yes, it's good to see you back bud! Don't be a stranger!

Hey y'all. I've been around here and there, just not logged in. Sorry to abandon y'all. I saw my name and it caught my eye. LOL. Thank you for remembering me. Sounds fun! Though I haven't been on my computer as much as I was a year ago, so I may not be able to post as much as before. I'm always ready to extend my winning streak.

I purchased a martin warthog bow a year or so ago. I have been told its in very good condition but was missing some stuff. I picked up the 8 arrow quiver but I had to purchase another old bow to get it but it is the correct one at least. A friend of mine brought me s martin deerslayer sight and I put a new arrow rest on it too. Was wondering if anyone knows exactly what sight was used on the one in the show? I got the 3 pin deerslayer sight on it now and it looks good but I don't think that was the one. Definitely a cool old school wood bow. Just trying to get as close as I can to the one on the show.

Hands up, I know nothing about archery, but I found a discussion about the Dukes of Hazzard bows at www.archerytalk.com. They said, "The original Warthog had a deerslyer [sic] 300 sight on it."

same here, except I was 14!!

Watched the very first episode in January 1979. I was 4 years old. Man that was a long time ago

Well I haven't been here in a bit. The business we opened up wound up doing very well but taking up a lot of time as well but it is what it is. Wanted to answer the question that it isn't the one in north Carolina. I live in a small town called Plainville in Georgia, its between Rome and Calhoun. The garage/boars nest im talking about is just outside of Shannon ga towards Kingston Ga. The guy has a General Lee, a 69 F350 cooters tow truck, a daisy jeep and a hazzard patrol car. The garage is awesome and the boars nest is built to the RH side of the garage. Has the correct jukebox and pinball machine as seen from the show. Even has the machine that has the huge bands that Boss Hogg was using to shake the fat away lol. It's really neat how far he has put into it as in detail. He also has a toy section and there is alot of cool stuff there too.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, and if I have a pint it's likely to be lager or maybe ale. I don't dislike Guinness, and it does taste different here, but I can't remember the last time I had one. My friend likes the 0.0 alcohol-free Guinness which I might try sometime since I usually have my car with me.

Thank you Hobie

Good to hear from you Garrett. How are your Cubs doing?

NASCAR is at my favorite track today! It's Bristol, baby! (Darrell Waltrip use to say that.) Anyway, it's a track I've been at. Not for NASCAR, but when the Dukes had their Dukefest there. Those were good times. What to Watch: Bristol | NASCAR NASCAR Cup Series a Bristol Motor Speedway Live Leaderboard, Results, & Updates (Today's starting line up) NASCAR Cup Series Standings & Stats - Official Site Of NASCAR (Standings as of right now) Alex Bowman (#48 Hendrick) will return today after missing four or so races due to vertigo.

My guess is they don't know how to figure the century's!!

Just realized how much this car looks like Dale Earnhardts wrangler car.

I've just checked out their website - luraycaverns.com - and they're very impressive. One thing that confused me - if they were discovered in 1878, why does the tour guide wear an 18th century costume (I'm quoting the video)? That would date from at least 79 years before the caves were discovered!

The Cooters in the Smokies is pretty nice too!

We went down to our daughter's in Winchester Virginia Thursday (home of Patsy Cline) but didn't really have any plans to do anythjng in particular. We go there at least twice a year and have pretty much done everything in the area but had never been to Luray Caverns. (It is unbelievable!) When we were leaving I remembered that Cooter's was somewhere near there so my daughter looked it up and we were only 7 miles away! We didn't stay long because I was the only person of 6 who was interested but it was incredible. I almost want to call it a spiritual experience but that bothers me a little to use that word since I believe in God but that place is definitely Hazzard Heaven on Earth. I am going to keep an eye on the schedule and go down again next time they have a big event. I hate to travel but who knows what will happen to the place after Ben passes on to Hazzard Heaven so I definitely want to go back for something big. BTW Ben wasn't there. He lives 45 minutes away though. I tried to get some people to join HazzardNet but see they haven't yet. I am still in awe over Cooter's. You would think that you couldn't top something like Luray's Cavern. It is one of the most amazing natural wonders on Earth. But Crazy Cooter pulled it off just a few minutes later.

Happy Easter to all my cousins in Hazzard County!

I think we need more details, Roger.

Yes he did win Michael Keaton

I'm watching the one where Lulu is kidnapped and the Duke Boys are set to rescue her! ( right now Bo's unconcious in a trailer heading down hill!)

Watching dirt bike races right now. They are racing in Detroit.....Lions Stadium

Since December 31, 2023 - he was 84.

I've never heard or seen this. I'll definitely be looking for it! I'm looking for an Irish beer around here, that I like! LOL!

Awesome, I will look that up and see what it looks like. Just picked up a 4 pin sight from ebay and it looks good but im not sure exactly if that one is it either. They made several different deerslayer sights depending on the year I think. I just picked up another bow from ebay with a different deerslayer sight from the two I have. At least I will have a few to choose from

I found them when I was 9. TNN 1996.

It was One Armed Bandits. Repo Men was 3rd and Mary Kaye's Baby 4th. But they aired Repo 4th and Mary Kaye's Baby 3rd. Swamp Molly is actually the 2nd CA filmed episode. Luke's Love Story is the first CA episode. But they aired Swamp Molly first.

Hey, I just thought of something! It's not important but I think it would be interesting..... WHAT ARE YOUR DAILY/WEEKLY DOH WATCHING HABITS? I watch TDOH every night when I go to bed until I fall asleep. Sometimes I'll watch it at other times during the night but 99% of the time, it's at night before I go to bed. It calms me and makes me feel good and it's easy to sleep like that. I might watch some a little earlier tonight! So....what are your watching habits?

Rashers are what the Irish call slices of bacon (back, streaky etc.) that you'd have for breakfast, so they're actually mentioned twice in the fillings. Unless it's related to breakfast, bacon in Ireland usually refers to the boiled meat served in dishes such as bacon and cabbage.

That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little. I was just thinking.....was Repo men the first episode? I thought it was " One Armed Bandits"....????......just asking....

We were 14 and not old enough to drive, so DOH on a Friday night was the big time!

Back when the show was airing it was so popular that that it caused Friday Night Football attendance to drop across America. Nobody had VCRs so you only had one chance to see it and nobody knew DVDs would be invented. My girlfriend knew that we wouldn't be going out on any Friday night dates!

It's hard to believe you and John are the same age Roger! That's wild! You're about 6 1/2 yrs. older than me! I turn 61 on Aug. 31

I was born the day John Schneider turned one week old so we both will be 66 next month. I was in the USMC stationed in North Carolina after getting out of boot camp in South Carolina. A lot of young Marines were talking about it so I watched it in the recreation room. I think it was Repo Men episode but I'm not positive. Been a superfan ever since. I'm glad it came out after boot camp so I can say I actually saw a Georgia episode on the night it debuted. (the ep, not the series). In boot camp we went 3 months without TV, radio, or a telephone. That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little.

I wish I could help you. It's so awesome you are replicating it. I have an Excalibur Axiom crossbow but have only shot it twice. Looks nothing like anything on Dukes. It's good to hear from you again.

I watched the A-Team save a mission yesterday. And at the end I saw something amazing. Miz Tisdale hugging Mr T. So cool! I wonder if he told her she had to take a number to get a hug.

After a last minute invite, I got to walk in the St Patrick's Day parade today. It's fun being in it, but it does mean that I didn't get to see many of the other participants. Luckily, the weather stayed dry, but it turned cold afterwards. Combine the cold weather with the busy pubs and I decided to delay my Guinness.

I'm thinking that I might try a Guinness today. I mentioned ale above - have you ever tried it, Hobie. I see they sell Smithwick's in 14.9 oz cans in the US.

Happy birthday in Hazzard Heaven Miss Loretta. It's hard to believe it's been almost 4 years now. (10-4-22). When the angels sing it is easy to pick your voice out because it is the most beautuful one. We love you!

Thank you Roger. My Cubs are last in their division right now. Only means there's only one way to go from here. HA

That is interesting Hoss. We didn't see any guides or anybody dressed like that. It looked like everybody was taking the self guided tour and just following the trail. I have a fear of caves but only got real nervous when we were half way through and I found out there is only one way in and one way out. They also had a toy museum there that wasn't very impressive but the car museum was amazing. They were part of the admission price.

I'm about to watch Jeopardy and the news and then......you guessed it! I'm about to speak with the spirits in a little bit....... 2 Milwaukee's Best Ice that I have left! I'll probably go out and get more tomorrow! I hope Garrett's ok and I sure hope our supreme superior leader is doing well! I miss both of them! In the words of Roscoooo P. Cooootrane! " Good news good news! " I've just discovered, when I went to get my beer from the frig....I've got not 2.....but 3!! ( I will have to go out and get more tomorrow though!! .....to prepare for DOHD and the weekend! )

I do too! I sure hope he's doing well. I hope he comes back soon!

Kimi Antonelli took his second pole position in a row as the Mercedes cars continued to be the team to beat at this week's Japanese Grand Prix. They may be quick in qualifying, but other teams are getting better starts, and Kimi slipped to sixth with Oscar Piastri making the most of his first start of year to take the lead. Oscar and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc made early pit stops, but lost out when their rivals got to do their pit stops under a yellow flag brought out by Oliver Bearman's crash into the wall. The new rules this year have led to a lot of yo-yo overtaking, and the front three teams now seem to be fairly evenly matched in race conditions. At the checkered flag, Kimi took his second win of the year to become the youngest leader of the championship. Oscar was second with Charles in third. Their team mates repeated the pattern with George Russell fourth, Lando Norris fifth and Lewis Hamilton sixth. Max Verstappen qualified 11th and only recovered to eighth. You can watch the race highlights here. In the Drivers' Championship, it's now Mercedes, Mercedes, Ferrari, Ferrari, McLaren, McLaren. The debate about the new rules continues with a meeting set to take place after the race. While we're getting a lot more overtaking, the 50-50 power setup with the electrical energy means that cars are dropping speed before the end of long straights because they're saving/harvesting energy. Understandably, the drivers and fans don't like this. They have plenty of time to sort things out as due to the previously mentioned war in the Middle East, the next two races have been cancelled, costing F1 an estimated $100 million. That means that the cars won't be out again until the Miami race weekend starting on May 1st.

Oh yes! NEVER drink and drive! That's something EVERYBODY can come to an agreement on! ........Something terrible may happen!........You might hit a bump in the road and spill your drink! ! ! LOl! * * No.....that IS a good thing! I always make sure all my responsibilities are taken care of, before I commune with the spirits!

Went from 60 degrees yesterday to 20 degrees today. I finally figured out why some people spell it possum and some people spell it opossum. The opossum is Irish.

roger loves ms. TISDALE!!

Yep. RogerDuke saddled up his dirt bike and he rode into the city. He made a lot of noise because Miz Tisdale is so pretty.
