    What do you do in your free time now? I think I saw you said you don't have hobbies, do you really work, sleep, eat, work, sleep etc?

    Most hobbies (not all, of course) can be adapted in some way to the mobile lifestyle.

    When I was otr, I blogged for family and friends, spent some time on Facebook and Instagram, read a little, played some video games, walked for exercise.

    Watch a movie and watch Cheers and Seinfeld. Listen to the NBA playoffs on XM radio. Build a model tank or airplane. Now that the weather is getting nice I will take a walk and get some exercise.

    building a model anything is a great idea..however, leave the windows open, to avoid getting high on the glue fumes!

    Doctor said I needed to Find something to get out of the truck and get some exercise.

    I keep it in my side box.
    It's the only thing that will
    Get me off the internet and
    Out of the truck.

    Couple hours blasting it and I'm
    Covered and in dirt, tired, and ready for a shower and bed.

    I use odorless glue so not a problem. I was thinking about bringing my airbrush and mini compressor but that would be to much. I just build the kits when I'm out and paint them on my days off.

    I like that. Tamiya makes a nice RC kit. Going to check this out on amazon.

    Sleep is like a wonderful time machine. Go to sleep, wake up and your boring day is over
