Most of the time when I travel I am alone. There is a chain lock or some sort of bar lock, a dead bolt and then the regular door lock. I really never feel unsafe, at least not in my room.

I'm a self proclaimed bad ass. When staying in a hotel, my car is parked where I can see it, but never right near my room. If anyone is in the parking lot or on balconies, I wait until they go inside before I exit my vehicle. I regularly check my vehicle from the window when I make it inside, sometimes watching for up to an hour depending on the neighborhood. The place I mentioned in Memphis had a gated lot that you had to use the call box, and give the front desk your name, room number, and phone number before they would let you in. I liked that.

I check the window any time the thought crosses my mind. I check the door and window any time I hear voices in the hall or outside, respectively. I use every lock on the door, plus a chair if one's available. I make sure the curtains are overlapped well. My gun is never more than arm's reach, even if I'm taking a dump.

I've lived in hotels while pipelining. Some in really bad neighborhoods. I learned to take paranoia seriously.

Also at the place I stayed in in Memphis, it had a switch that would kill the power to the electronic card key reader.

I've never heard of that. I like that idea.

Later when I lived at the coast I was right rough on boats , jumping 6-8ft waves at nearly wide open throttle on a center console with only a leaning post , Jumping in and out of boats with no ladders and all the other crap I did aged me real fast . My back has 2 bad disc and the others are ate up with scaring , arthritis in my facet joints and my left hip is due for a replacement and all at 30yrs of age .
If I make to 45-50 I will be amazed , figure either cancer or getting killed in some accident .
I am worried , if I am this used up NOW , whats the future gone be like ? I just stopped all of my pain management to see if I can work through it all with out some pill pushing doc .

I admire you for taking responsibility for your own actions, many wouldn't. However how many are going to be devastated and miss you if you don't make it. I'll be blunt. How many will say "He didn't think about us when he was having fun".

It was way cool. I was impressed. My sister and I tested it to make sure it worked as advertised.

Hey trip, I'm heading to Memphis next weekend, what's the name of this place. PM me if you want. In Memphis you can never need too careful.

And later some phone calls from their police dpt and our local PD . It was bad , how we made the 5 hr trip home beats me , i know I woke up and someones front yard with the truck still running , hell I thought it was a path and cornfield . We were never the same after that trip . To make it all worse , it was one of those free timeshare sales pitch things .
We could make a movie out of that weekend and make millions , the hotel room in the hangover 1 was nothing .

Back in my younger meaner days we would leave the hotel with a toilet full and turn the heat on wide open .

We honeymooned in Vegas at the MGM Towers and I got a suite with a balcony so I could smoke and do other manly things . VERY VERY NICE room but we had to walk a mile to hit the casino . When your near the top floor and you have a glass railing balcony , make sure no one is below you when you pee off of it .
Yes I sprayed some folks
Me and Hotels , Rented Golfcarts and rental cars are a bad combo , rental cars in vegas ? Oh its over with but thats why I purchase top shelf insurance when i rent them . Guy said '' with this one , you can drop it off or just tell us where it is and its covered '' I cant explain what shape that suzuki grand ventara was in when we dumped it shortly after finding that dead body in the desert. Hey , it still had one tire holding air .
Wrote on the back glass '' how we do it in NC '' rolmao

For someone who cries long and loud and outraged when someone steals from you or ruins your things, you sure have a passion for hurting other people and ruining their things. You seem to take great pleasure and pride in the destruction and mean acts you've done along the way. I don't understand your double standard.

One time you spouted how angry you were that someone was breaking into your shop and stealing things and how much you hated thieves but then a couple posts later you took great pride in bragging about how your wife steals dog food from WalMart by not scanning it when she does the self check out. I don't understand your double standard.

How angry would you be if someone pissed on you from a balcony. You'd be ready to fistfight over that, I'm sure. Yet you find great humour in doing it to others. I don't understand your double standard.

It's people like you who ruin things for us law abiding, respectful people.

You could have avoided all that. I think you have a friend that lives real close to Memphis tha would have set you up with the best he and his wife could muster.
