Gee Mike,

We all thought Cecil had the license to steal.  You do pretty good.
There 
was one for sale over in E. Bloomfield. a couple years back, but I
thought 
on a drive by it was at least a TD-9. I used to work for a man in West 
Henrietta who kept a man working on a TD-9 six days a week, pushing out 
hedge rows or ponds or whatever contract work was available. It was a
pretty 
new machine back then.  Enjoyed your video clip.
