An old cheap dryer we got from Cowboy Maloney over a decade ago. It was supposed to just be a temporary dryer until we could afford a better one. 12 years later, still going strong. I don't even know what brand it is, but it's a trooper. Best $350 i ever spent.

50 inch Panasonic plasma tv bought in 2007. fricker works like a charm.

We have a 2008 Samsung plasma bigscreen that's going strong. Helps keep the room warm in winter - puts out a good bit of heat.

Also have a 1968 Sansui receiver/amp that I fire up once in a while. Some day I hope to restore the record player and reel-to-reel built into the same cabinet that my folks bought while stationed in Japan.

My Drake LSU shirts have held up incredibly well- I've had them since 2017 and they still look brand new.

My grandmother bought me a mini fridge for my dorm before I went off to college in 1994. It's still my beer fridge today.

The Army gave me two duffel bags in 1991. They still work as well as they did back then.

Sears Craftsman 16 Gallon Shop Vac I got back in the late 80's is still going strong and used a hell of a lot over the years between construction job sites and in my woodworking shop.

Damn thing is almost 40 years old and the only thing I've ever bought for it are replacement filters.

My snapper riding lawn mower is now 27 years old. I bought it used in 2013.




I have a mini fridge I pulled out of a 1989 Pursuit cuddy cabin when I sold the boat. It was a garage fridge for 13 years and now it's in my MIL's bedrioom as a diet coke fridge. I have a Makita 20v Li-ion drill/ impact kit bought around 2001, used for commercial framing for 8 more years and is still getting used weekly around the house.Probably have run in a million screws with the set and it keeps going. Best $300 I ever spent.

My grandfather has a green push mower he bought in 1974 that was used last week. Same motor snd blades he sharpens every few years. . No idea what brand it is( long faded) and he can’t remember. He just knows he brought it 4 years before I was born. In his words: “The damn thing still works and that son of a bitch will probably be working when I’m long gone.”

He’s 87.
