All of my photos on here are posted using an external image hosting site. There are many to choose from, and most offer a limited amount of free hosting.

I got some more great pictures of the boars nest, plus the General Lee got to check it all out unfortunately I can’t post the photos as it says the size is too large. @Meadowmufn y'all got your ears on? Should I add them to an external url or my photo album on here? Also big news, big news. Not sure if shared this yet but found myself a girlfriend and she’s actually joined this site. Trying to get her into Hazzard, one jump at a time. Yee Haw!

We've had another week of rain here, although not too bad where I live. I don't think I've ever been close to experiencing wind chills of -30F (that's about -34.5C). At least you've got the coolest day of the year to look forward to - cool!

You started it, Hobie. It's here.

That looks good!

it's been a long time since I updated this thread, and a long time since I did any work to any vehicles in general, but I expect to resume some of my efforts soon, so I wanted to catch this thread up. A while back I built a TWS CJ7 Jeep RC kit. I made some minor modifications in that I printed a modified set of seats from the 69 Charger model that I printed the 69 Charger interior from. I did this because the TWS kit came with the later high-back style seats. The earlier CJ7s like they used in the show had the low back seats which looked very similar to the charger seats, so that was a good way to get the right style seats. Additionally, I was able to carefully cut out the doors on the lexan body and I hope to build some hinges so I can put them on when desired, but that's a project for another day. Because of the open jeep design, it was absolutely necessary to have a driver, and these options were very limited. There aren't any action figures that look anything like Daisy. I looked into some of the proper sized action figures available on Ebay but those seem to be aimed mostly at Cosplay people and perverts. They're expensive, anatomically accurate for pornstars, and the clothing all needs to be bought separately. Since my daughter is involved in this whole process, that approach was scrapped and I found this 3d printable option that I decided to go with. It doesn't really look like Daisy, but it's better than the scale pornstar option! Next step for the Jeep is a more correct wheel/tire package and the decals. I'm not terribly impressed with the decal set that I bought on Ebay, so I'll probably work up my own and have MCI print them for me. He's the one that I got the General decals from, and the one that printed the police decals that I designed. Hopefully soon I'll start my 3rd General Lee build.

Some random advice: 1. Take lessons from a local instructor. Learning guitar is hard. Having an instructor vastly improves your chances of success. 2. When you're learning chords, just hold the chord while you're watching tv. Strum it a little bit during commercials. At first when you pull your hand away, you have to carefully reposition your fingers. After a while you'll notice that your hand will snap back to that spot. Once it does that, you'll start to be able to just grab that chord without positioning your fingers. 3. Once you can grab the chord reliably, start working on a 2nd chord. Once you can grab 2 reliably, start switching between them 4. When you're actually practicing instead of just holding chords while watching Dukes reruns, focus on having good timing. That's a critically important skill. Go as slow as you need to. Whether you use a metronome, a youtube drum track or play along with the song, timing is everything. Even if you can only strum the chord once per beat, your timing is always your priority. 4a. Learn to tap your foot to the beat. Do it to every song on the radio when you're not practicing. Make it become 2nd nature, because you'll need it to keep good time, especially when you start getting to songs with stuff that's off the beat. 5. A bunch of old Waylon and Hag songs are only 2 chords. 6. This probably should have gone near the top, but take your guitar to a competent tech or luthier for a setup. Make sure he knows that you're a beginner and he should be able to set up the guitar with lighter strings and lower action. This will make it easier to play. Like I said above... learning is hard, and frankly, it's a lot harder when you start on acoustic. It's bigger, it's farther from your body, it's harder to see what you're doing, the strings are thicker and they're farther from the frets. Hope this helps.

And some of them even mention NASCAR!

Im new to this, this General Lee hot wheels Mustang GTD is the very first one I did.

That was Daisy, from the episode they met Cale Yarborough

I don't think they let you in for using Google!

I've only ever experienced friendly banter.

Enos mentions of couple of unseen Hazzardites in 'Enos Strate to the Top' when he's listing the important crimes he's solved: "All I could put down was rescuing Mrs. Finster's cat from a telephone pole and finding Abner Peabody's long-johns after the hurricane of '72."

Here's a video about a decisive day near the start of World War II. British pilots, along with help from others from Poland, allies and Commonwealth nations, saw off the Luftwaffe and indefinitely postponed the German invasion of Britain. Among the commenters are actor/presenter Nicholas Parsons, former Member of Parliament Tony Benn, "Forces Sweetheart" Dame Vera Lynn, art critic Brian Sewell and comedy writer Jimmy Perry (who co-wrote the much-loved WWII sitcom 'Dad's Army' about the Home Guard). Some of them were young children at the time, and tell how their view of war went from excitement to horror, but also how a lot of mundane activities continued despite everything going on around them. There are also interviews with pilots and the people plotting the battles. This is "World War II: The 13 Hours That Saved Britain". It's 48 minutes long, but well worth it.

We used to take Buttermilk and make biscuits from scratch. You put in the flour, and mix in all the ingredients and some Buttermilk and....WOW! A great tasting biscuit....like sausage and biscuits, etc.....

Same here! That's how I came to like it. In second grade the teacher asked who likes Buttermilk and everybody's like ugh! ...and I was the only one to raise my hand!

The more I see it....the more jealous I get! LOL! ...you got it good cousin!!

Not many people are into buttermilk anymore. My grandma liked it and always had some in her fridge.

Does HazzardNet currently have a NASCAR fantasy league. If not would you guys want to start one.

I'll test it. I started one here. The password is GeneralLee01 https://fantasygames.nascar.com/live/leagues/hazzard-net

Congrats on the girlfriend Tom. I can't help with the pictures but hopefully Hoss or MM will chime in.

Never ended up getting that cold because we never had real high winds. Looks like the big storm is done. Hopefully that will be the last one of the winter but probably not.

come on down to the lord's country and you wont have that problem! If it gets 30 degrees, we're concerned! It's unbearable!!

It was a rough January. The weekend is supposed to be bad here on Lake Erie but a major warm up is on the way for the entire eastern US! Yeeehaww!

I have gotten into pro dirt bike racing so much that I even joined Instagram to follow my favorites....mostly Kawasaki riders,

Well the pre season race was supposed to be this past weekend to give me some relief from my withdrawals, but the dreaded winter put a halt to it as they had to post pone the race due to SNOW! So in turn the race is now tomorrow (Wednesday). Weekend schedule for 2026 Clash at Bowman Gray | NASCAR 12 more days until Daytona!!!!

I've mentioned a few British shows that have been remade in the US, but here's a little video listing several more. There's even a cheeky Dukes reference halfway through.

This can't possibly be right. Nobody ever died while driving in Hazzard. I have to question those numbers. Nobody even got hurt. Fake news.

I wish to draw again but im not sure what to draw........bo maybe......hmmm.......

Here's a video of an ex-pat American who now lives in the Netherlands comparing driving there to driving in the USA.

OH! HEY! I'm sorry! I almost forgot to wish you all a happy DOHD! So....Happy DOHD everybody!

It definitely has been a big part of my life. No other show has even been close to Dukes as my favorite show ever.....and never will.

Some of you may have noticed HazzardNet was down for a few hours today. The database wouldn't come up. Fixed it though. I bet Enos unplugged something important to plug in the coffeemaker. He didn't even leave me any donuts from the Busy Bee.

LOL! I ran out of reactions so....LOL!

Well guys, I got my tower back today, so I'm back in action and the computer is fast again!

It really does! How in the world did 47 yrs. pass that fast? I bet it wouldn't have been that fast if the DOH hadn't come along to spice life up!

Jesse Duke is an eX Moonshiner.

47 years! Feels like 10 to me.

Thanks for getting everything back. I had just assumed it was routine maintenance and I'd missed the warning.

Well y'all. . .I have been trying to mend my broken heart since Sunday. I may never be the same. Though I have to admit it was nice being on the winning side this year. This is the best season they've had in over a decade. Ben Johnson is the coach the Bears have needed since Lovie Smith. Caleb Williams is one of the best QBs they've had. It has been a fun season...stressful, but fun. Sad it is over, but proud of the team and their never give up attitude. Though with them out... Football is officially over for me. Daytona is 23 more days from now... Onto NASCAR and baseball...

Well, Garrett if you really want to watch the Bears on Super Bowl Sunday you could always pop Boar's Nest Bears in the DVD player.

That white stuff is called snow Hobie.

Well I've got my shower and I'm watching S. 4, not 5. I'm watching " Nothing But The Truth".

Right now I'm on the computer and I'm watching the weather/news and then after the usual TV shows I watch I'll take a shower around 8 pm central and then .....It's the peak of DOHD!! I'll watch something off of S. 5 .

I'm celebrating DOHD early tonight ( I'll probably celebrate tomorrow too! ( My wife is off tomorrow and the next day, so I don't have to take her to work! Everybody needs to celebrate with the DOHD ( maybe get on here and tell everyone what you're watching?) AND celebrate with your favorite Libation!

thank you!! I don't think I like the style, maybe i'll draw him again but different

No problem Roger, always happy to share. It’s honestly a pretty good place to hang, country music playin, cold beer, (soda if you don’t drink) and some great people. Sounds a lot like Hazzard don’t it? - Tom

+ 1 !! I feel the exact same way!

The snow is over for the most part. 18 inches. Pretty manageable here on Lake Erie. Super cold the next several days. We have a full tank of propane and a fire in the woodstove so we're good.

Well here we go, this is a start anyways. Thank you to Meadowmufn for the assistance too, in troubleshooting the uploads. Y’all, this is The Boars Nest, located in a pretty little town called Cardinal. It’s got a lot of heart & soul. A lot like Hazzard.
