Thanks for posting this weigh-off Joel.

Oct 5th will be an interesting day.
Just need to decide which weigh-off will have the new world record at it! LOL!

Or I could decide were I will be least embarrassed by my little 1st timer pumpkin.

Regardless, I'm sure that there will be some HUGE pumpkins to be seen on the 5th!

Hey Ben - hope the vacation was a good one.
I was at 228 OTT yesterday ~ about 248 lbs.
If I don't get to 300 i'm not brining it.
Besides it is going to be quite small compared to the 1000 pounders all the big guns will bring.

Just about 50 lbs to get to my goal & a little more than a month to get there. I need plenty of luck as the stem stress is still present.

BTW - How was the tour of Brett's patch? How did you hook up w/him?
