At 6:40 am this morning, driving west bound on I94 and preparing to turn on the exit to highway 45 north the car came toa halt and not realizing that the car in front of me actually cam to a stop and not slowed down, I rearended him at low speeds. I was driving the families 1997white Ford Areostar. well to put a long story short it was a three care accident and I don't know if he hit the car in front of him before I hit him. The Guy didn't have insurance and the police officer had his car towed. the impact damaged my radiator and the grill was knock in. Radiator fluid spilled out. Well that ended the trip to work with the Areostare I called my wife Angela to take me in to work and had my mechanic deal with getting the van to his shop. Not sure what the blue book is on the van but if it cost more then $300 to fix then it isn't worth it.
So that is how my day started. I was 30 mins late to work when I am usally 15 mins early. Now I was sore and working and down one vehicle in a family of nine soon to be ten. because I was the one that rear ended the car I got the ticket. that's another $200.
Well Now that the bad stuff got out of the way, I suppose we can get to the good stuff.
For the last two weeks I have been courting a maintenance position at a food plant in southern Wisconsin. Yesterday Afternoon I went down to their plant for an interview and the HR called at 1:05 pm offering me a position on their maintenance team. hat is a $3 more an hour where I am currently working at Briggs and Stratton. Well of course I accepted and since Briggs was only through a temp service I told them I would be able to start Monday.
With the new wage and lots of overtime the Austin family will be able to move forward and bring our planes to fruitation.
I give the glory to our father in Heaven for allowing me to have this and many other wonderful opportunities.......
