DF +VL = TL + CGP?

Well, Its been a long time since my last post, and I thought I might get you caught up with all the happenings with the Little family.  Ashleigh graduated from Kendell and Shelby is now in GR at Aveda or as she call it "Douglas J.".  We are living the empty nester's life, and loving it.

Well the title of this Blog post can be confusing, so lets start.  I have a Jetta Diesel and it runs on Diesel fuel.  My biggest concern is that my wonderful wife will some day fuel my car with normal petrol,  and thus causing my car to go "bye bye" and not work any more.  Every time Vic takes the car, I say make sure you fuel this with Diesel Fuel and not normal gas.  She says, "Come on Tom, I know the difference."

One of my customers travel to Germany, and they did this with a cool Audi rental car, and the thing only made it down the road about 1/2 mile and it quite running.  They blamed it on "lost in Translation" or they could not tell that the car was a Diesel and not a gas powered car.  

This happened the day before the Coast Guard Parade in Grand Haven, which is big, really big!

I'm working that day and run out of petrol in Holland Michigan.  I started to fuel the car, and you guessed it, the thing I  begged Vic to never do, I DID....  Yep, silly Tommy, what a screw up.  I caught it about 8 gallons in, and didn't run the car more than 15 seconds to get it out of the way so a tow truck could pick it up.

I got my dealer in Muskegon to secure a loaner car for the weekend, and all was well, other than the embarrassment of talking to Vic, and trying to explain how it happened.

On Saturday, when taking the crew to the parade, and going to Kevin and Kathy's for a prime parade route seat (pprs), we had to go past a couple of barricaded signs and road closed's with Cops.  Everyone kept asking me if I was in the parade, and for the life of me, I could not figure out why they kept asking me?  I just didn't get it.???  Later it dawned on my why?  Check out the picture.....

OK, OK, this blog is to be about Vic, and this post is not.  I'm allowed some blond moment throughout the year too....

Diesel Fuel + Vic Little= Tom Little in the Coast Guard Parade.   (nice)...
