Now, many moons ago, their was a Crabblypatty who had two crunching machines happily Boincing away each and every day.
He loved his little farm but foolishly he wanted to go on holiday for a couple of weeks. He had three pretty dutiful adult sons to tend his farm so he left it in their care without reservations.

While Crabbypatty was away both his crunching machine died a sad death. He wasn't a happy bunny and he couldn't understand what had gone so horribly wrong with both at the same time.

Upon his return he could smell that horrible burnt smell from both crunchers so he opened the case and had a look inside. He was amazed to see both CPU fans were completely clogged with straw.

To the back of his home less than 40 yards away lay four fields belonging to a food farmer.It seemed that said farmer had been harvesting his corn and barley on a lovely warm day and dutiful children had decided to open all the windows in the house, due to the heat, and the wind that day had blown the dust indoors.

It's those little things that always catch you out.

Only one this year but can you guess what is in that field, the nearest to our home? Wink

ROFLMAO I wish I had thought of that at the time.Smile

TBH they have always tended the machine when needed and are very understanding, just their hearts might be in the right place but their minds are certainly elsewhere.
