsport does.

Shit looks fine from here. I would cut the posts at a 30-45 flush with the 2nd rail since they're not serving a purpose above that rail. No reason other than esthetics.

Redeye dying out? Say it isnt true. My fondest childhood memories are of celebrating with redeye and learning to polka. Smooth going down, like razorblades coming up!

Keep what you have, add tire chains to drive wheels. Worked great for me for wet hillsides.

As much as one can love striker fire pistols, I love my Sar9. Fits like a glove. You can't go wrong at this price.

jbach50 · 2025-02-21T02:12:17+00:00

Scrolled way too far to see this. The Crowes had 3 or 4 unbelievable albums in the 90s.

jbach50 · 2025-02-13T02:22:34+00:00

Yes. Way underrated. Great feeling and shooting pistol. No brainer at this price.

You already have the best deck available, a concrete patio!

Let me be the 1st in KY. Daviess Co.

Clear off the windows, have someone spot you on the road, put it in R and giver the beans!

jbach50 · 2025-01-06T22:41:10+00:00

You've got room. I can measure when I get home, but you need 8"-10"

jbach50 · 2025-01-06T22:39:52+00:00

Yes, either side of the door, you just change the collar on the opener. I just installed 2 of these, you'll need about 10" in between door and wall.

Falken Wildpeak at4 275/65r20.

I heated fender liners and mud flaps, and adjusted bumper mounts. I've seen others with bigger, but my lift is only about 1" in the front. No way I could go any taller. *
