    Well it's a deal.  I am leaving the great state of Wisconsin.  Moving to Austin, MN area.  I am now a senior electronic technician for our Engineering R&D group.  I think this will be a fun job, basically a junior controls engineer. 

    Now to sell my house...  Anyone want to move to Platteville?  Everything redone on the house, nice warm garage with 60A 240 service...

        Congrats John! Take the kids to the SPAM museum when you get up there. Culver's even serves spamwhiches in that town.

        Colin nobody cares about your new mustang.

                    Friday finally!!!

                    Possibly my last Friday as a carpenter.

                    Supposed to be switching to ironworkers union next week (Monday) or the week after.

                    Pay is close.....I think a dollar an hour more.

                    Benefits......much better!!!

                    What prompted the switch?

                      A good majority of the work I do in the door industry would be considered ironworkers work.

                      Rolling doors, high speed doors, fabricating, dock equiptment, etc.

                      The carpenters and ironworkers unions both recognize that there aren't enough of either to do all the work. "Composite crews" (one of each) are allowed. Hiring guys out of the union halls can be hit or miss when it comes to door experience....more miss honestly.

                      With me having 20yrs experience and approx 20 more years to work it makes good sense to switch and be a "company" iromworker.

                      Hope this makes sense.

                        Changed the ATF on the van, now i want sweet and sour chicken.

                        I was looking for the trans oil capacity and found siennachat forums. i saw an offtopic section. I didnt dare venture in, but im sure the threads are like "Does anyone else hate the way Huggies brand diaper wipes smell?!?!?"

                              Wife's DD is a Honda Odyssey. I'd imagine the topics are very similar!!

                              The Odyssey does have something like 18 cup holders......kids and wife complained when I bought the Touring...."where do you put your drinks?"

                              No drinks I said!!!

                              Back ones were inoperable when I bought it, 1 front one as well.
