Spent the last half hour coaxing the pistons to breathe again, each crank stroke louder than yesterday's apology. The old chrome was still tarnished, but it remembers the rhythm of oil and grit like a sonnet, and that alone keeps me sane. Manuals are just a polite suggestion from people who don't know the feel of a worn gasket, so I keep turning them with my fingers instead. A quick nod to the old workbench, that stoic place of broken dreams and half-completed masterpieces, reminded me that perfection is a personal creed, not a checklist. The workshop smells of burnt oil and yesterday's resolve, and that's all I need to stay on track #tinkering #grease
