The one about Tiffany’s $80 for 8 gallons of gas bill…..

Ξ August 13th, 2005 | → 11 Comments | ∇ Tiffany, great storys |

Ok here is a picture of a bill that we paid just two days ago for Tiffany’s car….the day before Tiffany said that she was pulling out of the garage and as soon as it got out of the garage the car died on her. @ First she thought it was the battery…but the radio was still on, and a few other things suggested that it was not the battery…and I mean as soon as you turned the key it would die…so you could not even see any warning lights that would come on…so we called USAA one of the greatest companies on this planet…and asked them to tow it to a garage (totally free mind you) that Tiffany’s church members said was the best and most reasonable in town…..we followed the tow truck to the garage and dropped off the car only to wait for a phone call to find out what was wrong…..(mind you we had just spent $400 on a few other fixes just 3 weeks before)….so I get a phone call from the garage…and here is the conversation:

Garage Owner: Mr. Hollums?

Me: Yes, this is D.G.

Garage Owner: Well, I have run all the test I can on your car. I mean I really had a hard time finding out what could be the problem…and finally I found out the root of the problem…pause…

Me: Yeah, so what was wrong with it?

Garage Owner: Well, after al the detective work…the only thing we found that was missing in the car was….(long pause)…. gas.

Me: (Dumbfounded silence)…….(a little more of the same)…Your @#$%*!% me!?

Garage Owner: Nope that is what is wrong with the car…it was out of gas (laughter filling the phone in the background of the garage)(I think they were all standing around listening to the call…I might have even been on speaker phone, heh heh) (please understand this garage is one of the best places on the earth, I would have put me on the speaker phone too, hew)

Me: Sorry, I normally don’t cuss I am a pastor..But man…I can’t believe that…you mean that my wife’s car wouldn’t start because she did not fill it up with gas?

Garage Owner: Yep, that is the case…so I tell you what…I will put $8 of gas in there for you and with the $68 inspection fee your total comes to $76 and your car is ready for you to pick it up.

Me: Ok, thank you!

So, I proceeded to call my wonderful, beautiful, lovely, genius wife to tell her that she needs to be careful about where she gets her gas from because the last place she went cost her $76 for 8 gallons…and I knew the gas prices were bad…but it took real talent to find it that high of a price, heh….. I never gave her too hard of a time…and when I told her she thought in all seriousness real hard assuming that she did fill up with gas…”That couldn’t right!!!”…and then she remembered….. that one fateful night (exactly two nights ago) that she told me she was going to go get gas..and never did….heh heh…

So, we laughed it off and got the car…and all is well, but I just had to share with you the fun story of the Hollums House….and to let you all know that one of the best garages in Cold Spring is Moore’s Garage for your “Complete Auto and Truck Repair” 781-6060 State Rt. 546 in Cold Spring, KY!

Yall have a great weekend..and I circled the bill for you to see the actual costs…. And she even gave her Sr. Pastor the right to use the story in a sermon..so I am assuming the same is true for any and ALL of you too…let us always not only KUTPs….but lets keep our eyes on the gas tank level too. Love yall and God bless yall!

 

The one about me going to my first live pro-football game…..

Before the big news I talked about yesterday in the post…I wanted to share with yall a night in my life I won’t soon forget…my fist live pro-football game! I went with my friends John and Mike…while John’s wife Sylvia and Tiffany spend the entire night together talking and doing other girl stuff, heh…. well here is “the guys” meeting up @ Joseph-Beth Booksellers before the game so we could all go in one car!…..


here is the ticket for the game!


Here is the extremely short line when we got there….we got there early, heh….

Here was my first view of “The Jungle” otherwise known as Paul Brown Stadium….we were sitting in Section 201 row 22 seats 6,7, & 8! Man these were great seats….and those chairs were so comfortable! padded back and bottom! It was the first time I did not feel uncomfortable sitting in stadium seating for a live game…it was almost as padded as the nice theaters we all go to now…well not the Hollums Home Theater…but still padded none the less, heh…..

Here is John standing next to the big screen on our right and there was another one on the left of us! It had a good picture…but still not HD (heh heh heh)…I thought was a cool picture, heh!…..

Here is a picture of the Patriots practicing….and if you look @ the very top right of the picture in the top stands….(the section that the right pole of the field goal post is touching) is the section we sat @…..

The Bengals take the field! With “Who Dey” leading them on the field with a huge flag……

just another pic of the field..I think this might be the coin toss…. not sure….


Touchdown Bengals! You can tell it was late in the game when most of the 2nd & 3rd string were in the game(because not everyone is on their feet cheering)….but still lots of fun…and everyone around wanted to give high fives, and yell at each other…heh it was great!……There was only one drunk guy that got kicked out that was sitting in front of us a few rows down…so all in all is was a great time! heh heh.

Hey look they finally came close to our side of the field…and my camera is horrible when it comes to any kind of zoom, heh…..

Here are the guys after the game was over…I felt like I had taken a few showers in my own sweat…but man it was wonderful…and even through the Bengals lost(23 to 13 The Bengals actually made a touchdown…but the officials did not call it)…it was still a fun game and a fun time had by all…..

And then we all went back and ate some wings and fries @ BW3’s here is a picture I wanted everyone to smile @ but it ended up with Tiffany throwing a quarter @ John…I want everyone to take a good hard look @ Tiffany in this picture…see that face? Yep that is the look she has when she is up to no good…she can’t hide her sadistic glee…John knows the look and that is why his hand is attempting to block the soon to be thrown coin…and Sylvia (John’s wife is laughing in the back ground…not sure what Mike is thinking..but it was great to have him go! Well, I am still finishing up the final touches on “the big news” so please be patient and never forget to KUTPs!!!!!! God bless yall!

Oh and I have got to put up one more post before the new news….so let me see if I can scan something in and post it real quick and then yall can look forward to the new news.
