Watched an interview tonight with the guy who loads and operates this giant trailer, onthe news tonight.. He said that it had just under 200 wheels, so my guess is that the 196 is most likely the accurate number...

Hey Bill,
Jack is good. Real good. I'd say close to 100%. We're still finishing off a couple of the meds that he was put on, but our routine with him is back to normal.
Now the bill for all that....that may take a month or two to absorb. Just short of $3K was the charge.

Happy to hear that he is feeling well. It's only money.

Excellent 
Palo Verde & South...a little over a mile away. Maybe I'll go count the tires.
Might be easier when it's parked, though.

La Mirada and Leffingwell for us. I thought that corner had been demolished and cleared, but I was mistaking it for another corner. There doesn't seem to be enough off street parking for something like that. But Leffingwell is wide there with a center turn lane, so I'm thinking they will just park it on the street. That won't be so great for viewing.

La Mirada and Leffingwell. Man that brings back memories. I grew up less than 2 miles from there. 13627 Leffingwell Rd. I used that Google map link to check out the old homestead. Can't really see the house very well (it sits on the back of the property) because someone planted a tree in front after I left (I haven't lived there in 35 years! LOL) Even the fence is different, when I lived there it was a wooden three rail fence. Now everything is chain link, and there is even a gate for the driveway. The neighbors houses all look spruced up too. It blows me away how much it has changed.

There's a couple of videos on YouTube that drive around this whole rigging.
While watching them, one could count the number of tires if so inclined.
There are three tractors as well, and that would add 30 tires by themselves.
See:

Here's Part 2:

I count 206, the three tractors included.
