 Starting a new chapter in my life!Well I finally decided to make a big jump and get the hell out of flat rate and the auto industry!
I start today at John Deere 4 rivers as a hourly heavy equipment tech w/ overtime and a bonus program. Crystal and I have been just making it by and not really going forward for sometime. I'm fed up with just making it and I do believe this is my chance to finally get ahead and stay there :) Just thought I'd share the thought because I'm so excited for the change! Time to dive head first into the world of diesel and hydraulics, plus I get to fabricate for my job again. I know some of diesel and hydraulics but have a lot to learn! _________________ 75' bronco, 302, carb'd for now, i'm gathering parts for efi, 3g alternator, saginaw pump, 4x4x2 box, fw hp44, fw 9", N.P. 435 w/ gearbanger shifter, twin stick'd dana 20, 2" BL, 5.5" wildhorses lift, and 35" km2's |

Re: Starting a new chapter in my life! Congrats! A new career path is often as much about the challange as it is the money, but it is always nice to get some of both!
