A Visit to Chris and Amy's
Chris and Amy are always busy doing something at their house. They've done an amazing job fixing it up. They're both quite talented.A recent visit on a Sunday afternoon found Chris and his buddy Answorth removing tree stumps. The refuse was fed into a large chipping machine.
In the 2nd photo you'll notice a large stump has become jammed in the feeder mechanism. The machine complained mightily, belching black smoke in protest. The jamming may have been due to the feeders exceeding the recommended stump diameter. Be that that as it may, our two heros were not to be thwarted. Photo #1 shows Chris attempting to push the stump forward with his foot. Remember the scene in the movie Fargo?
Failing in that attempt, Chris enters the shute.
Now it must be said here that Chris is an excellent mechanic and is not one to be foolhardy. As far as I could tell, he took the proper safety precautions.
The last photo is a sticker plastered on the side of the chipper for all to see. The warning is clear.

I am posting a comment to clarify that the calm retelling of the events at Chris and Amys were not reported by his mother. No,I was cringing in the background and finally had to go hide on the front porch. Grown-up men don't listen when their mother says "get your head out of that chipper".
Who, then, gets credit for the original report and for the fine photo journalism?
