Update on why no updates

Many people have asked why there have been no updates on the blog.  I don't have much time at the moment, but I'm motivated to get this out there, so I'll just make a list:

  • I didn't intend to start the project until mid-summer in the first place.  
  • I need to sell my truck first.  This hasn't happened yet.
  • Right now, I need a car to drive during the conversion.  So far, I've been driving the CR-V as a gas car.  My old car needs an exhaust, rotors, and a battery if I am to start the conversion myself.
  • I have been considering having a garage perform the conversion, and I'm still mulling this over.  The garage will have the conversion done much faster than me doing it in my spare time, but on the other hand, I want the experience of doing it largely myself.
  • Lastly, I was in a minor accident on my motorcycle back in March, and uncertainty about medical bills made me cautions to commit many resources.  Not to worry, I am completely fine, and fully recovered from the accident.
With all of that out of the way, we are proceeding with the conversion.  The way and timetable to proceed is still a bit in question, but it is happening.
