BFR vs. Desert Eagle vs. 44 Magnum vs. S&W Model 460 vs. Ruger Super Redhawk - Which hand cannon reigns supreme? | Watch (msn.com)

This is why it's best to have one of each. It's the only way to be sure.

Well guys today is a real bad day. Had to put Marley girl down. She was 17.5, had arthritis was pretty much blind and had a tumor on air way. Really struggling to breathe, unless on steroids. The vet let her have one last round of steroids when she was told I’m gonna be home for it. Best Christmas gift I got was one more with her. The wife and I are devastated. Here’s a pic of her. Excuse the bed, but it was her preferred place to sleep. View attachment 497678

I read in one of your recent post how you were working hard to get back home to spend time with her and now we know why. Very sorry for your lose.

Did something a little different today. Delivered two loads of cement to a drilling rig. This was actually the first rig I attempted to work on years ago but my lady parts got inflamed and I quit.

This would make a good back up for the .460 in case the God #### screechers ever show back up.

No, it is in Iowa City. There used to be five of them back in the 50s, No.1 was downtown, No. 2 was on Linn St., and I think the other three were in Cedar Rapids. When I was there in the 80s, No. 2 was the only one still around. It was run by two brothers, sons of one of the two brothers that started it in the 40s or 50s. One of the founders used to come in every Sunday to pick up an order of fried chicken when I was there.

Younger brother Mike was killed by a drunk driver while I worked there; very sad, only in his early 30s, was engaged to be married at the time. Older brother Dave kept it going, recently sold it to some guy who liked it and promised to keep the same menu.

Unfortunately because Iowa became famous for its first in the nation caucuses after Jimmy Carter won there in '78, all of the politicians started coming there in the late 80s. I had moved on by then, but the Hamburg Inn became Des Moines Register famous for its coffee bean poll for candidates, and almost every hopeful makes an appearance there at some point. Glad I was gone before that started.

Great food, though. All the hamburger, pork, chicken, eggs, and milk is sourced locally, and was way before that became cool. There was a Mennonite lady who used to deliver fresh eggs in her blue Buick when I was there. Beef for the burgers were ground fresh every week, pork tenderloins and chicken also cut and breaded there, home fries boiled and chopped in the back room. Sometimes I would be assigned to peel the hot taters. Small place, seating for maybe 30, probably over half the business was to go orders. Highly recommend if anyone can get downtown Iowa City. Not truck friendly though. Avoid during presidential campaign season unless you like those kinds of people.

Nice looking place. Thru town many times. Used to wear out old US218 in 57, taking veal calves to Rath in Waterloo. Later ran it all the way thru to reach Red Owl in Minneapolis with Florida fruit and back down it from Grand Forks with potatoes.. Doubt if many on here ever ran it's length. A real trip, mile north, mile west, following the original section land lines. Interstates straightened it all out. We hung out a lot in Mason City and Clear Lake for some unremembered reason.
