SSD rejected.

I was pretty sure that would be the case.  So I'm not... bowled over by it.  I was hoping for a better ruling, but expected this one.  I have sixty days to fight the ruling.  I... couldn't make sense of the rest of it.  I sent it to someone who can read it and make sense of it from an uninvolved point of view.

If I think about fighting it, with a ruling in hand, I will again check with a few lawyers.  I have doubts if any will take the case.  They wouldn't even after I got them the information they wanted.  Still, it is the only way.  Without a lawyer, it probably isn't worth trying.  Not that I definitely won't, only that... I know the odds.

I suspect most veterans are being cut.  Or, certainly, conservative ones are.  It's just the way this admin will work.  More ssi handouts, fewer payouts to disabled vets, it's just how it works.  Redistribution to more, and less to all, sort of thing.  With a side dose of politics.  Regardless what the ruling actually says.

At least it is what I was expecting.

With work earlier, and the night run, I'll be ready for bed shortly.  It is still 80 in here, in the front room.  With everything turned off and much of the house opened while I was gone.  Ugh.  A shower will help.  And, maybe a shave.  I'm not sure if the beard has been making me itchy all over, but it wouldn't surprise me.

If I can get to bed, I'd like to try to wake early enough to do a bit more work, as I did today, but when it is cooler.  More branches out to the trailer, and perhaps that unloaded.  More bigger branches into a pile.  And the pile already created moved out, the cinder blocks placed... along with a few t-posts at each end, then all restacked.  As well, those bigger branch lengths need cut to the right size, some possibly need split out, and then those stacked on top of the cinder blocks as well.

Oh, not... all tomorrow.  That might take me all summer.  As well as splitting out the other wood, which has already been cut into firewood lengths.  A neighbor was by today.  We talked about the wood.  He said he himself had given the wood a few swings, and decided it was as strong as oak.  So... yeah.  If I can split one or two of those a day, that... would be good exercise, and about my limit... if I can do even that.

Actually, I feel pretty good.  The tunnel vision is almost gone.  I am becoming tired, after sort of getting better from the earlier exertion.  I am going to try to push it, some here at home, some helping others.  If I can get to even ten hours a week, I'll be happy.  Twenty hours would be preferable.  Just not in this heat, and as and when possible.  Dubious but... possible.  Sometimes.

Good night.
