I just stood there for a few seconds trying to figure out what happened, then the smartazz in me thought the bottle should have a warning label "Don't open bottle near truck"!

If you didn't have bad luck, you'd have no luck at all!

Just like the sign that should be required on electric fences..........."Do no **** on the Fence"

The shoulder wear is an alignment issue, as for the cupping, the owner of the tire store said he has seen this type of wear before, but has no idea what causes it to happen and when it does happen the tire has never been rotated. So his best advice was to rotate the tires front to back. So from now on I'm going to rotate my tires annually.
The new tire still looks great, no signs of wear. Every time we stopped the first thing I did was take temperature readings across the tread of all the fiver tires and the new tire readings were comparable with all the others.
The trip was a blast but it was nice to be back home and sleep in my own bed with my own wife.

Wife says "if you keep waking up the kids in the AM (loud truck) you are gonna have to find another place to stay".
I say, "I have another place to stay" (I think that was the wrong answer
). Looks like muffler time for me
Enjoy your week!
