JD,
That is pretty common to see a outline(into the future) to what is going to
be ribs they are seen when young and then the pumpkin goes smooth and then
later way down the road they come back............it is at this stage you
can check and see that the ribs will be symetrical and not deformed or
melting back to one as they had a great picture from Alan R patch.....had
one like that and at that junction a hole..............best of luck brock
P.S does JD happen to be Jack Daniels the 3rd?
