The week we had three separate AOG calls for the same part number

It was a Monday in Tulsa when the first one came in, a flap actuator on a Citation. By Wednesday, we had two more from different operators, all with the same failed bearing. The shop floor looked like a parts graveyard for one specific component. Has anyone else seen a weird cluster of identical failures like that?

Just realized using chicken thighs instead of breasts in my go-to salsa chicken makes it way better

I've been making the same salsa chicken recipe for years, just dumping a jar of salsa and some chicken breasts in the crockpot. It was fine, but sometimes a bit dry. Last week I grabbed a pack of boneless, skinless thighs on sale and used those instead. The difference was huge! The thighs stayed super moist and shred so much easier after 6 hours on low. It's the same 3 ingredient recipe, just a different cut. Anyone have other simple swaps like this that improved a basic recipe?

Can we talk about the 'waterproof' radio I bought for the dive boat?

Spent $120 on it, lasted about 20 minutes into a harbor cleanup in Charleston. Anyone know a brand that actually survives a splash?

TIL I was feeding my chickens wrong for two whole years

I always just tossed their layer feed on the ground in the run, thinking it was fine. Then my friend from the feed store in Springfield pointed out how much I was wasting and how it could draw pests. She showed me her setup with a simple hanging feeder, and I realized I'd probably thrown away a 50 pound bag's worth over time. I switched to one last month and the feed lasts twice as long now. Has anyone else made a simple change that saved a ton of money or feed?
