Off topic: I smoked a whole chicken today on the barbecue. It turned out great. I used apple wood bits and mesquite chips soaked in water-diluted whiskey. I glazed it with maple syrup. Mmmmm....

Back on topic: I had a bit of a scare this evening when I looked out at my pumpkin and it seemed to have a giant split in it. Thankfully, it was just the setting sun shining through the fence, casting a line of light accross the fruit. Whew!

I took some measurememnts today for the first time. The OTT total was 78 3/8". But, I don't think I did it very accurately. I'll use some string next time instead of the junky tape I have. Anyway, it is still growing and appears to be developing some big shoulders. As I understand it, big shoulders is good news for good weight.
