Making people post up their tire count was like a freaking mental health check and we’re all not doing so well 🤣

 

[moab_cj5]

Let's see:
Bikes: 12
Scooters: 8
ATV/Motorcycle: 6
Cars: 20
Trailers: 8

Doesn't count riding lawn mower, wiggle cars, or hoverboards, rc cars, etc.

Agreed, I didn't count a bunch of mower/lawn/other kids stuff. Depressing. I'm ready to re look at the minimalist thread again.

I have a co-worker that just has two SUV's between him and his wife. Not even a truck. If he gets a flat tire he calls AAA and all maintenance is done at the dealership. My natural instinct is to cringe at his lack of masculinity but sometimes I wonder if he's right and I'm wrong

Then I think about how bored his young children must be and the legacy he's leaving for them and I feel better. They've never even been camping. Onward on the path of too many tires for the time being!

 

[DaveB]

Vehicles 47
Motor cycle/UTV/ATV 16
Bikes 24
trailers 18
other 14
Tot 119

Agreed, All of the vehicles/toys help with some fun, but I think I need to downsize and buy less nicer stuff instead.

 

[glockman]

Vehicles 18
Bikes 8
Scooters 4
Motorcycles 12 on bikes, more on the wall rack to be swapped in if needed.
ATV's 8
Trailers 15
Total 65

I will add that my wife HATES tires. The last 2 times I've replaced the tires on my truck she said "we already put tires on the truck" As if they aren't a consumable.

I think that's the ticket for me too but then I randomly start looking at 30 year old Jeeps on KSL like

We just finished up a Flip your Strip program where you get a rebate for taking grass out of your park strip. Here is what the end product looks like.

I have 2 triple axle trailers and a dually, adding up all the tires I have to maintain would literally make me cry so Im not going to do it......

 

[DesertRam]

Pulled out the stump of a nectarine tree the bores killed last year. The cheap tree strap that came with my high lift recovery kit wasn't up to the task. I'll take recommendations on a good US-made replacement.

Now that my back patio is finished I have really enjoyed sitting out on it in the evening and mornings. May as well add a TV that is on a movable mount so that I can rotate it towards the hot tub also.

 

[Coco]

Amateur numbers. Right now, I have 1780 tires. All new too.

Trying to get some sprinklers put back in after we ripped up a bunch of line.
I have a hard time trying to balance the ‘get it done’ and ‘teach a boy to work’ aspects.
My son and his buddy have been digging for an hour or so, and have done about 10 minutes of my work load. But they are laughing and having a good time. And truth be told, I think the buddy comes from the kind of home that doesn’t even own a shovel. So it’s probably good to be letting them do it all.

With my oldest about to turn 7 I've been really thinking about this lately. He's much more inclined to sit inside and read or draw but I've got to start including him with my work. Like you said though, it's a get stuff done verses teach the boy some stuff trade off.

If you need some more poly pipe, I've got about half a spool of 1" poly leftover from re-doing mine.

Since I am in quarantine for round 2 of Covid I tackled a project while my daughter played in the sprinklers (OK so it took a lot longer then when she played in the sprinkler and really tookna out 6 hours) i ran wire for and installed outdoor speakers on the new patio that is on the side of the newish garage. I had to shimmy in the attack to run speaker wire (i like them hardwired) and into the wall. I ran out of banana plugs so I will pick up more....but I am getting excited for when I get a gas firepit built for it and sit out and relax with tunes
