Paul, it was not you that cased the problem. Almost all of us growers go thru this at some time, it is what seems to hold us together as a group and to admire those who seceded.
Yes we mope around for a few days before we say it was only a pumpkin and yes yours was a huge one to lose. Enjoy your beer for what you did accomplish.

Timing is everything, cut and weigh it if it doesn't look like it will last to your weigh-off.
