1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I have a friend here who said he wanted to try that,.....the secret he said, is to stand on the brakes so you make the wheels skid and not spin .....if they spin, they will pull water around the surface of the tire and then dig in..........not a good outcome after that !
