*This has happened way too often that I, for some reason, get distracted coming home from work when I’m letting Socks into or out from his house and I forget about the gate.  Whether or not this will help in the long term, short term for sure, I made “CHECK GATE” signs for Socks’ house and the back door.

Wild night at work. This one form block was just giving me fits because it wasn’t setting well.  A similar form block sat better due to the pin configuration.  I flagged my lead and showed her the difference between the two form blocks.  I offered to pull the pins from the stubborn one to make it set well like the other.  She said go ahead.  It worked and it ran perfektly.
*At the end of shift, I noticed some steel parts that ALWAYS gives good time for minimal effort to the tune of 830 min.  Granted I ZOOMED thru them in order to get them in before time to go home; fingers crossed.

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!
