What else do you do in Your Shop?

   Scoop is a character in the television series "Bob the Builder".  Scoop is Kieran's boon companion.  Scoop does not sit at the table with us to eat but Scoop is everywhere else, including the bath tub sometimes.

  Needless to say Scoop is beginning to suffer wear and tear on all his major joints.  The first contact point to fail is where the back hoe shovel attaches to the body. It finally worn out on Sunday morning.  Fortunately Kerian and Scoop were at Opa and Oma's house and so Scoop was taken to Opa's workshop for repairs while the little guy went outside to pick raspberries.

  At this point Opa is batting 100%.  A little bit of drilling and a small bolt and a wee washer and nut and Scoop is a good as new.  So far....I have been able to fix everything that the little fellow needs repaired, I hope I can be up the streak.

   As much as it pains me to say so, Scoop and his friends being made from plastic rather than wood makes them much lighter and water resistant.
