    I've often wondered that. You're wrong about the hours, as has been pointed out but I wonder what all those guys who say you never need a reset do for the other 15.25 hours a day.

    Because some people just like to complain, and most of us do it in one way or another I'm sure

    I'm one of the cocoon people, i park for the night, i go in and use the rest room and I spend the rest of the time in my truck until its time to wake up, brush my teeth and get back on the road. I almost never go and hang out in the lounge. I watch movies and shows on my laptop, talk to friends online, play games, etc... slowly working my way to being home every night. first year, I stayed out all the time, for months, before taking a few days off, now Im almost home every weekend, in a few weeks as long as things work out Ill be home daily. then my off time will be filled with actual socialization with people lol
