That looks good!

it's been a long time since I updated this thread, and a long time since I did any work to any vehicles in general, but I expect to resume some of my efforts soon, so I wanted to catch this thread up. A while back I built a TWS CJ7 Jeep RC kit. I made some minor modifications in that I printed a modified set of seats from the 69 Charger model that I printed the 69 Charger interior from. I did this because the TWS kit came with the later high-back style seats. The earlier CJ7s like they used in the show had the low back seats which looked very similar to the charger seats, so that was a good way to get the right style seats. Additionally, I was able to carefully cut out the doors on the lexan body and I hope to build some hinges so I can put them on when desired, but that's a project for another day. Because of the open jeep design, it was absolutely necessary to have a driver, and these options were very limited. There aren't any action figures that look anything like Daisy. I looked into some of the proper sized action figures available on Ebay but those seem to be aimed mostly at Cosplay people and perverts. They're expensive, anatomically accurate for pornstars, and the clothing all needs to be bought separately. Since my daughter is involved in this whole process, that approach was scrapped and I found this 3d printable option that I decided to go with. It doesn't really look like Daisy, but it's better than the scale pornstar option! Next step for the Jeep is a more correct wheel/tire package and the decals. I'm not terribly impressed with the decal set that I bought on Ebay, so I'll probably work up my own and have MCI print them for me. He's the one that I got the General decals from, and the one that printed the police decals that I designed. Hopefully soon I'll start my 3rd General Lee build.

Some random advice: 1. Take lessons from a local instructor. Learning guitar is hard. Having an instructor vastly improves your chances of success. 2. When you're learning chords, just hold the chord while you're watching tv. Strum it a little bit during commercials. At first when you pull your hand away, you have to carefully reposition your fingers. After a while you'll notice that your hand will snap back to that spot. Once it does that, you'll start to be able to just grab that chord without positioning your fingers. 3. Once you can grab the chord reliably, start working on a 2nd chord. Once you can grab 2 reliably, start switching between them 4. When you're actually practicing instead of just holding chords while watching Dukes reruns, focus on having good timing. That's a critically important skill. Go as slow as you need to. Whether you use a metronome, a youtube drum track or play along with the song, timing is everything. Even if you can only strum the chord once per beat, your timing is always your priority. 4a. Learn to tap your foot to the beat. Do it to every song on the radio when you're not practicing. Make it become 2nd nature, because you'll need it to keep good time, especially when you start getting to songs with stuff that's off the beat. 5. A bunch of old Waylon and Hag songs are only 2 chords. 6. This probably should have gone near the top, but take your guitar to a competent tech or luthier for a setup. Make sure he knows that you're a beginner and he should be able to set up the guitar with lighter strings and lower action. This will make it easier to play. Like I said above... learning is hard, and frankly, it's a lot harder when you start on acoustic. It's bigger, it's farther from your body, it's harder to see what you're doing, the strings are thicker and they're farther from the frets. Hope this helps.

And some of them even mention NASCAR!

It was a rough January. The weekend is supposed to be bad here on Lake Erie but a major warm up is on the way for the entire eastern US! Yeeehaww!

Well the pre season race was supposed to be this past weekend to give me some relief from my withdrawals, but the dreaded winter put a halt to it as they had to post pone the race due to SNOW! So in turn the race is now tomorrow (Wednesday). Weekend schedule for 2026 Clash at Bowman Gray | NASCAR 12 more days until Daytona!!!!

This can't possibly be right. Nobody ever died while driving in Hazzard. I have to question those numbers. Nobody even got hurt. Fake news.

I wish to draw again but im not sure what to draw........bo maybe......hmmm.......

Here's a video of an ex-pat American who now lives in the Netherlands comparing driving there to driving in the USA.

It definitely has been a big part of my life. No other show has even been close to Dukes as my favorite show ever.....and never will.

Some of you may have noticed HazzardNet was down for a few hours today. The database wouldn't come up. Fixed it though. I bet Enos unplugged something important to plug in the coffeemaker. He didn't even leave me any donuts from the Busy Bee.

LOL! I ran out of reactions so....LOL!

Well guys, I got my tower back today, so I'm back in action and the computer is fast again!

It really does! How in the world did 47 yrs. pass that fast? I bet it wouldn't have been that fast if the DOH hadn't come along to spice life up!

Jesse Duke is an eX Moonshiner.

47 years! Feels like 10 to me.

Thanks for getting everything back. I had just assumed it was routine maintenance and I'd missed the warning.

Well y'all. . .I have been trying to mend my broken heart since Sunday. I may never be the same. Though I have to admit it was nice being on the winning side this year. This is the best season they've had in over a decade. Ben Johnson is the coach the Bears have needed since Lovie Smith. Caleb Williams is one of the best QBs they've had. It has been a fun season...stressful, but fun. Sad it is over, but proud of the team and their never give up attitude. Though with them out... Football is officially over for me. Daytona is 23 more days from now... Onto NASCAR and baseball...

Well, Garrett if you really want to watch the Bears on Super Bowl Sunday you could always pop Boar's Nest Bears in the DVD player.

That white stuff is called snow Hobie.

Well I've got my shower and I'm watching S. 4, not 5. I'm watching " Nothing But The Truth".

Right now I'm on the computer and I'm watching the weather/news and then after the usual TV shows I watch I'll take a shower around 8 pm central and then .....It's the peak of DOHD!! I'll watch something off of S. 5 .

I'm celebrating DOHD early tonight ( I'll probably celebrate tomorrow too! ( My wife is off tomorrow and the next day, so I don't have to take her to work! Everybody needs to celebrate with the DOHD ( maybe get on here and tell everyone what you're watching?) AND celebrate with your favorite Libation!

oh yea.....I'm also trying to figure out how to rig the Moonshine Mauler this year, so it won't be beaten, like it was last year! I have to admit though, I didn't mind being beaten by Garrett. He's a good man! He won last year if you remember!! I'm feeling the effects....so....I may not be with you much longer....LOL!

ooops! I forgot !!

2nd annual? Didn't my grandaddy beat your grandaddy back in the Moonshine 400 back in '31?

Oh good! I'm glad I talked some sense into you. I bet you're glad you joined the good side after last night's game. Talk about waiting for the last second to do something. But hey...they did it! But seriously, thank you for supporting them.

I'm sitting here watching TV and making plans......plans for the 2nd annual Moonshine 400 ! It comes in the first week of May you know! I'm going to TRY to win this year....well...I tried last year but the Moonshine Mauler just couldn't cut it! How many of you guys are planning to race in it this year? ( If you will remember we had a good turn out last year!)

Garrett, I've changed my mind bud....I'm pulling for the Bears tonight!

we'll find out tomorrow bud! You just be here after the game and we'll talk about it and what went wrong....lol!

Nope. I've moved on. We got Iceman Caleb Williams now...gonna ice Green Bay out tomorrow night. Or at least I hope...

HAPPY DOHD!! ( Dukes of Hazzard Day!) I'm just surfing on the net and watching TV right now ( 11:24 AM, Central time! ) Later on tonight, I'll be watching TDOH around 7 or 8 central. That's the only way to celebrate DOHD!!

I think they're in Italian, and why does he post very short random clips? There's a total of 3½ minutes of episode 1, and that's split across five videos. At least one of the later clips is only eight seconds long. Not very watchable. You'd be better off going to the Fans of Sonny Enos Shroyer YouTube channel. As far as I can see, there's 11 complete episodes (out of 18). The picture quality isn't the best, but they're in English and the scenes I skipped through are good enough.

Jay Cutler played a season with the Dolphins after he retired from the Bears...LOL

The Steelers? Maybe! The Bills? Definitely NOT! They're in the same division as my Dolphins! ( I've been a big fan since '72!!.....I was 7! )

YES! Happy late birthday!!

thank you!! I don't think I like the style, maybe i'll draw him again but different

Yet another new thread started because you couldn't be bothered to use the search function. We already have more than one anniversary thread, including the one you started in 2022!

If the Bears win tomorrow Garrett won't be writing about NASCAR. I hope they do. My second favorite team the Bills were robbed today so I'm a Bears fan the rest of the season.

Thank you Roger. That was a disappointing first half and an exciting and stressful second half. What a come back! I am sorry about your Steelers. I thought of you when I saw that. I have a hard time going for them due to their current QB . . . he may no longer be on that other team (sorry...I can't say the name. ) but he has always annoyed me. I do hate for you and the fans and sad to see Tomlin stepping out. 19 years say a lot. And the fact they made it to the playoffs, he should still be proud. A lot of teams didn't make it that far. Well the other Chase must be a great guy. I am sorry to hear that he didn't do too well. I am hoping this will be Chase ELLIOT's year.

Right now, I'm watching TV and drinking a Twisted Tea variety 12pk. Right now I'm drinking The one that's Half and Half....half hard iced tea and half lemonade. They all have 5% ABV ( alcohol by volume). Hard Iced Tea is tea with whiskey.....don't know but I think it's Rum.....?? A little later, I might watch DOH if there's nothing on after 7pm Central. I usually watch our favorite show at night as I'm going to sleep. I will watch it earlier though if there's nothing on.

Turk Adams (When he got partnered up with Enos Strate):"I knew that Lt. Broggi didn't like me. But not this bad." 😂

Better watch out for me and my pickup truck. We will be pulling the S. S. Minnow on the trailer again. We will try to beat you. 😂

Awesome! Thanks for sharing it.

.......and a lugnut!

Season 2 Granny Annie

I played this game on Tuff and Hard all while thinking to myself "Darn people on YouTube who posted the Tuff and Hard mode video game movies, I don't know how the heck you beat this game on those modes. Geez." 😂 Missions 12 and 13 had me wanting to throw my PlayStation 1 controller. 😂 Daisy Duke's Jeep Dixie is slow as a snail. 😂 That's why Rosco & Enos kept wrecking me making me fail. Too much car damage. Because the law improves their driving on Tuff and Hard modes.
