For George Shattuck --

 

Your new hoses look very good.  I'm curious, though, as to why you would use the hose material with a five-year life rather than the newer stuff that is teflon lined and is supposed to have a much longer life.  At least, that's what it looked like in the pictures -- please correct me if I am wrong. 

 

This really is an honest question.  No snideness is intended.  The new hoses look excellent.  I just figured that teflon lined hoses would take the same amount of time to make, cost about the same, but last much longer.  On the other hand, you sure got a heck of a lot more than five years out of your last ones before they needed replacement...
