Go pap go! I should think that minimum production runs could be supported by the numbers growing today to a financial success level. I would find the idea a great way to thank those who help me. I already need one of each you have suggested for my office support. :)

I like the fork lift/skid steer idea. I took several pictures at the weigh off that I attended, the fork lift photo is the best....it says alot to me. In my wildest dreams, I never thought that I could grow something that had to be lifted with a damn forklift! Once my pumpkin and pallet were on the lift, I finally "let go". I thought about putting my son on the school bus for the first time.....

Give me a Charlie Brown rock! Hey, nonwinners need something too! It would beat the Kentucky Skunk cap that I am preordained to wear in '07. Heck, that Van Hook crew already wants to know my cap size....

pap, you are truly a pumpkin man. I would be interested in these for the Cornerstone site in Mid September, 07. You continue to reach out and help to develop this hobby while at the top of your game. I am fascinated and appreciate your daily involvement here on the message boards.

ok guys (and gals of course )

ill start putting a plan together and with some help from tug associate peter r ( and my secret master wood man joe j ) will in a short while get some pictures up in the unknown grower diary ( may as well use the diary its there right)?either way we have several months to get it done

not going big scale wall street here folks. just some walkin around money and a happy customer /costumers on your end is enough.

Hi Pap!
I am a newbie and so thrilled to even be posting a message to you. I just put a post up about a christmas gift for a friend. Where do I go on the site to find out about the pickup and the pumpkins in the back? You have done so much for this "sport" I appreciate it so much. Thanks for you help.
