Both chapters 2 and 4 are uploaded. Thanks for letting me know that you'll be busy. These chapters take me a bit longer to record, so I won't be as fast as the last book anyway.

Chapter 2 spot check okay!

Chapter 4 optional notes (very minor)
01:57 “a set of the worst-tempered devils in the country” - hearing worst-templed
18:54 “You have already had 200 pounds on them” I am hearing 2,000 pounds.

Also as a side note for future reference, I sometimes hear some minor rustling noises in the background. Examples at 2:00, 14:30, 14:45, and 15:45. I don’t know if you know what causes this, but maybe something to look out for going forward.

Wow, I can't believe how much background noise was in that file! Thanks for the heads-up. I know now not to switch rooms.
Chapter 4 is reloaded.
Welcome back!

Chapter 6 spot check okay, chapter 7 okay! Breaking horses is not exactly like horse whispering, huh? I see you are bringing out the accent too with the Spanish words. Very nice!

Ha ha ha! It took many tries to get that one word correct. Glad there wasn't a whole conversation in Spanish!

You're really on top of things right now! I need to step it up. :roll:
Maybe you SHOULD try the rattlesnake.

Hey it’s easy to keep up with your reading when I can’t come up with any mistakes to write down. Chapter 12 PL okay, but really, stopping on a cliffhanger? :wink:

No thank you, the most adventurous thing I’ve tried is iguana, and it wasn’t bad but I’m okay with keeping it that way.

I posted chapter 13. Around 29:53, I substituted the word careening for careering, but when I looked it up, careering is the right word! I had no idea it had that definition. It's also a little awkward to read a western accent written by a Brit. I'm pretty sure they didn't use some of the words and phrases he puts into their mouths, and it sure keeps me on my toes, so to speak.

One note for future reference if helpful- around 26:50-27:05 there are some minor background noises.
