My father-in law the cheapest guy around!!

My dad and my father-in law were pretty much exact opposites when it came down to buying. My dad would go for the very best even if the item had to be special ordered he would do it. My FIL would do the opposite even if it meant driving around for a half day to get the "best deal"!!! My dads philosophy transferred down to me and is the reason I always shop for the best(yes, lot's of Sanp-on in my cabinet!!). In the long run I really fell it pays off and I just ran into a perfect example. The garden hose my dad bought in 1965 (I know he did it because I went with him to the hardware store to by it when we moved into the new house!!) Anyway, that was back in 1965 but, the very best in it's day!!!! My FIL's cheap vinyl garden hose only lasted 5 years max!! I always wondered why he wanted to complely drain the hose over winter!!

But seriously,   My hose was stolen, so I had to go out and buy a 1987 hose (high quality) so then I realized I needed another 40 feet So now mine has a pin hole that spews out a fine mist if I don't turn off the knob. What color is your hose ?   Red, Black or Green ? Do you also use the old-school ass nozzle ? I have 2, one standard size ass nozzle, then I found the smaller version so I bought it also.

You guys, talking about your hoses. Don't you normally tease Q for this type of thing?

Hopefully it doesn't turn other colors on it's end. Per CQ, you do have a tenacity to put it where you really shouldn't!!
