June 21, 2007 - Veggie Oil Conversion Part 1

I am writing you from Green Eye Autos in Eugene, Oregon. We started the veggie oil conversion on my custom 1993 Georgie Boy Encounter today. I am very happy to announce a co-sponsorship alliance between Clark and Jacob of Green Eye Auto for the West Indian Girl summer tour. Josh Bhatti and Ian McEvily have been supporting the tour on the East Coast by creating additional alliances in addition to this one. This is shaping up to be a great tour! We will announce the additional partnerships soon.

Below are some pictures of the process on day 1 of the conversion.

All the supplies above have been provided by Green Eye Auto and vegpower.com Check their site out for anything relating to conversion parts.

I will have additional pictures and notes of the process in the days to come.

On another note, Rodrigo just got back from Costa Rica. He reports that they had consistent head high swell for the catalogue shoot. He will send pictures along soon.

In tropical storm related news, this what the forecasters at the national hurricane center have to say...

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1030 PM EDT THU JUN 21 2007

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

A FRONTAL LOW LOCATED JUST OFF THE EAST COAST OF NORTHERN FLORIDA IS
PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM MAINLY OVER WATER. UPPER LEVEL
WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION.

A LARGE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER CONTINUES OVER THE WESTERN
CARIBBEAN SEA AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AMERICA. WHILE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS DO NOT APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT...
THIS SYSTEM COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AMERICA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES WESTWARD.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

We'll keep our focus on the Eastern Atlantic for development.

Also, I will be departing on Sunday for L.A. and if any of you know of some SVO or WVO (veggie oil) that I can burn in the RV, drop me a line at (maxwell_morrill@yahoo.com) Every drop counts! Thank for the help!
