I am ten percent tempted Matt....wonder what KM has this year. It would be fun to be bigger than him with offspring from my 356 that you and he saw weighed at Harrisburg in 2015. Are the SDSMT students still doing the pumpkin chucking competition? If so, is it possible for the the growers to watch it? Right now..for the one undecided pumpkin, odds are Stillwater 90%-Paha Sapa 10%

The more I think about it..the more tempted i get. I am up to at least 15% now...have to consult with my wife. I could get lost..how far from the SDSMT campus is the weighoff. 35 years ago..i spent alot of time in the area. Hmmm...downtown pub crawl...i wonder if there is still the pub 1/2 block from campus. If my wife says yes...i might have to contact the ME dept from my college days. They might need a spark for them to develop the closed chamber volume measurement tool utilizing atmospheric pressure. Ok...I am up to 25%. The lure is great. Maybe Matt, just Maybe....my daughter thinks my wife will agree...but I don't know yet.

It has been decided Matt..unless unforeseen difficulties arise...I will be seeing you on the 29th. Now to figure out my scenic path...there must still be some gravel roads in South Dakota...if i get lost and find myself Saturday morning in Utah...I will email you. Lets have some fun next weekend.
