Kermit the Bus

Morse and I (and Elmo) drove down in the new bus on Saturday, aptly named Kermit for its color. The new bus will be another experiment in alternative fuels and will also run on biodiesel. We produce the fuel on the farm with a Neely Green Solutions kit with used veggie oil from many of our restaurant customers. We hope to have more success with this vehicle, after discovering the previous bus has a sensor that rejects the Biodiesel.
This bus is slightly bigger than the last which means a different setup in our usual location at the Greenmarket. Morse's favorite feature being the wheelchair lift in the rear door, while I like the prospects for the internal/external PA system! Can't you hear "Buy 2 Get 1 Free!" coming from it already?!
At Loren's encouragement we took some portraits of everyone working the stand that day in front of our new friend.
