I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.
*no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.
*offered up some tobacco for Granny Aggie.

A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Interpretation: Social interaction (Mannaz) leads to Self-domination (Is).
*in Sorcha (Mannaz) I rest (Is)

1st check on all fur-kids
<> 
Outcome: it was a nice 7 hrs. of sleep until I woke-up with a fucking hamstring cramp…FUCK!
<> 
First breakfast…a banana
<> 
Quick good morning chat with Sorcha.
<> 
Quick errands:
*Battery store; two for the weigh scale, two for the smoke detectors, one for the dial calipers @ work, and picked up a really nice LED lighting system for the closet.
*Bank; it seems it took the state a full year to give me LAST YEAR’S tax return; which worked out well because I paid-in $24 this year.
**looking at it, no, it IS for 2016…hmmm.
<> 
2nd breakfast; 2 small eggs, ham and cheese in a whole-wheat burrito
<> 
HAHAHAHA…Sorcha and I showered together; however, 1400 miles apart.

My health by the numbers:
Glucose: 104
Weight: 242
BP: 116/72
Pulse: 77

Social activity;
1. Gathered up aluminum cans and took them into WMR http://www.wichitamaterialrecovery.com/
*almost $42 AND a free t-shirt, I’m golden
2. Well, since I’m in the area, I know my German food truck is close.
150 N. Cleveland…150 N. Cleveland…WHOA!  An artisan market?  WOW!  Lots of stuff going-on.  LOL…somebody noticed my CG t-shirt and wanted of it to send to his son in Florida with the CG.  I turned my hat around and let her take a pic of my best side…my back side.  I also bought a nice jar of honey.
*finally got to my German food truck.
3.  Stopped in at Idle Hands Tattoo and Piercing to get a price on piercing.  Good price.  Will do it soon.
4. Hat-Man Jacks; got a new hat
4. Lowe’s; for a new 4-hose water connector.
5. Red Wing Shoes; as expected, they sent the pair of shoes I was supposed to compare to the one I have, but a size larger.  Nice visit though.

A one hour telephone conversation with my Sorcha has helped.
<> 
Checking Wx on both weather.com and channel 12.2 locally.  It looks like the storm COULD miss Wichita, or we could take a direct hit.
<> 
Last check on all fur-kids.

Nighty-night; feeling the presence of my Sorcha holding me.
<> 
01:30; Donar started rumbling; thunder, lightning and rain.  I jumped out of bed because both Toby and Socks were outside.  I called Toby and he came running from the garden shed.  At the same time, I started calling Socks, and kept calling him until Toby was inside.  More times than not, Socks stays hunkered-down during a storm.  Luckily, shortly after Toby was inside, Socks was on the porch.  Naked from sleeping, I ran out the back door and called him from the gate.  He was SO ready to go into his house.
*all are safe, now.

God/dess Meditation: Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you; part and parcel of our ever-expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
