@matigo My latest purchase has had some 12,000 extra words added since its original publication.
According to my Kindle, I now have 1000 books in my library. There's more than that, several years ago I downloaded the content of another Kindle account before changing my username.
Weird Kindle Paperwhite behaviour. I go thru the process of removing a book downloaded to it, all it offeres is the delete it. From everywhere. Not what I desire. But if I restart the thing, normal service is resumed.

@kdfrawg Time to convert it over to an all-electric drive? Don't need a transmission for that.

Got another batch of rich, meaty soup on the go. I've cooked up some more beef cheeks: one was cut in half to better fit in the crock pot, ergo those parts cooked quicker. I used the same liquid as last time, equal portions of tomato-based pasta sauce and water.
The meat is virtually fat-free so very little fat-skimming will be needed when the stock is chilled.
The meat itself is falling apart when touched (when it's hot) and it seens to toughen up when it cools. That's due to the gelatinous nature of the sinew in the meat. It's gelatinous when heated & chewy when cooled but a quick blast in a microwave soon softens it up. Intense beef flavour throughout the mass of meat and in the stock as well.
Phew. Worked out OK. Client is reconciled with his parents, soon his unit will have enough beds and chairs that he can have access to his kids on the weekends. I had three spare chairs and a camp stretcher I can't use cos it makes my back conditions worse, so this fella was welcome to them. We also supplied an electric heater, microwave oven, queen-size bed and nattress, assorted bedding plus a kitchen table. He works on a small orchard, lives on site in ⅓ of a shed that's been fitted out as a two bedroom living unit.
