Bubba and His High Tech Toys
Bubba and Clem are reel interested in this tech diving stuff. Theys done read the books and have taked the classes. They taked classes from the reel high tech pros. What really excites them is getting to fetch along all the reel cool toys on the dives.
Clem has started to see that diving with only one tank and not 63 extra things to carry is really where the fun is at.
Bubba is trying to out do Clem on the toys fer diving. Bubba done gone down to the Home Depot store and got hisself some Plexiglas and glue. Bubba gonna make him a case to hold hissens latest toys. He gonna put all kinda decals on it too.
Bubba done gone down to West Marine and bought him a EPIRB what works at 406 something or another. He ain't never gonna get lost at sea. He done bought him a sat phone too. Him and Clem already have a bunch of the rocket flares in all kinda colors as well as some smoke bombs (they got a deal of some yeller smoke - not noing what yeller smoke be used fer).
Bubba gonna make a case what will hold all of the toys and he gonna fix it where it will strap on his double 120 tanks. He'll show that Clem who is the hightechest red neck in town. He goes over to his friend Johnny Murphy's house cause he got a reel workshop in the basement. Johnny be reel smart and has a job down at the Piggley Wiggley as an Assistant Manager. He got the job cause he is clean cut looking, has all his teeth and count to 10 without using his fingers. Bubba and Clem have noed Johnny fer years. Theys cut the Plexiglas and glue it together for the case.
Bubba gets out all of hissens toys and starts putting them in the case. He puts in the sat phone, the rocket flares, a regular cell phone just as a backup, some Band-Aids, a Swiss army knife, a couple hard biled eggs, some handcuffs, a half eaten sausage biscuit, an apple, smoke bombs, two cans of potted meat, a can of sardines, a sack on M & M's and an RC Coke Coler and of course a church key. Bubba gets out the glue and seals on the top. He be so proud of hisself. He just knows that it is reel waterproof. Johnny axes him how he gonna get the stuff out of the case when he needs it now that he glued on the top? Bubba just stares out the winder feeling like a reel low tech red neck diver right now. He sure hopes Clem don't figger out that the top is on fer the hunt. Least ways no fruit flies will get on that apple.
Johnny's wife, Ruth, comes down to the workshop and stares in amassment at all the junk that Bubba has attached to his BC. She is a diver too and dives with a single tank, a 65, and none of the junk that Bubba has. She has been diving for 20 years and has never needed a smoke bomb or an EPIRB. She does think she needs a cell phone so she can call the Pizza Hut and have a Pizza delivered out to sea. She thinks that diving should be FUN and has been having fun for all those years.
She is kinda making fun of Bubba when she asks him where he is gonna put the Uzi and extraclips? Bubba don't no she be funning him, and is starting to think up a way to carry one of them machine guns strapped betwents his double 120 tanks..
Ruth is worried that her friend Bubba is gonna become one of those high tech divers that writ on the computer all the time and rarely go diving, you no the kind, them fellers and fellerettes what know everything about everything and just got to tell everybody. She don't want that dear sweet man, Bubba, to become another ledgen in his own mind like them computer talking divers and have everybody laughing at him like them theys do them other ledgens.
