Jewelry from a Roman treasure hoard discovered in Thetford Forest, East Anglia, suggests that pagan practices in the region persisted into the 5th century—much later than previously thought, according to a new research.

Time to go dumpster diving in the Netherlands.

"The agency concluded there were several reasons why the artworks could have been taken out with the trash, including a complete absence of any policies, procedures or guidelines for 'the registration, storage, conservation and security of artworks.'"

Dragged this tub that goes on top of the feed cart out of the forest yesterday*.

The first one of these I found was rusted to pieces, but I found another in the forest during winter. Frozen to the ground so couldn't inspect it.

Did that now. Seems in better shape, the fold on the bottom needs repair, but it holds together.

Fits the cart perfectly!

* I seem to have done a lot yesterday. No wonder I'm absolutely knackered today! 🥱

Continued thread

…At a time when #trade was largely financed in gold & silver, the mercantilists thought of it in terms of accumulating #wealth, or “#treasure.” #Trump thinks in terms of dollars rather than gold, but little rests on that distinction. In his remarks on Wed, he repeated his unfounded claim that #Canada was *subsidizing* the #US to the tune of $200B a year. (Trade payments aren’t subsidies, & last year the US deficit in trade on goods & services w/Canada was well under a $100B.)

This contraption has been sitting outside the garage for ages. Finally got around to inspecting it. It's a #DIY chain flail mower, no respect for life edition.

Connects to tractor, PTO gearbox driving a rotating disc below with two short lengths of chain attached.

That is how chain flail mowers are normally built, except they have a steel cage around them because they fling stones and the occasional chain.

Also, it's way too close to the rear wheels.
