well, as often as not, the name is a good clue. i hope that my 34 hour restart is at a casino that has a live poker room. dont do slots...dont do table games (except in iowa where their table game version of texas holdem actually favors the player according to my math). also watch tv, trade forex, and read (as often as not about trading forex).

I'm home nights and off weekends now but when I was on the road I never spent my entire 34 in a truckstop. When near a city I often called a cab and went to the nearest Baseball game, hockey game or such. Went to movies, found parks to walk in, went to Nascar races. 2 years in a row when I was in Miami I parked the truck, rented a car and went up to Ft. Lauderdale and booked a dive trip. Worst came to worst I went for a long walk and looked around.
DocWatson Thanks this. -

What's a 34 hour reset?
Wingnut1 Thanks this. -
Depends on what wagon I am pulling. If we are hauling blades, we go fishing. Ever get paid to go fishing? Whatever town I stop at, I find out whats going on. Been to quite a few concerts.
John Fogerty (the dude is awesome)
Santana
ELO
Little Richard
The Eagles
Blues Traveler
Earth Wind and Fire
Boxing matches
any wrestling matches/toughman contests
road races (sportscar races)
monster trucks
truck and tractor pulls/mud bogs/rock climb (anything 4x4)
Any shows, orchestras...etc.
Sometimes tho, I am just content to check into a hotel, get some adult beverages and order food in and watch Netflix for a couple days without even coming out of the room.

I spend the first 4 hours redoing my previous logs backing them up to make my 34 reset now a 12-15 hour reset. Then Clean the truck and get a good nights sleep.
