here is Timmer's pumpkin going to the scales...it went a little light and ended up at 624 pounds....making me king of the patch. he took the result graciously at first..but later at bobby's tap was another story. both tre' and noah topped his pumpkin. because his was taller in height and closer to people's view in our patch when it was still on the vine, he was still convinced he had me this year and many others also thought the same thing...which had me worried a bit...more like a lot cuz i didn't want to hear it all year long. but i thought i beat him for sure when the lifting crew said that noah felt the heaviest when loading and i felt food at the weigh off that i would beat him. pretty damn close though with only 69 lbs between them. i may not have won any trophy's or prize money, and i was dissappointed at noah not even clearing 700 pounds, but i will tell you what, when the bullshitting stopped and our moving van gate was dropped, and my weight was higher than his, i got a huge smile that started deep in my fat belly with satisfaction and made its way to my chipmunk cheeks and never left my face for the whole evening. this slowly grew on him over the coarse of the night and many beers that followed.
