Loretta Lynn

I'm a bit late this week... F1 was back at the weekend after its summer break with the last Dutch Grand Prix for the foreseeable future. Local hero Max Verstappen chose this race to announce that he's staying with Red Bull for a few more years, but the contract to host the event ends this year. Aston Martin finally seem to be making a bit of progress after major upgrades at this and the previous race. However, US based teams Haas and Cadillac appear to be slipping backwards with the latter replacing their team principal during the break. Red Bull's Isack Hadjar injured his wrist during the break meaning he had to miss the race. Liam Lawson got a temporary promotion from Red Bull's second team Racing Bulls, and his place was taken by Yuki Tsunoda. Mercedes driver George Russell took pole for the sprint race and converted it to a win in what turned out to be a fairly processional race with little overtaking. George could only manage second place on the grid for the main race with McLaren's Lando Norris taking pole in a car that he didn't rate as fast enough. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli started third ahead of the McLaren of Oscar Piastri and the Ferraris of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Max could only manage seventh in his Red Bull. Sadly, Max's last home grand prix finished at the end of the first lap when he was caught out by a slightly damp track at hit the wall hard off the last bend. This resulted in a lengthy red flag. Kimi made up one place at the first start and took the lead after the second. Oscar also made a good second start, but then got passed by both Ferraris. Once Lando retook the lead he converted it to another win with Kimi and George behind. Lewis had to settle for fourth although he may have got third if his team had let him pass his team mate a few laps earlier. Liam Lawson got seventh in his stand-in drive and Fernando Alonso tripled his points total by finishing ninth. You can see the highlights here. Kimi has now extended his lead and George is back in second, although he has the same number of points as Lewis. The next race is in just over a week with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

The world lost a legend. My favorite Dolly song is Islands in the Stream. I always liked her but never was a superfan. And of course she has a Hazzard connection with her sister Stella appearing on the show.

coal mines (Like they have in Hazard Kentucky)

I had to look up who he was.

He likes his cars. He also once held the record for the fastest Star in a Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear.

maybe I should've put this in the NASCAR section....He's got his own set up....Brian Johnson Racing!

LOOK AT WHO I FOUND HANGING OUT WITH THE GENERAL LEE!! ( Who would've guessed?)

I put 2026 Mercury retrograde windows on a calendar and treat them as edit-weeks: backup files, reread emails, do not launch a new stack. Not doom. Just fewer new logins. Dates I copied are here: https://relaksnet.blogspot.com/2026/06/mercury-retrograde-2026-dates-meaning.html

KENTUCKY ( right above Tn. AND THE home of whiskey!) Bourbon isn't considered REAL Bourbon, unless it's made in Kentucky!, kind of like Champagne isn't really Champagne, unless it's made in France!

No Cooter didn't have the chance! Trump was in there from the Get-go! I didn't watch all of it but came back and watched parts of it as it happened!

Sad news y'all. Dolly Parton died today August 25, 2026. 😢

News is just breaking that Country legend Dolly Parton has died at the ago of 80. Above is the song with which I started this thread.

You watched the whole thing? Did Cooter steal Limo One again?

Tennessee

Which of these was on the show General Lee or General Grant?

Dukes Trivia: What is the name of the first and last episode of each season?

Boars Nest

Dukes Trivia: What is the name of Boss Hogg's "Big green battle wagon" as Vance Duke calls it?

It seemed to last all day.....probably seemed longer because it wasn't your average road race. Trump went around the course in his limo.
