CAT ECMs seem to bring a bit more $ on the market. I did brick my red bus ECM a couple times but they are easy to un-brick.. havent explored CAT far enough yet..
I bid on a nice HDX thomas with a MD3060, 3126, and A/C.. the bid was really nice N low and number of watchers was low.. then some dumbass posted it on a skoolie site in facebook the last day.. and the auction went ballistic.. so no CAT for me yet..

I had to due to the stinging nettles under the bus.
Only had to use the angle grinder on 5 bolts. All the rest were removed using a half inch socket and half inch wrench. Couldn't find my impact wrench so did these all the old fashioned way.
LOTS of my tools and supplies are MIA.

I can't find it anywhere. I think whoever took my gas caps and my trimmer string must have gotten my impact too.
Trusting hippie homeless folks from the finger lakes has bitten me hard this year. lol lesson learned.
Had one bolt left to grind today that I'd forgotten about. So now all the seats are out but the two rows. I have several set aside but if anyone wants any let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Honestly, one of the worst things about being old is that whenever I say "watchoo talkin bout Willis?" nobody younger than me has any idea what I'm saying.

Yeah.
Kubla flew down and did the deal with the new owner.
And he's buying the KLR250 from Shaun. 
I'm looking to sell about 5 Tomos mopeds if any of you bus folks are interested in cheap, lightweight transportation in leu of toads. Kubla has a Vespa I want so I have to consolidate.
Always nice to see Eric!  He's probably resting after that late flight.
