9 Days Until Aber

Hmm wednesday, typical middle of the week day really, iIm now very tired after staying up till about 2.30am for many nights in a row, last night due to calling the states from my mobile, which I was quite impressed with acutally. Direct dial, no noticeable voice delay (I take it that this means landline as apposed to satellite?) and what is most annnoying, is it was cheaper to phone the states than it was to phone a mobile on another network in the UK!

Monday was the start of my last week at work, and to be honest it is dragging so far, spent a lot of time reading newsgroups, and just getting things finished off before I go. One thing i'm starting to consider again is converting the car to run off vegetable oil, aside from the technical side of getting a heated fuel filter and some othe things it seems there is a lot of red tape, for one you can't just take waste oil and put it in your car, you have to pay duty on it, and in order to do that, you have to technically be registered as an oil distributor! When I phoned Customs and Excise, they were very helpful, however he didnt seem to know if there was any mechanism for catching people who don't pay tax on their waste chip fat, so I really don't know what to think/do, think I'll put it off until next summer.... For the next project, the car needs a service, needs the shocks changing, and needs a new radiator that started leaking this week :

As usual I have not acutally bothered to put up any pictures, but for more info on Diesel-Veg oil conversions see : Goat industries
