Best or Worse Buys

So, what have your best or worst buys been? Past or present? What makes them great or garbage?



Best buy: A 1997 HD Lowrider - I customized it and sold for double two years later. My Leatherman, goes everywhere with me

Worst buy: Clothes my wife buys me and says would look good and I should try them on. I only wear Levi jeans, black T shirts, denim snap button shirts and Red Wing boots. (even to church) You'd think she'd learn after all these years. :rolleyes:
A total work out gym my wife always wanted. Big waste of money that was.


Whats your story?

Best buy there are many but my Marlin model 60 for $50 is the first thing that comes to mind


Worst buy: my first wife.can I count that?

Vehicle wise:
Best buy - 1976 FJ40 Toyota Lancruizer. Spent two years rebuilding it from the ground up into an outstanding off-road survival vehicle.

Worst buy- 2003 F550 Ford with 6.0 L diesel engine. Spent the last two years on the ground underneath it. Terrible engine.

Best this week. 100 lbs of cracked wheat for $30. 100 lbs of potato's for $9. 100 lbs of dry land pinto beans for $20

Worst this week. TDW and TGF bought me a pink dress shirt, with matching pink tie(this will teach me to go camping without them). 600 lbs of Aims dog food for $100 that my dog will not go near.

Don,

Off topic a bit, but where do you store 100 lbs of potatoes and keep them from going bad?

Aurelius, a root cellar works well for potatoes. Just keep them in a dark cook place. Some Mother Earth News article mentioned covering them with dry sand in the cellar/basement.
I find that after 2 weeks on my kitchen floor the potatoes tend to get dry and wrinkly, however that does not affect the taste.

Best buy, I would have to say a Ka-bar knife I picked up in an military surplus when I was still in high school some 35+ years ago. I still have that knife and if it could talk, it could recall some mighty fine stories.

Worst buy, well it would be hard to say as there have been quite a few of them, but off the top of my head, probably an old Buick I bought in the 70s that had to be the worst car I have ever owned.

Best buy: same rifle I was discussing earlier, the Lee Enfield .303, bought one when I was 12 or 13 at a pawn shop for $10. Sold it when I moved to Vancouver when I was 17 for $125, used it every fall in between and brought home meat for my Mom. I've owned a few more of them since then, these are also very good trade items by the way,if you're up north among some reservations

Worst buy: well if it says anything about exercise equipment on it, it probably rusted on the spot. That old saying about the spirit is willing but the flesh is watching a movie (or something like that, right?)

Treadmills make excellent clothes racks. My (wife's) worst buy.

Best buy was an aluminum body lawn mower with mulcher and bagger for $150. Ace was going out of business. That was almost 20 years ago and it still runs just fine. Knock on wood!!!!!

Have to go with you on that treadmill. I forgot about that, but I can't entirely blame the wife on it. We really did use it the first year we had it and used it very well.
It is now a very expensive clothes rack.

I find that they tend to sprout or grow, or whatever it is that potatoes do in the dark. Does that happen in a root cellar?

It's the temp that triggers them to start growing. Keep them cool and you can prolong their "dormant" state. If they get too cold, like in a fridge, the starches will convert to sugar. They need to be in a cool, dark, well ventilated place for storing.

sounds a bit like my dressing habits. i'm not so picky but it's -by a large majority- black cotton slacks and a black tee.

my bike was an inheritance so technically i've only dropped about $1000 on it, and most of that was San Fran vehicle return fees and parking tickets.
