We got more rain and again the whole area flooded. Not as bad as before but still water around the house.

I jacked the P15 up this morning and checked the wheel (whether they turn).

Rear back left seems a a bit stuck, rear left turns.

Front has the discbrakes.

I can also now remove the engine oil/water....

As the water keeps coming I think I will have to buy one of these :

Around 50.000 US$ but I can sell my Boston Whaler :)

They use those "ducks" in Branson, MO and other places as tourist

rides. They give you a duck call and tell you to use it when you

meet another duck going the opposite direction. The driver does

commentaries about local stuff while driving in the area. Then they

go to the water and take a brief "swim". They let our daughter steer

it for a bit since it was her birthday that day.

You might buy one of those and develop a whole new business John.

Here's a link to a video about the Branson ducks.

They have duck tours in San Francisco. And I saw them in London, England a year ago too. Must have made a bunch of those ducks back in WW2 if every town that has a tourist area near water is running tours.

Had a friend years ago that had one. He got pulled over for driving it on a residential street (exceeding weight limit). As I understand it, he convinced the officer that it weighed less than 5 tons and got out of the ticket! :eek:
