Re: Weighing pumpkins
........attaway, Bob!---you tell 'em! The OTT method is still the "best" at
a close estimate, however, as I understand it, a scale certified by the GPC
is the only "official" method of weighing and determining the exact weight
for " the books".....
But, the visual of 4 bathroom scales out in someones' patch is pretty
hilarious. ( just for my own curiosity though, I weighed my first AG of 99
lbs on my bathroom scale, after my brother carried it into the house and we
set the scale on the firm linoleum kitchen floor.......)
