....so perhaps start by adding up bike wheels, skates(ice/ inline; each pair
equal 2), same for paddles, footwear: 2pts/pair, skis- ....(perhaps skis
should be 1point/pair, and boots 1pt/pr)....divide the total by 2(or not)
I could do well at this as I am inclined not to throw anything out.

Yuh, two bicycles, one pair of skiis, and three pairs of hiking boots
would add up OK, but I'd do marginally better counting boats at two
points each than at counting paddles. But what is a climber gonna
count? Harnesses?

However it's done, I will proudly rank higher on this index than on
the cylinder index (10; a V-twin motorcycle and a V-8 van). To my
mind, motors are for the road (yeh, the motorbike's almost as much fun
as boating, and I've got nothing against sportscars, on pavement), but
"powersports" is an oxymoron, and 99% of jetskis, ATVs, snowmobiles,
and SUVs should be crushed for scrap.

A cartoon show, King of something, did an episode mocking the
absurdity of huge lawn-tractors.

OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters.
