Randall, my hat off to you on this! What a heck of way to resolve your problems with your wife's request for you to quit flying?! Instead of quiting fly, you simply replace the boss and continue to flying regardless?!! I can see that for some of us, nothing can change what we love to do in life, with or without the support from the other half, needless to say an encounter of a component failure or even an inflight anomaly...!!
