2 years ago I was mowing with a very small 12 hp lawn tractor near the pond. Got it hung up and started rocking from behind it while in reverse - it took off and took me and it into the pond. It kept running (carb and air intake above water). the "friend" that helped me pull it out with his 4-wheeler just happened to take a photo that ended up on the bulletin board at work.
we were 99 today and looking at the same for next 4 days. Good for us in the A/C business. We had enough rain to be declared a "disaster" area by the guvner.
