The Dukes (and Dukes fans) are sometimes down, but never out!!

Stuffed myself today. Good thing I've lost nearly 8 pounds in the last month cuz I'm pretty sure I put it back on today. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

OOOooooo that should be an interesting and fun race to watch! Hopefully no one gets hurt!

YOU are SO right Ma'am!!

I'm glad you're back! You'll surely be here in the spring for The Moonshine 400! ( It's the craziest road race in Hazzard! They only go 400 laps, not 500, because nobody can stay sober long enough to finish! ( What do you expect Hobie the town drunk + a race called the MOONSHINE 400? You know they're asking for it! LOL! )

yes it's good to see you again....feels like the Good ol' days now!!

Doh! I wonder what happened to you. LOL. I didn't realize how bad or complicated this login thing was. I made the switch over to https YEARS ago, so I'm baffled as to why the login issues just started in the past year. So weird. Glad it's all sorted now though. Welcome back!

An early birthday present I got from a friend...

JACK and the Beanstalk (Read to Rosco by his mama to get him to sleep at night)

So, the USA and England go through to the next round. The USA now play the Netherlands on Saturday, and England play Senegal on Sunday.

Next year in F1, Daniel Ricciardo returns to Red Bull as a reserve/test driver, while his place at McLaren is taken by 2021 Formula 2 champion and current Alpine reserve driver Oscar Piastri. F2 driver Logan Sargeant takes Nicholas Latifi's place at Williams. Nico Hulkenberg returns to F1 to replace Mick Schumacher at Haas. 2021 Formula E World Champion Nyck de Vries joins F1 to replace Pierre Gasly at Alpha Tauri. Gasly moves to Alpine to replace Fernando Alonso, and Alonso moves to Aston Martin to replace Sebastian Vettel. Driver line-ups at Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and Alfa Romeo remain the same as this year. In other news, McLaren Racing boss Zak Brown has called for a change to the current driver qualification system to make it easier for IndyCar drivers to join F1 by employing a similar 'super-licence' system to Formula 2. It was also announced last week that next year's Chinese Grand Prix has been cancelled due to the country's Covid policies.

Hmmm, that gives me an idea. You could still come to the race but you can be the one who shoots the starter gun and waves the checkered flag. Except....we've never really used the checkered flag. Nobody has ever finished all four laps so if you left right after the race started you won't have to witness all the carnage. If you are on probation and can't shoot a starter gun, I'm sure Bo or Luke will lend you a bow and dynamite arrow.

The list certainly has quite a few questionable entries. What I found weird is that the picture they used for #23 is a publicity shot of Joaquin Phoenix as The Bandit from the re-make 'Smokey and the Bandit Rides Again' which was originally due for release in 2020. As far as I can see, this reboot has disappeared without trace.

Oh I love racing...just not of milk or people getting sick. LOL.

I think I may have figured out the solution to the login problem. It had to do with not updating instances of http to https. I think I've resolved the problem. Please let me know if you still encounter issues. -Mufn

But I thought you were a big racing fan. You are right though, it's not that fun. Unless you are only a spectator....then it's a blast.

Sorry to say, Roger, but that doesn't sound too fun. HA!

oh definitely! Of course my close Hazzardite friends will get in free!

It is definitely more fun than the Buttermilk 4.00 where you have to chug a quart of buttermilk and run around the barn 4 times without barfing. Nobody has made it all 4 laps yet but whoever gets the farthest wins. Hobie won it last year with a personal best of 2.75 laps.

well my weight is almost as bad as it was.....!! BUT....I AM a millionaire!

That was the best when they came back! You are too kind!

It does sound fun...:)

Thinking the same thing. It really reminds me of how good it felt when Bo and Luke came home.

Hobie's feelings get hurt when I beat him every year but other than that it's a lot of fun.

So true!

I recently bought BeamNG.drive and have been playing around with it. I found out they have a General Lee mod. There's no Charger in the game, so it's basically just General Lee livery on a somewhat similar car body. Crashing is extremely fun in the game because of physics. So, I figured maybe Rosco would take the General Lee out for a little run. I recorded it and made a short video of it. Added a few sound clips from the show at the end too. I hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsLKta98Svo

Thank you Roger. It's great to be back.

Thank you Meadomufn. It was kinda frustrating...I tried signing up as a new member and even that didn't work out. I was excited when I saw this thread this afternoon and went and checked it out and it worked! It's worth the wait. I am glad you got it figured out...thank you for not giving up! Thanks again.

I don't have any NASCAR news...y'all seem to have it covered. I was going to stop by with some, but have been having a hard time logging back in until now. I guess that's what I get for being gone for so long. If life wasn't so busy and I didn't have to work and everything else...I'd have time for Dukes and the computer. Just thought I'd send out a hello to everyone. I'm still here. Just busy. Especially now that I am going back to school and taking online college classes for work...and before then I didn't have a computer so that made coming on here difficult as well. So...howdy y'all. There is just 90 days, 5 hours, and 25 minutes until the Daytona 500. Not that I am counting or anything...GO CHASE ELLIOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay I've finally able to log in! Too bad NASCAR is over now. HA!

I'm playing around with some of the settings and did some pretty hilarious stuff tonight. Hopefully, I'll have a few more videos out this week. Depends on how much time I have.

I've never looked into it before, so it's news to me. According to his IMDb page, his role as stunt coordinator on 'The Godfather' was uncredited. He was also stunt coordinator on other movies I like such as 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World', 'Coogan's Bluff' and 'Diamonds Are Forever'. I guess I can dig it, man!

Cuzin Philip Duke... Christmas Cars?

Christmas is coming up. Looks like a great regift for your old pal Roger Duke. Do you know what year it was made? What company made it? I can't quite make it out. Sweet collectible!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (The sound of Flash snoring)

That brings us to yesterday and the Brazilian Grand Prix from Interlagos. For many years, this was the last race of the season, but money has now taken that to the Middle East. It's also one of my favorite tracks, and didn't disappoint this year. For the third time this year, the starting grid was determined by a sprint race. Haas driver Kevin Magnussen took a surprise pole for that, but could only finish eighth. It was the resurgent Mercedes team that took first and third, split only by Carlos Sainz Jr who had a 5-place grid penalty in the race for taking a new engine. In the main race, Daniel Ricciardo clipped Kevin Magnussen on the first lap, and the resulting crash ended both of thir races and brought out the safety car. A couple of corners into the restart, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen came together, leading to front wing damage and a 5-second penalty for Verstappen. Red Bull managed to change his tires and front wing in 10.0 seconds. Hamilton fought back up the field to finish second, but yesterday belonged to George Russell who took his first F1 victory and fastest lap. Sergio Perez, under team orders, let Max Verstappen by near the end to try and take the cars in front. When that didn't happen, Verstappen then refused to let Perez back past leaving Perez tied with Charles Leclerc for second in the championship with only one race left. With no Brazilian drivers in the field, the local crowd seem to have adopted the Mercedes team and particularly Lewis Hamilton as their favorites, so the one-two finish was very popular. The race highlights are here. Next week is the season finale from Abu Dhabi.

A week later, F1 moved to Mexico. Even at altitude, it proved to be another easy win for Max Verstappen. In taking victory, he also set the record for the most wins in a season with 14 (out of 20 at that time), although there are more races than there used to be. Mercedes kept up their newly re-found form with Lewis Hamilton finishing second again (albeit 15 seconds behind Verstappen) and George Russell in fourth. They were separated by Verstappen's team mate, Sergio Perez. Highlights of the Mexican race are here.

It looks like the entire eastern US is going to be getting soaked. I hope the boys put the General in the barn since they can't roll up the windows.

Don't take him seriously. They are upside down in Australia and all the blood rushes to their heads and every bad thing they say about the Dukes is the exact opposite of reality. If you buy one of those books that translates the Australian language to the language of reality, you will see that what he actually said was that The Dukes of Hazzard is the greatest television program ever made. It's nice to hear Bo and Luke have fans down under.

Late October 1977, - Balladeer "Well since moonshine season is just about over with, Uncle Jesse and the boys decided to make one last liquor run" Early in the morning just before dawn. The boys headed into to town to grab 100 pounds of sugar. Uncle Jesse stayed back at the farm to finish grinding up some malted corn he had sprouted a week prior. - Bo "Turns his head to speak to Luke while riding shotgun in the truck and says, Well Luke you reckon we ought to bring Cooter in on this run?" - Luke "I know what you mean cousin, something just ain't feelin right about this run, things around Hazzard have just been to calm lately." After grabbing the sugar. Bo and Luke head over to the garage and meet up with Cooter - Cooter "What cha say lead foot, how's it going Farrah Fawcett" -Luke "Hey Coot, we gotta ask ya something. How'd you feel about helping us out with this run. Something just ain't feeling right and we could use another set of eyes............................................

Cuzin MoonRunner-01... Have you seen Tom Wopat's movie Meteorites? I got that one too from the YouTube.

I was born and raised in Southern England, and now live in Southern Ireland, but somehow I don't think I can claim that that's the same thing.

It looks good. It reminds me of the special edition 1:18 diecast cars that were made in black but had all the regular decals.

Decided to sticker up the gray body. I love how this looks!

I was born in Southern California (does that count? LOL), but my mom's from Arkansas and we visited a lot of relatives in the South growing up. Dad grew up in the country, just outside of San Diego. Both mom and dad's family often ate whatever they could shoot. To this day, my mom HATES rabbit because they ate it so much and she just never cared for it.

The advantage of designing in vectors is that the designs can be blown up to whatever size you like without any loss of quality. The industry standard vector editing software is Adobe Illustrator. I've tried it once or twice many years ago, but never got on with it. My designs were done in CorelDraw, which can normally be picked up at a good price (maybe for the previous version). If you're looking for free software, TechRadar published a recent list here. The only one I've tried is Inkscape, and that's probably changed a bit from when I last used it.

WOW! Those are nice! Thanks for sharing them!! ( They look real!!)
