Monday and I'm Angered by Federal Ignorance

Well lets see. this past Thursday I had my usual Physical Therapy session followed by Breakfast at the I-84 Diner. Lots of food. Whoa too much food. But a good visit with an Army buddy.

Friday, worked out in the fitness center had a laugh at the coffee shop. the owner made a connection between me and a semiretired professional wrestler named Hacksaw Jim Dugan. Yes I met the wrestler once. But he was interested in the equipment I worked with. Then called OPM to inquire about my retirement pay. was told that it was refered to a specialist on April1st. asked for a name and phone number. the phone number was to a different shop and there was no answer or return phone call after I let a message. I'm seeing my Congressman's office on Tuesday after my Physical Therapy appointment at the VA Hospital. Yeah lets play ball. I want my entitlement with OPM paying taxes instead of me as a penalty,Like that will happen. Still a hand written apology from the head of OPM for my benefit because you just know that I'll get a lump payment and have a big bite taken out in taxes, thusly screwing me again.

Saturday, Workout and a date. Yes!

Sunday, 5K race finished in 27:00 followed by celebratory binging. 2 slices of pizza, 1 donut, 1 bananna, 1 Guinness, 1 French Dip Roast Beef Sandwich, 1 Newcastle Brown Ale, 6 pints of Sam Adams Boston Lager.

Today, Monday, Bagpipe practice followed later a six mile walk with a visit at WPFD station #2 after a stop at the class 6 store. While at station 2 I showed one of the Firement some things about the M810 Bitumous dispenser that is used as a water tanker. I should send the head of DES/Fire& Emrgency Services a bill for work as a consultant.

Tomorrow. Physical Therapy and a visit to Congressman John Hall's office and possibly Senator Hillary Clinton's too. A full fiscal quarter without my earned entitled retitrement income? Right. I am angry, and now want satisfaction.
