My husband frequently joins me on the road, now. After the first couple of months, however, I can tell he's getting bored.
Do any of your husbands ride along? If so, what (other than napping) activities do they keep themselves busy with??? :shock:
He's even begun to read to me!! (I happen to actually LOVE that part, though)
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated---I don't want to lose my roadie!!

sorry can't help you with this one .... maybe needle point :lol: ............get him a camera and let him take pictures ... this is something the two of you will set back in years to come and 'remember when' .. :wink:

My parents would always sit and watch people go by, and find faults in them.
Kept them from arguing with each other, they were entertained,
and it probably made themselves feel better about each other. :lol:

Get him a set of bongo's. That always puts a smile on someones face. 8)

Later a Ukulele.

Here are a few suggestions:

1] Computer Games played on something that looks like a calculator.

2] Crossword Puzzles.

3] Trivial Pursuit.

4] Reading about places you would both like to visit. Either in the
states or outside if you are so inclined.

5] List of things that need to be done at home when you return and how
to set about accomplishing those tasks quickly upon your return.

6] Increasing your vocabularies by obtaining books that give meanings
to words such as a Thesaurus.

7] Listening to books on tape.

8] Playing on the internet.

9] Looking up people you've lost contact with via the internet.

10] Guess too many of these are centered around the computer-hope you
have a laptop on the truck. Otherwise, some of these suggestions
won't work!!! 8) :roll:

Sizzle...from a male point of view... :shock:

I see the poor guy jumping out of the Truck while it is still moving. :?

[Sizzle]

Perhaps Roadhog those were just "too female" suggestions. They sounded good to me. Oh well, I entertain myself and that's enough for me. Can't imagine entertaining someone else on the truck.

Well.... on second thought I could but. I'll leave it at that. UM!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

How about a CDL and let him drive occassionally.

[Trukrswyfe]

A PSP is pretty cool and has many features, headset cuts down on the noise and interference and can play online with friends.

Digital camera for pics or video take cool shots of things.

If he likes to read to you Anything by Francine Rivers is great I would recommend Redeming Love and then you may need to log sleeper berth time :wink:

ask him to tell you everything you do wrong, that will keep him busy for hours on end

just give him a list of the things that need done around the house and inform him that there will be no consumption of alcoholic beverages at said premises.

That will keep him happily in the truck.
