Well, according to the OTT measurements, and if the calculations in Mike's
calculator are correct, it is estimated at 1232. Again this is only an
estimate, and I am probably too late for any weighoffs, so it probably won't
count, but oh well. Also, there are a lot of turkeys out there who would love
to steal a pumpkin that big, criticize my growing practices, and even some
who would actually believe any of this. Heh heh! Actually, the pumpkin is
only 150 or so, since the virus took a big tole on all of them. It's just
that I would be happy to get ANYTHING over 150-200 that isn't plowed under
first. All this work for 2 years I think I deserve SOMETHING to show for it.
