NOTE: WOW!  Went to bed shortly after coming home last night rather than wait
a couple of hours: eight full hours of glorious sleep!

AM Prayer: Thursday, Thunarstag, we pray to Thunar/Thor,  lighting a red candle:
Donar/Thor, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, let us advance. When we would be weak, help us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, sharpen our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Help us grow from strength, and teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who appose our will. HAIL THUNAR/THOR!!

Wodan/Odinic wisdom, the Athem - Divine/vital breath, the force of creation, a higher source of inspiration, communication skills and divine ancestry, higher consciousness, mental stability, self discipline, Wodan in his most favorable aspect.


Outcome: Weeeeeell…nice to see your smiling face, All-Father!

First thing this morning Audrey was deep into the deep freezer cleaning it out.  She must be feeling better.

Breakfast; scrambled eggs w/cheese. Sausage, pancakes: YUM!

Paid boo-koo bills.  Without overtime we can make it well enough, we just cant do anything extra.

Errands:
*Dillons Rx http://www.dillons.com/pharmacy/Pages/default.aspx
*Dillons grocery http://www.dillons.com/fresh_foods/Pages/default.aspx for a few things

I DID have a word with “the mouth”.  A little voice in the back of my head kept telling me to wait for the moment.  When “the moment” arrived I pulled him aside and told him the harassing has to stop.  If that meant we limit conversation to work conversation then so be it, but this your harassing me has to stop.  I didn’t have to go into the whole hostile work environment thing because he was surprisingly compliant.  The rest of the shift
went pretty well and WONDERFULLY uneventful!  Thanks Ansuz for your guidance!

At work we hear skuttlebutt of people being called back and people being shuffled around without the work load to justify any of it.  There are two people being shuffled back into our shop.  J-bird reminded me that the plant manager talked about 80,000 pieces coming in…from SOMEWHERE but there is nothing like that now.  Is this some kind of prep for something on the way?  Does the shuffling of people into our shop mean my demise at Hawker Beechcraft?

The Indoor game starts soon! http://misl.uslsoccer.com/ This means the return of Indoor Soccer and the WICHITA WINGS http://www.wichitawingsindoorsoccer.com/ !!!!!!!!  

PM Prayer: Wuldar/Ullr:
Wuldar/Ullr, god of ski and bow, you glide through the snow-clad forests bringing death to game and life to your people. Remind us that life feeds on life, and that the beauty of the prey is formed generation after generation by the culling ferocity of the predator. Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another guise, so that through the spirit
of the hunter, we may climb its branched to ever higher levels of awareness. HAIL WULDAR/ULLR!!

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! If we live well, Wodan/Odin, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with those who have gone before us until the time comes to live or
fight once more. WODAN/ODIN, HAIL!!!

Meeka for an early afternoon walk:  DAMN IT”S TOO WARM!

What is this, the third…or fourth day of Audrey not feel well?  Amazing…

Work was bothersome.  It’s not easy to work slowly so the work load makes it to the end of shift.  Too, I’m fed up with “the mouth.”  No more mister nice guy.  Things WILL evolve even if they have to first be destroyed!

PM Prayer:  Scata/Skahdi:
Scata/Skahdi, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to
your home where wolves howl. There, teach me to know the pleasure of the hunt, the joy of exertion, and the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness.  Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same justice in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and worthy of you.

 Outcome:  LOVE this Rune!

Audie to plasma first thing this morning

I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to MY music on Youtube.com.  Today I was
enthralled by one of my favorite groups from the 70s: KANSAS!
Song for America
http://youtu.be/2qVWGJhnV78
Icarus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U31IWn22Kw0&feature=related

Set up journal entries for Gelomanod/October

We’re both kind of BLAH today…

Work went extremely well!  I love it when I’m asked to run a machine in an adjoining shop.  It was a “shut down” and I had to come to their rescue!  I can run anything in that area: band saw (and most any other saw they could throw at me), hand router, pin router, broken-arm router, radial drill, shaper-saw and tk-router.  I can do it all and do it all well!  Tonight they asked me to run a shut down on the pin-router.  Boss came over wanting to know when I would have it done.  I told him I would have it to burr-shop by 10pm.  He didn’t think it had a  burr operation, so I had to set him straight.  Sometimes it seems I have to treat these people with kid-gloves.  Jeez!  I certainly hope they appreciate my versatility!  Hey, what can I say?  It’s a gift!  Hehe…

I accepted a full weekend of work; a 56 hr work week; gift or sacrifice?  Yes to both!

 PM Prayer:  Paltar/Baldr
Blameless Paltar/Baldr, shining god, let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving this life a tragedy. PALTAR/BALDR HAIL!

Greetings to you Mano/Manni, silver messenger on high, 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/Manni let us see the
goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  MANO/MANNI, HAIL!!

emotional, spiritual), a Norn Rune, force friction, a stress indicator,
opportunity for change, urgency, a generating force for the greater good,
friction, transformation, resistance leading to strength, an evolutionary change toward a more holistic state, Fate.


Outcome:  Errands:
*Lowe’s http://www.lowes.com/ to return the porch blind because Audie doesn’t think the color matches the other one; her color not available.  Settled for refund.
*Logan’s Roadhouse http://www.logansroadhouse.com/Default.aspx to retrieve her cigarette case she left there last week; cigarettes and case present, lighter absent.
*Menard’s http://www.menards.com/main/home.html up the street from Logan’s to see if they might have some good porch blinds; nope
*Lowe’s http://www.lowes.com/ south from Menard’s only to settle on the same color porch blinds she had in the first place: ARGH!

Put up the porch blinds…Not as stressful as before…It’s a lot easier now.

Pad tags and taxes for Vue: stressful enough to pay all that just for the “privilege” of owning a vehicle.

Work went well.  The amount of work is still dangerously low: stressful!

PM Prayer:  All you gods and goddesses bless and keep your Holy Folk. From the cold shadows of the glaciers to the colder shadows of space, always, we have been your people. Guide and guard your North folk as you did in ages past. Wodan/Odin, give wisdom and craft to wits shaped by ice and fire that our foes be foxed. Donar/Thor, give us strength and the will to use it. Fro/Freyr and Froja/Freyja, give full wombs so that bodies will be found for the souls of heroes. Let your Northern Folk grow in number and in power, so that our kind may live, love, survive and thrive, not just today, not for a
millennium, but for ever and ever!

Outcome:  HAIL HEMIDALL!

Meeka and I for an early morning walk.

Audie still not well

While on the walk with Meeka I was inspired to write a prayer honoring
Bragi:
Bragi:
You are the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds.  As a son of Wodan and Frigg; husband of Idunna, you have the Runes carved on your tongue.  Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead.   Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver Cup of the Everlasting Word (UPG), we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to the gods and ways of our ancestors.  We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the utmost.  HAIL BRAGI!

I also re-wrote the last part of the prayer to Skahdi:
“Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same justice in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and worthy of you.”

For Forseti:
Forasizo/Forseti:
As the son of Baldr and Nanna, we call out to you in our time of need. You are the god of justice and reconciliation.  Remind us that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is right, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, meat-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  HAIL FORSETI!

WOW!  My conscious has thus been expanded!

Some good online time in chat with a Facebook friend from Iceland!  Chatting with anyone from another country is quite an eye-opener; an expansion of consciousness!

It was a WONDERFUL open meeting with Rheinwood.  We gave HAIL to Winter
Finding!  We had an abbreviated Samal involving all the kids.  It’s a pure joy to have them give a hearty HAIL with the windows WIDE OPEN!  I’d bet the little town of Mt Hope didn’t know what to think.  Hehe…

Meeka and I for a late evening walk.

More online time with chat from a Facebook friend from Canada!

Watched the last bit of Jeff Dunham’s new routine; Controlled Chaos

PM Prayer:  The Norns:
The Norns, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urd, Verdandi and Skuld, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.

That which “was” we clearly see.
That which “is” formed now in our deeds.
That which “will be”, will yet be; but cannot see.
We celebrate the Norns, the Ladies Three, for eternity.

Plans:  DAY OFF!!!!

AM Prayer:  Saturday, Day of Fertility/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit,
normally attributed to the (rather obscure) fertility goddess, Saeter (more correctly Saturn), we pray to Sibba/Sif and to Fro/Freyr, lighting green candles (for fertility):
Sibba/Sif let us see you in all the growing things that sustain our lives. Help us look beyond the packaging and promotion, to the richness of the Earth from which all bounty comes. When ordinary eyes see only corn, let us see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let us see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba/Sif, that we may do our work in the world. HAIL SIBBA/SIF!!

Fro/Freyr, you are the god of “Ar”, the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed
the lusty enlarger of life. When the day to day wears us down, remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  FRO/FREYR, HAIL!!

Audie is not quite with it this morning; makes for a rough day.

Pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage; too bad she didn’t want any

Organized bills

Trip to Dillons for their post office

Front yard mowed, trimmed, driveway cleared.

A long overdue heart-to-heart with Audie; sometimes lightening bolts can be painful.

Meeka and I for a walk

To Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ for dog food.  While there I was going to pick up a few other produce items (I really enjoy peaches in-season).  On the display they were priced @ .98lb; at the register they rung up as $1.25lb.  Rather than make a scene @ the register I gave them back at commented to a manager in the produce dept about the disparity.  She seemed less than interested in correcting the price.  I have emailed Walmart my concern for their poor customer service.

The evenings are so cool; so wonderful.  I just couldn’t keep myself indoors.

AM Prayer:  Friday, Friggastag, we pray to Frija/Frigga, Froja/Freyja, lighting gold candles (for Frigg’s spinning thread of gold, Freyja’s golden tears).

Frija/Frigga, teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well.
FRIJA/FRIGGA, HAIL!!

Froja/Freyja, who could not love you?  Women as their own inner glory and highest
attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest.

Outcome:  yuck…

GOOD night’s sleep!

Audie was in a strange mood first thing this morning and needed to cuddle; damn the good luck!

A late start on errands:
Dillons grocery (a bit of a “wrong action” by a Dillons employee towards a
customer pissed off Audie)
Dillons Rx
Dillons petrol
Liquor
Braum’s http://braums.com/DailyMenu.asp for lunch 

JsMrFnChst!  I missed my window to get out of the Union:  ARGH!!!!!!!  No progress here.  Look, I appreciate a good Union as much as the next guy, but this IAM
http://www.goiam.org/utm_src=google&utm_medium=ppc&gclid=COGo_5eStqsCFYPu7QodlxPMyA has lost all of my respect.  For one thing, our jobs have disappeared to Mexico and the Union failed to sound the alert the membership until it was too late.  Another thing is their Union steward lied to my face, and I wasn’t the only one who heard it.  BAH…

Work went well enough.  I raised some shit with the Union as to WHY I want out; which is really a pointless as I cant get out anyway.  Gave them something to do; something to investigate.  Oh, they talk an awful lot but they never really get anything done; kind of like a spinning wheel.

The last hour of work was horrible.  It always sucks when we’re asked to do extra clean-up.  Dust just flies everywhere; pointless.

Meeka for a late night walk

Two beers and a shot of honey-whiskey: BOOM!  BOOM!  Out go the lights!

PM Prayer:  Heimdall:
HEAR ME HEIMO/HEIMDALL, you’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. Your keen eyes and sharp ears guard the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from the Rainbow Bridge leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining home. HAIL HEIMO/HEIMDALL!!

Outcome:  Yeah, I know it was going on 09:00, but getting out of bed was a
bit tough; just didn’t want to do it.  I forgot about taking the neighbor lady
and her dog to the vet.  That eighty pound dog is just out of control!  It’s not
her fault.  She just doesn’t know any better.  It takes a heluvalot for me to
restrain her but it’s doable.  That silly neighbor lady pays us every time we do

Work was extremely slow and boring.  The work-load in the shop is getting dangerously low.  It’s one of those situation of which I have no control, but always hope for the better.  I’m not too sure what/if there will be anything to do tomorrow.

Eger und Rahana/Aegir and Ran, keeper of the deep hall at ocean’s bottom, host to the drowned and the sea lost. Your dwelling might be thought sad and gloomy, but you are known to be kind and hospitable ale givers. In your goodness then, cheer us when waves of misfortune pound our life’s fragile boats to the bottom. For even at the bottom, there is warmth, cheer and hope.

Outcome:  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

First thing this morning I took the car into the dealership for a bake inspection; expecting to need a brake job.  As luck would have it a brake job wasn’t necessary.  The brakes are wearing evenly and are still at 50%!  Hey, they can wear down as slowly as they would like!

It’s such a beautifully overcast day, Meeka needs a walk!

To Dillons http://www.dillons.com/pharmacy/Pages/default.aspx for an ankle brace.  My ankle has been hurting for about a week now.  It’s time to make it be still!

Work went pretty well.  The ankle brace mostly did its job.  I say “mostly” because I just wasn’t driven to take any ibuprofen  like I had in the recent past.

OMGs!  I came home to the unmistakable aroma of ham-n-beans in the process of being WONDERFUL!

PM Prayer:  Nirdu/Njord:
Nirdu/Njord, god of harbors and seas close to land, Father of the Vanir; Freyr and Freyja, help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the
wonderful universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there.

Audie successfully to plasma

While Audie was @ plasma, I had fun sharing music from the 60s in Facebook:
Scott McKenzie: San Francisco
Mommas and the Papas: I Saw Her Again
Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit

Brakes are starting to make a bit of rubbing noise.  Called the dealership to make an inspection appointment.  I’m sure the front brakes will need to be replaced.  Sighs…

Audie had another seizure today.  Rather than leave her to her own devices I found out it’s easier on her if I take her to bed and hold her hand/arm/whatever while she’s going through it.  It’s the right thing to do.

Work went very well.  There was only a hint of shenanigans but at least it was kept between “the boys”; which I greatly appreciated!  They did the right thing!

PM Prayer:  Ostara/Idun:
Ostara/Idun, keeper of the golden apples of youth, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our
