​Ancestor Meditation: (alternate Sunnastag) Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!

I spent the first 2hrs @ work chasing a ghost.  I am familiar with the parts.  I know what the hydro block looks like.  It has very distinctive triangular shape.  I know where the hydro block is supped to be.  It’s one of the rare instances where I know it to be on a side shelf rather than in the Hanel.  It’s not there.  Oh well.  Other than that, the night went extremely well and I stayed pretty busy most all shift.
