Another no pic night, TGIF. Car acted up and doing transmission fluid to get it to shift into gear... long story, cold day, but raised some more prize $ for the Weigh In. In Pumpkin Junior and Senior and Tomato Junior and Senior it's $100 first, $50 second and $25 third. I'm aiming for at least $1000 for the pumpkins so I have a ways to go yet. And I have been promised additional funds for the tomato junior (but not collected yet) and two savings bonds, $50 each, for the junior pumpkin and junior tomato. Blows the fair offers away. I might have tracked a scale, if not someone will see if they can pull a string and import one from Dumas for me. I will still have to get the other fellow who knows the Ag guy to come out and certify it for me. Sigh. All the hurdles are being tripped over as I go here. Heh. Fat Fred is doing okay, tomorrow is in the 70's they promise and I will take the enclosure totally apart, rebuild it and replastic it, and raise it. And do something to get FF to quit growing UP and lay that vine OUT. I have offered if anyone donates $5000 to the cause I will name the Weigh In after them (ex, XIT Ford Giant Pumpkin and Tomato Weigh-In)and it costs $200 or more to get on the official's teeshirts.. (have two so far!) Tomorrow I also thoroughly clean greenhouse and rearrange, need to start more flats, and inquire neighbor about an offered donation of materials... never ends. See y'all in Boise City in September!
