How many folks let their turbo'd equipment idle a few minutes before shutting it down to allow the turbo to cool down? I do. Do I need to? Beats me, but I had a '76 International 2070 Fleetstar with a Cummins and a '78 International 4070 cabover with a Cat, both with steel plates mounted on the dashboards from the factory telling me to do so, so I did. Not only did I do it with both of them, I always have with every turbo's piece of equipment that I've owned since. Do I still need to do so? Hasn't hurt a thing for my doing so yet, so I'm not about to stop doing so. But do I really need to do it? Maybe, maybe not, but who gets hurt by it if I do it to my equipment?
Tonight I had to go to a fundraiser for a fella that I know that has developed some medical issues. Tonight on the way back I stopped at a car wash to wash the pickup I was driving. And it happened. Right there in the middle of the state highway right by some train tracks was the biggest rat that I have seen in years, right in the middle of the road. I thought it was a skunk, so I swerved to miss it, but when I got up by it, a rat. Thing was huge. Well fed. Is a feed store a baseball's throw up the road. Figure is from there, I suppose. Bigger than any field rat I ever seen or used for target practice. I should have caught that thing and tossed it into the bed, then tomorrow flung it out into a field and used it for target practice. I haven't seen a rat like that since I lived in Chicago decades ago. Would have given a barn cat a good go for it.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
