Havamal 148.
The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.

Before I sign on with the IWW http://www.iww.org/ methinks I want to talk to the local IAM http://www.goiam.org/ to see if they can offer anything comparable. IMO, it’s always good to keep things as local as possible.

Essie immediately outside front yard under my watchful eye.
*I’m determined to build a mobile gate for the front porch in an effort to better protect Stubby. I measured what I need; 70in W, 36in T, with 2x4 footers connected to bracing @ the bottom. I plan on connecting well-spaced 1x2s up and down on the gate to solidify it. I want it to be heavy enough to not move easily, yet mobile enough for me to move to the side as I need to do so.

Dinner; Boston Market from frozen http://bostonmarketathome.com/products/entrees/beef-steak-pasta, frozen veggies added (corn and peas).

Separated recyclables as much as could be done. ALL recyclables are absolutely full. I can’t put-off taking them in another week. This weekend is a MUST!
*Essie helped and got extra back yard time.

Applied for yet another position with Spirit Aerosystems. Gods, how many does that make now? I KNOW well over 100 positions. I really doubt anything will happen.
