How to Feel Smart and Get Free Tomatoes

Step 1: agree to "come take a look" at the new router with which your next-door-neighbor/landlord is having a problem getting himself and the old lady renting a room from him connected to the internet (even though you don't really know that much about PCs)

Step 2: spend approximately 30 seconds studying the mess before suggesting that they unplug both the router and the modem then plug them back in.

Step 3: Look like a fucking genius when the computers *magically* work immediately after the reset

Bonus geniousity: Within 5 seconds to help the old lady find her contacts on the updated Yahoo Mail

Step 4: Take home about 3 pounds of vine-ripened tomatoes from the insane bounty of the old lady's garden
