Default Behind the berm and a blastin' away

[quote=Dave Miles;20418]I don't know what a "Massachusetts Balloon Blast" is.
But the U.P. releases a bunch of balloons from behind a berm, and everyone lines up to shoot them.

After the ballons they threw bits and pieces of clays up, lotsa fun-

Next year I want them to have an ejector-distance tossing derby- I'll put the 2E Smith Pigeon Gun of mine against any other 12 ejector double- we stand on a marked line, fire at the Mass Balloons, and the judges mark where our ejected empties land-- Didn't partake of the local watering holes, didn't need to- as I became friends with a German-American retired engineer, first with Siemens and later Allis-Chalmers in Milwaukee- he and his most charming wife Utta had vacation property near Iron Mt.- now they live there year-round- he offered me cold Warsteiner, even a Cuban cigar- and I had the pleasure of sitting with him and his wife at the Sat. Banquet- No cold Leinie's or other Good German/American brews but lotsa cold Guinness, Harp and other fine Irish brews-

Great Italian restaurants abound in Iron Mt.- Fri nite we went to one, had the all you could eat Walleye special- full whack for $7.95 (beer extra of course) and I knocked back 6 big fillets of fresh caught walleye- and my cardiologist ain't goona know about dat!

Try Warsteiner ( W is as V auf Deutch) I love Leinie- but Warsteiner is truly, as the label states- "The Queen of Beers" Prost!!
