    I take 60 hour resets every weekend at home. Never reset on the road and never will.

    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.

    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.
    weekend drag races
     
    DocWatson and cheflee Thank this.

    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.
