Just wondering if you are superstitous enough not to set your shock preload or volume control to 13? It is hard enough to avoid problems on the road without setting yourself up for bad luck

I prefer to drink my pint in peace, but I can see you are in need of a good beating and I'm always willing to help a poor bastard out.

| I'd set my preload to 13 if I could do it without walking under that darn ladder...

I was born on the 13th, and have had on bad luck to speak of during my life. I set most everything that needs a preset setting at 13. Also us the 13 in any other thing where I need to have a random number. Just a bunch of baloney that people are superstitious about most things actually{IMHO}.

When I first started working on a farm, our tomatoes were packed thru a large packing house, owned by old blue bloods.
They had nothing with the #13 on it.
Coolers ran up to 12 then jumped to 14.
No radio call #13.
No grower #13.
I mean the whole sheabang!!
I think it's rediculous. I've had black cats, a green motorcycle and walked under ladders many times.
Only fell of the dang things three times.

Mason and Ball canning jars all have numbers on the bottom. I have been told that you will never find a Mason brand canning jar or a Ball canning jar with the # 13 on the bottom. The moonshiners break them all because they beleive they bring bad luck. should you find one with #13, a collector will give a small mint for it.
