I got it!!!

So I figured it out. I was standing on the bike and forcing the tick pushing downward on the pedals. I bent over and started feeling the suspicious areas with my hand. Surprisingly the feeling was being generated most strongly in the swing arm. I felt all areas of the swing arm. The non drive side felt fine but from the BB area of the swing arm and back the drive side, it progressively got worse. Traced it back to the removable derailleur hanger/dropout. Guess it needed some new loctite and some more tension on the stabilizing screws! Thanks for all your help guys. So glad to have this kink worked out. Meanwhile I dont think my BB will ever come off again
