Who wants a fixed dirty old and rusting BBQ? Usually you
end up having to spend $50 on a replacement carbourator
for it in the spring (bugs like to get in it over winter).
But when you can get a new one for $50 more (or less)?

Or use a 2 second blast from the air compressor.

All kinds of nasty things happen to a bbq carbourator over a
cdn winter. Believe me, if only it were that simple...

My wife once bought a toaster when the cashier asked if
she wanted a protection plan for it. She said something to
the effect "Are you kidding me?!?! Why would I want the
crummy old one fixed? I'd rather get a new [clean] one!"

Because the new one will last half as long?

For toasters, I'm with her on this one. Do you think that
protection plan will make your toaster last longer?

I'm inclined to keep things more than my wife does. But if
it smacks of needing cleaning or has "somebody else's
germs on it" (used), then I've come to know where that is
headed. $$


Not me, but then, that allowed me to retire early.

Either you have a "optimum wife" or you're single. ;-)
