To my great surprise, a friend of my Dad's loaned me his truck for the Central Market Weigh-off on Saturday! I genuinely wasn't sure I'd make it up until late afternoon the day before. Anyway, upon finding I'd be able to go, I procured a pallet from a very nice store employee who asked me not to mention where I got it, ha, and set about the removal process. It turns out, 500lbs is a lot heavier than I'd thought; just tipping it onto its side to clear the bottom was an exercise in hernia-risk. With the help of my brother, we tipped it up, dug out a pallet-sized area underneath the pumpkin, dropped the pallet in the hole and lowered the pumpkin onto it. My wrists have taken a beating from weight-lifting and didn't fare well moving the pumpkin, hence the wrist wraps. Here I am cleaning the sulfer paste out of the stem split.
