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.

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.

Outcome: 8 ½ hours of sleep with two wake-ups; Toby out and in shortly after sunrise, slept-in until 8am.

Hammering started shortly after I woke up, thankfully. Otherwise I’d be pissed. I had a word with the contractor. He assured me the framing crew WILL get the word and won’t start until 9am.

Not a horrible start, but things got worse. I ran some unfamiliar parts that SEEMED easy enough, but I ended up scrapping a part trying to do it run it mostly free-handed. I called the lead man to verify the scrap. Since working the part that way didn’t work, I spent considerable time fashioning a shop-aid. Just before I got my shop-aid to work, the lead man returned with the paperwork, verified the scrapped part, then out of the kindness of his little pea-picking heart, attributed the scrap to machine failure rather than operator failure since the table shaper started shutting down on its own and I had already called it in with a workorder number. Such is the series of fortunate events. I finished the shift deburring.

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!
