Rough night; up and down
C’mon Gelomond, help me out here. Cool things down quickly!
Plans: work 10hrs
All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wî h; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ . WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

Algiz (R): Outside the favor of Heimo, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what‘s coming, an aspect of death, helplessness.

A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Good AM work
Good lunch at work.
After some serious efforts to communicate with the new hire about how to work a certain set of parts, I was placed in charge of training her. I really don’t understand what difference it made, but after I took her, she did really well. On her next set of parts, she had her first part bought off first try. The lead and I just smiled at each other. It was good.
*Algiz and Tyr in here somewhere.
