Name tat grinder … my son bought this at an antique store, keep telling him it’s not for meat, but no idea what it’s for 

I feel like maybe only @nolaegghead can crack this one.

Definitely a mill. Could likely be used for many types of grains/seeds/legumes/etc.

Can we get a ruling on the field here, @Legume ?

Definitely a torture device dripping with the blood of my ancestors.

Manual Poppy Seed Grinder, can use it for all manner of spices.  Meat is not a spice.

It's obviously  just a peanut grinder. We just need a monkey

Or maybe it removes seeds from buds. Maybe easier from a foldable Beatles album cover

The problem with putting effort into doing nothing is that in fact you are doing something. 

Kind of like choosing not to decide is still making a choice. 

I can do nothin with the best of them.

They're good. Rusty Can BBQ in Byfield makes a hell of a roast beef sandwich too. There's also a place in Newburyport (my town) called the modern butcher. They make one specialty sandwich a day (rotates)  and they post pictures of it each morning around 11:00..They sell out by early afternoon. If you go to their insta page you can see pictures of some of their sandwiches. They're huge, crazy flavor combinations, almost too flavorful in some cases. They have roast beef sandwiches on Saturday and they'll be a line of people down the street and around the corner to get one. Their insta is well worth perusing.

I remember a college friend from several decades ago (okay, half century...) from the Boston area and every time I was in Boston (not that often) he reminded me "Always get the roast beef with mayonnaise, chopped onions, salt and pepper."  
Yes it is good.  To this day on the rare occasion I am in a sandwich shop and it has thin sliced roast beef  (a staple) that is the order.  Always a winner!

@Canugghead - shouldn't those temps be in *C?? 

@lousubcap we have an hybrid measurement system, here’s a flowchart to help you understand, it is pretty spot on if you ask me.

Blue house for me. Small onion roll. Three inches hot roasted beef.rare. bbq sauce.mayo. Salem NH. Really hard to beat.  Hot Prime rib sliced thin.  Everything else sucks.  Never thought that we had a great roast beef area but there really is many but......

I think it's a north shore thing, this specific style of thinly sliced warm roast beef, piled high on a (mostly, onion I think?) roll, with that specific type of sauce. Most places you can order it three ways, which is with the sauce,. mayo, and cheese. The problem with a three way, is you get so much goop on the buns, it's hard to know where to put your mouth

This was a three way on an onion bun, but they had the ratios right so it was messy but no pools of sauce left over.

and the sauce was so good I bought 2 bottles. Real unique tangy (maybe mustard bbq)sauce 

Ybabpmuts

It's always good when you're three way was just right, and nobody leaves sauce behind.

SGH

Nothing…

A buddy took me to King's in Salem, MA some years ago. Best roast beef sammich I've ever had. 

Ybabpmuts

See, it's a north shore thing. I don't know any kings in Salem but I know a couple of queens that live there, and they've been known to go down to the corner and ask people if they want a three way. It was hard to tell what they were selling really, because neither of them had a roast beef sandwich in their hands.

Got a haircut at GreatClips this morning.  
Cute, young brunette (whom I hadn't seen before) sat me down, and was a bit too chatty for my tastes.  
When she learned I was retired AF, she started discussing recent European history and the Russian atrocities.  Then, when she learned I had worked in nuclear weapons/missiles, the discussion steered into deeper stuff: Paper Clip, "The Final Solution" train, NASA, Wernher von Braun, and Egyptian/Nile issues.   
 
This all happened during a 12-minute haircut.  Wow.  
I made a point to look at her name-tag while I paid for the haircut, but of course I've forgotten it already.  Hope to get another haircut from her soon.
 
I'm not quite  ready to give up on the American Dream, with smart kids like this working up thru the system.  I needed this.

Found an unoccupied stolen vehicle today and was pretty sure I knew who stole it based on a street tip. Couldn’t prove that person stole. Was able to set up surveillance on the vehicle and just got word they caught the person I believed to be the thief in the car and made the arrest.
