Truck Bed Mats – The Savior, When You Are In Distress

A few weeks ago my wife and I decided to go on vacation to Colorado. We both wanted only to relax because the last few months at work were pretty hard. So we just took our clothes with us, although we have a very great selection of good skis at home and we are usually looking forward to use them. But this time we just wanted to spend the days in bed or explore the well known restaurants in Colorado.

We pulled out at five in the morning to get a good apartment in one of the Hiltons, which hopefully was not booked. We have never booked any rooms for vacation because our experience taught us that doing this is more spontaneous. And in many cases you get even better room prices after negotiating with the hotelier. Another advantage of those spontaneous vacations, where you have neither booked a room nor a real destination, is the fact that you can change the place and move instantly after your arrival. No hassle, no problems, just the chance to select your vacation place easily and without any stress.

But the reason why I want to tell you this story is not the great selections of possible destinations. It was the drive to Colorado itself, where I made a mistake I will hopefully never make again…

After three hours in our truck we wanted to have a little break in one of the good, but very expensive, restaurants on the highway. We ended up having lunch in a place called “Danni’s Lunch Celebration”, but the 23 year old waitress was the best part of this meal experience. So we hurried up to continue our drive so we could make it there in less than seven hours. But this plan failed instantly when we arrived at the truck. I suddenly recognized that my keys were locked inside. Since a few weeks ago, I had the habit of locking the doors manually without the key and it was just a question of time when I would forget the key in the truck. “But why did it have to happen here in the middle of the highway?” I asked my lovely wife who was at this moment not that lovely anymore. Besides this disaster, it started raining a few seconds later so we needed shelter to avoid getting wet. Of course we went back to the restaurant instantly but the owner of it had a habit that is weirder than mine. He decides spontaneously when he wants to open or close his restaurant. And unfortunately his free will makes him close the place after we left the first time.

So we had to find another way to protect ourselves from the rain but we didn’t have any options. So I had to be creative. And without showing off, I was. I went to my truck, took out my truck bed mat and used it as a kind of umbrella. And seriously it worked perfectly. After ten minutes with this romantic atmosphere and the smell of rubber in the air, my lovely wife recognized that she had a second key for the truck in her purse. I really love this woman but at this moment I really wanted to call her names that children should not hear. However, we continued our way to Colorado and had a great vacation afterwards. But I learned my lesson due to this experience: In bad and unknown situations you cannot count on your wife, you can not count on your pet; you just can trust your truck bed mat.
