Was it fate that I didn't make WF09?

Well I knew my alignment was a tick out on the wagon so I took it in to get looked at. Shortly after getting it in the bay the manager told me I needed to come see my tierods. He shows my the defection of the wheel and I knew it needed to be fixed right then and there. Now at the time I didn't think anything of it till I talked to my wife on her break and she brought up how lucky it was we didn't take that trip as it could have been very bad. So while I truely missed being there and sharing in the comorderie of everyone there, I am glad nothing bad happened.
