I saw him walking around the offices trying to be busy. thanks if the offer isnt good, i will be looking. 20yrs with firm down hole.

I can't imagine communicating anything about salary through text message, and I work in technology with a bunch of nerds who have zero social skills.
Having a good work/home-time balance is great, but in the end you are at work to get paid. It sounds like you provide a good value to your employer and they know it.
