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.

And off my hands the ropes come.

Well Hela, for me, the Solar Eclipse was disappointing.  It KINDA got dark, but the sun was still glaring.  Unfiltered pictures were disappointing, too.

Call in from brother; I just couldn’t help him this time.

Last of the casserole experiment for lunch with a garden salad and in the dinner bucket.

Shitty night @ work.

1. An order of parts came back to me with notation that the leg was too long.  I showed the 1st shift super that I did the operation per data set.  He checked out my work.  My work was correct per data set, but he finds a second data set with different requirements; one part, two data sets, two differing requirements…. SERIOUSLY SMH.
2. Hottest order in the shop that needed to be done was on an SHF (Shaper Hold Fixture), and I HATE their SHFs because they don’t repair them as needed.  The operator is expected to use aluminum tape “as needed”.  Anyway, it had to be done.  We’ll see if I did it right.
3. A second data set similar to item #1.  No way!

God/dess Meditation: Mano, god of the moon:
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high.  You’re the measurer and teller of time.  You’re the counterpart to Sunna, the feminine aspect of the sun.  As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano, let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
