Never throw stuff away.

[Keithr0]

I have a pressure washer, a small one made by Karcher. It does what I
need around the house, I bought it about 3 years ago when the previous
similar model had an internal derangement and the magic smoke escaped
(electricity is a myth, "Electric" devices run on magic smoke which is
why they no longer work when it escapes). I did, though, keep the high
pressure hose when the carcass went to the tip. Then, about a month ago,
I was cleaning out the garden shed, I found the hose and wondered why I
was keeping it, so off to the tip it went with the other junk.

Today, I was pressure washing some of the pavers when the pressure
suddenly dropped, the hose had sprung a leak. So off to Bunnings and
part with a lot of dollars for a replacement (plus the other stuff that
the wife saw there and decided that we needed.

Bugger!

LOL, know what you mean, I threw out truck loads of things like that
when I moved house.
