My best day on 1st shift thus far.  The lead man pulled a few of us aside to show us about hand-routing.  He asked if anyone had hand-routed to which I said I had; evidently being the only one in the group.  The problem was, he struggled going the wrong way.  As I DO have plenty of hand-routing experience, I still minded my tongue.  Someone else finally told him to go the other way, then it started going well for him.  Taking my turn, I did it just a bit differently by starting in a corner rather than a straight edge.  The guy following me, I told him to do the same and it went well for him.  By the time I got back to my area, hand-forming was out of work, but the bag press was busy.  Initially, I made sure I understood their Hanel ™ tower by finishing putting back a 2nd cart full of form blocks.  Then, I set up and ran 5 orders on the bag press with little supervision.  Perhaps I AM learning something.

Whatever that concoction was my wife made, she encouraged me to make my own for dinner.  It was okay.

​God/dess Meditation: 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!
