My DH is a skillful driver - but a very impatient one -

I am one of those that while driving, I think I am doing well if I keep my eyes on the road and check my mirrors often - he is one of those that likes to watch the eagle - that is now behind us - as he is going down the road. Drives me nuttier! Funny how he "never" seems to be able to spot yard/garage sale signs, though.

I knit - just squares in garter stitch - so no thinking involved -
I did a lot of hand-piecing when I rode with DH in the big truck. I prepped all the pieces ahead of time, and then had a "design wall" - a 14 x 14 inch square that i pinned the pieces on to make sure I assembled them correctly.
That block could be assembled in two different ways! Which I realized after comparing some of the blocks.

I don't get carsick - but I do need to stop frequently now - fortunately, DH also has to stop frequently now, too!
