Portland was all mud this year, same as the last 15 out of 20 years. but well worth the trip.saw many old friends and a lot of engines and parts.. ended up buying a small wheel horse tractor,1960 version called a ball burner.. it lives up to it.s name,,,spent part of the day with 38ac and saw his petter engine..what a find// probably never see one like that agin.thinking about going back for the august show,,,with gas close to $4.oo a gallon, it is almost cheaper to fly to europe but I like the show better/sid

It was my pleasure to both meet and spend a hour or so with Sid at Portland and he isnt kidding about MUD.  I could have sold the Petter twice while I was strapping it down in the truck Sid, LOL. But we got it home and put it in the line to be put in running condition.

 I walked probably 75% of the swap meet and didnt see one Lister CS, or Listeroid or Changfa type for sale.  >:(
