Green grass and high tides...

I thought you said SGI doesn't flood?
There's the normal, everyday flooding that nobody thinks about. And then there's flooding like what's happening now.
I never ever said that...it floods very often and sometimes quite deep (a foot deep in the road at end of our driveway last evening..and looks to be headed to same this evening). My point was only that RAIN has no effect whatsoever on island flooding; its all tidal. In other "mainland" parts of the county, rain can and does cause significant flooding.
She failed to understand in an earlier exchange that our island floods only due to tides..not rain. ;-)

Imagine if it was salt and not brackish water.
In way upstate NY vehicles don't last 10 years due to severe chassis rust from salting the roads. They spray the entire underside of the vehicles with an oil based product to help stop rusting.
you went there!

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
WD-40?
Did ya know? They make a sticky lubricant for those submersibles you drive. Maybe if you know someone that works the marine industry, such as boat building, they could steer you to a good product for such land water adventures that occur on your island?
I recommend this stuff that I use in the engine bay of my boat. Sheds water when it gets wet. Great for keeping the under parts of cars and trucks rust free as well. Stays put for a very long time too, even in a watery environment

WD-40 in a garden sprayer is the "prep" used before applying the very expensive Fluid Film.
All that aside; we try very hard to avoid driving in the salt water altogether. SGI can't avoid it...he commutes from off the island.
Is the Air-Boat nearing completion?
