That's why my wife is the greatest. At first she had a hard time dealing with me being gone weeks or months at a time. But she adapted....strong minded gal. When I wised up and started to pay attention she relaxed some. 35 yrs and still counting ! I still get that fuzzy feeling everytime I see her and her me. Takes a strong woman to put up with the likes of some of us ! 8 more yrs I'll be 65. That will be it for me. I'll park the ole bucket of bolts and just tinker on the other things I have accumilated over the yrs.........at least that's the plan.....y'all know how plans change ! LOL

A strong home front will always help the 1/2 that travels for their work while the 1/2 at home is strong and frugal. My Mom ran a household/farm/animals and 6 kids that never missed a practice, or anything, while Dad was gone over 50% of the year.Happy partnership = a happy life. That’s so cool what you said about fuzzy feelings. Everyone doesn’t get that

Unbelievably so. If you look at that pic of the 4300 interior,that huge dash panel on the passenger side comes off in about 10 seconds without tools. Three thumbscrews on the top,then it swings open,and you slide it off the hinges,set it in the sleeper. Instant access to everything. All the main electrical is there,plus that little door in the center swings open too. Loadstars,and even the small IH trucks had their fusebox in the front of the glove compartment,brilliiant idea. You don't have to be a contortionist to try and crawl up under a dash,looking for a blown fuse. IH did have some good ideas.

When I saw the circuit breakers on the OUTSIDE of the glove box on my 359 I said now this is a truck

I was single for 15 yrs after my divorce, took time to even think about trusting again. This October be 14 yrs of marriage and I feel lucky to have someone I can trust, and she understands my lifestyle..... on the road all the time. I guess we are just good guys.... lol

The only time I ever had a problem was in Monte Carlo. I was at the baccarat table and this Russian looking model was giving me the eye. Her older looking gangster “boyfriend” didn’t like it and sent two of his goons over to give me a beating. Those two obviously didn’t know about my Navy SEAL training and I Kung ##’d the #### out of them. Mr. Big the gangster was quite unhappy. So I suggested we get a deck and see who pulls the high card for the girl. He wanted a $100,000 bet, and I gladly obliged. He pulled the king of spades, and I gotta admit for the first time in my life I was a little nervous. Then BOOM I get the ace of hearts. It was only fitting that I get the girl and the cash. We had to get out of their quick because he probably had more goons coming. I dialed a phone number of a MI-6 agent I had met while on top secret duty in Bahrain. He lent me his Aston Martin and his bungalow for the weekend.

I had to fly back in Monday to move some top secret military loads. I gave Svetlana the balance of the $100k. All it would have done is create problems for me.

Yup. Just a weekend for Otter in a dangerous city.
