I think they tried to "blinker fluid" me.

    Lol!

    I had a great streak in fall of '16 and '17 catching a handful 6-7# Largemouth each year. That probably doesn't sound too impressive to people in the south, but it's pretty good for Wisconsin!

    Thank you! It was nice to finally catch some bass so big that I didn't have to lie about it! :D

    I think (and I'll mention that I'm a drummer, so I don't think often...) you should go with your idea to go to an independent shop and have it looked over. will cost a few bucks but worth it. just chalk it up as a learning experience that will make you better prepared in the future. We've all had 'em.

    Awesome! This is a interesting topic, there are lots of tire shops that hire people to do work, and they may never have heard of "road force" balance, it's just that they haven't been in the business very long and may have never heard of it. We take our 4Runner to a Good year shop and the guy that does ours has knowledge beyond his years, and will tell me the tires that balance "well", or the tires that give them the most probs. Have you 2 "bass" people ever ridden in a "Bass-mobile"? Just checking, ha ha. Love fishing for Bass, btw.. long time retired drummer here also, still have the kit, Pearls @ Tama1968. Good luck on the tire issue TnBassGirl!

    That's awesome! I love to fish but nothing like what you've caught there even though our lakes are full of them around here! I just have a little John boat for fishing.

    Nice bass line up there! I just have one electric bass, a five string Peavy cirrus that I don't play much and then two uprights that I play often. Good to find a kindred spirit.

    Update:
    For peace of mind I went to an independent tire shop and asked that they check the balance of all four tires (without telling them what happened at Costco). All four tires were each out of balance by more than 2.5 ounces. The wheel in question has a slight bend in it. I will be taking it back to Costco eventually to get the Nitrogen replaced to open up my options on tire care but other than that, lesson learned. I'm done with Costco for tires.

    I love the full acoustic sound of the doghouse the best as well.
