She didn't do too bad. ;D

I think you're going to need something a little bigger than a M-80.

I have a few red squirrels...and skunks. ;D
In all the years I've lived here I've never seen a grey one on the property.
I'm good with that. ;)
Those are cool [thumbsup]
+1 to burning or exploding one.
Or all. [evil]
We should fill one with gas.
And light it.
;D
What is it with all you guys wanting to poison my land with petrochemicals?
You don't need gas to burn shit if you have the turbo torch 3000. ;D
I'll agree.
You do not need gas to burn shit when the TT3000 is nearby.
However, a pumpkin full of gas will be so much more spectacular when it goes.
Where's your sense for the dramatic?

I'm just not a big fan of gas all over the ground.
Maybe black powder... [evil]
You seem awfully sure all that gas would get to the ground.

Is that because of the nitrogen?
yes

We're expecting you to freeze it for us.
If nothing else, that means you can just leaves it outside for like, 8 months.
What was wrong with Sept? Well, you know, other than the little bit of rain...

The heaviest at the Topsfield, Ma fair was 1500#.
The one's we grew are no where near that big. Of course all we did was stick some seeds in the ground and watched them grow. ;D

Did you guys weigh yours yet?

Nope...we don't have a scale that will do it.
T isn't sure she wants to go through with the fair now either.
She wants to get some seeds from the teacher and see what happens. ;D
Why not? You already know it won't likely be the biggest. The fun is entering it...

Oh come on, you know that's not the same...
I know, I know. . .

What's that?
Similar to the acid trips in the 70`s, you just look at it on a box like object and you don`t have the side effects from the acid.
You would probably need electricity for that to work though [thumbsup]

Why yes...
yes he is 3.
Are Californian residents not allowed to leave California? ;D [popcorn]
They can check out but they can never leave.
So...it's official.
Ts' pumpkin got second place. They didn't weigh it though because there was only one other entry and it was obviously bigger.
I'll figure out a way to weigh the thing. ;)

Take it to the transfer station

That will require removing it from the truck...
twice. :P
My buddy Jim has a scale, or so he claims, that will work with my chain fall.
I think that's the way to go.
WHat is the ultimate destination for this behemoth?

we're gonna save seeds from the largest one for next year, and probly carve it for Halloween.
We have 2 other pretty large ones also that I'd like to sell...because there's no way they'll last till DIMBY to burn. [laugh]
A possibility is to bring one up to my neighbor to use as cattle feed.
Do you have any gravel suppliers near by? They usually have a truck scale. Those scales are pretty accurate. ;)
I only see you needing to move the behemoth once using the transfer station scales, loaded then unloaded.
