Hobbies on Reserve
I'm just curious what people do to keep from losing their minds on reserve (the commuters). Besides the standard gym, tv, and reading does anybody have anything unique they do when stuck at a remote crash pad/dingy hotel room with no personal vehicle? I've gotta change it up a bit.

Yeah, if you're not getting used much, you need some transportation. Get a beater and then your hobby can be fixing/maintaining the beater...this can be even more challenging/fulfilling with limited tools and no garage (I did a brake job on the street in a snowstorm once).

IF you like to write AND are good at it, I've heard you can research and ghost-write articles. The pay is based on how good your writing skills are. I've never done it, but crew who have done it recommend it as a way to kill time AND earn some spare cash.
