When Not Driving, What Do Y'all Do To Pass The Time?
Topic 32298 | Page 1
I have an iPad and subscribe to Netflix, although find myself viewing YouTube more than Netflix lately.
And I try to keep up with an obscure website called Trucking Truth. Haha.
Reading, reading, and more reading. I used to have a laptop on board so I could play video games too. Never had the time for it though.
I also like to watch YouTube reaction videos. I get a kick out of hearing what younger people feel about the music I grew up with. It also allows me to relive the first time hearing a song through someone else's perspective. Wow! I'm pretty boring actually🤣
Had my smaller laptop with me, usually only pulled it out on 34 resets, not my 10's....Amazon Prime, so watched most those movies, and youtube. And pop in here too sometimes lol And SLEEP ! lol

Read and post on here. Watch scary movies through YouTube TV. Listen to podcasts. Talk to my wife and daughter. Make smoothies.

That's not boring; it's actually quite an admirable trait. I do the same, myself . . . but it's cooler from a guy, haha!

Games I play to unwind on my 10, if I'm not talking on the phone...which isn't very often since I park late at night usually.
I've had to do two 34 hr resets with this company 😝 so I watch YouTube or Pluto movies or listen to music.

How do you get your Xbox to work? Doesn't it require Internet to work correctly? Do you have a TV?
