Man that's a heart breaker but what a ride. If you've gotten one that big once you can do it again!

Yeah, heart breaker indeed. I looked at the diary photo and thought, "Oh, just another split". Then I looked at the numbers and almost cried.

I am really sorry Joe, was looking forward to see what it weighed in october. Still doing in the 30's a day, that was a real beast.
