Sometimes, bus work takes the whole family!

Miss Doozie has been in the shop at the farm for almost a week... lots of things getting done... but, on Saturday afternoon, we had some very SPECIAL assistance!

Granddad's helper!

Jimmy was putting the duals on, and to put the inner wheel on required one set of lug nuts - the inner and outer lug nuts were mixed in a pile on the floor, but Master Joseph carefully provided just the ones that Granddad needed for the inner dual wheel!

Sometimes it is hard to get a picture that is in focus when a little boy is so active!

Granddad started the impact wrench to tighten the lug nuts. Joseph's eyes immediately went wide and his mouth opened in a big "O" - he ran around the corner of the bus to see what was making that wonderful noise, and then was expressing his awe in this shot!

We had a couple of mats on the floor connected together. I got another one out and he proudly carried it to its mates and was immediately figuring out how they went together...

It only took a couple of minutes for him to get it figured out!

Granddad started making that WONDERFUL noise again!

Then he had to try on Granddad's ear protectors.

Chipmunk cheeks with the ear protectors. He has his own set of ear protectors (but they were at his house), so he obediently put his little fingers in his ears when he was closely watching the process.

It took all three generations to torque the lug nuts...

"I'm pulling down hard, Granddad!"

This is so precious to see the three generations working together - with young Joseph being encouraged to help out where he can!

Then he came inside Miss Doozie. Tabitha unwisely took off for the kitty privy... I guess the positive was that she was out of his reach, but her dash brought her to Joseph's attention, and he was searching her out with the flashlight that Dwayne provided him!

Preparing to drive Miss Doozie! (Using the flash light as an alternative to headlights, I think!)

All three generations checking out underneath the bus (carefully supported on heavy duty jack stands).

Joseph LOVES all things in the shop. I'm sure his mom was not pleased with how dirty her son had gotten, but... I think she is probably resigned to it!
