    Stupid computer blames it on Def quality when it wants to regen...
    There goes my fuel mileage in the DD15.

    Parked regen since it derated going through Fayetteville.
    Amazing place to be down to 55 mph and reduced power through the hills, at 79000.

    Now you know what it feels kind to be a Swift driver. :(

    Sometimes people make yo want to slap them when you see them,and ask them if they have any common sense.

    When Missus Skillet went to Columbus, OH last weekend, to celebrate her birthday with our son and his gf, they went to a coffee shop.

    Missus Skillet picked me up a couple bags of locally roasted coffee.

    It is VERY good.....I am pleased.

    Hmm.. I can hear the conversation from here.

    “You Gotta back that oversized up!!!”

    “No, YOU gotta back up.”

    I’d just raise the Hood river bridge and see who moves first.

    We started this morning at about 0300. Moved indigenously to the receiver using the cover of darkness.

    Got empty.

    Avoided +1 hour 56 minutes of CRASHES to get over here to the staging area for our reload.

    We are henceforth staged.

    The OM is pleased.

    Indeed, it works great. I still need to fabricate a handle and install the temp guage though. Niw that I'm not driving all the time, and have access to a Fab shop I might be able to get it done this year.
