Hi all!!
Been hard at it this morning and haven't had a chance to check in yet. Rushed out of work yesterday and grabbed the bike and the dog to hit the trails. Decided the truck was too dirty for proper mack, so I stopped by the car wash and sprayed her off. Hey.....whadda ya know? My truck was actually SILVER!!! ........The pollen had me convinced I had, at some point, gone and had it painted a light yellow.
Had a great session at the DJ's. SHot the sh*t for awhile, jumped a few sets, shot some pics, shot the sh*t for awhile, jumped some sets.......you get the idea. It was a fun way to end the daylight, and one of those rides that really got me excited about............well, riding.
Got home, and Justine had some grilled salmon and veggies waiting for me. Life is good. I've ridden four days straight and the yard needs some serious attention. Gonna take a break from two wheels today and ride four around the yard for a bit. Here's a few shots I took from yesterday's session.

Well......I would imagine that it's pretty similar to your location given what I can remember of that area. I'm located right in the middle of NC, so the further East you go, the more it flattens out, the further West, it gets into the foothills and mountains. Beauty part about it is, I can go 2.5 hrs in either direction and be either at the beach or in the mountains--Va. or NC mountains, that is.

Good morning, stosh. It is still morning here, so cram it. I put my new 105s on the roadie last night, so I am riding for cinco de mayo. Julie is doing some deal with her mom, so I may make margaritas and getting tanked after the ride.
:love:

yay thanks!I just had the hardest conversation ever with my boss...I told him what I wanted, in terms of salary and PTO - AND (while I sat there, heart pounding, waiting to be told I was a greedy no good employee), he told me he was proud of me for speaking up and that he thought what I wanted was reasonable, and appreciated my tact and ability to place a positive spin on things (versus my way or the highway)!!!!
He wants the specifics in writing along with a potential JD by this afternoon...my blank MS Word file has yet to be filled in...

Good for you, Junior B. It takes a lot of guts to confront your employer like that. Hopefully something will come of it.
I just Googled "reasons Jr B deserves a raise" but nothing came up.H8R said:

When I confront my boss he sticks his head in the sand and waits for me to go away.
Well...technically the raise part is already done...he signed that into effect yesterday afternoon and it's going retroactive, so it'll hit when I get paid this month...I Are Baboon said:
But, that raise still doesn't bring me close to the low-end of the "average" salary range for someone doing my job in this area of the world...
So I explained that to him, and then said that I know the company's finances may not be able to accommodate that large of a jump in my salary at this time, and Money on it's own is not what I want. So I explained I'd be more than willing to accept the equivalent change in salary, in PTO, and set that time off for specific times of the year when I'm not needed here at the office as much (School District offices are rarely in session in July, or a whole lot in December).
This afternoon I have to give him the specs of how it'll work...
My thought is this - we figure the $$ amount of the raise, then determine how many days' worth of pay that is equivalent to. We set achievable objectives for me to "grow" into and prove my ability to take on this new supervisory role and make my team successful, and as I reach each goal, I "win" a certain percentage of additional PTO to be used at my discretion.
There has to be a cap on how much PTO I can earn, after I reach the max, then we revert back to a standard salary adjustment schedule.
What do you guys think?
