    Camera for when I can.

    Otherwise, I plan downtime for me at home or where I can spent it with relatives.

    Laptop, Xbox (also a DVD player), tv antenna built into truck, Kindle, and my iPhone. If the weather's good and I have some down time, I walk to whatever I can find. Only home 3 days a month, so the road is actually home, make it as much as home as possible!

    I use to build rc cars from the kits. Kills time quite well when I was otr.

    Now I haven't touched them for over a year. I feel bad, maybe I should fix them this week.
