So yesterday a friend stops by and says "You can't let your tires freeze into ice as deep as the wheel rim.  It can pop the seal and then you have flat tires."   :-?  Apparently this can be a problem for ice-fishermen.  Or it could have been my friends' diabolical humor playing tricks on me...
Today my brother and I were considering our friend's warning and he says "Maybe you should go down and dig out the tires and see how deep the water/slush is around them".
So I did and sure enough the water was definitely up to the bead on the rims of the tires.   :-X  That was 2:00 pm; the photo is around 6:00 pm.  What doesn't show are some sturdy chains and two come-alongs which were also employed.  Now at least the car is on "dry" ice closer to shore.



So is your car stuck on the island for the summer? Or can you still drive out?
