Many years ago I traveled for work doing maintenance on machinery for construction and mining equipment. The hours were long and drives were lonely but occasionally I would end up having some fun.
My truck was my home and office most of the time but would sometimes stay in a hotel for a few days if i was going to be onsite working for an extended period. I was at a hotel in west Texas during the summer and since i was waiting on parts that were two days out I decided to return to the hotel early one afternoon. I walked into the air conditioned room and stripped down took a shower and laid on the bed and air dried for a bit before deciding to go to the pool and drink a six pack.
I used my keycard to open the gate to the pool expecting what i found, a couple families with kids running around jumping in the pool and splashing while the moms laid out reading a book. There were also a couple of other people out on the lounge chairs enjoying the sun a few attractive women and a few older women the would have been lookers back in their prime. I made my way to a lounge chair that afforded some shade and sat down and popped the top on a cold one. A couple of the parents looked my way with a look like i cant believe you are drinking but wouldn’t say no to one myself.
