OK - Went over to my PR-10 that has a new set of wheels and did the old pinch and pluk test to the on the rear non drive side spokes then went over to my problematic wheel and ... MAN what a difference... The left side was almost loose - So now I just gave all the spokes on the left side an equal 1/4 turn checked and took it out for a ride - I have no idea if this is going to help but I do know for sure that they are abnormally not as tight as they should be - I know the drive side is usually tighter than the left but not really so much the left is loose - We will see what happens...

Wish I had a spoke tension meter but - Oh well - The pinch and pluck test will have to do... Waiting for my new spokes and hoping I don't have a catastrophic wheel failure before they arrive... Still having fun...
