    That's a cool waffle maker. What's the little dimple in the wings next the handle for? Are you supposed to put some batter in there, and it's time to flip when it's cooked?

    Looks like it's to pry it apart if the waffle sticks. There is an opposite one on the upper handle.

    Definitely too close to the house. My guts knotted up when the guy notched it and said it’s hollow.

    They are great!

    I say "are" instead of "were" because I still have a rack and a half left.

    Kid came home from work last night at 10:30 and said the check engine light on the Pilot is on and it was running funny.

    I go start it and he is correct on both counts.

    Doing some looking online, it sounds like it might be misfiring and when it detects that, it shuts down an injector, which would explain the running rough.

    So I'll be switching out some plugs later.

    Question for everyone - we're not sure if he did or not but IF he accidentally put E85 gas into it, could that be the cause of the problem? In looking online, doing that once shouldn't cause any long term harm but I'm hoping they're related and not separate problems.

    Need to get the check engine code. If the check engine light is flashing its more serious. One easy check is make sure your gas cap is tight if it has it.
