I’ve taken my share of showers in sub-par motels.\u00a0 I’ve taken splash-baths in truck stop sinks.\u00a0 Splash your face, neck, behind the ears and arm pits and let’s keep on keeping on.<\/p>\n
My brothers have always given me crap as I am not opposed to a bath.\u00a0 Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good shower but there are times that a steaming hot bath is hard to beat.\u00a0 You know, the water is sooo hot that it hurts to get in the water.\u00a0 Yet, once submerged, it is hard to not think about “Calgon–take me away!”\u00a0 Although I have never used any Calgon.\u00a0 I do, however, dump some epsom salts into the water.<\/p>\n
When I first enter a hotel room, I check out the crapper and the bathing facilities before I worry about the bed or tv.\u00a0 A wicked awesome tub\/shower can make or break a stay.<\/p>\n
A decade or two ago, some friends and I made our way to Vegas.\u00a0 Mikey Thompson’s wife was in charge of this trip.\u00a0 And she booked the room.\u00a0 OOOOOHHHHH!!\u00a0 It was at the Venetian.\u00a0 The room was awesome BUT the bathroom was off-the-hook.\u00a0 The tub was so deep that I could sit, slightly reclined, completely comfortable yet the water was chin deep.\u00a0 There was a water-proof remote for the tv.\u00a0 I could sit, soak and watch Seinfeld.\u00a0 Who cares about the strip when it’s this good.\u00a0 The soaps and shampoos were good.<\/p>\n
Even farther back, Duke was about 4 or 5.\u00a0 We were on our way to south Louisiana.\u00a0 We stopped at Shreveport for a bit of horse racing.\u00a0 Binion’s had a nice room.\u00a0 Duke took a look at the tub and said, “I need my goggles and swimming trunks.\u00a0 That’s not a tub.\u00a0 That’s a swimming pool.”\u00a0 And swim he did.<\/p>\n
I like a Hampton Inn or a Holiday Inn Select.\u00a0 The tubs and showers are normally very good.\u00a0 Not always but normally good.<\/p>\n
I do not recommend the tubs\/shower in a tub at the Hotel Turkey in Turkey, Tx.\u00a0 They will suffice but not a 5 star event.<\/p>\n
I want to throat punch somebody when I get in one of those hotels that uses the funky water controls.\u00a0 What dang engineer designed pulling down a piece of the water spout in order to get the shower to work?\u00a0 What?!\u00a0 I’ve lost hours of my life trying to figure some of those things out.\u00a0 I also get a bit nervous when I walk into a hotel room and there is an air purifying fan.\u00a0 And if there is a turd hammer next to the toilet.\u00a0 Those two tools combine to tell me that the toilet has backed up, recently, real bad.<\/p>\n
And then there is the motel in Eldorado, TX.\u00a0 I’ve stayed there several times.\u00a0 But a certain trip back in 2006, is the most memorable.\u00a0 I was with Jack Staats.\u00a0 He needed a killer doe kid, so I hooked him up with the sisters.\u00a0 We left work on a Friday evening and headed south.\u00a0 Several hours down the road, the governor realized that he had forgotten his clothes bag which also contained his toiletry kit.\u00a0 No worries, we’ll stop.\u00a0 That didn’t happen.<\/p>\n
We rolled into Eldorado about 2 something AM.\u00a0 The front desk lady just tossed me a key. “End room.\u00a0 \u00a0Come in the morning and settle up.”\u00a0 She then shuffled off to the back.<\/p>\n
I unlocked and opened the door, flipped the light switch and then turned on the wall heater.\u00a0 I walked into the bathroom and pulled the chain above the sink mirror.\u00a0 The 40 watt bulb illuminated all that I needed to see.\u00a0 I yelled out to Staats, “Dude, you’re in luck!\u00a0 \u00a0There is a tooth brush already here.\u00a0 Slightly used.\u00a0 Oh wait, there is a razor as well.”\u00a0 \u00a0Now, mind you, it was an old-school razor blade rusted to the sink.<\/p>\n
I then opened the shower curtain.\u00a0 “Oh snap!\u00a0 You are in luck.\u00a0 There are some underwear hanging from the shower head.\u00a0 Look to be your size.”\u00a0 \u00a0Jack surveyed all of this and decided that he could go without using any of the amenities supplied by the lack of house-keeping in this place.\u00a0 We did come home with a bad-ass doe kid.\u00a0 Grand at Woodward District and reserve grand at OYE.<\/p>\n
Speaking of showers, we recently had a new pump installed in our well.\u00a0 Great pressure!\u00a0 It will knock the buck funk right off of you.\u00a0 Well, not really.\u00a0 \u00a0No shower can have that much power without peeling skin.<\/p>\n
I’ve been doing my homework trying to plan dispersal sales and how to get rid of all of the semen inventory.\u00a0 This is going to take a sale or three, four, more.<\/p>\n
