The file is ready for distribution.
I converted the file at the general request of Rocky R. I also
figured others would like to use it. I think most people like to follow
their pumpkins progress in terms of weight rather than inches.  Although
the conversion isn't that hard.  And it is easier (and less likey to
damage the pumpkin) to just measure the Circumference daily, than the 3
OTT measurements.  One could just add the weight estimate to the
original spread sheet. ( i could do this if some one wanted it)  -but
then again the circumference weight estimate is not as acurate as the
OTT estimate. 
I'm not sure why you couldn't use the OTT and weight to figure watering
or feeding decisions?  but I do know that George has A LOT more
experince
and knowledge about growing these pumpkin than I do. 
George, thanks for your approval and all your help to everyone else.

I made typo in the formula- I just modified George Brooks' excell chart.
( i hope that was OK ???- i guess i should have asked first )  i hit a 9
instead of a 6 when i typed the formula in.  opps ... not a good place
to make a mistake.   Rocky thought he had a real monster for a day.
I fixed it and send Rocky an updated version.  
If it is OK with George - I could send the new OTT version, the charts
are all in terms of weight. ( total weight and weight gained per day) to
anyone who has
excell.  Remember this is only good for AG's. ( and also squash that
come from them)
Sorry for the error and any resulting confusion.

Ok by me but you should change the file name so we don't copy it over
the
original by mistake. I chose not to use the OTT to monitor growth
responses to
changes in weather, food etc. because it is not an accurate mesurment
when the
Pumpkin is sitting on the ground.  I do use it to estimate weight though
but
not to influence my watering or feeding decisions.
