Everybody knows that you have to cut a few inches off of the trunk of a Christmas tree before plunging it in water (add teaspoon of sugar) in order to keep it fresh.
Here is the proper way to cut off those few inches of trunk.
- Open the garage door and back out the car.
- Pull the generator out of the garage and make sure it is level.
- Check the generator oil.
- Find the gasoline and put some in the generator tank.
- Start the generator and let it warm up.
- While the generator warms up, find the electric chainsaw.
- Find the electric chainsaw extension cord.
- Plug in the chainsaw using the extension cord.
- Measure the trunk.
- Cut it off.
- Unplug the chainsaw and the extension cord.
- Shut down the generator.
- Let the generator cool down.
- While the generator cools down, put away the chainsaw.
- After the generator cools off, put it back in the garage.
- Put the car back in the garage and close the door.
