We have plenty of room in Kingstons room. he sleeps on the couch anyways.
By the looks of that big one you have going Q, you'll be able to beat everything I have and buy plane tickets for both you and Master p to fly home! You could even stop in Vegas on the way home and win more money!!!!!!

I'll be weighing my giant carrot this day so bring your carrot Q!

Dang, it's on the same weekend as the Gale Woods Farm weigh off. I really want to support this new, "local" weigh off.

If you guys are serious about going(Master P and Q Tip), I might have been interested in tagging along....and maybe splitting the travel cost. I've never been to California. It wasn't meant to be for me I guess.

Best of luck with the weigh off Chris!

It looks like it will be good competition at Gale Woods. I'll be happy if I make top 10 there.

Bob,
It should be a fun time. I'm not too worried about where I place. It's nice to hear you plan to be there.

I'm sorry Chris if this thread got off topic. My fault.

Some day I would like to take a pumpkin out to Cali. I have to learn how to grow bigger first. Good Luck with your carrot Chris on Sept 24th. Is there a prize for carrots....Qtip and myself still have ones in the ground.
