Bo:"The Dukes of Hatchapee. That just don't sound right to me. We'll start doing whatever we can to help out Uncle Jesse. We'll get jobs helping folks repair their barns and what not." Luke:"Yeah. Bo's right. In fact, we still have to collect from Granny Annie for the recent repair job we did for her on the roof of her house." Balladeer:"I sure do hope them Dukes come out of this here mess on top of things, don't you?" Meanwhile back in town, at Cooter's Garage. Cooter is seen working on a Mustang which turns out to be Garret Duke's car so affectionately known as Spitting Cobra. Cue Garrett

A moment later the boys stepped through the door with brown paper bags of groceries and other items. A radiator hose could be seen sticking up out of one bag, pointing toward the ceiling. Still seated, Jesse looked directly at them with a slightly intimidating glare. "Well, it's good to see you boys finally decided to grace us with an appearance today." Bo and Luke's faces tensed up, knowing he wasn't done. "Now, tell me boys, which one of you held up the return trip back to the farm by flirting with girls?" They looked at each other silently and then at same time, both pointed to the other, looking very serious. Knowing Jesse couldn't see her, Daisy mischievously smiled, hoping the boys would smile and get in trouble. She didn't know her Uncle could see her reflection in a window. "I'm glad you think this is funny Daisy". Her smile ended quickly. "Now you three kids put everything away and while you are doing that, I'll fill this table up with bills....and we are fixin' to have a little math lesson on why it is a problem when there is more money going out than comin' in....a very serious problem.....as in, if we can't fix it, folks will be calling us the Dukes of Hatchapee."

Daisy watches her uncle eat silently for a long moment as she is over come with worry and sadness for her uncle. He has been working so hard and so long lately and has been stressing and worrying over the bills that keep piling up and the money that they don't have. A shiver runs down her body as she hears her uncle's soft voice filled with fear, sadness, and tears, in her head, as he had told her the other day that he doesn't know if they will even be able to pay next month's mortgage and that they might as well as start packing now. She can't imagine a life outside of the Duke farm and doesn't want to and yet she doesn't have a choice. Worse yet, is seeing her strong and proud uncle living in fear of losing the farm he has worked so hard to keep and to make it continue to thrive and know how much this is silently eating him up. The loud pur of the her cousin's beloved race car, breaks her line of thought. She silently sighs, knowing that the boys don't know how close they are to losing the farm and how much it will hurt them when the truth has to come out. As Jesse looks up, Daisy steps to the window and states, "They're here." Cue Roger

Well y'all there's nothing like waiting to the last race of the regular season to win a spot into the Chase...which I hope is what Chase is doing. Daytona is Saturday night. The last race of the regular season. Next week the Chase starts. Chase HAS To WIN IT to get into the CHASE. Or he'll be on the outside looking in. I definitely wouldn't save my chances for Daytona to win to get in with all the big wrecks and all...and we all know how lousy Chase's luck has been this season. How did we get to the end of the regular season so quickly? Shouldn't it be the Daytona 500...and not the regular Daytona race? LOL. At least at the Daytona 500 there was hope...now that hope is dimming out pretty quick. But if there is one thing being a die hard Cubs fan has taught me...is to never give up hope. But I'm not holding my breath. Win or lose, Chase will be my favorite driver that is currently driving. I'm loyal like that. Even Jeff Gordon had a season where he wasn't able to make the Chase. Now that was a lousy year! LOL. But as y'all know, he's always will be my favorite NASCAR driver.

Bo and Luke had a ZEST for chasing women
