    On the throne when suddenly BOOM!!!!

    So I'm taking advantage of the potty in our 315RLTS at a rest area in Tennessee when suddenly there's a tremendous BOOM! Sounded like someone dropped a huge load of 4x8 sheets of plywood next to my camper. The RV didn't blow up around me so I finished my business and went outside to investigate.

    Hmmm...nothing hit the RV or truck, all the tires are up, no smoke or physical damage of any sort that I can detect. As I'm inspecting my rig a sleepy driver comes out of his truck and I ask him if he knows the source of the sound. He shrugs his shoulders and says, "I need to look at my tires." Sure enough, one of his trailer tires spontaneously dismounted from the wheel! The sound was the explosive decompression. I was maybe 15' from that tire while I was doing my business. Good grief!

    Well that was easy. Much better than running 65 mph down the hwy and no place to pull off.

    When overseas sitting on the privy the rockets started coming in.By the time I was done so were the rockets. Figured if one hit me I would never know it anyways. Besides whats more important.

    I'm impressed with the dedication shown, despite the explosions, rockets and all, that y'all persevered in your contribution to the areas sewage system.

    Someone needs to write an anthem about it.

    Thanks for the laugh this morning folks. Good stuff.
