Salvage yard: “A place where old cars and machines are taken apart so that the metal and other parts they contain can be used again.”

– Cambridge English Dictionary

Funny the things you can glean from other people’s stories.

I heard a story the other day about a guy who worked at a salvage yard to pay the bills — but had to take a few days off because his arms got sore.

He realized this little nudge from the Universe may have been a push of sorts to help get him going in a very different direction…the opening of a food truck.

Apparently this guy is an amazing chef and starting a food truck business had been his dream for a long time. There had been many false starts over the years but then things finally started clicking into place.

When I heard some of the culinary details of the scrumptious dishes that would someday be on the menu, I began to pretty pumped myself about this guy’s food truck dream coming to fruition!

But then the writer in me got thinking (like the writer in me ever stops thinking?!):
