    Hello, I'm a reporter looking to talk to truckers who have interesting hobbies out on the road - anyone sew, skydive, write poetry, etc? I'd love to hear from you

    Whining about the current administration is Washington seems to be prevalent. No matter who is in.

    I use my dads boat whenever I am home as he lives on the water. In addition, I visit with my grandparents and aunts in uncles. Also I attend conferences for Autism Spectrum Disorders. One hubby I enjoy is visiting orlando international airport. I have a few contacts who let me see a/c getting serviced for a major carrier.

    Here is the website for the boat my dad owns. Scroll down to the fourth pic on the right; 14 Sport. While it shows no engine, we do have a 50HP Mercury Fourstroke and she will go 45-50mph depending on load. Once I acquire her I am going to sell the Mercury and replace it with a 50 Evinrude E-Tec as it is lighter. We replaced the transom (the part where the motor sits on) two times.

    I have a couple of hobbies. I had my hair mannequin in my truck and I would practice braiding and doing hair on it. I also would make blaknkets to give to other drivers.
