Hi List:
About a week ago I wrote the list bemoaning the fact that I had just
got my TR6 out of storage and was about to be inundated up here in
Winnipeg by the Red River Flood. In fact, I think a put a query to
the list about the availability of TR pontoons. Well, besides a
couple of close calls, all of us are still dry. The crest has now
passed and the Red River is about 2 feet below the permanent dike
protecting my area. That's not to say that we didn't have a few
surprises: last night, after about an inch of rain, the storm sewers
in my area backed up and flooded my street to a depth of 2.5 feet
(thank God they carried rain water only and weren't the sanitary
types). This new lake has now been drained but it's still going to be
another 2 weeks before the river drops. I guess the TR will have to
sit in the garage (sewer backup notwithstanding) till then.

I have to say, don't lose hope Johnny, it's easier to think when
you're facing 2.5 feet of water.
