We have to wait until February 29th for the start of the F1 season. I don't remember any previous Grands Prix being on a Saturday (they're always on a Sunday unless they're cancelled - there are no delayed races like there are in NASCAR), but the first two of this season, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, are on a Saturday this season due to Ramadan. We also get 24 races 2024 - the most ever. I just hope that the other teams have caught up with Red Bull over the winter so we get some racing this year!

45 years ago today The Dukes Of Hazzard premiered on CBS. Happy anniversary to the best show!

My wife and I watched One Armed Bandits this evening. It's my favorite episode.

Dang it...I didn't even think of watching it. That would have been a great idea. Glad you were able to enjoy, Boss.

Dannnnnggggg you're lucky . . . I wish NASCAR would get the hint. They probably would start earlier if it wasn't for the dang football season and not wanting to compete. Back in the Richard Petty day they raced pretty much year round. Which is why no one will be able to reach his win record. Must mean I was born in the wrong year... LOL

Hi guys, still alive here, nothing done to the General Lee unfortionatly. But when there's progress I'll post it for sure!

Let's move on from my admission...LOL. I kinda liked it better before I had "came out" as a Hobie put it. HA. Anyway...for some REAL NASCAR news. Y'all mark your calendars! On February 4th (next Sunday) is the NASCAR Busch Light Clash in Las Angeles at the Coliseum! There will be a heat race next Saturday to signify who will be in and where they start, it looks like. It may not be a points race...but it's a race! Right now...I'd take anything! HA 2024 Busch Light Clash format unveiled | NASCAR 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Schedule, Race Results | Dates, Times

I only said that, because I said I picked Jeff Gordon out of a top sexiest man magazine and that his looks is what first got me. I didn't want everyone thinking Garrett was attracted to Gordon's looks. Otherwise y'all would still be in the dark. HA.

Awesome. Thanks for the reminder Boss. I'm not sure which episode I saw first but I missed the opener. Everybody was talking about how good it was. I was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina going to USMC truck driving school and watched it in the rec room. Loved it right away. Had no idea 45 years later it would be such a big part of my life. No other TV show ever had this impact on me. In fact, nothing has except God, family friends and that sort of thing.

45 years of greatness.

It wasn't huh? What else is it you woulda thought? Or do I want to know? LOL

I can't believe I missed these posts! I haven't been on regularly for a white. This is great! Hopefully it will go on for another 45!!

I'm out of reactions but it sure is good to hear from you again Floyd and Lee.

Thanks for the update. Let us know when you get back at it again. We always love the pictures.

That ain't the only thing we would've been thinking about you! LOL!

Garrett Duke was in mid repair of his car, when he heard Cooter's CB on the counter begin to squawk. At first he ignored it, assuming it wouldn't pertain to him until he heard something about the Boar's Nest. Knowing everyone was there, he slowly stands up, wiping his grease stained hands upon his faded denim jeans. Listening to Rosco's comment about framing Bill, makes anger rush rapidly within Garrett. Looking at his car, he now feels helpless and stranded until he thinks of his neighbor. Glancing around the dark garage, he spots Cooter's phone and he rushes over there and dial's the only phone number he knows in Hazzard. After three rings, the familiar voice shouts out, "Yo! You got Roy. What can I do for ya?" Garrett eyes the sheriff's station through the open door and moves deeper into the shadows as he sees Rosco quickly tip toeing to his car. Hearing Roy breathe impatiently on the other end, brings him back to where he was. "Yo Roy," Garrett states with a smirk, "you answer you phone like that to everyone? What if I were the law?" "I'd hang up on you," he quickly responds, "but you are the only friend I got, so I did a process of elimination." Garrett grunts. "I doubt I'm your only friend," Garrett resorts, "I saw Nile and Ramon over there a few nights ago at your party." "OK fine," Roy pouts, "I was trying to be nice. You are the only friend I got who calls when they need help and words gone around that you've been in knee deep in trouble with the law lately. I'm sure that wreck at the race took a deep blow to your ego. It was only time before you come calling begging for my help." Garrett rolls his eyes as he lights a cigarette as Rosco drives away, his tires squealing. "I don't beg," he dryly states, "I just know I can trust you." "And you can," Roy states and Garrett envisions him sitting on his holey and well-worn brown ugly couch, with his boots up on his wooden coffee table, with a huge smirk on his face. "What can I do for you? You in jail? Need more bail money? I'm your man. Lucky for you, I got paid yesterday." Garrett rolls his eyes. "It's not like that. I just need a ride," he finally states, "I'm at Cooter's Garage with my car and I need a lift to the Boar's Nest." "Ah you heard that too," Roy states on the other end, "Say no more. I'm on my way." With that, Garrett hangs up and smashes his cigarette out before walking to the end of the garage to wait for Roy. A couple of long moments pass before Roy's rusted out yellow Chevy truck pulls in. Garrett quickly climbs in, looks at Roy, and states, "Thanks for the ride. Let's go."

It's pretty cool, we set it up back in October and watched movies outside for most of the month of October and had a fire pit going and cooked out. We had a cheap projector and some computer speakers then. It worked good but I got a nicer projector and some big speakers for Christmas. It's really nice now. With the wet and cold of the winter time I moved the screen to the inside of the garage. I put casters on the frame I built so it would roll in and out. It is neat to have your own little movie screen if you want to watch something on a big screen

I had a good friend of mine came to visit from north Carolina today. He is also a huge dukes fan and he has a general lee replica as well. I have a big projector screen I set up in the fall of last year and I got it inside my garage. The wife and kids got me a nice projector and some Bluetooth speakers for Christmas. We set it up today and watched One Armed Bandits on the big screen. It was pretty neat to watch the dukes on a big screen. It was not so cold here today but I did have the heater going on low to warm up the shop to a comfortable temperature. Good times for sure!!!

I agree. I wish she would have come back for more episodes. I wished that about a lot of people. I'm glad Cale came back but sure would have loved to see Loretta again.

Start your engines! I'm a bit spoiled. Dirt bikes are on their 4th week of racing.

You sound like a fine young lady!!

You’re kind of freaking me out, but in a good way, lol! I literally was thinking that the other night when I was watching again…that Lucinda’s quote just about summed it all up! I literally yelled out “Amen, Lucinda!” when she said it (although I’ve watched this episode many times before)—fully agree, definitely the best quote in the entire series! But, although I loved the character of Miss Emma “Emmer” Tisdale…she never stood a chance with Uncle Jesse. He cared about her as a fellow born-n-bred Hazzard-ite & as a friend…but he wasn’t in love with her (even though she was with him). But, I could totally see Jesse ending up with Lucinda at some point. He did love her, and you could definitely tell there was something between them.

Um...have you seen Bo Duke? LOL. Actually I watched it as a kid and enjoyed it. Had a hard time understanding why it wasn't on TV anymore. Then when it came back on TV, I was a big CHiPs fan at the time and seen each episode several times, so I abandoned Ponch and Jon and went to Bo and Luke. I remember being appreciative of hearing of their friendship off the screen as well as on. Erik Estrada (Ponch) and Larry Wilcox (Jon) didn't get along in real life and was kinda disappointed when I heard that. LOL. And then that led to NASCAR and Jeff Gordon. HA. I'm not a normal girl. LOL I was more into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles than I ever was in Barbie and am a huge sports fan.

Well how did a girl get so involved in TDOH?

Thank you, Roger, for your time and service for our country. You are amazing. Uncle Jesse would be very proud of you.

Garrett Duke is my created fan-fic character and who I normally go by on here. I just didn't want to imply he likes Gordon based on his looks as it had started for me, Garrett's author.

I do believe I mentioned it to you before, but I can't remember if it was a PM or on a thread, either. It is sad to see friends on here leave; I have several. It is sad. I am honored to have known you, Roger, and had have the opportunity to be friends on here with you for those years.

Not the biggest job but the LEE1 parking permit decal is in place. It took some measuring from a pic of the original LEE1 but I think it's almost spot on. Anyway, I'm happy about it

Funny (At least they used to be...not any more)

Hey.....I was just wondering....what made you decide to " come out" as a woman , when we all thought you were a man?
