There was a BP station here where the owner got caught with a garden hose running to the gas tank and mixing the fuel with water
Wonder if the federal pay scales have gone up alot recently for a COLA inrease?
I'm sure per mile travel pay has. Changing so quick the travel pay sections are pulling hair.
Retirement or Salary?
Retirement:
It'll come out in January
CSRS (old system)
FERS (new system)

Goodmorning!
Calm and sunny. Last day for a while. Sunday rain. For 5 days. I have been watching videos on the water level at Lake Mead. Its nuckin futz! First thing to get cut off is agriculture to keep the cities going. Has to be done i guess.
Up here our water levels are at an all time high.

If they want me to come into the office, it's roughly a 200 mile round trip.
Speaking of retirement wife got her Guard retirement back pay yesterday. She's now an official member of the club.
With her deployments she got her retirement two years early.

I’m hybrid, i usually work 2-3 days a week from home. Actually more productive than in the office.
but I only work 7 miles from home now so it’s not terrible. It’s the 40 mile round trip to daycare in the opposite direction that sucks. Wife drops off cause she works 3 miles from daycare but she doesn’t clock out until after pickup time so I have to pick up.
last I saw, 3.5 percent

That’s an increase. When I was being reimbursed 2 years ago, it was .37 per mile
Retirement COLA for 2022 was 5.9 for CSRS and 4.9 for FERS
Believe SS was also at 5.9
2023 will be interesting
Pay raise was 2.2% for 2022
2023 President budget is 4.6% for Feds and Military.. K¤ngre$$ is talking 5.1 I think..
I really enjoyed the tool business but I do wish I worked somewhere that had some retirement benefits. SS is all I have.
I just fell into what I did. Wish I have stayed AD in the USN, be set now then the post office afterward.

Yep. And tonight, I’m surprising the wife with an early Anniversary date night. Have a friend that’s going to babysit the minions over night and taking the wife to a 5 star steak house in Indy. Expensive night but worth it. Anniversary is 10 days away but I have drill that weekend and she works the weekend after. So I’m celebrating early. Sad the new ear rings I ordered back in May haven’t come in yet but oh well
Well good on you. Happy Anniversary to you two!

It's Falcon Friday!
Good morning
Good morning
Falcon Friday. Yes it is.
How about Firedome Friday? 1952 vintage.
Gas prices were the cause for our show this past weekend. Just a little over half of what normally shows up.
