Lesson learned: Don't ever EVER buy a vehicle from family!!! Because they will never let you forget the deal they gave you. If it was my decision I would put a for sale sign in it tomorrow but it's the wife's car so it's up to her.

second (I knew a guy like that. You could ask him what the first, second, third or fourth Sunday was of any month of any year and he always got the number right. Sometimes he got it quick and sometimes it took a few seconds. We tested him a lot because he loved doing it and he never missed. He only did Sundays though. He was in his mid 20s at the time and was about at a 5 year old level with intelligence. It was amazing to witness!)

Cousin.... ( specifically MY cousin) He was born blind and retarded because the doctor used forceps on his head. He is a savant however. He is 56 and believes in Santa Claus but he can tell you what day any date is on! This year, last year or next year! He can also tell you how many Friday 13ths we will have. He told me this year we will have only one more! It will be in October! I haven't looked it up but he's always right!

Sorry to hear this, Skipper. I hope Gary's family is doing well despite the situation.

I'm still lurking around here, Hobie. We had an ice storm yesterday and managed to get through it without losing power. Last time we had an ice storm, we lost power for 3 days. Stay safe and warm, everybody. Wishing you peace and joy this Christmas, my cousins. And a Happy New Year!

South LOL Hobie. I'm all for my Diet Pepsi and eleven is late for me, though do normally see it during the weekends myself. But only because I'm too tired to go to bed. HA. You really are hard core!

On the happy side, I'm pumped about pro dirt bike racing this year. Another big race tomorrow (Sat) night. They have a new system this year called Supermotocross because they wanted playoffs like every other sport has. You get points for Supercross, which is racing in stadiums. You get points for Motocross, which is racing outdoors. And then they have a 3 race playoff for everybody who has accumulated enough points in both to qualify. I hope Emma Tisdale makes the playoffs! Let 'er rip! You know how they hang a stick in front of a horse to get it to walk? They should fly a drone in front of her with a picture of Jesse on it.

Maybe she should quit and reapply? LOL. That is so frustrating! This whole country is getting out of hand. I applied for help and got denied for the same reasons...supposedly I make too much money. Yet they help people who don't work...with my money. This whole country is running backwards. Sooooo frustrating! I'm sorry you both are going through that...to work that long and get paid the same, is just not right. Common sense is sparse these days... Too bad we aren't back in Hazzard County...where they like happy endings!

That's like my cousin...about 5 in the head but 56 with a moustache. in the body. He's got a heart of gold. If everyone was just like him ( ignoring the fact that society couldn't function) everybody would want to live forever! Leave your doors unlocked. No problem. Don't worry about your wife or kids....no problem. He is tender and innocent and good as gold!

I agree Hobie but what really impresses me is anybody who loves Hazzard County enough to do this. Of course it's the greatest show in the history of television so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised!

I love Days Of Shine And Roses. This evening my wife and I had some adult beverages as we do every Friday. No Dukes but we listened to some music.

There's just something ( magical?) about watching TDOH on a Friday night! Maybe because that's when it used to air ?? ( It just wouldn't be the same .......The Dukes of Hazzard Tuesday night at 7:00 Central! Right now I'm watching Days of Shine and Roses!

I am so envious! THIS IS A FABULOUS CAR!!! ( I don't even dream this big! )

Georgia episodes are all two thumbs up. I wish I had more thumbs.

It’s Friday night again...this time it’s Friday the 13th! But, watching “Dukes” on my 70s couch in the basement family room, covered up with my “Dukes” blanket, with all my “Dukes” memorabilia displayed, and enjoying an adult beverage myself—little “German soda”! Now...if only Daisy could bring it to me... Anyway, pinning a little tail on the Dukes as I sip!

Your list looks a lot like my list Boss! The first five episodes were the best!

I don't like Strange Visitor To Hazzard. It doesn't fit the series. I think they were trying to jump on the E.T. bandwagon. I love the first five Georgia episodes. One Armed Bandits is my all time favorite. It's so raw. I love Daisy's Song(we get to see Boss Hogg with a young girl on his lap), Mary, Kaye's Baby(the General Lee wasn't in this episode). I love the General Lee but it was nice seeing an episode where it wasn't overshadowing the characters, Repo Men and High Octane. These episodes were less sitcom-like. Days Of Shine And Roses is another favorite. The old film at the beginning was great with Boss and Uncle Jesse. Carnival Of Thrills was good but I didn't like Bo and Luke fighting.

Very impressive. A lot of those locations are well-documented online, but you found a few really obscure ones too!

The next couple of weeks I want to get the brakes done and get the windshield back in again. After that the engine and transmission will go in again. I don't know how fast things will go but when there's progress I will let it know for sure. Hope you like it!

Easy Hobie. You sophisticated folks ought not to make fun of us rednecks. You complaining about that kid just shows how stuck up and snooty you are. If you knew anything about cars you would know that those dents in the hood are going to hurt performance of that old Volare station wagon.

The American Andretti Global team have partnered with General Motors with the aim of joining Formula 1. If their bid is successful, they will race under the Cadillac name. With all the formal processes they'll have to go through, it won't be until at least 2026. That's the same year that Audi will start using their own engines, although their takeover of the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team is already under way. Full story here.

But...how did my NASCAR News thread go from NASCAR to Covid? Who is trying to politicize my beloved NASCAR? Getting back to topic... There is 43 more LOOOONNNNNGGGGG days until the Daytona 500!!!!

Cousin Skipper, I'm sorry I missed this post. I hope Gary's family is doing well. You come by the Boars Nest anytime. Of course I'll still charge you for drinks.

Sorry guys I missed this post. Me and Lulu were celebrating on Wednesday and counting all the cash. Roger and Hobie thank you so much for the kind words. I'm still going to charge you double for watered down drinks at the Boars Nest. lol Roger, Way back in the 80's when I found out I shared a birthday with Sorrell Booke(Boss Hogg) I was thrilled and I still am. A few years ago my wife made me a birthday cake with 'Happy Birthday to me and Boss Hogg'.

Yes! Happy Birthday Boss!! I tell you what, if you want to, when you finish at the Boars Nest , you can come by my car lot and we can tie one on in the back and watch the red buggies race around the track in back of my car lot!

I think NASCAR has sold out enough to be just barely politically correct so they won't cancel anything.

NASCAR better not be cancelling because of that...I need all the races I can get!

oh no no! That just couldn't be.....!! That wouldn't be politically correct! ( of course if it was America or Europe...)

I totally agree Hobie. I have nothing against the actors. They got a rotten deal in the whole thing, but the whole deal was weak and rotten. LOL. No one is the Duke boys, but Bo and Luke themselves. . .

Wow Spike...look at you outdoing me. Thank you for all the information and for the kind welcome back. NASCAR really can't get here soon enough. I am excited to have Jimmie back. Though sad it's for a different team and a different number and a limited amount of races. I'm going to be so confused on who to go for. I've been all team Hendrick since day one of my fandom. But I am happy to have him back any way I can. I miss the old days of Gordon and Johnson on the track every race going for the championship. As much as I like Chase...it's not the same as it was. I really wish NASCAR would stop putting their hand into the racing and let them race as they use to. But no one asked me...LOL. They also upped the number of drivers in the Clash race to 27 cars. I also just saw that the King himself, Richard Petty, will ride in the the Rose Parade! Sorry I am slacking on my part of the news. I am hibernating at my parents house until I get water. I'm just at my apartment to check things out so I thought I'd hop on for a bit. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks! I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas! I have a birthday cheesecake I am dying to cut into later.

We had temperatures well below freezing about two weeks ago, but Christmas day is quite mild here (10°C/50°F) although a friend of mine had a brief power cut yesterday during a heavy thunder storm. Happy Christmas everyone, and Happy Birthday to Meadowmufn.

penguins (Ya can't get further south than that. Hobie is a northerner compared to them....almost said Yankee but I know better)

“Days of Shine and Roses” is one of my favorites!!

It was an awesome trip for me and Alma. Trip was 4 days, 2 long flights, the weekend at Cooters Last Stand, just one day to find the filming locations. It was a busy day but awesome. If you want to see the complete trip including Cooters Last stand it's here:

Thanks guys! I had 3 General Lee's before, now I wanted a specific one. At the time LEE1 was hot and after seeing Travis his DVD about the car I loved it. That's why I made a replica LEE1. And if you replicate it, do it right and accurate. Only thing that isn't right is my rearseat. LEE1 didn't have it and I do. Otherwise I can't take my son along ;)

College (Hobie...I had to cheat and Google what that meant. Stop making me think...LOL)

So awesome to see you paying so much attention to detail.

I'm here cousin! Sounds like a good idea. I'm heading for the DVDs now!

It sure seems that way and my thoughts/prayers are with you AND them! Let us know if you find out anything. This is another good example of why drugs are bad business! Even Boss wouldn't deal with them! For ANY price! ( Remember?)

Jimmie Johnson new number revealed! Finally some excited news to share with y'all regarding NASCAR. Jimmie Johnson has finally revealed his new car number! *Drum Roll* He will be driving the car number 84! Just 48, but backwards. LOL! He will always be the 48 with Hendrick. Sad he is racing for a different team and not Hendrick, but he couldn't co own or co run Hendrick as he is with Richard Petty...Johnson's former boss co runs Hendrick - Jeff Gordon. I'm just glad Johnson is back with NASCAR and I will get to see him for a few races this year...I'll be confused on who to go for. Johnson or Elliott. Maybe they will finish first and second those races! 25 days until the Busch Light Clash! 39 LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG days until Daytona 500!

My mom put hers away this past weekend as well. I didn't put any up because I know my cat would only knock them down.

You guys ever wonder what a dipstick web site would look like? Me too! So I looked it up : dipstick.com...it's about level floors and floor construction.....who knew??? LOL!! dipstick.com

Um...is that an insult to NASCAR or racing? I might have to prepare to fight if so. HA HA.

That sounds like a great Christmas Boss!

My wife and I had a 'Dukes' Style southern Christmas meal. We made a ham, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, carrots, corn bread and collard greens. Every year when we watch The Great Santa Claus Chase we say we are going to have a meal like the Dukes had at Christmas. This year we finally did it.

2023 NASCAR schedule! Posting because I am excited for the new season. I'm not sure if someone beat me to posting it...but here it is if not. only 51 LOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG days until Daytona 500!

We hope you did too Cousin!!

Any New Year's Eve plans? My wife never stays up until midnight anymore but I always do....usually watching Christmas cartoons.
