Hey guys! I'm watching it NOW!!
 
 
 

OK my fellow Hazzardites.....I may or may not be on later but  I'm still having trouble with my  computer and I'm taking it in tomorrow, so I won't be here for a while....not even for  DOHD!!   Hopefully I'll get it repaired  soon and I'll be back!   
 
* You guys make sure you celebrate DOHD and maybe even celebrate it here! Raise a glass of Buttermilk, on the rocks ..." For Hobie!"  I know I'll be celebrating.....maybe nort with buttermilk....but.......

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. 

STATE route 36 ran through town 

Bo and Luke gave  REDNECKS a better name!

Welcome to the HazzardNet Rafa. We are excited to have you here and look forward to hearing more from you!

That looks good!

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.
 

Howdy y’all, so I just got gifted a nice acoustic guitar in great shape, music/guitar stand, books, picks, tuner gadget, etc
I want to learn but I wonder if anyone here has any advice or experience on learning guitar.
I would love to teach myself how to play Good Ol Boys or General Lee by Johnny Cash. Or Momma’s don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. 
 
Let me know y’all! 

......and has a high QUANTITY of customers so makes them take a number.

That white stuff is called snow Hobie.

It's a card that comes out weekly and has the teams on it and you take your picks and turn it in to a Bookie and if you don't guess right you pay and if you do, you collect!

And some of them even mention NASCAR!

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!  

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 .

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