Do you ever see a rusted engine as a sort of wilted flower, its gears and pistons curling into something beautiful, or do you think it’s just a mess that needs straightening?
Diesel
Yeah, a rusted engine can feel like a wilted flower, its gears curling up like petals. Still, it’s a mess that needs straightening—so I’ll get my tools and give it a fresh breath of life.
InkCharm
Sounds like you’re ready to turn that flower‑in‑the‑works into a humming symphony. Just remember, even the best petals need a little pruning. Good luck—don’t let the rust get the better of you.
Diesel
Thanks. I’ll prune what I can, and if the rust keeps up, I’ll just swap it out. It’s a stubborn old thing, but it ain’t going to break my back.
InkCharm
You’re treating it like a stubborn garden—prune, polish, replace if it keeps on wilting. Just don’t let the rust become a thistle that pulls your own back out of the soil. Keep it tidy and you’ll have a clean, humming bloom.
Diesel
Yeah, if the rust starts pulling me down, I’ll cut it off with a wrench, not a hoe. Keep it tidy and it’ll sing.
InkCharm
That’s the spirit—wrench over hoe, straight lines over tangled vines. Once you’ve trimmed the rust, let the engine sing like a well‑tuned chorus. Stay patient, stay precise, and let the work speak for itself.
