Cousin Roger More - wasn't he James Bond?

What a roller-coaster race for George Russell. He started second, but took the lead by the first corner and kept it for most of the race. Then a safety car triggered a rushed pit stop where Mercedes put a mixed set of tires on his car, some of which should have gone on his team mate's car. He made a second stop to fix the problem, and was making his way back to the front when he got a puncture when he was just over two seconds off the lead. He again fought his way up the field, but with so few laps left, he could only manage ninth place. Nevertheless, he scored two points for the place and a bonus for the fastest lap, which are his first F1 points. Ironically, the incident that caused the safety car was a spin by Jack Aitken, who was driving George Russell's regular race car. Still, I think he proved himself today, and hopefully it won't be long before he's in a more competitive car. BTW. George wasn't penalized for the tire error, but the team were fined €20,000.

You didn't see a "black '68 coupe" [sic] in any of the junkyards did you?

Went junkyarding today to get a rim for the wife's car. Apparently one of the potholes around here bent one of her rims bad enough that it has a wobble in it. I figured I'd save a bit of money by going to one of the two local pick your part junkyards. But here's the catch that I didn't know about, you have to remove the tire yourself and bring your own tire irons as well or pay for the tire no matter even if the tire is bald. The local pick your part junkyards price the rims about $15-20 less than the regular junkyards but once you add the price of the tire I ended up paying $10 more than if I would have just called one of the regular junkyards Monday. So keep that in mind if you visit your local pick a part junkyard. Other than paying for a tire we'll never use it was a fun visit to the junkyard and seeing what was there. Seen a few really nice cars there that would have made a nice project for someone and probably could have made some money on since the body's were rust free.

When you Wish Upon a Hogg.....season 7 Hughie Hogg comes back to Hazzard and the episode begins with 8 quick different scenes of his past Hazzard misadventures. He now brings a pretty assistant named Trixie and two thugs named Barclay and Norris. The gang is planning on scamming Hughie's Uncle Boss and taking over Hazzard County. The first thing they do is put a gas cannister in the General Lee when Bo and Luke are on their way to fish and it puts him to sleep and then the thugs hauled them away, leaving the General there. Daisy found it and told Jesse on the CB. Hughie showed up to Boss and Rosco who gave him a hostile welcome. He put a bug in Boss's office and left a mysterious box with him for safekeeping. After opening it, Rosco convinced him it was Aladin's lamp and when Boss rubbed it, Trixie showed up through thick pink smoke dressed up like a genie. She granted his first wish of putting Bo and Luke in jail, thanks to Barclay and Norris sneaking their sleeping bodies there. Boss then wished for a barrel full of money and got a chest full. Bo and Luke escaped and caught a ride with Daisy and Jesse in his truck, jumping over a moving train to get away from the thugs. The Dukes then turned the tables and caught them and forced them to reveal Hughie's scam. Blinded by greed, Boss signed over everything he owned to get the lamp. The Dukes caught Trixie and forced her to tell Boss the scam but it was too late since he had already signed the papers. Hughie left for Capitol City to file the papers while his gang put Boss, Rosco and Daisy in jail after Daisy helped the boys get away. They jumped Willow Creek to get away from Barclay and Norris. They saved Hughie's life after his van teetered on a cliff and he froze in fear. Boss kicked the gang of 4 out of town but kept the lamp. The episode ended with smoke coming out of the lamp again.

Mystery The original game is Cluedo - Clue just seems to be used in the US and Canada. The character Mr. Green is known as Reverend Green outside of North America.

I love it Cousin Roger! More!

The Haunting of JD Hogg......season 7 Boss's Uncle Silas died. He was like a second father to Jesse. Silas had named Boss the heir to his estate on a tape recording 15 years earlier but made a new will a month before he died, making Jesse the executor and directing him to give the money to charity. A crooked lawyer named Larson conspired with Boss to destroy the new will but at the reading Boss, Larson and Larson's thug named Sharp where surprised when Jesse announced he had a copy of the updated will. Boss and Larson pretended they didn't know about it. Sharp ran Bo, Luke and Jesse off the road when they were going to the farm to get it. They called Daisy and told her to pick it up but Boss and Rosco got there first and burned it back at the courthouse. Larson and Sharp went to Summerville to pick up the $100,000 in inheritance money that Larson and Boss were going to split 50-50 at Silas's house. Daisy tried to stop them but was caught and taken hostage. The 3 Duke men hired local ventriloquist Mr. Winkle to set up a voice device and radio controlled gadgets before Boss got to Silas's house. They made it look like the house was haunted and made it sound like Silas's ghost was there. Rosco showed up and both he and Boss became convinced the haunting was real. Boss was so traumatized that he agreed to give the money to charity and even add 10 grand. Larson and Sharp showed up with their hostage Daisy and the money but then left as soon as they found out Boss changed his mind. The 3 Dukes in the General.....and Boss, Rosco and Winkle in Rosco's car......went after them. In front of the Boar's Nest they tried to stop them with the old moonshine nutcracker. It was supposed to sandwich the car between theirs but didn't work. It did distract them enough for Daisy to stop them. Rosco arrested the bad guys and the money went to charity.

It's been a good weekend so far for George Russell in Lewis' Mercedes. He was fastest in the first two practice sessions, and qualified second for the race, just 0.026 seconds behind his new team mate Valtteri Bottas.

OK...end of mystery! I looked him up! He is Carlos Brown but his other name is Alan Autry! ONE IN THE SAME!!

I just finished watching part 2 of 10 million dollar Sheriff! That guy who played Dawson, reminds me of that guy who played the deputy on Heat of The Night with Carol O' Connor.
