Back from the Veggie Trip

It's been an eventful weekend. The starter on the VeggieGen was rebuilt and reinstalled. We have power again. We did a 10 hour, 400 mile trip to pick up 1000 gallons of rough filtered Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO), which gives us about a 3 month supply of fuel for the VeggieGen. I Duct-Taped the mirror back together on the car so it doesn't flop around, and grab the attention of the authorities ......

Picked up a good used electric fridge for $50. It uses about 75ah during the night, which is well within the capabilities of our battery/inverter system, and runs on VeggieGen power during the day. It's also larger than the propane fridge. My health is back to normal, it's pretty warm out (-4F), and other than being a little low on sleep, it's looking like a good Monday.
