The bottom end of my 533 where it landed. It felt wrong to cut it open this early before Halloween, but it felt even worse seeing it get hoisted up in the air to be quickly destroyed. You spend so much time caring for these things, making sure nothing happens. Strapping it down on a trailer for a 710 km one way trip, babying it so it arrives in one piece, and all of a sudden, it's a zillion pieces of pumpkin flesh flying across a northern Alberta field.
And yes, it's true, I did say goodbye to it, thanked it for being a good pumpkin, and gave it a hug before they hauled it away to the drop site. No, I'm not kidding.
