If you're driving a Tesla, and it's stolen, is it now an Edison?
@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.
This could get interesting. Delivering furniture for a charity, at the given address we find the client's parents who haven't seen him for three years. He's separated from his wife because of shouting/temper issues.
Could get awkward.
@kdfrawg Try covering the crusty zone in salt then letting that soak in water for about a week.

@kdfrawg Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Lunch at the Men's Shed every 3rd Wednesday is a BBQ. That's today! I've mixed up something special, into 100 grams of coarse lamb mince I added four different herb/spice/glaze mixes obtained by my brother when he worked in a factory that's been making such stuff for over 100 years. I used Greek Yros mix; lamb & herb mix; tomato, onion & pretend bacon sprinkle then bound it all together with dried potato flakes. Next I formed it into two balls, covered them in a lamb & mint glaze powder & flattened them into two burgers. I expect the result will be rather tasty.
