re: Buy once cry once: High quality items you spent decent money on that are worth it

Mine is 15 years old, BUT hasn't been able to run on auto for the last 9-10.
The control board had a problem and every Generac "Dealer" from Slidell to BR has told me its trash now and a new board will cost nearly $800. I've also had these "Dealers" each tell me several different things that are wrong with it, but aren't.

So, now I pull the fuse in the panel when not needed and manually start it when I do. Runs fine that way, but so does my Predator generator on wheels.

It’s crazy how little inflation has impacted tennis shoes. As a kid 20 years ago, $100 was the transition from reasonable to expensive running shoes, and that’s roughly still the limit. I always wanted New Balance 990s and they were in the $150 range back then.

There are some decent 2 piece production boats but there are so many they depreciate rapidly. I took a beating on these.

I paid a little more, designed it the way I wanted, had to wait a year to be built. The general boat market is crap right now but Pair still has a wait list. Low volume boats hold their value much better.

3 piece boats with a heavy layup schedule are so different than even a high end 2 piece as far as ride. I can’t make it shudder.

Have you been happy with your genny?

Absolutely. I live outside of Houston. Plumbed directly to my gas line.

Between the 2 weeks of no power after the derecho and 10 days after the hurricane, I love it like a son.

Had it now for 5 years. No problems. Paid for the professional install and maintenance - but there are no regrets when the power goes out.

is this the same thing as nor chill coolers?

In addition to quality firearms, I’d definitely say a quality scope. It sucks spending all the time and money hunting to finally get the chance to see a nice buck and not be able to make the shot because of poor optics.
