I bought 2 of these about a month ago and I like them so far (granted, it's only been 2 months). Quality, durable product. Self winding feature is clutch if you use all 100ft.I have had a black hose from Sears that is awesome and has not rotted or cracked. Don't know if same style as linked but can check later.
Speaking of hoses, I need a new good hose reel. I have an Ames but it is leaking.
$1.50 1/4 lb Hot Dog w/drink or a $1.99 large slice of pizza on the way out..It's not literally correct but Costco has no equal in terms of product selection. There was a great CNBC doc from a couple years back on how they run their business.Not sure how its possible for a company to do that much rightCostco..... Everything they sell is awesome. Love me some Costco.

I have 2 and love them. However, one is one our patio right by the grill and the water that spits out when you auto-reel it in - gets all around a heavy traffic area.

What do you need to know other than it works really well, but there's not a chance I'd ever pay for one myself?? It wasn't an exaggeration when someone said you could leave a beer in it just about all afternoon and it'd still be cold several hours later. That's true even in the summer sun of the FL Keys.Someone needs to report back on the 35 koozie. I laughed at you guys when you bought the $100 hoodies, and the $50 underwear, but this is something I might be onboard for.
Do the Yeti hats prevent you from getting too hot? In trying to think of why so many people in FL wear hats advertising the name of a cooler. Then again, its FL...
8 cartridges = $21. No.Starting to rethink the shave secret.
1. Yes, it is a noticeably closer shave, but the improvement I got switching from my Mach 3 to the Shick! Hydro 5 with electric vibrating goodness was a more noticeable improvement. Plus I'm not convinced that the oil doesn't give a false sense of closeness.
2. I think it might clog my blades fast, and that's going to be a deal breaker for me.
Anyone else have this clogging issue with the Shave Secret?
Oh yeah, the Shick! is the schnizzle. I believe in that product.
Point taken on the other apps, but I prefer the Roku over the Chromecast in about every other way.I
- Google Chromecast. I also have a Roku, which is nice and flashy, but the Chromecast is usually so much faster and is compatible with my...other apps
It's all rubber but I've had no problem with it. I had a hose by Good Year all rubber and it wasn't near as good. Plus like I said you can always bring it back if it fails no receipt doesn't matter.Awesome, thanks! I might go pick that up today. No worries about dry rot with it being all rubber? From the picture it looks like it has a plastic coating or some kind of sheen which makes me think it's different than the one I ended up taking back to Home Depot because it was all rubber. As in made by Continental and looked like they just melted up some tires.Sure do. Sears all rubber hose. I have 5 of these for my yard. It's all I use. Never kinks and lifetime warranty with Sears.Does anyone have a garden hose or brand they'd recommend? I bought one 2 years ago from Sears and finally just threw it out because of the kinking and inability to roll it up nicely. I also had one of those expandable As Seen on TV hoses, which burst after about a month. I'm thinking if I just get a decent one at Home Depot for $35+ it should last and not give me any problems. I'm going to need one pretty soon. 50 ft should be fine, but 75 ft would probably be better.

They will cut the slice in half if you ask. I get that and my daughter splits them both with me.$1.50 1/4 lb Hot Dog w/drink or a $1.99 large slice of pizza on the way out..
Not really seeing this one either. Getting just as much irritation as I do without using a shave oil. May have to go back to expensive Truefitt Shave Oil, Will up the amount and see how it goes.I have a clogging issue with SS. I used the product twice and shelved it. I somehow cut myself on both shaves too, which I rarely ever do. Based on the unanimously awesome reviews here, I chalked it up to my own user error and moved on.Starting to rethink the shave secret.

I've had 2 or 3 of the pieces of junk explode too.Have one of the higher end hoses that has lasted well when on a reel.
But I have actually had great luck with my expandable hose...no issues from it at all.
You are crazyOtis said:These Clark's shoes I bought on the Righetti recommendation are pretty crappy. I mean, I didn't pay much for them, but they're the same as the other crappy shoes I spend under a hundred bucks for (Kenneth Cole), actually, not even as good as my usuals. I was expecting these to have extra cushioning or something and be super comfortable.
Agree 100%.The General said:For frequent flyers TSA Precheck or even better but a bit more of a pain a NEXUS/Global Entry card which gets you TSA Precheck and expedited customs process when traveling internationally.

Have a question for you SSD guys. I have a Lenovo thinkpad that's 4 years old. It's starting to slow down a bit. Looking on ebay, I think I can get $150ish for it. I basically use it for web browsing and microsoft office stuff.Best upgrade you can do to a computer.YESSSD hard drives

I put this one in my wife's laptop that is about 4 years old. Made a huge difference in performance. 120 GB is small in today's standards but I wiped her old hard drive and turned it into a nice little external hard drive that she only uses to store files.

Would it be worth while dropping $200 on a SSD, or just selling this computer and getting a new one for $800ish?
Will the SSD make that big of a difference?

Course they sell 250GB -1TB SSDs as well.
Used just for web browsing and office.. you'll see a big difference. Everything will launch faster.
it comes with an installation disk that guides you through the cloning process. There are also youtube vids showing the install into a laptop. And IIRC there are written instructions from one of the commentors on the amazon ratings page for the SSD. It is easy to set up.thx.

The thing I really cannot stand about jackets are the high necks and that gets around it. But, I live in a city where I mostly just wear an overcoat the few weeks a year I need a jacket. So YMMV, just been very impressed with how functional it is.Detest the look of these type of jacketsSlapdash said:Not sure its longevity, but I bought a Hawke foldable jacket with down feathers and this thing is ####### awesome, Super light, yet pretty warm.

Not a specific product, but you can get way more shaves out of each blade by doing this:I like the Cremo shaving cream referenced in here. Using Dorco blades (they supply Dollar Shave Club but you can buy direct) and a good shave.
If I make sure to dry the blade after using I am getting 5-7 shaves out of each blade.

I don't have a problem with it on dress shirts either. Now, if they are balled up in a corner somewhere for a long period of time, then there's an issue, but not typically.That is what I want to use if for.Wrinkle release guy here as well.
