This blog began in 2004 as we set out to travel in our veggie oil powered school bus. The inside is completely set up as an RV and we run almost entirely on waste veggie oil that we gather and filter for free. The posts in 2004 were made during our trip although at the time we had limited internet access. I hope you enjoy!

From the Hayfield
| Hello everyone!!! I feel so far away out here without cell phone service! We are in Wisdom trying to get the hay put up. It has been wet though so it is not going as fast as everyone would like. The days do get long though so it is nice to have some half days even if it does slow us down. Chris is running the hoist that takes the hay up the beaverslide, I am on a wheelrake, and Ema is on a 4-wheeler. We spend a lot of time being very dirty! Greasy, I mean, and other generally grimy things. One of the 3 restaurants in town is saving all their grease to pick up on our way out. On the way here we developed a small pin size hole in the heater hoses that goes to the heater core in one of the filtering barrels that is kept in the "garage" or "filtration station" portion of our bus. Therefore it began leaking water into the barrel. We added more water before we realized what was going on. This forced the grease, because the barrel was full, to spill out onto the floor. The mess didn't get to big before we caught it but that is just one more reason to NEVER USE OLD HEATER HOSES! I miss everyone! And I can't wait till we have cell phone service again! ---tiff |
