Clod was 701.5 lbs on the Durham scale which was enough for second place.

However, there was some question to the accuracy of the Durham scales.

On the 5th, Clod was weighed at Topsfield and came in at an even 695 lbs. This should prove that the Durham scales once used properly were fairly acurate. My tarp weighs about 4 lbs and there was some shrinkage.

695 was 28th place, and a personal best that shattered my previous 466.

Here I am next to Clod the night I donated him to the Watertown Fire Department. Local High Scool kids in the art department will carve him up for display at the Annual Halloween festival.

It was an absolute blast to drive around with him in my S10. A small pickup with a AG riding over the wheel wells on two pallets makes for a dramatic sight!
