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.

Armanen Rune: Gibor:
Havamal 163:
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, passion, mystery, secrets kept, the end, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe, the end.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).

Rune Lesson: Two things for certain about Donar; 1. He’s an angry god. 2. He the god of protection. Two things for sure about Gibor; 1. It’s the Rune of mystery. 2. It’s the Rune of awareness. For me, this is a tough one to put together to make any real sense. So, let’s ascertain that this lesson is all about anger, protection, mystery and awareness. Let’s leave it at that.

Gave wifey her anniversary gifts. For some dumb reason I was thinking three yr. anniversary, but gave them to her anyway on this our SECOND anniversary:
*leather hair barrettes (leather, traditional 3 yr.)
*crystal mini-vase (modern 3yr.)
*card
She really liked her gifts

A banana + a 2-egg open faced breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon and cheese atop whole wheat toast.

Call into bruzzer. He’s getting windows done from the same company I did several years ago. He asked me the other day how much I paid for my windows. I had no idea without finding the paperwork. Today, I found it, and told him how much I or six windows. He paying a bit more.

1st Monday of each month MNPL (Machinist Non-partisan Political League) meetings are back, and it was an EXCELENT return! I finally got them to open up to me how they make their trips to Topeka. I told them anyway I can be of assistance please ask. They were very open to my willingness to help.
One I got back to the shop, I’m sure my lead-man suggested there was nothing in the shop, that I should disappear and “not get caught.” So, I disappeared for most of the shift. As I came out of hiding just before the last break, he told me he’s been looking for me for hours. Did I misinterpret what he said? All I had to do was to life a die off table using the overhead crane and place it on the flatbed. Easily done. Back to hiding.

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!
