Not much news on the bus-front lately since it isn’t running at the moment. Sen & his dad spent lots of time on the injector pump and then found that the starter needs more work. Now we’re just waiting for paychecks and warm sunny days for working on the bus. A garage would come in pretty handy right now…

We made it to the Okanogan Family Faire, but the bus didn’t. :( It was still a fun trip and I can’t believe we packed all our stuff, Juneau, and a friend in the car on the way there. We had several friends from all over camp with us and I traded and sold lots of massage oil & soap, and a necklace. We even brought home 3 gallons or so of quite clean waste veggie oil from the curly fry booth near our booth! :)

I’ll update when there’s news, Seneca should be working on the bus tomorrow. Until then, we’re still regularly collecting grease and have quite a bit in our barrel. It’s much more difficult to work with now that it’s so cold though. It solidifies in the cubies that we leave it in to settle out the hydrogenated & animal oils, and sometimes we have to bring them inside by the heater (ew!). Once we get the grease in the big storage barrel we can just heat it with our little tank heater which goes inside the barrel, so pumping it into the car tank from there isn’t too difficult.

Well, I better get ready for our Halloween party & finish up some work – ciao for now!
