Hello all,

As part of my new commitment to blog more, here is some info about what I did on my weekend!

I attended the third annual Piston and Power Show in Cleveland.  This show as combined with a show called the Autorama which has been going on for years.  As you can guess by the titles, the Autorama is/was mostly a custom car show and the Piston Power Show displays anything that has a piston powering it - pretty obvious huh?

The PP part of the Show included airplanes, military vehicles, trucks, construction equipment, farm tractors, boats, outboard motors, motorcycles, fire trucks and many other items. 

The show was a lot of fun as you can imagine.  The Cleveland IX Center is over 1 million square feet and every inch was filled with gleaming hunks of metal that moved.

As much as I personally love muscle cars, I took photos only of items which fit into our theme of construction equipment and trucks.  Check out these items!
