Know Your Neighbor: Bob E.

Know Your Neighbor: Bob Elliott, originally uploaded by johnniestu.

In this week's issue of KYN, we turn to Robert.

Bob is a former oil field worker and has done about everything else you can think of. He has lived in Wyoming and New Mexico for most of his adult life after graduating from OU with a degree in Chemisty.

Bob likes powerful tools and is really pretty crazy.

Here you can see him elbows deep in the engine compartment of the Stu Family Suburban. Daddy Stu was changing the serpentine belt, preparing the beast for Florida adventures, when Bob caught wind of heavy labor being done and came over to "help" (a.k.a. take over the project).

He really is something. With a raspy voice caused from years of chain smoking, Bob can swear with the best of them.

What you can't see in the picture is that his right arm is all bloody. Only he could get bloody changing a serpentine belt, a part that has no sharp points or edges.

You really should meet this Okie turned tradesman/laborer. Bob is larger than life. He is someone you would want in battle with you.
