A hose in shining armor...

[4est_4est_Gump]

No shit.

This new-age hose craze has gone back to the future...

First was the flex hose that almost puts itself up when you stop using it. They were good for about two months worth of use.

Now I have second generation soft hoses that do not put themselves up, but are not as fragile but still lightweight and easy to handle and don't kink and bind like traditional hose.

I'm watching the good morning news and they're advertising a hose made out of 404 steel. They're hitting with nails, letting a rottweiler use it as a chew toy, telling us that it will never get hot or tarnish, or anything.

But will it slay a dragon and capture wild unicorns?

Finest kind!

I bought a couple of "contractor grade" heavy-duty hoses for use on a job back in 1998.


I have had to repair one of them, but I still have them both, and they both work as intended.

I have some really heavy hose that I use to water the garden for the two months here that there is little rain...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

That's what this is for.


I don't bring it in for winter, either.


In fact, other than not mowing it, I rarely am nice to it at all.


But it keeps on working . . . .

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Exactly!



And I keep ours coiled around a large storage bin to keep the Queen from mowing it.


She's already mowed one of her brand-new outdoor lights.

I mowed an azalea once.


I had hoped that it would simply consider it as Extreme Pruning.


Dead as a doornail it was, sad to say.


I mourn it still . . . .

They are hard to keep nice-looking.


They require extensive pruning or the wood to flower ratio gets really whack.


I just don't have that much time...

Mom and I have a Mother's Daty date to do mine next weekend.


The Favored Son got the actual day, so I got the leftovers.


Whic worked out, since I have too much real shit to ponder and prepare for over then next few days.


We'll prune, and then I transplant later in the year.

Don't forget it will roto-rooter a downspout as well.

There's still a strip to be mown around her Azalea as well.

I had a hunch Wat would be posting tits in this thread.
It paid off.

Metallurgy is hard and shit.

Well don't keep us in suspense...which one feels best up your ass?

 

[Ms_Ann]

My shower hose is stainless. The plastic ones suck...but I'm sure that hose you're talking about still has a tygon core.
