    Yea idle the snot out of those Intertrashional engines. Then you'll get to know the fun of daily regens and usually multiple regens every day. At least you'll get plenty of nap and stupid video game time.

    Using a towel to wrap up the sensor and hand warmer and it’s been working great. Thinking about getting a pair of thinsulate gloves and using one when it’s colder or like my buddy said... once it’s cold enough like below 50 but still above 32... try packing dry ice or something around the sensor to take it the other way. Makes more sense to go warmer with warm and colder with cold. Otherwise might have to use two hand warmers at a time.

    I don’t have an APU and have to run my Cpap all night. The way our guys hook up the power inverters it drains the batteries like crazy. Sorry, wasn’t sure if you were talking to me or not.
