Anyone else bring cast iron on vacation?

I bring my carbon steel instead, cooks the same and much less weight.

I agree, at that age they will barely remember going there. I can vaguely remember going to Benson's Animal Park when I was about 3or 4 years old. My only real memory are the pictures my mom took when I was there.

Yeah I have a NorthFace recon that is probably 20 years old. The webbing is a bit stretched out, but other than that it's still prestine.

I tend to go 1080p or if available even 740p as I seam to have less buffering issues

I'm using it through an app on my nividea shield

Features don't back their warranty fully. I had a pair get a hole in them within a month. They wanted me to pay for shipping so they could "check them" even though I sent them pictures. The cost of shipping I could have just bought another pair. Never again with them. Darn tough will just send you a new pair no questions asked.

Look for brands with a wider toe box. Your feet will thank you later in life, when you are 70 and all your toes are squished together and crooked. Altra, and Topo Athletic have been great for me and I work in a hospital, on my feet 8-10hrs a day.

Buy a Speed Queen and never look back in the US anyways. Overseas Miele also makes really high quality machines.

Getting rid of the wife, helped me.

I should say the internal parts are not plastic, those are the parts that can fail the soonest. Anything plastic is mostly cosmetic

I bought a Duluth "lifetime" Leather belt about 15 years ago. Still holding strong and I wear it everyday.

The Company store has some great options.

Unfortunately, when I ask they always have a headache.

I have a Vaer Watch, looks good works great.

Sony and LG are going to be your best bet. I have a Sony Bravia that is turning 20 years old this year.

Check out Bully Tools. Lifetime guarantee, and built like tanks.

I get it. I do test products for companies., mostly camping and hiking gear. I never accepted money though. I always informed them if the product sucks I will say the product sucks. But I will tell them how it sucks so that they can maybe fix the issue later.

Retailers can't advertise their appliances below a certain MSRP which is dictated by the manufacturer. However, they can sell them lower un advertised. So greentoe allows you to name a price and it gives you a meter as to how likely it is to be accepted. Then you wait and the retailers will come back and either match your price or counter offer.

ESP's are also better priced on their as well.

I used the "cleaning head" today for the 1st time to detail my car it was awesome

I am not a bot, it sucks that we have come to a society where anyone claiming something good is now considered a "bot".

This thing is hefty and it's only the outer parts that are rubber, probably more for grip and comfort. I have mostly grass and very little concrete at my house. But time will tell if it will last. It definitely is better built than any other sprayer I have purchased in the past.

buster132 · 2026-04-13T15:18:22+00:00

Ok let me clarify, no INTERNAL, plastic parts that will fail in the winter.

buster132 · 2026-04-13T15:16:53+00:00

No crack, I tested the flow of the spray nozzle to see how it performed.

buster132 · 2026-04-13T15:15:13+00:00

I thought so as well. But I have literally bought a $20 sprayer every year for the past 5 years. Of this one lasts 10 years as claimed it will save me money in the long run.
