Because I'm still close to the UK, I'm usually identified as English, and that's fine with me (although I didn't celebrate St George's Day on Thursday!). My nationality is British, and that's probably how I'd be known further from home where people aren't so familiar with the differences between the Home Nations.

Oh! Hey! You guys remember...next month we will have the second annual Moonshine 400!! Be getting ready!! Garrett will be defending his championship but I imagine there's a few of us around, who will have something to say about that!

I am not Roger...but Go Chicago Cubs Go!!!!

yes, it's good to see you back bud! Don't be a stranger!

Hey y'all. I've been around here and there, just not logged in. Sorry to abandon y'all. I saw my name and it caught my eye. LOL. Thank you for remembering me. Sounds fun! Though I haven't been on my computer as much as I was a year ago, so I may not be able to post as much as before. I'm always ready to extend my winning streak.

Although I use my phone to check HNet when I'm out of the house, I make well over 90% of my contributions from a laptop. The ability to easily switch between multiple tabs and multiple sources, and having an actual keyboard to type on means that I can't imagine getting nearly as involved with smaller devices. Roger, I don't know how big your tablet is, but I'm sure the larger screen benefits your viewing of photos and videos.

Sorry but I have an astronomy event to go to in a place called Clarion Pennsylvania. I'll jump a creek on the way down though just to get in the spirit of DOHD. Yeeeehawwww!

Well fellow Hazzardites....it's DOHD once again! ( Dukes Of Hazzard Day). I'm going to have to pick up my wife later and then I'll come back and open a new 15pk. case of Milwaukee's Best Ice ( Ice beer is my fav.! ) and I'll watch some of season 6 tonight and might get into season 7...don't know....I'll probably be back on here later as I watch the show and....uh.....celebrate the holiday! Hey cousins! You guys need to get on here with me on DOHD and celebrate with me! Roger, you can celebrate with Buttermilk! We can all get wild and party on Friday night, the official DOHD !!

Thanks for the warning, Hobie. I was about to appoint Roger as HazzardNet's official tech guy.

If you two need any technical advice just let me know.

If my math is correct, that's 10am my time which is fine with me. I'll be at work, so wouldn't normally have a chance to check HNet mid-morning.

I'm a night owl, so that won't be a problem. Mid-week it is. How about a Wednesday or Thursday around 2am my time? It'll probably be sometime this summer. I have a lot going on right now. Lots of doctor's appointments. If all goes well, the summer should be pretty quiet. Good time to do the update.

They're virtually unknown over here, and so far I've only seen them at this show. The guy goes by the name 'Cranky Yankee'. I've just checked his Facebook page, and apparently he'll be closer to where I live a couple of times over the summer.

Why Are The British So Eccentric In War? That's the question posed in this video. It tells the story of why you can always make tea in a British tank, and of the soldier who went into battle in Operation Market Garden (the failed attempt to take the bridge in Arnhem as dramatized in the movie 'A Bridge Too Far') with an umbrella.

Garrett is definitely a heavy hitter here on the HN....been here longer than me.

I hope you have a good weekend Garrett. You mean a lot to all of us here in Hazzard County!

I am sorry you missed the pro bike race. Glad you missed the rain though.

Thank you Roger and Hobie! You made my day . They'll be racing at Talladega this weekend. Sadly I'll be out so I won't watch it, but I'll be rooting on #9 as always!

And that's a fact!

That's fine. I'm happy with anything. It wouldn't be NASCAR without you.

Thanks Garrett. 🤗

I am sorry to hear that Skipper. Sorry for your loss.

Well hopefully Dorothy is back in Kansas, because we are now back to Kansas this weekend. NASCAR Cup Series at Kansas Speedway Live Leaderboard, Results, & Updates

Garrett takes defending his championship very seriously, but wish you all best of luck.

It's amazing because you are amazing!

I'm just about to start communicating with the Spirits.....Milwaukee's Best Ice.....last wk. it was Natural Ice but I think I like MWBI better!

That just doesn't seem possible!

Hey bud, have you seen or heard from Roger? He's been gone a while. I think.

Thank you Roger. I didn't realize that we have reached 100 pages! That is amazing!

Thank you Hobie

Good to hear from you Garrett. How are your Cubs doing?

NASCAR is at my favorite track today! It's Bristol, baby! (Darrell Waltrip use to say that.) Anyway, it's a track I've been at. Not for NASCAR, but when the Dukes had their Dukefest there. Those were good times. What to Watch: Bristol | NASCAR NASCAR Cup Series a Bristol Motor Speedway Live Leaderboard, Results, & Updates (Today's starting line up) NASCAR Cup Series Standings & Stats - Official Site Of NASCAR (Standings as of right now) Alex Bowman (#48 Hendrick) will return today after missing four or so races due to vertigo.

My guess is they don't know how to figure the century's!!

Just realized how much this car looks like Dale Earnhardts wrangler car.

I've just checked out their website - luraycaverns.com - and they're very impressive. One thing that confused me - if they were discovered in 1878, why does the tour guide wear an 18th century costume (I'm quoting the video)? That would date from at least 79 years before the caves were discovered!

The Cooters in the Smokies is pretty nice too!

We went down to our daughter's in Winchester Virginia Thursday (home of Patsy Cline) but didn't really have any plans to do anythjng in particular. We go there at least twice a year and have pretty much done everything in the area but had never been to Luray Caverns. (It is unbelievable!) When we were leaving I remembered that Cooter's was somewhere near there so my daughter looked it up and we were only 7 miles away! We didn't stay long because I was the only person of 6 who was interested but it was incredible. I almost want to call it a spiritual experience but that bothers me a little to use that word since I believe in God but that place is definitely Hazzard Heaven on Earth. I am going to keep an eye on the schedule and go down again next time they have a big event. I hate to travel but who knows what will happen to the place after Ben passes on to Hazzard Heaven so I definitely want to go back for something big. BTW Ben wasn't there. He lives 45 minutes away though. I tried to get some people to join HazzardNet but see they haven't yet. I am still in awe over Cooter's. You would think that you couldn't top something like Luray's Cavern. It is one of the most amazing natural wonders on Earth. But Crazy Cooter pulled it off just a few minutes later.

Happy Easter to all my cousins in Hazzard County!

I think we need more details, Roger.

Always great to make memories ain’t it? You and your brother will cherish that time forever. My dad and I went to a few local car shows in our time too, he liked his cars but he really loved art. He was a painter, he did those paint by numbers kits, and managed to do 50 of em. He gave a lot of em away a few years ago, but the handful he kept are now proudly hanging on my walls.

Hi Roger, I was very blessed to have him, and I hope I do him proud. He definitely passed the tradition on to me, and I hope someday I’m blessed enough to do the same, should I be blessed with fatherhood. You’re not too personal, don’t worry. Actually my name is Thomas, but I shorten it to Tom these days. When I signed up here and thought of a username, I figure Tom Duke has a nice ring to it. Never realized about the parallel with Tom Wopat, kinda cool as he’s my favourite of the Duke Boys.

Dad instilled a love of cars in me. He used to take me to cruisin' 50's night in high school and when I was little we went to the Harrah's Auto Museum in Sparks, NV on vacation. That was a treat. Dad had dementia for his last years, but my brother and I managed to get him to the Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance and the Petersen Automotive Museum a few years ago. We had a blast, made some great memories, and took lots of photos.

Hey y’all, just signed up to the forums. The name’s Tom, Tom Duke. Happy to be here too! Yee-Haw!

British English often comes with subtext and inferred meanings whereas American English tends to be more direct. Here's a video by an American who's been living in the UK for a while. In it, she describes some of the phrases that initially confused her.

I hope you aren't gone too long cousin. Keep us updated.

Well I didn't watch the race. I need to find how to watch them now. It's been awhile. NASCAR Cup Series a Bristol Motor Speedway Live Leaderboard, Results, & Updates

OK my fellow Hazzardites....it's Dukes Of Hazzard Day! Happy DOHD!!! I'm about to watch Jeopardy ( a special celebrity edition but around 8:00pm central....I'll have my DVDs of TDOH.....I'll tell you what I'm watching, in case anybody's here and wants to watch with me! I'm about to partake of the spirits....Natural Ice ( Ice beer is my favorite! ) and finish Jeopardy! I hope everybody is having a great DOHD ! Hey, Hoss, your Irish song stuff is excellent! I love Irish music......because I'm Irish on both sides of my family? I HATE Guiness....so....???? But the music is excellent! THANK YOU! Right now...I'm watching Ding Dong The Boss Is Dead!

That reminds me of when Daisy asked Enos what his favorite part of the chicken was.

Vance's birthday's coming up again soon (Feb21). We miss you and love you cousin.

Sounds like great fun, Hoss. It's been a long time since I've been to a car show. My dad used to take me a lot when I was younger. And then there were Cruisin' 50's nights every Friday in the summer. Fun times.
