You should have set up a camera capable of time-lapse!
Probably not, this pumpkin probably won't get big enough for the seeds to be worth anything.
You should definitely try it, this is my first time and it's a lot of fun (especially since my buddy and I are competing and I'm winning
), and there's a lot of strategy involved too.lots of info at http://www.utahpumpkingrowers.com/
There's some really cool time lapse vids on youtube

Finished. Well, mostly finished. The OCD part of me cannot stand that the paint line (at the top) isn't straight. So, I'll take 30 seconds and even it out. Then, I'll probably never mess with the finish again and beat on it properly.
You may have already addressed this, but what's the story with the coupe? A current project or a forgotten project that is looking for a new home? I love the 30-31's

That happens. I will be in the market once I sell my roadster. I'm not giving it away so I may have it a while. when I saw it I needed to ask since I have everything to build a Model A with the exception of a body.

Forklift? lol
28 days and it's up to 106 pounds.
The pumpkin's growth rate slowed down a bit, probably due to the colder rainy weather. I terminated and buried most of the secondary vines so growth should shift more toward the pumpkin instead of the plant.

I just got some pressure switches in today. Tomorrow night and monday I will be trying them out on my sidekick and putting them under my hood for a light under there and also may put one in the door of my tent trailer so when we open the door it lights up a strip that goes around the floor for an entrance light.

Finally finishing my sons desk... Now to sand and stain it.
I like that idea! I'm not sure I'd call those pressure switches, but door jamb switches.

I also got my shifters figured out and installed for my doubler. The twin sticks are for my STaK Replace-a-Case 300, and the third shifter by my ebrake handle is the Behemoth Shorty Strong Box on a cable shifter. 
Got tired of ratchet strapping my cargo box down in my YJ, or trying to anyway. Just doesn't seem to work offroad and makes it a pain to open.
I wanted the box in a very specific location, so I took some mounting hole measurements and quickly threw together something solid, but removable by using the existing 5 threaded holes in the tub for the rear seat and the seat belts. Two of the bolts holding it down are inside the box, which can be padlocked, so it's sort of secure. The whole thing goes on top of the rubber mat that covers the bed, and the center rear-most bolt will be an eyelet bolt for hooking a strap to for holding the spare tire.
