Pageant of Steam in Canandaigua NY

[PToombs]

This weekend! Gehan Rd. off Rt 5 & 20. I'm going to try to go on saturday, unless it's raining. If it rains, it's a mudhole. Still a good time, even so. :-laf

I was there. We had a couple of engines on display. It was definiely a mud hole. Saturday night was great. they were pulling out a bunchof motorhomes with the big tractors.

Typical Steam Pageant! :-laf My buddy went friday in the rain and said it was getting bad, so I stayed home and worked on the truck. The weather was so nice on saturday, I regretted not going! Now I'm kinda glad I didn't. :-laf



Show down in Maine NY this weekend, definitely going to that.

I've showed at Maine a few years ago. I've got a Poker Run on my dirt bike saturday and move my kid to College on Sunday, so this weekend is out. I'll probably show at Constableville and Pams in September... then they get put away until next year. Hopefully I'll have my Rumely Do-All done by spring. Trying to find pistons now.

I've been trying to get to Pam's since they started that show. Maybe this year. Constableville is hit and miss. :-laf Sometimes I make it, and sometimes I don't. If it's been wet, I usually don't go to a show. Not worth wading thru the mud.

Joe, what size are the pistons? My buddy has a machine shop and can match stuff up. He found nonexistant pistons for the pony motor on my JD R. Same as a '40's 60hp flathead v-8 ford piston. The only difference we saw was the 1st ring sat a little lower, like . 040.

Maywe can meet up at Pam's, if I can get my butt up there. :-laf
