Plans: class
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, 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; 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 HAIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

A fourteenth I know: if I needs must number
the Powers to the people of men,
I know all the nature of gods and of elves
which none can know untaught.
Outcome: Donar’s Rune (Thurisaz/defense) on Donar’s day, coupled with Laf (life’s experiences); I am defended by life experiences…PERFEKT!
If Toby was ever perfectly behaved, today he was the King of perfekt behavior on his 1-mile walk. Oh, there was one time late in the walk he tested his ability to stroll across the dirt road near an intersection, but he quickly responded to voice command.
Machining class went fine, as did CATIA.

Helping my brother is put off until tomorrow
Checking out the snail-mail, the Unemployment people are trying to penalize me for not turning in a weekly work-search, but according to the TAA people I’m exempt form work-searches because I’m in an approved training program. JEEZ! It’s next to impossible to get to talk to anybody connected with the unemployment office, so my best bet will be to have my TAA rep contact them. At least that’s the plan of attack for now. This is a fight (Thurisaz) I must battle in this life experience (Laf)/
Early to bed…REALLY tired

HEAR ME HEIMO, Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods. You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, 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 Ensiwë
g, 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 homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
