    That sounds decent! Yes, believe me I read and read and read. I do have Kindle unlimited. And since you brought it up, audio sounds much more interesting than listening to music. Now I have to think about that! Thanks for all the good information, everyone!

    9.99$ a month and you can pick thousands of songs to add to playlists (including stand up comedy). Then download them to listen offline to avoid data charges on the road.

    It also functions like pandora with a radio feature if you want it and many prefab playlists and user subbed playlists if you need help picking music.

    As long as you are playing music from your downloaded playlists you won't be using your data up. I hook my phone to an Aux cable and play the music. No adds skip as often as I like. Only 9.99 a month.

    I could not drive without my audio books I like to read but don't have time and some narrators are so good that I can listen to books I would otherwise have trouble reading not exaggerating I have over 200 audio books I have gone thru a lot of the American classics and brittish classics and some books I can listen to over and over again I recommend audible.Com I pay 14 a month and get 1 free book with membership most books are from 15 to 50

    They also sporadically offer 3 credits for 30$, cheaper even than paperbacks.

    Steven King
    Brandon Sanderson
    Anthony Ryan
    George RR Martin
    Patrick Rothfus
    Robert Jordan
    Steve Erickson
    Scott Lynch
    Michael J Sullivan

    The fantasy books offer a ton of bang for the buck.

    Catch me at a terminal Dream with some room on a usb3/3.1 hard drive and ill hook you up

    That's awesome, salad. Maybe I should just give you the credentials to an FTP site. That way you could give them when you wanted to, to whoever you wanted to. How can I tell if they're USB 3/3.1? Nevermind. I'll search Google!

    I could really care less but I find it ironic that we can't talk about building power in an engine here but talking about pirating movies is fine

    I just started driving not over the road but I did go out with a few different trainers. One was OTR, had a sleeper truck, and he told me 1 guy that wants to "follow" him would never meet him on time after their 10 hour off. It was because he would stay up watching movies and not sleeping and would over sleep.
    I say use KISS: do books and your sewing to see what time you will have to enjoy other things and when home you can pick up those things.

    BTW we use People Net. I have only been able to log into it once when driving because who I work for has a few other sub co. and to log into their People Net I would have to be pull out of my co. and added to the other. Not easy I am finding out so been running paper logs.
    I am told dispatch will send MSG thru People Net and after reading it you may need to call to get more info.

    I don't have any of those.

    I don't think anyone is talking about pirating anything.

    Oh, no! Not bringing the sewing machine... That's why I was asking about different hobbies. Also, I tend to watch movies piecemeal already. It's movies or tv shows. I haven't watched real television in my own home in 20 years.
