I zapped my test domain and started with a fresh install on ModX.  The install process is so easy and pretty much error proof.  After installing it I went into system configuration and tried to get the SEO/User friendly URLs working, but ran into a few issues.  Everything works great without the friendly urls but as soon as I try to do it I get a 500 error. So I have to work at it a little more.  No biggy I will get it some time.

That ended up being about as much time as I could spend on it.  We were going over to Laura's workplace to see about grabbing their cooking oil.  We went out to lunch and then came back to talk with the kitchen manager.  Everything was good to go and the oil is the cleanest I have ever seen.  I grabbed close to 51 gallons in total.  

We then stopped by Northern Tool to see about a fuel transfer tank and they did not have the one I needed in stock.  I have the short bed Ford with the 5th wheel hitch in the back so my options are kind of small.  I am not having any issues getting oil and the mixing process is simple but I have having an issue with hauling all I need.  I pretty much go through about 200 gallons a month when I'm fishing and with the wife getting a diesel also I have not figured out how to haul enough to keep going.

So we purchased 9-6 gallon cans and will start with these to try it out on the trip over to Atlanta for training.  I also had to grab a hand pump to be able to transfer from the holding tank to the vehicles (150.00).  

When I got home I unloaded my oil and started making a cover for the cans so no one gets to friendly with them.  I made a lock system for them and the cover took about 2 hours.  Then I started loading my cans up.  My transfer pump is supposed to be a 30 cycle and it was shutting off every 3 minutes on the nose so the process did not go very quickly.

After I emptied my drum I started transfering my new oil into the mixing tank and put 40 gallons in the vat and added everything but 3.5 gallons of kerosene that I was missing.  I will pick up more stuff tomorrow and finish the batch.

Now I am back in the house writing on my blog and getting ready to work on my ModX stuff again.
