Default Affects of Tropical Storm

Had to come home from work last night during what seemed like the worst part of tropical storm debbie. Flooding was really bad here in Jax, FL. I rode through what now seems like tooo deep of a river. Its funny how many lessons we learn the hard way lol. Anywho the bike stalled after I got through the river and I had to push it to the nearest gas station where I proceeded to push start it for 20 minutes because the starting circuit was soaked. But once I rode the next 25 miles home I thought it would be a good idea to check the oil. And heres what I found....

Needless to say I went to walmart last night and got some rotella to change the oil.
