Pretending to be a Mechanic
When I went to start my mower for the first time this year, it didn't start. I don't know much, but I could still tell it was a carburetor issue. One time several years ago I had the same problem and had to take the mower in to be fixed. There was a four-week turnaround time, and it wasn't all that cheap. So this time, I figured I might be able to do it myself. Granted, my mechanical skills are similar to my woodworking skills, in that I basically have none. Still, I figure that with a little help from the internet, including some YouTube videos, I should be able to do it on my own. It's not all that complicated, but it takes a little know-how, and while I don't have that know-how, the internet does. So we'll see how it goes.

I've heard it said that intelligence doesn't necessarily mean that you know everything - just that you know how to find the answer or find someone who can solve the problem. Boy, I don't blame you for not wanting to go back to that guy - a month to fix a mower - ridiculous!
