Met-up with wife in her office.  She’s running a fever.
<> 
It’s just really hard to get moving around here anymore.  I’m so glad I’m NOT on 1st shift.
<> 
I want to take a moment to explain why SHFs (shaper holding fixtures, better known as just an SHF) are sometimes such a pain; like last night, where it took me several hours to complete with only 19.6min allotted.  Often times, it takes four passes.  One side may be a simple cut.  It’s on the other side where there is intricate cutting, a rough cut, a final cut, plus a milling to take a surface down to .02 or less, without gouging the other surface.  For me, it just takes quite a bit of time to insure it’s done right.  I really don’t think planners have a clue what we do.  I think by-and-large it’s an absolute guess on their part.  19.6min to handle a large SHF (anywhere from 6-10ft), plus four cuts is horribly ridiculous.
<> 
Toby and I out for a well behaved, late morning/noon hour, 30min walk.
*sunny/high clouds, warm, 30min walk.
*yeah, I think Toby’s water bottle is shot.
<> 
I dunno, maybe if I was still on 1st shift I would be more inclined to get up and get moving.  Perhaps it is the curse of 2nd shift that doesn’t allow for much energy…or I’m just fucking old…LOL.
<> 
BK for just me.  My wife is REALLY down for the count today.
<> 
3 or 4 simple orders started the shift.  My bread-n-butter parts #2 showed up.  It was an order of 45 parts, 9ft extrusion, rough cut plus finish cut that kicked my ass.  Nonetheless, right at 8hrs turned in for the shift.
<> 
Rain; downpour on the way home.
<> 
My Minnesota Vikings “Defend the North” shirt arrived!

Last check on all fur-kids.
*Socks was hunkered-down underneath my wife’s Jeep.  All that was visible were his paws.  I called him as I headed for the gate and he came a-running to get out of the rain.  Socks is SO smart!

God/dess Meditation: Die [(German for feminine “the”) (pronounced “Dee”)] Wurtâ:
Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.

That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

God/dess Meditation: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

God/dess Meditation: Frouwa & Ing-Frô:
Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you?  Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
