Random observation from Randy: "It's probably something simple, like a rock in your wheel."
Me: "You think so?"
Randy: "I have no idea."
O joy of joys, that's exactly what is was! Must have picked it up off-roading in The Shawnee National Forest. And - believe it or not - the nice mechanics at Goodyear took care of it free of charge. They get a nice letter to management and a shout out on Yelp.
After that business we headed to breakfast and then off to Louisville. More "scenic highways" and forests. There's not much to show until we got into the city.
The Louisville Bats are a nod to the Louisville Slugger factory. They are the Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. Tonight they are matched up against the Charlotte Knights, which just happens to be the Triple-A squad belonging to the Chicago White Sox.
Again, our Chicago affiliates were winning until the home town came through with a bunch of runs late in the game. Here are a few pictures of the park, Louisville Slugger Field:

Bridge into Louisville. The stadium is right by the river.

Favorite Signs: Harry's Smoked Pig
Joey D's Barbecue and Self-Storage
Favorite Town Name: Grrec, KY (yes, two R's)
White House, TN
Random observations from Randy:
"The key to a good sign is to make it readable. I have no idea what that just said."
" There's more of a prosperity vibe on this trip. Most of our trips,things seemed run down and closed up. Of course, we're not in Ohio yet."
