I don't know what else to do. I'm taking it to the bike shop this afternoon along with my truing stand (in case they want to see this exactly how I saw it first hand) to see what they think.

Also - I mentioned this once before, but not lately and wanted to remind you folks something. The particular bump in my rim, it's right where the rim comes together to make a circle. You know how I said there are 2 spokes that appear to be causing this bump? One spoke is on one side, one spoke is on the other... but both are next to each other, since these two spokes are the "end spokes" of the rim that come together to make the circle. Any relevance here?
ooh! The bump is right where the rim seam is then, this makes sense. Can you estimate how much the bump sticks out? it is very common for rims to have a little bulge at the seam (i think i mentioned that before). These bulges should be ignored during truing
