Went to use the utility trailer last night, loaded it with dirt and noticed one tire was low. Admittedly I haven't kept tabs on them like I should but I always seem to be checking tires all the time. So I counted how many I have to maintain.
Not unused stuff but things I use often. Cars, trucks, trailers, spares, bikes, tractor, wheel barrels, etc...

I came up with 46 tires to keep tabs on.
What's everyone else got?

38 here. You've got me beat.

But if you count the kid's bikes, that's another 12, so then that gives me 50.

No wonder I'm so tired all the time!

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
