    I usually don't get out and do as much as I used to, but I went to see Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) The Wall in Washington DC last month. That was quite an experience. Parked the truck in Richmond and rode up from there.

    I have made friends around the country from online and have met a few of them, so when I am out somewhere and in the area, I try to make an effort to have lunch or dinner or whatever.

    I have met friends from TN, CA, AZ, SC, OK and MN and have met them all at least once. The one in TN is probably my best friend right now and I have met up with him a few times.

    It's incredible how the internet has changed our lives, along with the phenomenon of making friends online, and along with becoming a truck driver, has given me the opportunity to meet this friends in real life.

    And no, I have not had a bad experience meeting someone from online, but I consider myself to be a good judge of character and know what I want in a friend, and make decisions whether to meet someone or not.

    What he said X's 1,000,000,000 !!! I haul down to the border often, Brownsville, Zapata & Laredo just to name a few. I have run into a few guy's in the past at the truck stop wanting to go party for the night in Mexico, DO NOT do this. It's not like it used to be, you can't just cross over for cheap food (really good food) & booze, it's too dangerous these days.

    I've spent a few days at the beach when picking up produce. Usually take a cab if it's not within walking distance. Most the coolers are usually honest with you about whether you're going to be there until they close or not so it's easy to know if you have the time. Plus, four pickups up and down CA on a Saturday pretty much guarantees you'll be sitting all day Sunday at the last pickup that isn't open on Sundays.

    My family and quite a few friends live in Indiana so I'll sneak in a reset there sometimes if it works out.

    We and a few other driver's have fun in the parking lot, or just joking on the CB. Most fun I ever had was watching a lot lizard get the #### scared out of her by a pete 8'' straight piped revving to 25 on its RPMs. Oh, I laughed so hard I couldn't BREATHE.
    We have many ways to have fun on the road, shoot, got an xbox in my bunk! Just bungee some pillows to it and make sure it can't hit the floor! One guy had a Wii, we were in his huge sleeper for 3 hours playing some Mario. Quite amusing considering I can't use a Wii remote.
    So, jut get a gaming system or something. We all entertain ourselves if different ways.
