I have an update............and it's not about my car.............it's about ME!!!!!!!!!!
I had a trilogy of great thing happen to me today. First off, work sucked today, but everything else has been great about today. I will list them in order of importance.
1. In the mail today, I got a letter inviting me to an orientation of training for the new Steel Mill that they are building 15 miles up the road from me. It has been publicized that jobs will have a starting base pay of $50,000 and up depending on position. It will still be a while before the plant is finished, as in I don't even know if they have even started yet. This will help the Supra fund a good bit. And not only the pay, but it will probably come with a paid insurance, that would give my wife about a $5000 a year raise as well.
2. Also today, my wife received the first payment on a new child support plan that her EX signed to stay out of jail. He was so far behind, that his new payments to work on his arrears will be like she had a second job. I know that child support shouldn't be considered income, but she is now 18, and I have been supporting her since she was 4 without a lot of support coming in most of that time. Our daughter will be taken care of whether her biological dad has anything to do with it or not, and she will see a good bit of the money when it comes in. I am not counting on him paying it long anyway. Almost every time he has started paying and his payroll gets automatically deducted, it has never been long before he moves on to another job. Maybe that won't happen this time, as he himself has landed a pretty good paying job this time. Our lawyer took advantage of that too! But money on paper is never good in this case, until it is green paper.
3. Then tonight we were sitting in the drive thru waiting on some food, when a radio commercial for the Taste of Chaos tour featuring Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu and more came on. Right after I said that I wanted to go to that, the DJ announced our Daughter as the winner of tickets. She doesn't want to go, so me and my Son are gonna go. Hardly compares to the other two, but you guys know me and my Rock and Roll Concert addiction.
