Don't try this at home , unless you can
My yard has been flooded for the last month , and last nights storm added 3.5 inches to the 25 acre pond covering my road. So when life gives you water in your yard , you of course HAVE TO launch your 20ft Tracker Targa and go for a rip !

You should have seen the tears last night. Pump was just starting to gain , now we are 1.5 inches higher than our highest point in spring. At least the house is high and dry.

Thats awesome! I've always wanted to take the boat out where its flooded in the spring, by the highway just to see what kind of reactions I get. Hell even toss a line in the water just to mess with people.

A few people stopped at the end of the driveway to watch. Didn't put fish in this year because there is TOO MUCH water ! Lots of birds and muskrats , but now the water is over the kids rubbers so we need to quad them out to the bus. Need a really big hole dug but its too wet.

Neighbors basement flooded and they won't cover it because water levels in the field are too high. Calling it sepage not a backup. No coverage. He's renting a trackhoe and is gonna start digging holes all over. Hope some benefit me ! He has the nw 10 acres ajoining my 70.
