General Motors has announced plans to add a third production shift at its pickup truck assembly plant in Allen County.
The third production shift is expected to begin operation in April, 2010. It's part of a production ramp up by GM. The Fort Wayne plant, which began production in 1986, has never had a third shift before. The plant's second shift was added in 1987. The move will require the hiring of approximately 700 additional workers. The plant currently employs about 3,000. Great news for Fort Wayne!
The production increase is intended to build up inventory of pickup trucks, even though GM admits the market is still not as strong as it once was. However, demand for the Silverado and Sierra pickups has allowed GM to command a 40 percent market share for pickups in North America.
The Fort Wayne plant will take over production of heavy duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups currently made at a Pontiac, Michigan plant set to close this month.
Besides the Fort Wayne plant, GM announced plans to add a third shift to its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kan., in January. That will be followed in April by a third shift at a factory in Delta Township, Mich., near Lansing.
The Fairfax plant makes the midsize Chevrolet Malibu, Saturn Aura and Buick LaCrosse, while Delta Township makes the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook large crossover vehicles.
The company says about 2,400 workers will be recalled at the three plants because of the production increases.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2009 MWL Champions
FORT WAYNE TIN CAPS!!!
The Fort Wayne TinCaps won the first championship in franchise history with a 4-3 victory over the Burlington Bees, Thursday at Community Park. Fort Wayne finished a three-game sweep as four relievers combined on 3.2 scoreless frames and Jaff Decker belted a two-run homer. It is the first Midwest League championship in the 17-year history of the franchis, formerly known as the Fort Wayne Wizards.
Thursday’s win was Fort Wayne’s 101st of the year, counting regular-season and playoff games. That total ties the Midwest League record set by the 1978 Appleton Foxes, who won 97 regular-season games and four more in the postseason on their way to a title.

These last few days I have found myself getting increasingly annoyed. Nothing major, just minor things stacking up on top of each other. Little things like...
A 2 hour home inspection with an inspector that talks... ALOT
Moving my mother in law back to Fort Wayne... how can a single woman have so much STUFF????
Found out my son is not turning in homework in a few classes and getting failing grades
And a few other things I won't talk about here. :) Well, after mowing my mother in law's yard that hadn't been mowed in a month I had just about had it. I come home with the intention to get a good workout in on the treadmill. I walk in and guess what? My wife had just started her workout. Okay, no biggie........ I'll just go on a bike ride instead... GRRRRRRRRRRR
I hop on the bike and I start riding and thinking. I thought about all the little things that have frustrated me lately. I wondered why I let so many little things get to me when I normally don't. I then started thinking about others around me... like my neighbor Steve who just lost his wife last week, or my neighbor Chris who just lost his mom last week, or all the people that died 8 years ago today.
I felt my heart lighten and my body relax. I felt the tension start to leave my body. I then thought about all that I was thankful for and all the great things I have going in my life. I smiled and said the following in my head...
God, thank you for everything that you provide for me, and thank you for helping me see that I need to lighten up and stop taking things so seriously. Life is good!!! Thank you.
Then all of a sudden out of no where:
SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!
A bird pooped on both of my arms. My wife laughed as hard as I've seen her laugh in a while, and she laughs a lot.
Point taken. :)
