My evening was one of french fries and fast food... or, maybe the smell of french fries and fast driving. > > Actually, I was leaving my favorite fast food restaurant, Checker's, late this afternoon with my drink and bag of food. I had ordered a Cheese Double Cheese... they are good! And a fish sandwich... 99� and really good. BUT, I had not ordered french fries. What was that smell? > > Looking up, I saw the back porch of Blue Heaven... Ron Morrison's french fried oil burner bus. So, I found a hole in the traffic and took off behind him. I thought I would pull up beside him and surprise him. I was about 30 miles from home. He was about 1000 miles from home, though I knew he was spending the winter wandering around Florida FOR FREE. > > Darn it, I caught a traffic light. Then another. Soon, my 3 lanes were narrowing to 2 and Ron was getting further ahead. He must have been a mile ahead of me when he came up behind a slow moving wrecker. "I'll catch him, now." > ----- Original Message ----- From: "RON MORRISON" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 1:12 PM Subject: Re: Ron's Getaway Chase on WASTE VEGETABLE OIL > > I made it all the way to Okeechobbe, Fl. & Greg didn't catch me. At the time I didn't know he was chasing me, but I called him when in Okeechobee & I knew it was me he was chashing, because he knew I had the rear door open to get more air flow. It was 76 degrees at 10 PM there. Any feedback on running down the road with the passenger front door open? I will have driven over 500 miles on this trip. Going to have to stop & filter some more oil before arriving back at Weeki Wachee. Wouldn't it be nice to stop at a SHELL OIL STATION to do it? LOL. Even more people have marveled at how I have my bus fixed up inside & also of using waste vegetable oil. Yesterday, I accidently started up on WASTE VEGETABLE OIL. Didn't realize it until I turned out of the campgrounds & was going to flip it on & it was already on. So far, maybe I have used 1-2 gallons of diesel fuel in 400 miles. WHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, what fuel economy. > I stopped at a restaurant in the country down by Moore Haven where I know the people from stopping & eating there the last 2 years, to see if they had any free waste oil, but their's was cruddy & water in it. Then as I turned around, I saw 3 plastic barrels of 25-30 gallons capacity each, so I went in & asked about them. She said I could have them as she used to use them to carry water to her horses, so now I have 3 plastic barrels to put up under the bus. It was hot, (90 degrees) in the bus & it is nice to go into air-conditioned Chamber Of Commerce here at Arcadia, Fl. to do my e-mail. > Sorry about that Greg. Maybe next time you'll catch me. Actually if you are home, I'll be to your house in a little while, maybe time for supper.
