Garrett Duke

LOL This Roger Duke guy is weird. Who cares about the price of used cats?

How is this written out Did I get the shenanigans right for the Duke boys?
Cletus Saw them and said “All right let’s go” Ponch smiled at Cletus, and Jon asked, “What for?” Cletus said, “Questions later now git!” All three of them walked towards the county jail.  “You ok cousin?” asked Jon, noticing his partner  “Yeah it's my ribs,” said Ponch. Can he put his right arm down? He broke his ribs a few months ago” Jon said to Deputy Cletus. “Uh, Jon you mean most of my bones.” Ponch retorted as they walked into the station's booking area where Bo and Luke were paying their “Speeding” ticket that Rosco gleefully gave them. Suddenly Ponch roars out of pain, and everybody freezes Cletus takes 2 steps towards Ponch, and then Jon pushes Cletus away from Ponch Rosco takes a step towards Jon Bo grabs some firecrackers over to Luke who lit two of them and throws them on the floor near the empty holding cell. Bo helps Jon get Ponch to his feet and runs to the door. ponch grabs the baton and places it in the handles of the first double doors and all 4 come running out the door and split up Jon and Bo in Jon's truck, and Luke and Ponch in General Lee. Bo said “Hi, Cooter” “Hey Cooter, the usual OK,” said Luke “OK Luke,” Cooter said with a smile knowing what he was going to find there.  

Brother in laws car was ransacked up in Michigan in the yard that it was towed to after the accident. His insurance had it towed to their lot here in Ohio and he went to get some personal items Monday and everything in the interior is gone except registration and the manual. Luckily they didn't grab mother in laws scooter out of the trunk. They even took the gas door  probably even stole the gas out of the car. I think insurance will get his car fixed as the damage is just the doors and b pillar. 

I'm 58, have cholesterol medicine, high blood pressure medicine , etc. I'm a victim of my genetics!

Well, at least there was one kid in that class who was raised right. I had it growing up too and still like it but never buy it. Right now I'm trying to eat right because I am borderline for needing cholesterol and blood pressure meds. I'm getting ready to turn 64 and am happy that I am on no meds and want to keep it that way. 

What a week. Temp's in my wife's building were a bunch of no shows no calls so guess who got volunteered to go back there the whole week, to top it off my boss told clients we could get orders out ASAP, that didn't go so well since I was working in the other building. My coworkers managed to get one order done and shipped. 
Wednesday my brother in law decided to take his mom on a day trip up to Ann Arbor and ended up getting T-boned by a red light running college kid. But of course he left the dashcam at home and no witnesses stuck around to tell the police so his word against theirs. Anyways had to drive all the way up there to pick them up at the hospital and take them home back here in Ohio. Didn't get home that night till 10:30 and went to bed without dinner. 
Have a good Easter everyone.

Roy looks excitedly over at Garrett and says, "See?" Before pressing the button on the CB and turns serious, "Oh hi," he stutters, "is this one of the Dukes?" 
"No sir," the voice confidently responds on the other end, "this here is Bill. I'm hoping you two got some great news for us. We can sure use it right now."
Roy looks nervously at Garrett. "Bill. As in Bill Elliott?!" Roy yells into the CB and Garrett rolls his eyes at Roy and grabs the CB out of his hand.
"Bill. This is Garrett," he finally responds into the CB, "I apologize for Roy. Seems the cat got his tongue," he rolls his eyes at Roy. "We don't have much news, but we do know where the marshmallow and his dummy are located right now. Where are you located at?"
The line goes quiet for a long moment before Bill comes back with a location. "Luke says we can use anything at this point," Bill slowly finishes.
"We are on our way," Garrett responds as he places the CB back down on the dashboard. "Leave it to you to get star struck when his career is on the line. You do realize that Elliott's NASCAR career is as good as over if the press get a hold of this?"
Roy shrugs. "Well I find it backwards that you may be spending the next twenty years in jail in Atlanta and you're worried about some NASCAR driver's career," Roy spits back at him, "I mean, does Bill even think about that and what you are facing if and when the law catches up with you?"
Garrett shrugs it off. "At least I'll be back in Atlanta. Maybe I'll thank him if I get caught," Garrett offers an ornery smile, "besides it's not about me. You'd rather the law get away with their crookedness? Bill worked his whole life to get where he is only for Boss and his greediness to ruin it. Atlanta prison will be worth it."
Roy shakes his head. "If you say so. You better be right as I'm sure I'll be going down with you," Roy dryly responds as they pull up behind The General Lee and Jesse's white truck. Garrett is quick to hop out of the truck to join Bill and Roy slowly follows up to them. "Howdy ho," Roy grins at everyone in a greeting.
Seeing everyone looking at them in anticipation, Garrett quickly gets to the point, "I had Roy follow the sheriff's car at a distance. He went down to those caves that Hogg hides out at. So I am assuming Hogg is there and he is meeting up with him there. Roy here was too chicken to follow him there to find out." Garrett gives a dark grin as he elbows Roy who only shakes his head and steps away. "Sorry we don't have much news other than that. They were wanting to arrest me when y'all didn't show up at the Boars Nest as we all thought you were and I had to make a quick get a way."
"Who's the chicken now?" Roy throws back at him.
"No. It's smart not to follow them to the caves. You'd be in jail for sure right now," Jesse firmly states, not wanting to deal with Garrett's attitude. "Where that leave us now, Luke?"

Bo sighed "Well, what the heck are we supposed to do next?" 
Jesse spoke "In a situation like this the first thing you do is consider your options." 
Bill was skeptical and the tone of his voice displayed it "Options? We have no options. My career is over. There ain't no way I'm surviving a scandal like this. It don't matter how innocent I am." 
It was Luke's turn "The way I see it we have 4 options. We sure can't go back to town or even the farm. Boss and his flunkies will be watching them like chicken hawks. But we gotta find a way to prove Boss is running a scam and expose the whole thing before the national press gets ahold if it." 
Ernie look confused "That don't help much Luke. But you would clear things up a little if you would tell us the 4 options." 
Luke responded quickly "4 people who are out there and can help us, Daisy, Cooter, Garrett and Roy." 
Bill looked a little hopeful. I don't know about the other 3 but Roy is pretty good in these situations. It sure would be nice to see him right now." 
And right on cue the CB started squaking. Luke laughed "Would you settle for hearing him?" 
Bill smiled and then picked it up and responded "Perfect timing Roy! What's going on out there?" 

Staring at the bumper of the sheriff's car that lies a mile or so ahead of them, Garrett quietly tries to think of what they are doing by following the sheriff. How are they to follow him without being caught? Especially in Roy's old beat up ugly truck. What will they do when they find out where Sheriff Coltrane is going? "Dang it Roy," Garrett breaks through the silence of the truck, "this is the dumbest idea you've ever had. I mean, what made you think of following the sheriff? What you gonna do when he stops?"
Roy look crazily over at Garrett before looking back at the road. "The dumbest idea I've had? What was I thinking?" Roy  raises his voice, "My golden memory recalls all this being your bright idea, hotshot. The only dumb thing I did, was to listen to you and to do as you told me to do."
"I know, I know," Garrett rolls his hard eyes at him, "it just sounds better saying it was your idea. Not mine." Garrett goes silent as he lights another cigarette, "What are we going to do when we find out where the sheriff is going? How are we going to find Bill and Ernie?"
Roy shrugs behind the wheel as he waves his hand to wave off smoke. "I don't know. You tell me, boy genius. It all was your idea,"  he states, "though I do know, that I told you not to light those dumb things in my truck. They're horrible."
Garrett eyes him hardly before sucking it on it once again before smashing it out and taking care of it. "I didn't realize you were so sensitive," Garrett rudely responds before falling silent once more.
"Well...it is my truck," Roy disputes, "and I am doing you a huge favor by rescuing you from your hiding place and following your bright idea to stalk the sheriff. I guess I always did look good in jail house orange."
Garrett shakes his head before his attention is grabbed by the sheriff turning off the road and onto a lesser-known back road and he quickly sits up in his seat. "OK now we are getting somewhere, Roy!" he points at Rosco, "That there road leads to a dead end and to those caves. I think I heard your buddies talk about that being Hogg's hiding place!"
"Ah! Maybe that's where Bill and Ernie are at!" Roy naively states.
"Ernie and Bill disappeared with Bo and Luke," Garrett states, "why would they take him to Hogg's hiding place?" he shakes his head.
"I don't know. I don't know anything at this point," Roy answers. "What you want me to do now?"
"We can't follow him. We'd be made for sure," Garrett responds, "Just keep going. They're probably going to have some pow wow of what they want to do now that they can't find Bill and Ernie."
"Hmmm. Too bad we can't listen in to that conversation," Roy states before going quiet and turns to Garrett, 
"you'd earn top respect from your brother for that kind of information." 
Garrett stares at him. "I don't care for his respect or anyone's. I've already spent a night in jail over all of this. No way am I spying in on their crooked law...who already hate me enough as it is," Garrett states, "but we do know where they are at for the moment. Maybe they'd care to know that."
"But how you plan on doing that? In case you forgot," Roy pauses, "your family kidnapped Bill and Ernie and are no where to be found. You'd think they'd let you in on their surprise of not showing up at the Boar's Nest as it was planned."
Garrett grunts. "They don't care," he states watching the trees go by his window, "I am sure they are hiding at one of their hiding places and talking about their own plans to get Bill and Ernie out of this mess."
Roy nods quietly before leaning over and grabbing the CB handle from the dash of his truck.
"What are you doing?" Garrett questions.
"What we should have done from the get-go instead of listening to you," Roy rolls his eyes at Garrett and switches the channel and then pushing the button on the side of the black CB handle, Roy says, "This is Roy Silas. Anyone out there on the Duke net?"
Garrett eyes him as he places the handle down and Roy grins at him. "Now we wait," Roy responds as he turns onto another road and Garrett looks out his window and they await to see if they get a reply in silence. 
 

Well y'all car 24 was back in Victory Lane after today's COTA road race. Too bad Jeff Gordon wasn't driving it. He use to be known as the road race king as he was good at them. But so is William Byron, who now drives the 24 car for Hendrick. Still great to see 24 car in Victory Lane. (Though I was hoping for the 9 car. Elliott needs to figure something out...LOL)

Thanks for the update Garrett. We had grandkids all weekend so hadn't seen any results yet.

a BIG +1 !!  ( It's getting to where I'm afraid to get my Moonshine Machine out of the garage!)  

I heard that tires were an issue at Bristol. Which is frustrating for everyone and it affects the driver's season and points. As someone pointed out that I saw...what if this were a Chase race or an elimination race and it all came down to tires? I really miss the old way of racing where it was about talent and the drivers and teams. I feel NASCAR has to put it's hands on everything now to take away from the driving and the mechanics...the Chase and the segments for example. Let it be about the racing as it use to be...

It is a bit surprising that they never had a Boss Hogg niece with one of the Duke boys falling for her. Maybe they thought about it but since they did Daisy falling for a Hogg didn't want to do it.

Thanks, for Boss Hogg’s family tree
