I smoke 3 packs of cigarettes, drink about 12 cans of Rock Star energy drink, eat a bag of 3 pepper Doritos, and munch on Hostess snack cakes in the course of a night. It seems to work for me.

A heart attack in the making. That's one way to thin the herd.
 
I bet she also told you you rode the short bus because there wasn't many kids in the neighborhood.

HAHA! Thats good stuff, I got no more time for these shenanagins, I have to go attack Guardrail on the last thread, that guy has mad nerve! LOL!!!! Me and my awesome looks will bid you goodnight..

BTW, my bus wasn't short, it was an 18 footer!!
 
Just a thought for you nightshifters out here. I know it cost alot of money, but if your looking for something different you could try getting your hf ham radio license and a small rig like a 817 yaesu with the antenna already on it or just mount a 80m hamstick on it and listen and talk to people all the over the world while your riding around. They have alot of useless chatter but at least its entertaining sometimes. Just a idea. They even make little ht handhelds that have 2 meters and 440 and if you broke down, well at least you could call for help too. :Rulz:

I run a dual band Kenwood in my tractor. It's my main radio. I use repeaters and can talk to people all over the place. One night I talked to a guy from Norway from an hour via Echolink (Voip/radio system). Plus the two meter radio tunes in most State Patrol and snow plow frequencies to listen in to.
 
All good stuff here. Most importand get rest! One thing I do is think about some of my sorry kinfolk. I got this ****head brother-in-law who treats my sister like crap. I get mad and fantasize about drawing and quartering him etc.

If non of that works go with the "ramp camp"!!!

Audio books, a "police" scanner, a regular sleep schedule, the list goes on and on. Everyone finds something to help pass the time and keep them awake. I always found that if I broke the trip into smaller segments in my mind it was way easier.

The scanner app is illegal in most states unless you have a license. Even if you not using it. Just being on your phone can get you in trouble. In Indiana it will put you in jail. But the way I look at it they aren't getting my phone without a warrant. And I'll do a complete restore which wipes the phone clean.
