Grin, when it stops working?

My first one lasted from 1978-2002. We replaced it with one I am still
using then added a second and later a 3rd (each are different sizes for
special uses).

Once I got married (1985) we have pretty much had a crockpot in use at
all times, rotating sizes since 2004 depending on need.

Today oddly you catch me with no crockpot going. Tomorrow though I
start more bone broth in the big one and might start some carrot soup
in the small one.
