Well all good things must come to an end. To celebrate my win at Puyallup (in the adult category!) I came home to discover that 2 of my largest fruit have split. The 1053 Werner(rib split) and one of my 1028.5 Sherwoods (rib split). I have not weighed the Werner yet however it is estimated at around 1100 lbs. The 1028.5 weighed in at ...... 1347.5 lbs (208.5 lbs above my personal best!) Okay Ron, you've dodged another bullet. LOL

Damn, sorry to hear that Jim! Did the 1028.5 weigh pretty heavy? When did these split? When it was warm last week?
