Bob the Builder (aka Bubba) was over at Baba’s house this evening.

Bubba discovered we’d moved some interesting furniture into the house, specifically a rack from IKEA that is in pieces.

Bubba took one look at the state of disrepair of the rack and announced he needed his tools. He has tools here, of course.

“I want you to make certain you get an accurate record of this, Baba. See that screw there? It is loose.”

“You have to keep your eyes on the target and your fingers clear of the area.”

“The narrow end is handy for nailing down those loose screws. Make sure you are taking notes, Baba.”

“A level will work if you don’t have a hammer handy. See how I am hitting the screw on the head?”

Note the level of concentration by how he bites his tongue. This is serious work.

“Now, take notes, Baba. This is how you tighten a pesky loose screw with a monkey wrench.”

What serious work this is!

“The finishing touch is important. Here I am applying a little black bolt that came with my tool box. You press it against the offending screw for a moment. Are you taking notes?”

“You’re not laughing at me, right? Because this is real Man’s Work, Baba. Important stuff, fixing things.”
