I've never seen his shows (I'm not sure if they were shown over here), but I'm familiar with him through memes! It's so odd for me listening to Thomas being narrated by an American. The fictional setting of the Island of Sodor is so British (it's meant to be located in the Irish Sea between the English mainland and the Isle of Man). BTW. Last weekend marked the 80th anniversary of The Railway Stories (AKA. Thomas and Friends) - there's an article about it here. At least the music's good to dance to.3 points

I'm sure I've asked before but I can't find it, but what were the 3 wooden plaques in Boss' office at the Boor's Nest? 1. One bad turn deserves another 2. Do unto others before they do it unto you. 3. ??????? * * I'd appreciate any help finding the 3rd one and if you know it, the episode that shows it. I asked a long time ago and thought later on, I'll find it but never have.2 points -

George Russell took a very impressive pole for Mercedes in Singapore yesterday with an in-form Max Verstappen in second ahead of title leader Oscar Piastri. Williams, who had qualified 12th and 13th, had both cars disqualified due to illegal rear wing openings, so started at the back. Oscar's team mate Lando Norris got a good start from fifth and managed to take third after some minor contact. Charles Leclerc also got away well and got to fourth ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli. There was a bit of place swapping in the mid-field, but it's a hard to overtake in Singapore. Despite a spin by Nico Hulkenberg on lap 45, the race avoided any form of safety car for the second year in a row. Toward the end, Lando was closing on Max, but just couldn't get past. At the flag, George Russell took his second win of the year ahead of Max and Lando. Oscar nearly caught the battle ahead, but had to settle for fourth. Lewis had a quick second half of the race, but ceded his position to Charles near the end, and was also penalized a position for exceeding track limits when his brakes faded. Finishing third and fourth, Lando only closed the gap to Oscar by three points in the Drivers' Championship. They did, however, do enough for McLaren to claim this year's Constructors' Championship with six races to go. That's back-to-back wins for the team. You can see the race highlights here. We're back stateside for the next race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin in two weeks.2 points -

I heard that a player had been robbed, but not who it was until after I saw your post. Sadly, there seems to be a trend of attacks in Dublin at the moment. An English tourist was stabbed (but survived) in the same area last week. I don't know if they've caught anyone or announced the nationality of the attackers. By all accounts the NFL game was a success, so it's such a shame that it was marred by an incident like this.2 points -

So, are you going to turn your kit into a Charger Daytona? I don't know much about 3D printing, but www.printables.com has downloadable files for a General Lee including the push bar.2 points -
They used some '68 Chargers in the show, so it's still authentic. The main differences between the '68 and '69 Chargers are the front grille, the rear lights and the side markers. You can sand off the side markers (as they did with the real ones). You can probably fabricate the front grille divider (they had center pieces to clip to '68 grilles on some cars in the show). The tail lights will be trickier to change.2 points

Well y’all in the past 24 hours, life hasn’t been too eventful but I did go to visit a friend who was staying in town, hung out with her and her doggo. Cute as button, but so strong. That pup pulled me and I’m a full grown man. What happened was she was just going to get something at the nearby convenience store… the dog went nuts and started pulling me along even though I dug my heels in. Guess you just can’t get between a dog and their momma. Lol.2 points

Went to the local GM plant's car show today. Over 300 cars, possibly 400 showed up. One that stuck out for me was a restored Hudson pickup truck. Never seen one before. Since it was invitation only it was pretty much hot rods and muscle cars. They might go back to open registration again next year. Few years ago they had some trouble with a few people and police showed up so that's when they made it invitation only, you have to work there or worked there or know someone that works there that will write you in.2 points

A couple of pieces of F1 news. Firstly, Cadillac F1 recently announced F1 veterans Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will be their drivers next season. Now they've added IndyCar race winner Colton Herta as their test driver. Secondly, Irish driver Alex Dunne gets his second chance to drive an F1 McLaren in the first practice session this weekend at Monza.2 points -

Rosco was in the back seat of the bad guy's car and wanted to warn the Dukes they were in danger because the bad guys were following them. So he shot in the air to warn them but pretended he was stupid and doing something else. "That's that chicken hawk that's been killing all them chickens!" Now that I think of it I don't remember them showing the hawk but I'm still submitting it anyways.....cause I'm a rebel who never obeys the rules!1 point -

Of all the episodes, I think he came closest on " The Duke Scam-Scam" There are one or two others that came pretty close though, so, just my opinion. What do you guys think? Hey! I know! What about the one where they go back to the farm and the crooks are looking for them in their helicopter? Remember?1 point -

Im not sure if this fits better here or in fan art, but, I'm starting a new project. I bought a 1:25 scale 68 Charger at Hobby Lobby. There were, unfortunately, no 69 in stock, with no nearby hobby stores. And buying models online is a gamble that I don't want to risk. I'm going to try my best to turn it into The General! So if any of you have any tips, tricks, or recommend products, I would be very grateful if you could share!1 point -

After a strange qualifying yesterday, it was the Azerbajan Grand Prix today. McLaren could've claimed the Constructors' Championship today, but Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri jumped the start and then fell back to last place. Trying to make up ground, he crashed out on the first lap. Lando Norris also lost a place at the start and another at the restart, but stayed on track. After a record number of red flags yesterday, there were none in the race, and only one safety car for Oscar's crash. Despite a 2km (1.25 mile) straight, overtaking proved tricky due to what are known as DRS trains (several cars in a row within a second of each other with all but the one in front getting reduced drag). Some places swapped at the pit stops, but Lando had a bad stop for the second race in a row. In the end, Max Verstappen had an easy win. Carlos Sainz put up a good fight, but eventually came home third after being overtaken by George Russell. Carlos' third is the first full race podium for the Williams team since 2017. George's team mate Kimi Antonelli was fourth, and Liam Lawson in the RB got past senior team driver Yuki Tsunoda for fifth. Lando eventually finished seventh (where he started), followed by the Ferraris of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. You can see the race highlights here. McLaren will now have a two-week wait until the Singapore Grand Prix to try to take the Constructors' Championship. In the Drivers' Championship, Lando only closed the gap to Oscar by six points.1 point

Last night was the last pro dirt bike races of the year. I watched the first 2 out of 4 but couldn't do the other 2 because I got up at 6 yesterday morning. The races were in Vegas. I'm like Garrett after NASCAR....sad. Or, I will be after watching these last two races I have recorded.1 point -
For once, I'm glad that I wasn't watching the F1 qualifying live. They had a record six red flags and the session that usually lasts about an hour took two hours today. Lewis Hamilton, who thought he might be challenging for pole, failed to make the top 10 and will start in 12th. His team mate, Charles Leclerc, hit the wall in the final session and will start 10th. Not good when practice looked so promising for Ferrari. Championship leader Oscar Piastri also hit the wall and will start ninth. That gave Lando Norris a great chance to start well ahead of his rival, but could only manage seventh as the track got a bit damp. In the end, Max Verstappen took pole, but it was a great session for Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson who start second and third ahead of the two Mercedes drivers. You can watch the highlights here.1 point

Max Verstappen took pole for the Italian Grand Prix with Lando Norris just ahead of team mate Oscar Piastri. The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were next in front of their home crowd, the famous Tifosi, but Lewis had a 5-place grid penalty from the previous race weekend, so started 10th. Max's pole lap was the fastest in F1 history with an average speed of 164.466mph. Sadly for Nico Hulkenberg he was told to retire his Sauber on the way to the grid. At the start, Lando pulled alongside Max at the first corner, and although Max left the corner first, he was told by his team to give Lando the place to avoid a penalty as he'd left the track to keep the position. Charles also passed Oscar, but Oscar soon regained the place. Max also retook the lead on lap 4. Late in the race when McLaren made their pit stops they had a problem with Lando's wheel which dropped him behind Oscar. Much to Max's amusement, Oscar was told to let Lando past. Max went on to take his third win of the year with Lando and Oscar behind. The win also set a record for the fastest F1 race in history at just 1 hour 13 minutes and 24.325 seconds. George Russell was fifth, sandwiched between the Ferraris of Charles and Lewis. Finishing second with his team mate in third, Lando narrowed the gap in the drivers' to 31 points. You can see the race highlights here. The next race is the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku in two weeks.1 point
