I can’t go on yet. Been to a meeting in a suburb an hour from home. My back and strained/injured groin just aren’t coping with the drivers’ seat in my mother’s car. I’m 10 minutes from home and in agony.
@kdfrawg With the previous car I often encountered a shuddering clutch. This was dud to a slightly warped flywheel, not worth fixing until time to replace the clutch itself. This is cos you have to dismantle ½ the engine to get at it. I could usually get around the shudder by having another go at the clutch, it would bite on an unwarped section.

Yesterday I tried to load a 3.02 GB macOS Combo updater onto my SanDisk iXpand USB flash drive only to be told it was to big for the drive’s format. It’s a multi-system thing & has to be FAT32 to work properly. So I used another Mac-formatted drive.
I'm on an author's email/newsletter list. He's just made two short stories available to list members who can sign in & download them.
For the Kindle Paperwhite, he supplied a bookhip.com link which you enter in the device's "experimental browser." Then tap once on the image on screen to initiate the download.
@indigo It's not sinking in. On the 3rd Wed of each month, the Men's Shed group has a BBQ lunch: sausages, egg, bacon & hash browns get cooked up. I can't handle sausages, have to slum it with 30-day aged scotch fillet steak.
There's always some sausages left over. Invariably one older fellow takes 6 or so home for his dog.
This is despite the fact that when a dog eats a sausage it's the equivalent of 3.5 hamburgers (with buns) consumed by a human.

@kdfrawg No change. The same level of insurance for the newer vehicle was actually some $50 cheaper than for the old one, despite the disparity in insured value. The newer car has over twice the insured value of the dead one. I opted to pay for unlimited hire car use in the event of a claim. I'm lucky I have my mother's car to use this time around: she's too infirm to drive now.
