I hear Cat's new model prices are going up again here in California to meet our CARB rules. they still have the horsepower though and the new cab improvements are making operators happy. Sales are down worldwide on the bigger version (D-10's) and stock prices are taking a hit for it.

that help?

(Son is a diesel tech for local Cat dealer so I get the inside info)

King, but wow, based on an Internet search, I can't imagine the missus wanting to pay that much for sheets.

First my mother bought my sheets then my ex wife... My ex walked out leaving the sheets for the bed (and not much else )

Anyways... It may not seem like a big deal but it is for me. What was I doing all of those years? Maybe I should have been more involved in the details of my life.

We use flannel sheets, but only in the winter, and only when it's cold (it's not always cold in the winter in Houston).

for what I have in stock, yes, course, masraum is correct, some of the sheets I have in stock retailed for $1,500..

But I'm going to find out what we have in King and see what kind of deal (or trade, I like spoons) I can do.

And some of the other products I have sitting in my office & shop from the store











Anyone need any pillows??

Yeah, wow, those must be REALLY good sheets! I don't think I'm that high a roller yet.

Hmm, maybe I could trade some old Fuchs. I bet Byron doesn't have any of those!!

Wait, I don't have any old Fuchs, maybe I could get some from Byron.

That's a lot of pillows.
