    It's getting hot in here!

    This time of year, my article on servicing and recharging your Focus' Air Conditoner gets really popular. A few people have emailed asking me where they could find the kit I used in my article. I used the Interdynamics Arctic Freeze Recharge Kit when performing this hack on my own Focus, and the included UV Pen light and re-usable trigger-and-gauge assembly has allowed me to help quite a few other local folks recharge their A/C - It even came in handy for my wife's Explorer a few summers ago. It's cheaper on Amazon, but I've seen it (and compatible refill canisters of refrigerant) at almost all the local automotive parts places: Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly and AutoZone for example. Enjoy, and stay cool!

    Migration success...

    If you see this, I guess my server migration worked as planned.

    Some small tweaks...

    I made some changes to the site that will hopefully make navigation and searching easier. Mostly, article titles show up in the browser title and URL. I hope this makes pages a little easier to find, as I've got quite a few articles now. Prior to this, it looked like most searches were landing users on my giant "All Hacks" index, making things kind of clunky and hard to find.

    Finally getting around to adding some more stuff

    I've been a little more active on the tech forums over at Focaljet. I'll try to start adding more articles soon.

    That was fun! Thanks!

    I actually went out and had a blast with a bunch of Focus friends yesterday.

    We got a few more to join us after dark. This is about the only picture I got that turned out okay.
    Also, I just added instructions for Tie Rod Ends and I could really use some tips for newer Foci. I can't believe I've already had mine for more than 8 years!
