Yesterday morning we did a little trail work.. we had a couple of down tree snags that Laurie had come across snowshoeing.. so we got what we could of that cleaned up. Dave had messaged us from Georgia.. that there was something going on at the mill and Ray asked for some help. We were told 1:00- 4:00.. and come to find out we were only needed from 2:30 to 3:30... oh well... Angela was also there with us. We went for a little bike ride from Angela's afterward.. and stayed for supper.
Dave got home about 2:00 this morning... and we were back over for Easter.
We don't know a lot about working with Dave yet. His supervisors see the need, but need to work out some details. His first big event is in a few weeks.. others are in "charge" of this one.. so he is there to just help.. and learn.. and it does not look like us.. or his family will be with him on this one. I am going to help him on some bikes tomorrow... I am not getting direct compensation for this... but he does take care of us. He gave me a slightly used pair of mountain bike shoes today. Some he had.. that don't fit him well.. and they just gave him a new pair. They are a $400.00 dollar pair of shoes... and they fit me great.
He told Laurie today.. that he just ordered her new bike. It's a demo.. that she will be able to use [exactly how much I don't know yet] he already has mine. These are road bikes [the mountain bikes will be later] These are $11,000 dollar bikes!!! The down side to using them.. is getting used to something that nice.
Of course the end of each year.. all these bikes will be for sale... and they would be a great deal.. but a great deal on an $11,000 dollar bike.. will still be a bit. Of course is we get new demo's the next year.. why buy? Of course there are a lot of variables there.
So it's all a little at a time.. step by step as we learn it all.
He has some phone meetings tomorrow.. around lunch time.. so I suspect I will just work with him in the morning... so I can do some work here after.
