Stationary blow out...

Our F150 that I use to work on the sides of our roads hasn't been driven since 05 or so. Tires were put on it in 03 or so. Never worried about the tires getting baked by the sun when we were in AZ. Few nights ago around midnight we heard what sounded like a gun shot. Figured it was just the neighbor chasing off the coyotes. It wasn't....

Whew, a tire issue.  That's a big relief.  I thought you were talking about your stomach bug!

Nope....but the stomach bug is still kicking my arse....literally

Malaysian rubber termite damage. It's an invasive species introduced to North America in cheap bicycle tires. You'll need to get one of those cans of Raid that's made to screw on to a schrader valve.

Won't work....big hole with steel hanging out of it....

Took the bike to town to day. Put it back in the garage when I got home. Came inside and Ernestina asked me what was wrong with the bike, it popped when I shut it off. Went outside to do something.....the pop wasn't the bike....it was one of the front tires on the truck...
