Today's Webtip: Percussive Maintenance
Have you ever found yourself struggling with a malfucntioning machine? Something that just wouldn't behave? Something that you knew just needed a good smack?
My first car used to be like that. It was an ugly american behemoth. A '77 Chevy Impala that looked and drove like a granny machine. The only thing that made driving it any fun was the ginormous stock engine and the crappy cassette deck. The engine usually worked. The cassette deck didn't.
Trying to troubleshoot a mid seventies sound sytem while cruising at highway speeds was something even my teenage self wasn't recless enough to try. So I usually just gave it a swift kick with a steel toed boot.
Something I learned from a childhood steeped in the pop culture swamp of seventies sit-coms.
It usually worked.
Just like in the movies...
