I'M LOOKING FOR 'BOX...she said

[WAHOONBOX]

IT HAS BEEN AN ODD BLUEFIN SEASON FOR ME.....BOAT CHANGE ETC ...REGROUPING WITH THE "BITE ME" AND ALL .....I HAVEN'T BOATED A TUNA THIS WINTER BUT SO WHAT....PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT......GETTING THE MACHINE IN ORDER HAS BEEN OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE AND THAT IS GOING WELL!

SO............ HERE I AM MINDING MY OWN BIZWACKS ONCE AGAIN....CHANGING OUT ROD HOLDERS...AND TWEAKING THIS AND TWEAKING THAT........BAMALAMA!!! A DOCKSIDE SHADOW BANGED INTO MY FACE LIKE A SEM-EYE OUT OF CONTROL.

IT WAS JUST A SMIDGEON PAST NOON....... 75 DEGREE SUNSTAR WAS HITTING ME HEAD-ON AS I PEERED UPWARD TO THE GANGWAY DOCKWALK......IT WAS EXTREME LOW TIDE AND THE GANGWAY WAS AT IT FINEST VIEWING ANGLE........IF I WASN'T SWEATING PRIOR DA SHADOW SHOWING UP....I WAS NOW! I WAS SQUINTING SO HARD INTO THE SUN THAT MY EYES WERE THE SIZE OF AN ANAL VENT ON A TWO DAY OLD PORGY

I HAD THE TUNA DOOR WIDE OPENED AND WAS ON MY LAST CRANK DOWN TO TIGHTEN A LOOSE BOLT CAUSING THE DOOR TO SHIMMY......AS THE SHADOW GREW LARGER....I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF TO LOOK UP & PEER OVER THE GUNNEL........ALL I COULD SEE WERE LEGS.....LEGS LEGS AND MORE LEGS.....COPPERTONE HAIN'T GOT SQUAT ON THESE STRUTTERS LET ME TELL YA!!!...THEY WERE WHAT I WOULD CALL "FRENCH LEGS".....YOU KNOW.....THE KIND THAT GO WAY WAY WAY ON UP TO THE HIPS.....WITH THAT TWO INCH GAP AT THE TOP .....OH BOY.........FRENCH LEGS ALRIGHT

AHH SHIT! I JUST DROPPED MY GOSH DANG WRENCH THROUGH THE OPEN TUNA DOOR ..KA-PLOP! PARALYSIS HAD SET IN AND SOME BODY PARTS WERE NOW AT TOTAL NUMBNESS..... A QUICK SOLAR BLAST SNEAKED IN THROUGH THE FRENCH GAP.......SHIT...........THIS AIN'T RIGHT I TELL YA......IT'S DECEMBER 19TH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.....SANTA IS PACKING UP ....IT'S IN THE HIGH 70'S......AND I HAVE THIS WORLD CLASS RAVEN WALKING DOWN THE DOCK IN A PAIR OF HIP HUGGER CUT-OFFS! AND A NO-NOTHING RAGGIDY TEE SHIRT TO TOP IT OFFTHAT WOULD MAKE HORNADAY BULLETS PROUD!!!......

FOR A SECOND THERE I THOUGHT IT MAY BE "SHOEFISHES" BABE! BUT NO....NOOOOOOOOO....IT HAS TO BE RIO.....O YES....RIO DE CAXIA.........YOU AWL REMEMBER RIO DON'T YA?

SHE WAS BAREFOOT TODAY.....I NOTICED A TINY...FULL COLORED WAHOO TATOO'D AND HALF WRAPPED AROUND HER LEFT ANKLE ...

FINALLY .......SHE CLEARED THE SUNBLAST .......I MUSTERED ENOUGH STRENGTH TO STAND UP AND QUICKLY GRABBED MY VISOR..........I LOOKED LIKE I HAD TOOK A BATH IN HELL.....WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME? WHY??!!

PROBLEM WAS...I JUST COULDN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF THE GAP .....AND SHE KNEW THAT.....THEN SHE WAS A MERE 6 FEET FROM MY THE STERN LETTERS WHEN SHE SAID........"I'M LOOKING FOR 'BOX".............OH SHIT..........

RIO?????? NAWWW!!!! CAN'T BEEEE!!! HER HAIR IS WAYYY WAY TOO SHORT.....MAYBE SHE CUT IT?.....HELL NO! NOT MY RIO! SHE WOULDN'T CUT HER LOCKS FOR NUTHIN!

I GAGGED -CHOKED ON MY OWN TONGUE AND TRIED TO SWALLOW....THEN AS I DID MANAGE TO SPEAK..... IT SOUNDED LIKE A WAS GARGLING COTTON BALLS........." I'MMM ....EYEMMA 'BIX....I MEAN I'M 'BOX....." dang it!


"HI....she said ................ I'M GIO. .....RIO'S TWIN SISTER.

I AM SUPPOSED TO MEET HER HERE AND BOOK A CHARTER FOR TOMORROW

MY LEFT KNEE JUST BUCKLED AND HYPER-VENTILATION WAS SETTING IN ....I WOULD HAVE PAID 5K FOR AN BOTTLE OF O2 ....HELL....2K FOR A BROWN LUNCH BAG!!!.....I TRIED TO STEP OVER TO THE FINGER PIER....THEN MY OTHER FOOT GOT TANGLED UP IN THE SHORE POWER CORD AND I DID EVERYTHING BUT RIP THE ENTIRE CONNECTION FROM THE PIT BULKHEAD

AND IF THE DEAL WASN'T CLOSED BY NOW....IT WAS ABOUT TO SLAM SHUT!...

AS I MADE THE JUMP......I MADE A GRACEFUL LANDING ....I WAS AS HAPPY AS A REDNECK IN A DEER STAND ....

HER HAND THEN WENT QUICKLY TO COVER HER MOUTH....HER LIPS WERE SMILING WIDE AND SHE TRIED TO HIDE IT AND KEEP FROM LAUGHING AT ME..........WTF? ....OH NO,....NOT ME LORD....PLEASE NOT ME! WHY WAS I PICKED TO BE DEMONIZED??? WHY ME??? THEN I SEEN IT.....MY ZIPPER WAS DOWN .....AND THEN NOTICED I HAD CHILLI CHEESE FRIES SMEARED ALL DOWN THE FRONT OF MY WHITE THERMZ SHIRT..........

........ SPEECHLESS. YEP....SPEECHLESS SHE WAS.........

I CLIMBED INTO THE HEMI AND WENT TO ACE HARDWARE TO BUY LOU ANOTHER WRENCH....


SOMEDAYS YOU HOOK UP.......AND THEN SOMEDAYS.....WELL.........YOU DROP WRENCHES OVERBOARD

Rio must have been talking to Gio about ya............. or could it be that I know both of them and have told them about you!!!!!!!!!!!!! who knows...........

[Bite Me]

Well, I guess that explains why I couldn't get you on the phone yesterday!

I guess it's not always just about the fishin.

[SeaBiscuit]

One of your best pieces to date Box! I guess we now know that your appreciation for the ladies runs a close second to your ocean devotion.

"MY EYES WERE THE SIZE OF AN ANAL VENT ON A TWO DAY OLD PORGY"
