who here has been surfing this week?

I do the same thing!

 

If only someone would invent a little magnetic box where you could hide a second key somewhere underneath

 

Or a fake rock with a hole in the bottom for a key. HA HA

 

True story. I went surfing last week and forgot my board. I already had my wetsuit on, pulled up at the break in a froth, opened the hatchback, and no board. Somehow I managed to remember to bring my towel (which I always forget), but forgot the actual surfbort. Fortunately a short ride back to the beach house, but christ on a cross, what am I to make of this?

 

Drugs are bad, mmmkay

 

I missed this last swell. Truth be told, I haven't surfed in weeks. I've been spending almost all my free time hunting. All I have to show for my efforts is 3 rabbits, two grouse, and I missed a massive buck in archery. He has been the bane of my existence. My white whale. I must put him in my freezer. He's out there in the woods right now, laughing at me. I can here his laughter. It's driving me mad...

 

If you must, midnight with a flashlight and a .22 hollowpoint between the bright dots Hahahah
Mine is an old grey buck, been around for almost 5 yrs now - taunting me from behind trees.
Sometimes he’s only 8 but others I ran out of fingers lol.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, venison stew in January

 

So this is a funny story. Im notorious for locking my keys in the truck or house. I can't tell you how many times iv had to break into my car or house in my teens.

Anyway it's my 20th birthday. I work at a restaurant and my parents are gone for the weekend. The Friday i had to work late so my then GF/now wife stops by to grab my house keys (since my parents weren't home to let her in like usual) so she can start making dinner for when i get home. Get home, eat dinner, whatever. The next night, Saturday, I'm off early and throwing a party. Get off work, bought some alcohol and get home. Standing at the front door i realized i never asked for the house key back and she's a good hour out. So i have no option. I ram the door and break it open. Completly ripping the strike plate from the wall. I call her up...."what are you stupid!? How am i supposed to get in the house with no key?"..... to which she responds "what do you mean? I put it back on your keychain when you forgot to ask for it back". I look down and there's my house key, sitting right there on my key chain. I just broke down the front door while the key was on my person. Told pops straight up, I'm an idiot. I broke the door down because i ws having a party but the key was actually hanging from my belt loop the whole time. He just goes "ahh well we needed a new front door anyway. I guess it's time now".

 

There, I fixed it for you

 

I thought you would be chasing asian sluts....

 

Hahaha nope he was cool about it! The best part? It was one of those doors with the 4 digit code. He made it the last 4 digits of my phone so i would never be locked out again. Which was funny because last year at 28 years old i locked me and wifey out of our old apartment. Stupid drunk. At midnight i come stumbling through his door, one eye closed the other just wandering, slurring every word...."ayyy i member the code! I drink. I dumb. I sleep here"

 

Too many stories of opening doors for asshats who locked themselves out: cars, condos, houses, boats, offices, safes, you name it. 30 yrs worth of stupid human behavior.

Opened the door for Jim Bunning & his wife - - she whispered to me that he was going to beat her up once I left because she had left the keys inside their luxe condo. And, he was furious. And, the POS beat her up.

Opened many lockouts for drunk Congressmen & Senators. Opened a lockout for Cosby when he owned a unit at the Watergate.

Opened lockouts for cops when dead people were inside apartments.

Opened lockouts for ATF & USMarshals during the period of insanity in DC known as ‘City Under Siege.’

Opened a lockout for Bob Packwood & his young blonde bimbo back when he was denying puttting said bimbos on his Senate staff paid for with public tax dollars.

Opened lockouts for Gorgeous women who then requested that I stay the night. I always demurred - - hooked up on another day - - it’s unhealthy to stay the night when a girl has just given her man the heave-go a couple hours ago.

Opened thousands of locked out cars.

Can’t even remember all of it now.

Anyways, for storing your keys whilst surfing I recommend hanging a realtor lockbox on your car door handle. Master makes a good one, holds the chunky remotes, key, uses simple rotary combo. Second pick would be the trailer hitch key holder.

My 2 centavos.

 

Been OH clean & green all week here in Centro. Morning glass for hours. Afternoon onshore flow chops it up a bit but SSW swell direction & 2.5’ @ 14-15 secs is still 100% surfable.

Some afternoon showers. Summer on the way here & the 2/day sessions are so much fun.

 

lol I've been using this exact setup for several years, so much better than setting your keys under a rock or your gas cap.

 

You in Nosara again?

Sorry I missed you in August, I was about an hour or so north of you.

 

Trailer hitch key holder worked for me when I had one. Only problem I had was eventually it wouldn’t open, rust / corrosion.

 

Buy the stainless one cheapo lol
And what In Gods name makes rust down there in Floor EE dah??? You certainly don’t have road salt problems bwahahahahahahah

Me? When I’m not locking them in my nice warm running truck whilst standing in a towel - I do the trusty method of throwing them under crushed beer cans in the back of the truck. Great cammo.

 

It was the good one! Hahaha don’t remember the brand, but it eventually got stuck. I probably could have cleaned it and made it work but I totaled the Tahoe and that was that. I actually don’t remember seeing rust, so maybe it was just corrosion.

 

Just bustin Justin Bahahahahahahaha!!
If it was aluminum or just plain steel, it will always eventually corrode or swell. Moisture in the air, rain will do it to all except really good quality stainless.
Which no one makes anymore unless it’s surgical.
I saw a guy who made a secret spot inside the rail of his roof rack. The end cap popped out and inside there was a pocket big enough for a fob and keys. Pretty inventive.

 

I had a really fun session mid morning as the tide was dropping. The wind was nearly calm and water was glassy and a beautiful turquoise color. The sets were stacking up and coming in fast and powerful in the chest high range, some sets a little bigger. I rode the 6’4” Flashback Fish and caught tons of waves in an hour or so. What a beautiful day to be in the ocean and catch some quality waves!
