It was the third race in the F1 triple-header today with the Spanish Grand Prix. The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris locked out the front row of the grid ahead of Max Verstappen, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. Lance Stroll apparently had a pain in his wrist related to a cycling accident a couple of years ago, although there were also reports of him losing his temper in the pits after qualifying. Either way, he didn't start the race, so there were only 19 cars on grid (I'm not sure why his Aston Martin team couldn't use a reserve driver). Oscar had a good getaway at the start, but Max managed to jump Lando. Lewis also passed George. Lando got back ahead of Max on lap 13. The Barcelona circuit is known for tire wear, and Red Bull put Max on a 3-stop strategy when most teams were planning on a 2-stop. Max was looking certain for third place until Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes engine gave out with just over 10 laps to go bringing out the safety car. All of the front runners went to the pits to change tires, but Max only had a set of the slower hard tires available. At the restart, Max's car nearly went sideways, allowing Charles Leclerc to pass. Max then went off-track as George tried to pass, but came out ahead. His team told Max to give the place back to George. Max wasn't happy about the instruction and appeared to deliberately hit George when it looked like he was letting him through. That earned Max a 10-second penalty and three points on his licence (he's now only one point away from a one race ban!). At the end, it was McLaren first and second with Oscar ahead of Lando. Charles got his second podium in a row with George in fourth. Nico Hulkenberg in his Kick Sauber surprised a lot of people by passing Lewis near the end to finish fifth. Max actually crossed the line in fifth, but his penalty pushed him back to 10th. In ninth, former World Champion Fernando Alonso was cheered by his home crowd as he scored his first points of the season. You can see the highlights here. Oscar is now 10 points ahead of Lando in the drivers' championship. In the constructors championship, McLaren have over double the points of their nearest rivals, Ferrari, who in-turn moved ahead of Mercedes today. It's two weeks until the next race in Canada.

Season 5 Coy Meets Girl. Coy and Vance with Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco in hot pursuit. They're driving through national guard military war maneuvers, artillery shell fire. Rosco:"I knew those Duke Boys were tuff, but I didn't think they'd go this far!" 😂 Rosco drives in a hole. 😂 Boss:"Look what you done! We went in the hole!" 😂 Rosco gets out. Boss can't get his own door open. It's stuck. Rosco walks over the hood to the passenger side to the back door to get Flash. Boss:"I can't get my door open! It's stuck! Not that many mutt! Save me! I'm your leader ain't I!?" 😂 Artillery fire continues around them. They find another hole to hide in. Boss:"Rosco, so help you, if that car gets hit, you're gonna pay for it!" (KABOOM) They duck down. The car was hit. Rosco:"That must've been one of those 55 Pack Hausers! Done scuffed my vehicle beyond repair! Do you think I can make time payments?" 😂 Boss:"You should only live that long!" 😂 Uncle Jesse shows up in his White Ford F Series truck. Rosco:"There's Jesse!" Boss:"Oh Jesse!" Jesse:"You boys better get in here, before you're blown into the next 4TH of July!" 😂

Did you know? Byron Cherry, the talented actor who played Coy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard, had an interesting background before joining the show. Not only was he a bartender, but he also worked as a male flight attendant! What's even more fascinating is that Byron initially auditioned for the role of Bo Duke in 1978, but due to his busy schedule, he couldn't pursue it further. The part eventually went to John Schneider, who would become iconic as Bo Duke. However, fate had other plans. When Tom Wopat (Luke) and John Schneider (Bo) temporarily left the show, John Schneider himself recommended Byron Cherry for the role of Coy Duke to Warner Brothers! Talk about a full circle moment! Let's appreciate Byron Cherry's multifaceted career and his contribution to the Duke family legacy! #DukesOfHazzard #ByronCherry #CoyDuke

I'm thinking Golden Retriever!!

That's a pretty good pic of Bo!

I've finally finished a version of Puppy Bo that I somewhat like and feel good sharing. I decided to try something different with my art with this piece and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet.. but more will be coming when I figure out how to properly draw his face

County (door county is in Wisconsin the “thumb” of the state)

It appears in the dialogue too. In 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine', Vance says "See if you can get up broadside, close as you can." and Coy replies "Aye, aye, skipper." Skipper Ward Surplus was a nod to Skip Ward who was associate producer/producer/supervising producer on 116 episodes (I'm sure I've mentioned this before).

I never saw any INDIANS on TDOH. * * I mean REAL Indians.....India, Pakistan etc.....NOT " American Indians", because there's no such thing. They were ASIANS who crossed the Bering Strait a few hundred yrs. before Columbus supposedly discovered America. The Bering Straight , was an ice bridge that connected Asia to the North American continent, which has long been gone! Actually, white European Vikings were there hundreds of yrs. before the Asians crossed the Bering Strait! How did they get to be known as " Indians" ?? ( I'm glad you asked! ) Columbus, who was a DA ( and I don't mean District Attorney!) thought he had landed in India! THERE ARE NO NATIVE AMERICAN PERSONNEL! ( and when someone gives you the line that, " Well the "Indians" were here first," you'll know they believe the brainwashed politically correct pablum vomited out by the REAL rulers of America. ....ok....I'm off my soap box now but just thought you guys might like to know a dumb southern hick knows a little bit....HA! HA! BACK TO THE FUN!!! "J " please...............

Well things are slow here but obviously not there! LOL! What with TWO grandkids at the same time! That'll keep you hoppin'!

Season 7 Happy Birthday General Lee. Rosco chases the Dukes in the end. After the flashbacks are over and it's back to present day. Luke:(To Bo. About Rosco.)"He might drive better. But he ain't no smarter." 😂

Hey friends! 🤩 Did you know that Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) and Christopher Mayer (Vance Duke) were high school football stars before becoming Dukes? 🏈👍 It's awesome to see their athletic side! 💪 #TheDukesOfHazzard #CoyDuke #VanceDuke #Football

Did you know that Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) and Christopher Mayer (Vance Duke) were huge fans of The Dukes of Hazzard before joining the show? 🤯 They'd tune in every Friday night to watch the adventures of Bo, Luke, and Daisy! 😄 Season 5, here they come! 🚗💨 #TheDukesOfHazzard #CoyDuke #VanceDuke

That question is so tough that it doesn't seem fair. The answer is Skipper Ward Surplus. It was a store from season 4.

I know how you feel. Things have been slow lately. I have 2 grandkids spending the night so am a bit busy tonight.

Me too. Petticord looks like he's past his prime.
