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 offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Advise the mortal man today

AM Armanen Rune: Ar: 
Havamal 153.
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Good AM work
Good @ work lunch; Prose Edda
Good PM work; all day I was passed around the machine shop floor like a cheap date
*hard metals
*big Komo
*burr-shop aluminum briefly
*hard metals
*little Mazak
*big Komo
*hard metals
*I LOVED IT!
*late PM work I struck up a conversation, I don’t remember how I phrased it, with my immediate supervisor about the poor distribution of overtime within burr-shop.  I insinuated the inequities when all overtime goes to one person while the rest of us get ZERO.  Now, understand I would NOT want to work a 60hr workweek like a certain individual, but I WOULD like perhaps 5 or 8.  I fully believe that went absolutely NO WHERE!
*All-hands meeting.  At least it was brief.

PM God/dess Meditation: Donar;
Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
