The Manliest Among Men

 When Christmas decoration day came around and I pulled out the tape measure, the one tool I planned on using for the set-up, Klivie Johnson got all holiday giddy.  He disappeared into his room, came back a tool-wielding terminator and told me, "leave it to me mom, I'm one of those guys who doos everything."

 Klive possesses an insatiable need to be a handyman.  He lives for broken pipes, stripped out screws, and newly-delivered, non-assembled furniture.

 He's always prepared for running heavy machinery in a hard hat and he wears work goggles throughout the day, just in case OSHA shows up for an inspection.

 He keeps a sharp eye out for every digger, dumper or dozer in town . . .

 
 . . . and an up-close encounter with a big rig is his crack.
 
 I'm pretty sure he dreams in black and yellow.

Never stop believing my little manly man.  One day you will "doos" it all!
