All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god!
WODAN!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; 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!

Havamal 156.
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.

Utterance: EIHWAZTYR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interpretation: Stress (Eihwaz), but it’s the sacrifice (Tyr) that must be made.
Outcome: Eihwaz and Tyr? Stress and sacrifice? Oh hel yes! It’s barely sunrise. It’s already 74F/23C. It’s humid. It’s the coolest part of the day, relatively speaking. Toby and I trudged through to get his one-mile walk in. By the end of it we were both barely moving. It might not have been so bad if I hadn’t stayed up late 23:00/11PM (for me that’s late) to watch the USA/Panama match last night.
YES, the heat bitching has begun!
Essie greeted us at the door upon completion of Toby’s walk. She THOUGHT about wanting to go outside but quickly negated that thought. She has been so loveable this morning.
Trip to the bank https://www.emprisebank.com/ to deposit mileage check.
Okay, so I caved to a craving. I CRAVED the McDs breakfast burrito.

Temps reached 100F/38C for the first time this year; unlike last year when we were already baking in 100F temps. Now THAT’S stressful (Eihwaz) with the Sun so excited (Tyr).
Welding class went well enough. We started butt welding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_welding.
