Great story. I only wish that I could have been a spectator. To see this live would have been priceless.

Same boat, but my beautiful blushing bride does drive a PSD. She even has a better trans than I do. But I have the 38R and sticks!

I never got my dually stuck on the road. Only 1 time in my pasture. I can go more places in my dually then I could when I had my '99 2wd, but that is not saying much.

It happens Chris.

My wife would have handled it differently and I would still be out there.

If i got stuck she would absolutely come to the rescue. But, by the time she got done laughing her **** off, i would have the truck strapped off and waiting for the pull. Then she would take her dingle berry and snap a boat load of pictures for texting to all my friends and family. She would even, probably knowing her, would post it on here.. By the time she got done with all of that, we would probably be out of fuel in both trucks.

One of these days I'll get smart enough to drop the trailer as soon as the wheels start spinning. That way I can still have a chance to get myself out. I think Will Rogers said, "When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging". Wish I would have done that. But I'm pretty good at being stubborn.

She was too nervous at first about getting her own truck stuck...... At first.

When I got stuck the second time, she just looked at me and said, "Are you kidding". Then she made me take the picture before she would pull me out.

I keep trying to remind myself of this. Maybe I should write it down or something.
