Our Volksvegan Adventure

Update your bookmarks! I’ve purchased a domain name for this blog: volksvegan.org. I’m trying to figure out how to redirect this blog to the new domain, but in the meantime, visit us at volksvegan.org!

There will be a few changes as I work kinks out (and I can now redesign and tweak the site to my heart’s content if I wish), but I’m excited that we now have an official domain name.

Stay tuned on the new volksvegan.org for updates on our progress!

We plan to leave on our ultimate volksvegan adventure two weeks from now. It’s time to move fast! This week is my last week of work, and I’ve been getting ready for the big yard sale this Saturday.

Seneca has been working on the bus of course. Today he is installing the auxillery battery (it fits perfectly under the driver’s seat). It will run the stereo, super-bright headlights, and anything plugged into the cigarette lighter socket (like my laptop!) so we don’t have to take power away from the main battery. Just a little added reliability is nice. Eventually we could get a solar panel that charges the batteries as well. If we had the money for that sort of thing…

We are also figuring out a more portable option for filtering grease on the road, and decided to get a new pump that can be powered by the bus (instead of having to plug it in) and it’s much smaller and more powerful. We’ll use the filters in casings that we have now, but Sen ordered one for the end that goes down to 1 micron. Clean grease is very important, especially now that our baby got a new engine.

And in other news, I recently bought a domain name for this blog, volksvegan.org. It’ll take a bit to set it up, but I’ll let you know when to update your bookmarks! 🙂 I’m off to get ready and plan this trip!
