All-purpose mechanic / mess-creator

I came upon this man's shop while strolling around the old part of town.

At left is a carton of the eponymous Drina cigarettes, the local brand, which I find to be an odd name because it refers to the Drina River that divides Bosnia and Serbia -- not to mention the fact that the Srebrenica massacres were carried out by Mladic's Drina Corps. Not that it really matters -- I'm sure a Bosnian would smoke a pack of cigarettes even if they were labelled "Mass Murder." Come to think of it, that would probably be an appropriate name for a tobacco company.

By the way, a pack of Drina cigarettes costs 1.70 kM, or around $1 US.
