I'll never get used to seeing this and actually putting it in buses. I swear it sounds like something you'd make up to screw with somebody, like "blinker fluid".

A label on a plastic container that says "Diesel Exhaust Fluid".

I've had my for a year or two now and I've had to replace the band, but the watch itself had been beyond durable, especially considering the price. I work as a through the day and I've beat the hell out of this thing and it just keeps on working. My died after just a week or two, but I have zero complaints about this particular product from .

A Pinetime smart watch. I'm tilting it into the sunlight to highlight scratches all over the screen. It has a red band that is currently smeared with a combination of grease, brake dust and antiseize Liberian.

Woohoo time for a brake job! The funny thing about working on school buses is that everything is way bigger and heavier than when working on your car, but actually doing the job is much easier because you've usually got way more room to work.

The rear wheel of a school bus. On the ground beside it is a new brake drum, a blue box with new brake shoes in it and various tools required for the job.The rear wheel well of a school bus. Both wheels, the drum and brake shoes have all been removed, exposing the hub assembly. A small plastic school chair is sitting on the floor in front of it.

Changing transmission fluid and filter this morning, but our district garage isn't big enough for a full size bus to pull all the way into, so it's nice and brisk even with the gas heat running.

I'm laying on a creeper under a bus. A drain pan is in front of me with a stream of transmission fluid running into it.A large school bus is parked inside a garage with about a third of it sticking out the door.
