Who says reinventing the wheel is a waste of time?
+1 I recall at one point in my 30s I thought about ditching it all, buying some acreage and a cabin and living off the land - gardening, canning, hunting, fishing, heating with wood harvested off our land, etc. We would have needed to pay for electricity, property taxes, gasoline and some other costs but we did have a decent nestegg at the point. I think we could have made it work but the more I thought abut it all that gardening, hunting , fishing, chopping wood, etc sounds like a lot more work that what I was doing at the time.

PS I analyzed my own tire situation and realize I have 20, including spares. ( SUV, vintage car, Harley,tiller, snow blower and riding mower.)
For ONE person. Does that not seem excessive?!?!?!?!?
Think Im gonna by stock in Goodyear!!!!!
If it is a pneumatic tire, I counted it...Oh wait. I see that someone also counted his hand truck. Damn!
Once I start counting the tires on our bikes and kids bikes (total of 9.5 bikes), number of tires quickly goes through the roof. We need another metric, like number of tires / person. Otherwise, it is unfair that Kramer can get away with a smaller household number .
I'm willing to just count combustible engines. Of those, I also have too many.
If your engines are combusting, you may want to have someone look at them...
Dammit, and I've said that for years not realizing it is actually combustion! Smarty pants Texan.
LOL, Would it have been such a waste to build his hut tall enough to stand up in?

Only that other Texan can go sans clothes, and really just without his shirt!
Put your pants back on!
It is true that combustion engines are also combustible.If your engines are combusting, you may want to have someone look at them...
