the sun shone a little brighter today, the birds chirped a little louder, stud accepted an offer on his house, mosquitos aren’t out yet, the air was crisp, txleaguer has his team in the top ten, it’s pool season, the days are getting longer, school is almost out, stud had sects (with his wife), people are smiling, trump is making this country great again, dip has been too busy to post, butterfly’s are flying, beer is cold....
and most importantly, baseball is back....best day of the year....rangers are going to suck this year, but it doesn’t matter...Joey gallo gave stud jr his bat and all is right with the world....

How about the CUBBIES lead off hitter smoking the first pitch of the first game smooth over the RF fence?!?!?!

Wife and I are taking a road trip this summer, hoping to catch a few games along the way.

I've often thought about getting out. But have always worried about what I'm qualified to do and if I would miss it. definitely my two biggest concerns. I love coaching, hate teaching and don't make enough to do the things I want to do. on the other hand what good is money with no time to spend it? nothing else offers the kind of time off we get. I want something I can do part time in the offseason and make about 1k a month off the top. that would do it for me. |

I've gotten out and made a little more coin. I also had to work in the summer while my wife and kids were off. There are things about this gig that drive me crazy, but we do make a difference, fellas, and Lady.

There are things about this gig that drive me crazy, but we do make a difference, fellas, and Lady. I think I'm in that jaded mindset right now, for better or worse, that I don't owe anyone anything anymore. I've been at this long enough, been disrespected enough times by parents and dealt with enough clueless admin to know we are fighting a losing battle. maybe I'll get that save the world crap back in me at some point, but lately I've been about me more than them. Cue up the holier than thou nonsense.... |

I've been feeling some of that myself, FBS. The hours we invest are absolutely insane. I have also dealt with things that you have and if it gets bad enough, I'll do something else within the system. I'm too, not to or two, close to full retirement.

I'm too, not to or two, close to full retirement. see I'm not. I'm 13 in, so it's gonna be a while. I just lay out the pros and cons of this thing and right now the pros still have it. the millisecond that it goes the other way, I'm out. Let someone else save the world. |

I've often thought about getting out. But have always worried about what I'm qualified to do and if I would miss it. thats the problem.....your mindset...you can do anything you want to do.... stud had the same mindset and kicks himself all of the time for that....stud grew up in a household that made between 70-80 a year and thought that was the way it was supposed to be....there is nothing wrong with that....but there are a lot of people out there that make that by june....don't let yourself think you're not good enough to do something different.... you could also do like diesel and ease your way into real estate or something like that until you were comfortable enough to make the leap.... on the other hand.....stud would say the best advice mrs stud ever gave him was to make sure he was done when he walked away from coaching.....on the bus drive home from our first scrimmage of 2013 stud knew he was done.... I want to be a doctor. can I be a doctor? |

I want to be a doctor. can I be a doctor? stud would trust you more with open heart surgery than he would teaching someone football..... turns out that would be a mistake. |

also....stud got into coaching because it seemed like a fun way to make money and make a difference.....he told himself and mrs stud if it ever became a job to him, he was done...if he was going to wake up in the morning and dread going to work then he was at least going to make a little money doing so.... it got to be a job...it wasn't fun anymore....that was the overall reason.... good stuff. |

I understand that as well. I've thought about coaching something else...
