It's a Team's Life

Polishing Bob

Very few weekends go by that Bob does not polish on our truck.   If we are pre assigned on a load for Monday and the weather is not to hot he gets pretty carried away.   He has a rolly chair he uses to polish the wheels and to letter the tires.   That rolly chair has provided me with a few chuckles as it throws him to ground every so often.   Bob gets to concentrating on his project and forgets that is his little rolly chair has a mind of its own.   He will scoot to reach another area and the chair will come to an abrupt stop and throw him to the ground.   I have been witness to this a few times and he scowls at me when he hears me laughing as he always looks around to see if anyone saw him hit the ground. 

He has all kinds of little gadgets and tools to make his job easier and he often gets quite an array of stuff scattered out around where he is working.   He also often acquires a crowd of spectators often offering advice, asking questions, or just wanting to talk.   Depending on how long his visitors stay to how far he gets on the truck in a given day.   Bob gets a look of pride on his face when someone tells him wow that is a nice looking new truck.   Then Bob gets to tell them that our truck is a 2005 model and has over 750,000 miles on it.
