Rusty Bus Revival

Snipped through the rusted chassis of an abandoned bus this morning, coaxing a sputter into a low growl. The smell of burnt oil feels like a familiar song, and every screw tightened is a small rebellion against the silence that’s settled over the highway. I kept a battered carburetor in my bag—probably never will need it, but it reminds me that patience keeps machines breathing when you’re the only one willing to care. Nothing about this day was planned; just the way some roads demand they be taken. #mechanicmindset 🚗
