Two draft animal powered plows. We've got the collar as well, but it looks to be for a pretty small horse.
Odd, because the local draft horse breed is not small. There's still a few of them around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_Heavy_Draught
So will you turn then
our plowshares into swords for
your sycophants joy?
Our halls of learning
into factories of hate
reflecting your soul?

Truck Norris and Adam Sand-ler aren't celebs, they're Labrador City's new snowplows
Labrador City's town safety manager, Wayne Power, jumped at the opportunity to have kids decide the names of five new snowplows. The contest received over 3,500 applications and the chosen names will be printed on the machinery.

First Time in Ages
I just did something that I don’t think I have done since before Covid came along and mussed everything up.
As previously mentioned, it’s snowing today. Not a lot. We have about an inch on the ground. We might get another inch on top of that, but by no means is today’s storm anything to be worried or upset about, other than the fact that snow is always a pain in the ass. We are New Englanders. This is nuttin’.
However, I needed to go out and do the grocery shopping. My wife has been eating super healthy lately and she was out of all of the healthy things she needed for lunch. I had to go out and restock so that she could have a good lunch. That means I had to go out to the store before the snow stopped. Not only that, I had to go out before the snow removal crews started working. In other words, I had to drive in the fresh, untreated snow.
As previously stated, that was not a big deal. There was enough snow to make the roads a little slippery, but not enough to cause any real troubles for an experienced snow-driver. It made me think though… when was the last time I went out before the plowing started? I can’t remember. It’s been a long, long time. The last time had to have been pre-Covid lockdown. There hasn’t been a time since then that I had to be somewhere bad enough that I couldn’t wait for at least the plows getting one whack in. The only thing I could think of that would have made me go out right away was if one of my parents were in the hospital. If that happened I must have blocked it out of my memory. There was the drive home from Vermont a few weeks ago… does that count? I think the side roads might not have been hit yet, but the main roads had. I don’t know.
So I guess all I did today was spiritually renew my New England Winter Driver ID card. Yeah. I can still drive in the snow. Yippee for me, babie.

Had a poke around the back in the pile of rusty old farm equipment. This plow looks okay, as far as I can tell. No broken welds, the wheel adjustment turned without tools. There's even a spare wheel :)
Obviously could do with a little bit of spiffying up. Some green and yellow paint and a Don Jeere sticker perhaps.
It's nearly time for the next Coin of Note #Newsletter! But first, no-one has guessed the #MysteryCoin! I'm beginning to think these are too hard?
Ok this one is an industrious looking #anepigraphic coin.

Mysterious Code in Ancient Assyrian Temples Can Finally Be Explained

It has been #snow ing all day long here in #vermont. I'd estimate we've got at least 15" already, and we're still expecting snow for the next couple of hours.
The truck wheels are 33" tall to give a sense of scale, and the #Subaru #Crosstrek behind is almost completely buried!
Hopefully our #plow guy will be along soon, and I'll tidy the rest up with the #tractor tomorrow.
Got to love language
You say plow and we say plough
Though it sounds the same
I plough through dark days
hope to turn eventually
not soil, but the page

If your favorite tractor stopped being made 110 years ago, you can just remake it. You just need a few friends to help start a foundry and you're on your way!
