     Every few seasons or so,despite her past insistences that his foolish "car" be banished from their lives,Bob`s wife Angeline discovers that Bob has again hidden the Whirly Car in one of his numerous outbuildings.

     THIS after going thru the charade of enlisting all his beer-swilling, ne`re-do-well buddies to aide him in another now-you-see-it.....now we run it off down the road until Angeline goes into town,and BINGO!!.....it`s back again

      On this fine day,bear will act as lookout while Cap`n Timmy, who lacks even the most rudimentary sense of depth perception, comes as close as he can to steadying the car as it`s fixed in place on the old flatbed

    Pitcrew Pete brings little to the table and offers no discernible function....but arrives so snazzily garbed,and WITH his own personal forklift,that no one has the heart to say anything.Pete amuses himself by periodically poking forks at Timmy while hollering random loading dock directional commands.

    Seemingly unfazed by any part of this ill-conceived circus,Bob simply abides 🤨

              thank you Geoff.....your thoughtful comments are much appreciated 🙂 

...........what you call a "cargo bay",I refer to as a headache rack (with small bits containers and chain/binder/hangers/organizers).........as fate would have it,the bear played a pivotal role in it`s addition to the flatbed.......he came over in 2017 with Klaus,a Russian handler, for a circus project that never jelled....Klaus had been a bottler back home....he resumed his trade on my construction backlot but concentrated too much on EMPTYING the bottles.....he had to be let go

If thats his work standard, I'd keep him on. Maybe ply him with a bit more to have a go at another one!

If it had just been him,I might`a swept it under the rug.....as word spread of free-range alcohol on set,some of my "good' people began to stray from the mission
