Snowblower Tech Support

Posted by Mark | Filed under Elsewhere, Humor

You might be sur­prised at what you can fig­ure out about your snow­blower if you try. My level of mechan­i­cal exper­tise is a mod­er­ately com­plex Lego set, and yet I was able to diag­nose & fix a prob­lem with our snow blower ear­lier this winter.

The trick is to ignore the fact that you don’t know diddly-squat about what you’re doing and apply stan­dard com­puter trou­bleshoot­ing tech­niques…
1. Smack the device. Smack it HARD.
2. When Step 1 fails, swear loudly while pre­tend­ing you’ve muted your phone.
3. Apol­o­gize for swear­ing.
4. Sac­ri­fice a goat (or a chicken, but a goat is pre­ferred).
5. If the sac­ri­fice does not appease the angry snow­blower gods, then try the other stan­dard com­puter trou­bleshoot­ing tech­nique. Send it up to level2 sup­port. :p
