Another thing Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist probably loves about new diesel vehicles. Sit in your loader at full throttle for 15-20 minutes wasting fuel while it regens the particulate filter because you know it’s good for the environment.

The FIL’s new excavator has been in the shop more than in the field with emissions problems. So freaking stupid. 😔😡

My truck never does a stationary regen. I make sure I let her eat on the freeway. Some good full throttle runs to 1200 degree EGTs does the trick too. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Russia, China, India, are not doing this. Why are we doing this. Tractors? Farmers? We passed the point of diminishing returns a decade ago. This is no longer a problem that needs attention. We can stop. We are where we need to be we don't need to keep going further than this. Staaaahp
 
Anybody here ever paid $240.00 for a popsicle? I just did.

This afternoon, my daughter calmly told my wife that she needed to go to the doctor. She had stuck a bean up her nose and she had to get it out. Wife takes a look and, by golly, something is up there. One trip to urgent care and a red kidney bean has been freed. To calm her nerves, the nurse gave my daughter a popsicle. She's now happy as a clam. Of course the children's urgent care we attended doesn't accept our insurance, so we got to pay out of pocket.

As we were leaving, little missy pointed back to the urgent care and said "I need to put another bean in my nose so I can get another popsicle." She's 3, and apparently a chaotic/good. Too smart for her own good and ruthless Jeebus help me.

When I worked in the ER, a trick we would do would be to have the parent close the non obstructed nostril, then blow into their kid's mouth which would usually often eject the offending M&m, bead or frijole
