Hobie Hartkins

You've never really seen me drive, when I'm lit ,hot shot!  Once Emma sees me feeding you my dust, she'll be all over me!!    ( actually I'm hoping to catch Daisy's attention!!  LOL!   )......You better bring your big boy pants and every horsepower you can muster.......I've got  special fuel designed to make my engine run faster than anybody's!!     

This is going to be a good year for the MS400!!   

probably so.....We serve tea hot but mostly cold.  I couldn't tell you the last time I had hot tea.

This was great! I think Hobie, Cooter and a few other characters ( us!  )  in Hazzard need to work on building a highway straight from you ( Hoss) , to us!   It was funny when he talked about the "Knobs". You guys have neat ways of expressing things!  The highway can even be part of next years Moonshine Run!  Do you guys have Moon over there? What's it called?

I don't know if this is allowed or not because it's not known by anybody, but,....... 
Spiral notebook
I write notes from the books I read and I read over the notebooks every day  ( so I remember what I read)  and right now I'm reading in my purple notebook ( I have ones with green, blue and black covers too) 

Here's a short video with Stephen Fry explaining what he thinks are the differences British and American comedy. They're certainly very different, but both can be very funny. Watching the "Americans React" videos has shown me how few British comedies most American have seen and how it takes a while to get used to the different tone before they get into them and appreciate them. I hope I'm encouraging some of you to look at shows from outside the US.

You have just sealed your doom Hobie. Even thinking about kissing my woman is a kiss of death for you and your stupid car. I have something special for you. By the time me and Elon are done modifying the dirt bike it's going to be more dangerous than the mean green machine. 
Emma's honor needs defended and I'm just the man to do it. Enjoy your last place trophy. 

HA!! We don't care about Elon or  whatever kind of rich boy you got on your side!  We're gonna mop the road with you AND then...I'M gonna give Emma a kiss on the forehead......! Right in front of you!

An excellent suggestion by cousin Roger, was to start a new thread for the annual race this year!  I thought...YES! That's an excellent suggestion! I'm going to smoke cousin Roger! No matter what he says! I've invented a new engine for the Moonshine mauler! It uses gas or shine equally well! I'll be communing with the spirits, while running the  race   and if I start running low on gas, instead  of a pit stop, I'll save/make time, by pouring shine into the tank without having to hit pit road.  You guys don't stand a chance! I'll have the most powerful engine and not have to make pit stops either! I'd like to see Garrett beat me this year!! Ha!!  He better get a move on! I'm also going to use a special kind of shine that gives a racing engine extra kick!  I'm going to watch that episode where Jesse uses Shine to beat a female revenuer......help me out brethren....what episode/year is that....you know name, episode, year etc.??? I'm lost! .....Cut me some slack....I lack to never found my way off the track last week while I was practicing!!    ....so I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer! 

Yes....I've started a  thread......where are you cousin Roger?  Are you planning some  Dirty Double Dealings out there on the  road?? I'm prepared for 3D !! ( Dirty Double Dealings) ....LOL!!

You should start a new thread titled 2026 Moonshine 400. 
Let the trash talking begin. I have a lot to say about how I am going to leave you in my dust. 

Right now I'm watching the Reds and the Cubs.....gotta go with the Cubs...I'm old school.....Better Dead then Red!!
I'm going to watch DOH here in a bit and then go to bed and watch it there like I always do! I'm on season 7 right now.....what season is everybody else on? I usually watch DOH at night,  in bed,  before sleep. What are your watching habits?
I'm jumping between this game and the Brewers,,....naturally they're ( The Brewers)  one of my favorite teams....lol!   

None of that stuff will help ya! I'm working on a new engine for the Mauler......it can run on gas or Shine!  That way if I start to run low, i'll  just share what I'm drinking with the engine.....and we'll ( me and my engine/car  ) be the first ones across the finish line!   

you better watch it cousin Roger.....those types like Elon are famous for stealing away fickle young girls like Emma!      

Besides all that, I refuse to pay the crazy prices for computer phones etc. There are only a handful of occupations, where you actually NEED a computer phone, so the rest is called " Just wait until you get home to look it up". People pay exhorbitant prices to be hip, cool, with the " In " crowd etc. I will not!

Yep And you aren't going to believe what I have planned. You will never guess. 
Okay, I can't wait. I have to say it. I'll be on Emma's postal dirt bike but she is going to be operating it remotely on top of Iron Mountain where she can see the entire race. Ain't no way anybody can beat me and her when we team up. 
I have to give you credit Hobie with your buttermilk comment. I thought it would be fun to have a buttermilk in each hand so you inspired me by saying I was racing with one hand. I'm taking this to the next level. 
You might have noticed I've been delivering the mail in my truck lately. That's because Emma has been at Elon Musk's house these past couple days and they are working on the bike. I have to admit I am a little concerned. She is quite a catch. I hope he doesn't get any ideas and try to steal her from me. 

well cousin, we hope you're having fun, wherever you are on the holiday! Fun is what it's all about on Dukes Of Hazzard Day! If you get back anytime soon, stop in and say  " HEY! "  We'll all be down at the Boar's Nest doing what you imagine we'd be doing!!  

MOONSHINE 400!!
 
Hey guys! The   2nd Annual  Moonshine 400 snuck up on us! ( on me??  )  We're now in the 1st week of may....( 5/4/25 was the 1st annual !!)  and so I figure instead of having it tomorrow on the second,  we could spend this week preparing for it and all the things we need to do, watch out for etc. and then NEXT Sat, on May 9th, we can have the official 2nd Annual  Moonshine 400! Then we can all meet at the Boar's Nest and congratulate the winner and console the losers....with my special  " Back 40 Moon" and cousin Roger's Boar's Nest Buttermilk!
