    Online dating

    Guess I shouldn't be too smug as I'll be in that situation shortly. Found spouse was seeing a coworker on the sly (hiding texts and phone from me for no reason...well there was a reason, which I just found out last night). I wasn't angry. She's done this years ago with another buddy of mine...

    Best lube for refrigerator door hinges?

    Coconut oil. Heat a tablespoon/teaspoon amount in a small dish. Then, dribble the oil over the hinge while opening and closing the fridge door. Did this once several years ago on a very squeaky deep freeze lid with metal hinges. Still haven't heard a single peep/squeak from it.

    UPDATE: 2011 F150 3.5 Ecoboost at 239,000 miles

    Yes, great job Ford. Drilling holes in the intercooler to get rid of the "condensation" (which is mostly oil) as it builds up, is perfectly normal.
