On the subject of living with less.......here is an amusing story...
Yesterday I noticed my neighbor had returned home from his Camp-where he has his 5th wheel trailer set up and they go there each weekend for 6 months of the year.
He came in with his dually pickup with a flat trailer attached, his wife arrived with her
Trailblazer with thier box trailer attached...The collection got me wondering...how many tires does my neighbor have on his vehicles
??
So I made a list. Between his dually, her SUV, the 5th wheel, 3-4 wheelers, a box trailer, a dual axle flat trailer, a golf cart and his Harley trike, plus his riding mower, tiller and snowblower, plus the spares on the truck, SUV, 5th wheel and on one trailer, I came up with 50 tires!!!!!!!!! FIFTY tires!!!!!
and 18 axles, 8 batteries, ..
They have no kids. They are not by any means wealthy....he retired this past year but it must be a full time job keeping all those tires and batteries maintained....not to mention registrations and inspections and GASOLINE!!!!!!!!
Thankfully they are very neat and keep all this stuff either in a small garage and shed, or inside the box trailer.
I can't get my mind around it!!!!!
I gotta find something else to do on a rainy Sunday!!!!!!! But all those vehicles arriving at once got to me!!!!
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!!!!!
