BeemerBoy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Colin, great to hear things are moving a bit smoother now. Great coverage, Guy and Chuck! EDIT: And by the way, I'm still amazed that some places have actually turned you down for the waste grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 ^Seems that a lot of restaurants sell their waste grease to companies that use it in other products, Scott. One of my donors had to back out, so I scrambled around town to find some others yesterday (may have found one). Joe, how can you make a pecan pie without bourbon? Larry, we'll totally have a BBQ here the next time you're in town (same for Guy). PS--J.M. Randalls, a local bar and grill, has agreed to donate some oil.

cfc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Colin and Norm will be a'headin' north tomorrow morning. We tooled a bit around the 'Burg this evening, mainly to pay proper homage to a local icon--Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que. Colin fuels up. That's all! Have a great, safe trip, Colin! . . . Pierce's! Yes, a mere stone's throw (if you have a strong arm) from the Great Woldf Lodge on E. Rochambeau. On that appetizing note, we were off to . . . . . . grease! So, off we go, in search of a nice pulled-pork samich, as well as . . . Here's the nerve center--where foul waste product is strained, filtered, and turned into fuel. Here's Norm--and Colin's feet.

ebl Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 You made him eat his vegetables, right, Chuck? After all, he is a growing boy! I look forward to seeing you out here, Colin. Coming to the Bash in two weeks? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 First off, big thanks to Scott, Guy, and Chuck for having me so far! I'm off to Dave's next! I'm sitting here with Angus McNasty as I type this, I pretty much love this cat! Chuck has been an awesome host, and Williamsburg is a really cool town! And Sorry Eric, I won't be in town until the week after. Remember, April 4th is the big Mercedes/whoever get together!! Norm still has a few little issues that will be worked out in the near future, but he should do just fine. And remember, check out my blogs on my website! http://www.ColinsGreenMachine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 ^Colin - you are a brave young man for getting that close to Angus McNasty. That cat earned it's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Angus McNasty is just awesome. He is a pimp among cats! and all other coast(including my own) bow to not only his awesomeness, but also, he has the coolest name in the entire world. Awesome work so far Collin, I really think people need to start using alternative fuels and this will open many people eyes! keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 ^Colin - you are a brave young man for getting that close to Angus McNasty. That cat earned it's name. Yes, Angus McNasty! The cat that takes no crap! The cat who knows 1001 ways to kill you! Actually, Angus has mellowed quite a bit over the last few years, although he did beat the crap out of some black cat last week. He was very nice to Colin this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just read your blog Colin. It was awesome! I love your musings while on the road. Keep up the great work! I am looking forward to seeing and hearing more. This is really turning out to be an adventure for you. I hope through all the minor incidents, you are still having a good time. The places you are visiting look beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very nice to Colin this week. Yeeeahhhh about that. Angus woke me up this morning. I got up to use the bathroom and went back to sleep, and he snuck in behind me. About 10 minutes later he attacked my arm as it was hanging off the bed. It's only bleeding a little! Then about 5 minutes ago he attacked my foot that was also hanging off the bed. GOOD KITTY!!! That's not bleeding though. Well not much anyway. Haha, it's okay though, I'll live. I hope.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 ^Hmm--come to think of it, he was a little rowdy this morning, batting a ball all over the house. Sorry about that, Colin. Looks like Angus needs a timeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll be okay though, I hit the scratches with peroxide and neosporin after I left! I still love Angus, haha. Currently sitting outside of a WaWa waiting to go eat with Nicole!!

cfc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 ^Angus's shots are up to date, but you never know about "Cat Scratch Fever." You might want to see your doctor if you feel the sudden urge to do the "Wango Tango." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Where in the world is Colin? How is Norm? The fans want to know. Hope all is well buddy and your not caught in a snow storm or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well, I can tell you that Colin was here in Baltimore this week, and he got to eat at some fine restaurants (currently being documented in "Dave's Restaurant & Food Thread", found on this very board!). And got to have his picture taken with a very famous icon...ICE BAT!!! dt Colin, Norm, and Ice Bat! All in my awesome driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Currently, I am in Michigan!!! Remember, my blog is updated daily at http://www.ColinsGreenMachine.com! I spent a few awesome days with Dave, and yes we had some awesome food while there! Next I'm headed a little south to Indy, then Chicago. Hopefully Norm doesn't kill me between now and then! ^YES I totally want that thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeemerBoy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Colin, I just had a little time to get caught up on everything. You've been through quite a bit lately! Glad to hear everything's still chugging along though! Folks, if you haven't read it yet, I definitely encourage you to give his blog a look. Here's a sample....and my favorite excerpt: Also I realize that Norm is old, and stuff happens to old cars. It's not something I should be surprised with, and my frustrations of being behind and dealing with these problems are just part of it all. If Norm breaks down, I'll fix him. If he stops running completely, I'll send him home. If he runs great, then we will carry on. Norm has become much more than a car to me. He's my travel buddy, the only one I have, and he's got a lot of character. I was driving through Virginia today when it hit me. I was sitting there, foot on the gas, leg bent up on my seat, windows down, wind blowing in my face when I just said to myself, "You know what? This is just awesome. Everything about this is awesome." And it really is. This is a road trip, and I don't think it would be a road trip without stuff like this happening to me. I'm glad I got an older car for this trip, as I don't think I would have as good of an experience had I gotten a newer one. I'm glad that I'm learning why people have never used a centrifuge as a portable filtration device, and why I think one day I will improve this. And most importantly I'm glad that everything that has happened, happened. If it didn't, I wouldn't have anything to write about here. So true. Keep on truckin', man! Or biodieseling....or whatever.

larrygator Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Norm's rear end is back in action once more! That was the funniest quote so far from Colin's blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Good to see that Norm was able to chug over Mt. Rose, Colin. I've driven that road a few times, and it can be pretty treacherous. I'm surprised that the road around Emerald Bay was open (that one usually shuts down until April). Did you take Hwy. 50 or I-80 to Sacramento?

ebl Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Highway 50 is a nice drive. I've driven it a couple of times. Best of luck to you, Colin. I look forward to meeting up with you and Norm when you reach SoCal. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
