    That's cream of the crop there.
    That's my hobby.
    That one runs on regular gasoline.

    I got a few of them. I always carry one with me. Never know when your gonna have to kill some time.

    I would recommend getting a electric one. It's just easier to change batteries and keep going.

    I run out west a lot. So I take the
    Big 1/5 scale gasers with me.
    To say there awesome is a understatement.
    They ain't cheap either.

    All that open space out there
    Is heaven to me. IMG_0111.JPG IMG_0117.JPG IMG_0118.JPG IMG_0119.JPG IMG_0312.JPG IMG_0315.JPG IMG_0320.JPG

    Get a tablet from your cell phone provider (they're free at AT & T) and pay a few extra bucks a month for a data plan on it. Then hook into the broadband wifi at most truck stops and live stream movies. Honestly I can kill hours looking at random crap on Youtube and Live Leak. I hear somewhere that porn can be entertaining too. ;)

    Start a Blog, Vlog, or a YouTube channel.
    All of the new drivers are doing it and making millions.

    Exercise and health are excellent hobbies for drivers. Get a ton out of the time you put into kettlebells. Especially since we sit so much. Kettlebells get power from the hips. Addresses most important for us.
    Writing is a good hobby. You’d be surprised at how good; Telling your story can be.
     
    BillStep and ChancesRGood Thank this.

    Buy some tools, there is always something to fix on the truck.

    Get an ipad and a portable keyboard like irig keys, I'm somewhat addicted to garage band right now, you can lose yourself for hours with that app.

    Pick up an instrument. Always wanted to learn guitar? Do it. I play piano on the road.
