I'll tell you what keeps me from up and spamming recruiters with my resume (other than the sheer idiocy of that move): my current manager.

That sounds like an exemplary dude.  Those come few and far between.  My lead/manager is similar.  Officially my manager is now a director, but our team lead is who really manages us.  He's an engineer like the rest of us, very much a realist with understanding of family needs, etc.  We had been doing a lot of travel for a certain effort, and he just told me one day to attend the usual conference calls, but other than that no work.  Little things like that make you want to stay where you are.  Simple little things.
