    new operating company to sign my checks. Their benefits - health,401k, non-pension, life ins. & AD&D policies didn't align to my current employer so they made up for it via the new plant owners.
    It's budgetary money - pass through from operating service to owner.

    Figuring I have been hitting it all summer and the $1.8mil bonus was achieved without any major expenses - this was deserved either way

    My Silverado's tranny chit the bed going to work yesterday - 4l60e going into "limp" mode but not really just shifts to neutral above 25mph. Kind of puts a damper on a raise;) dropped it at local shop if they can't figure it out then it goes to the stealership

    '09 with ~86k no where near terminal life.
    acts like a shift module, with none of the 4l60e life expectancy issues.. shifted fine leaving the house, dropped out of OD, then wouldn't drop out of 3rd, next stop sign 1st gear only(reverse works fine) but 1st disengages above 25mph, let it coast back down to ~20mph 1st re-engages.
    Engine will rev up over 25mph just acts like torque converter disengaged or no shift solenoids getting signals - shop said they forced the solenoids and no sounds from the tranny case on the solenoids

    Caffeine going down. Rain coming down.:picard:I never got any tarps down. I was going to go get a couple big ones and put some over barn area this morning but it started raining in the middle of the night. Not good. Clay will be a mess now. We have to start building Monday morning.
