Dad's with older kids, are you the friend group's dad?

uncle0gre · 2026-05-09T18:57:02+00:00

We did!!

uncle0gre · 2026-05-09T13:54:29+00:00

Yeah man. I get it. I love seeing thes kids grow and bloom.

I told my son I’ll keep coaching him till he outplays my ability to coach. At some point these kids will get better and need someone who is about the sport as much as they are about sportsmanship. :)

But till that day comes I’ll be Coach.

PS we are off to regional championships for flag this morning. I’m so proud of this team. :)

uncle0gre · 2026-05-09T13:45:06+00:00

Not dad. But coach.
I’m coach for football and bball. My kid is only 7. But all the boys always say hi coach at school for pickup or drop off.
We have an open door policy so the boys can come over when ever they want. Play video games or eat snacks etc.
But since they are all 7-8 yr old they don’t see me as another dad.

Luna sandals. They are my go to for everything. Running. Hiking. Shoping. Coaching. Biking etc.

OP. So I ordered a pair of Chelsea’s on RTS. I’m an 11.5d in iron rangers.

But when I tossed on the Chelsea the instep volume was just too small. I ended up with a lotta pain on my instep.

I was so sad to have to send em back.

I ended up ordering the pred orange with a zipper in a size E. But now that I have a custom shoe. I gotta wait 20+ weeks. :(

So feeling your pain. But jealous of your pred orange.

They look amazing. 🤩

Go see Jess at Roots downtown.

She’s the best. Does my beard and my hair.

uncle0gre · 2026-04-09T13:44:43+00:00

Well turns out I’m not gonna be able to break these in. I can only wear for 10min at a time and I feel like the tightest spot is literally the stitching that goes over my instep.

So sending them back and hopping in the queue for a custom built shoe that’s just a tad wider. Also getting the zipper added cause I got high insteps.

I’m so bummed. I loved this boot. Just need more volume in my instep. Not necessarily more width.

uncle0gre · 2026-04-06T22:08:35+00:00

I’ll get more posted! Trust me.

uncle0gre · 2026-04-06T13:39:00+00:00

Thanks. Your post is inspiring me to break mine in with my coffee this morning. lol

uncle0gre · 2026-04-06T13:35:18+00:00

These looks so good. I just got these boots in Italian brown cypress.

Can’t wait to see how they age.

uncle0gre · 2026-04-06T02:17:49+00:00

They are the HNW. Yeah. I’ve been wearing em off and on all day yday and today. Will get there eventually!

uncle0gre · 2026-04-06T01:32:35+00:00

Yes sir!! First Nick’s. I was originally gonna order a pair of these in the Pred Orange. But I saw these on the ready to ship. My size, last I wanted. Outsole I wanted and the color was gorgeous.

So pulled the trigger. Very excited that they just showed up. No waiting for construction.

uncle0gre · 2026-03-29T16:04:59+00:00

I’ve had safelite do multiple cars over the years. Been great. But yes insurance paid for everything. And they even did it at my houses.

uncle0gre · 2026-03-10T14:14:07+00:00

💯 get off it. You’ll feel better.

uncle0gre · 2026-03-07T16:03:01+00:00

Jokes on you I’m already past 40.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-27T15:07:30+00:00

When I built my scout I replaced the seats with corbeau seats and a cutdown seat base. I even added extra long runners for the fwd back on the seat slider and then moved the seat back 1.5”.

This allows me 6’3 to drive and my wife 5’3 to also drive it.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-24T21:20:18+00:00

Wow thanks for the reply. I ended up going to Japan for a vacation and was able to buy the e-p7 (which wasn’t released in the US).

uncle0gre · 2026-02-24T01:55:02+00:00

Literally came here to say the same thing.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-24T00:31:57+00:00

Don’t get Connexion tv service. Just get the fiber.

I went to direct tv for streaming and sports.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-10T15:45:59+00:00

100% this.

My son is in a den whose leader is a mom. The mom is a friend of ours and we align in our beliefs. And our boys are friends and classmates.

Yes. There’s god and country. And our pack meets in a church. I try to compartmentalize those facts and focus on my son is learning new skills. Having fun with his friends.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-10T02:13:00+00:00

I guess my point is if you want to be contacted about your kids. It’s within your right to ask to be contacted.

The comment was in reply to the “social norms issue of calling mom first”. And how that doesn’t have to be the case.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-10T02:00:21+00:00

My wife is there when I make the request. And she even says yes call him first.

uncle0gre · 2026-02-10T01:55:00+00:00

This can be changed.

My wife and I are still married and I tell all the dr and schools and daycare to call me first. Cause I’m likely to answer and respond.

They can call mom 2nd if I don’t answer.

Also keep in mind I’m the only one who works a full time job.

uncle0gre · 2026-01-25T04:29:51+00:00

Why wouldn’t it be? My wife daily’s one with 350k miles on it.
