Today I got to go on a river cruise with a group that I'm part of. It was nearly two hours each way with a stop-over for a hotel meal in the middle. We were hoping for a brighter day, but a bit of mist and rain on the outward journey didn't dampen our spirits, and the return trip was dry with much better visibility.

Hey y’all, just thought I’d swing by to tell you I got myself a YouTube channel, feel free to sub up! Thanks! - Tom Duke

My parents were married 67 years, just a few months shy of 68 years when dad passed. They got married at 19 (mom) and 21 (dad). I've been married almost 23 years. My oldest sister celebrates anniversary #32 this year and my other sister will celebrate #26 later this year. So, my advice would be to find someone who's been married a long time and get advice from them! Because whatever my mom and dad were doing right, it seemed to rub off on us kids. My mom always told me that the key to a long marriage was.... 2 tv sets. And for the record, all of us kids have more than 1 tv set.

Someone, who shall remain nameless unless they want to reveal themselves, has graciously paid for HazzardNet's hosting this month via the Ko-Fi widget in the right sidebar. I did, however, create a new badge that I will give out to everyone who contributes. So, if you want to go poking around, you'll probably find said individual. 🤭 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I won't go into details, but the last 6 months have probably been the roughest of my life and, though I have been a little absent from the forums (though I have been working on a few things in the background), I am so grateful for all of you. I know there's always a place here I can come to get away from all my troubles. Dukes fans are the best! -Mufn

As I mentioned on the previous page, it would also have been my mother's birthday today, so I've been remembering her.

Formula 1 was back this weekend after its summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix. Since it returned to the calendar in 2021, Red Bull's Max Verstappen has dominated his home race with pole and the win each year, but McLaren's upgrades seem to be working better than Red Bull's at the moment, and Max had to line up behind Lando Norris on the grid. Lando's team mate, Oscar Piastri started in third with George Russell the first of the Mercedes cars in fourth. Ferrari were sixth and tenth, but Lewis Hamilton failed to make the final qualifying session and also got a grid penalty for impeding another driver, so started 13th. Alex Albon had a great qualifying for Williams to initially put his car in eighth, but had to start from the back after the floor of his car was found to be illegal. Lando continued his unfortunate record of poor starts from pole and was overtaken by Max into turn 1. Max stayed ahead until Lando retook the lead on lap 18. Lando then held the lead over Max until the checkered flag to take his second win and the point for fastest lap. He ended up with a winning margin of 23 seconds - the sort of lead that Max used to get. The Ferraris seemed to have had better race pace than they showed in qualifying, finishing in third and fifth and separated by McLaren's Oscar Piastri. George Russell slipped back to finish in seventh with Lewis Hamilton catching up to eighth. McLaren are now catching Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship, but they may be regretting swapping their drivers in the last race as Lando could've been closer to Max in the Drivers' Championship. You can see the race highlights here.

Thank you. You all are the best. My scholarship person responded to an email yesterday saying that I won't have to pay anything back as long as I stay at the day care for a year. Which makes things even worse. I'd understand if it was I that was quitting the program, but it's the day care that's quitting it. In my mind, I shouldn't be the one forced to stay due to what they are doing. Maybe I am wrong and irrational. I really wish I never signed up for these classes now. I don't know. I emailed the person back with a couple other questions and she has yet to respond. So I guess we will see. On top of it all, I now got a bad cold. I was supposed to enjoy this week as I only work Monday and Friday. Now I have this to deal with. Kenny Chesney has a song on his new album that is "This too Shall Pass". I am sure this will pass and maybe it's not as bad as I am making it out to be. I just hate the thought of being stuck at a place that I no longer feel appreciated at and no longer happy at. Though financially, I don't know where else to go or so forth. Thank you for listening.

Well it's been more than just 24 hours, but work has been stressful. My boss has emailed me on Wednesday (on my day off) saying that the daycare won't be participating in the college scholarship that has been helping me pay for my online classes. She said this on my way home from vacation two months ago, but my scholarship person was able to talk to her into signing up. But now that my contract is coming up in a week or two, she is withdrawing. So after two full years (halfway through) she is taking that away. There are other grants that I may be able, but I am not sure what to do now. We had DHS stop by last Monday and did a look over and she talked to everyone about stuff. My boss didn't like what she said to me or that I talked to the DHS lady . So Idk if that is what is fueling this. . .but that was stressful enough as it is. Then I was expected to do CPR on Wednesday (telling me Tuesday night) so the same day that she texted me all this, I had to spend 5 hours doing CPR training that isn't due until September. At least it is over. But it's the whole way she did it. I am currently thinking of applying at the school for a para position. The only problem is the breaks and summer and so forth and financially to do it - though it pays pretty much the same as where I am at right. But am already struggling financially and had to borrow money from my parents the other day. On top of it all, my left knee to my ankle has been killing me the past couple of weeks. Keeping me up at night and hurting worse when it's not moved for long periods. I know most of it is my weight. I need to lose weight, but with all this stress all I want is chocolate and french fries. It'd be so much easier if I loved fruits and veggies and all that is good for me...but it's the opposite. Sorry to rain on y'all's parade. I know so many others have it way worse than I have it and it could be a lot worse. It's just been a stressful week and more. Luckily, I only work Monday and Friday and a couple of hours on Thursday this week due to my scholarship (I got 48 paid hours off a semester to work on schoolwork or rest. I had 18 hours left from the past semester, so my boss wants to use them up this week.) I am sorry for the vent. Thank you for listening.

I'm sorry Spike. That is frustrating.

Happy 4th, Hazzard Style! Enjoy working today, Hoss.

I made a thing. 😁

Well fellow Hazzardinians ! I just had my long , put off , Hernia surgery today but I'm back at the car lot !! It seems that all went well but I'm not out of the woods yet. ( won't be 100% sure for about a month! ( Aug. 1st ??)

Still raining hard but the worst of it is over. Let us know how it went as soon as you can Hobie. When they ask you how you got your hernia are you going to be honest and tell them it was from lifting and moving your still because you knew the revenuers were on the way?

I hope it gets better for you Bud!! I gotta get to the hospital tomorrow ....they just called to tell me when my surgery is going to be....I KNEW IT!!!! !!!! 6:30 AM!!! And they're in the next county over!! ( Putnam!!) GRRR!!! It's called a Herniotomy...you got it! Hobie is now Hobie Hernia!! ( Hernia Hartkins???? )

The trio correctly identified the square as the filming location of 'The Music Man' and 'The Gilmore Girls' (both already mentioned in this thread), and then Cathy says "and then didn't they film, um, Opie, uh, what's that, not Happy Days, um ...". She never finished the sentence and never mentioned Andy Griffiths, but it's fair to assume that that's what she was referring to as Ron Howard's character was Opie Taylor (and he was in 'Happy Days'). Exteriors for "The Andy Griffith Show" were mainly filmed at the RKO 40 Acres/Desilu backlot in Culver City, about 45 minutes south of the Warner Bros' backlot. I can't find any evidence of Andy Griffith filming in Burbank. The video below shows what's now standing where the backlots were, and mentions several other shows and movies that were filmed there. It also shows the former Desilu Studios in Hollywood. There's a brief Dukes tie-in at around 12:32 when they show a still of James Best from the 1959 movie 'Verboten!'.

I don't think Hoss is human. I think think he's artificial intelligence. No human could be that smart.

Hey this is good stuff! Good deal Tom! ( cousin! )

Happy birthday. I am glad you had a good day.

Thanks y’all, means a lot!

Happy Birthday, Tom.

Last year on the social media channels, I ran HazzardNet Hysteria (the Dukes version of March Madness). It didn't even occur to me to post about it on the forums. I will be posting polls here for y'all to vote too. Last year it was characters and Uncle Jesse won. This year, it's Battle of the Episodes. And since y'all are the most avid supporters of HazzardNet, you get first crack at the polls! I'll post them here first.

Forgive me y'all, but I just found this site. I've been watching The Dukes of Hazzard since it first aired (I was 7), and have been an absolute fan ever since! I grew up in a Mopar family and have had my share of of muscle cars. I drive/own only Mopar, and the 1969 Charger has always been my favorite, I've had a couple of them. Anyway, most people on the show who come to Hazzard county, are just passing through, but I plan on staying for a while. Looking to rub shoulders with some like-minded people on here. I hope I can give at least as much as I get on this site. Thanks in advance for puttin' up with me! Keep it between the ditches y'all!

There's some discussion about the new road-going Charger and possible gas engines in a recent Doug DeMuro podcast. It's a good looking car with styling cues from the '60s Chargers. One of the publicity shots shows the new car in orange, but sadly it's the 4-door version. I'm sure it won't be long before someone slaps an 01 on the side of a 2-door.

Thanks as always ❤

Diamond In the M*A*S*H episode 'Rainbow Bridge', Hawkeye and Trapper are off to Tokyo and get a shopping list that includes a training bra (for Klinger). Father Mulcahy says, "Understandably, there's some gaps in my education. What exactly is a training bra?" Hawkeye replies, "Just like an ordinary one, only it has two little wheels in back." 😀

Casino I've certainly heard of it over here, although I may not always use it correctly. With me and my friends, it may be said when someone wins something or gets some kind of bonus or bigger share, but we also say it when someone's actually having chicken for dinner. The source of the phrase is disputed, but it's thought to be linked to gamblers in the US in the 1920s or 1930s. One version says that chicken dinners in a Las Vegas casino were $2, which was also the price of a standard bet - if you won your bet, you got your chicken dinner. I'm not sure how it crossed the Atlantic, but it was most likely in movies and TV shows.

Well, I didn't get to the update yet, so it'll probably be next week.

Merry Christmas y'all. I'm off till after the New Year which is great because I've kind of had it with my coworkers and need a break.

I did the same thing. Enos was someone I related to the most. He was my favorite from the start but as I got older Jesse took over. By the time I joined HazzardNet Jesse was definitely my favorite....and always will be at this point in my life.

It's great hearing from you Hobie! I'm glad your moonshine didn't get washed away. Bring some on over to the Boars Nest.

rewatching the episodes lately, I've notices several "timeframe" errors. firstly, in happy birthday general lee its supposedly 8 years prior (1976) they got the general. also, in that episode daisy supposedly starts working at the boars nest. in the one-armed bandit episode luke & bo got caught a year prior 1978. in daisy's shotgun wedding daisy says she's been working there 6 years. that episode was released in 1983. that would mean she started in 1977. in play it again luke daisy says it's been 7 years (1977) since luke had seen candy (did he see her after he got out of the marines?) i know all these aren't important i just thought they were interesting.

He certainly does a better job than Willie Nelson!

oh yea Bud! Thanks! and thanks to everybody!

In a very short while I'll be celebrating my BD ( it's tomorrow but since today is DOHD, I thought I'd go ahead....:) ) HAPPY DOHD everybody !! * DOHD- Dukes Of Hazzard Day....a holiday that is celebrated in Hazzard like Thanksgiving day, Labor Day etc. except this is celebrated every Friday and culminates around 7pm central!! I'm about to enjoy some adult beverages and put a DVD in a little later after the news and Jeopardy! DOHD is a celebration of those kind of days when you seemed to be freer and happier. It takes you back to the day and time when we all were more innocent and less judgmental and where we had a pure enjoyment of life! I think everyone here can agree, that this alone is a good enough reason to celebrate Dukes Of Hazzard Day! So to all my fellow Hazzardites.......HAPPY DOHD!!

It's hard to believe....Enos will be 90 years old on this day next year. In the meantime, he's still a young man in his 80s for one more year. Happy birthday Enos! Possum on a gumbush!

Okay, me and Garrett turned around and are heading home now. Besides, we kept getting lost. Garrett is driving and only wants to make left turns because that's how it's done in NASCAR. I tried to explain that's why we are going in circles but Garrett never listens. Besides, I'm not mad anymore after you gave me such a nice cocompliment. Nobody has ever called me a "reasonable adult."

Sounds like fun. Did you see any castles?

Just got done racing dirt bikes...sort of. My real one is broke down. PS4 video game dirt bikes that is. Does anybody here know how replace fork seals on a dirt bike? If so, come on over tomorrow. I pay in donuts and buttermilk.

+1 !! Don't hesitate to pm me if you want to! We all love you around here!

Thank you Roger for putting this and reminding me. I remember years ago I went to a car show an hour or so away from where I live, because Jimmie (Rosc0) and Ben Jones (Cooter) was there. It was around this time of year. I was in line to see Ben Jones when I remembered Jimmie's birthday and I went and wished him a happy birthday. His whole face lit up. Made my day and is something I will always remember.

Ryan Blaney won Pocono yesterday, this is the '23 champs 2nd win of the year and moves him up to 5th in championship standings. Corey Lajoie might be the driver of the week to be fined for on track conduct. He turned Kyle Busch after Busch threw a block on a late restart. If he would have turned Busch during the block it probably would have been called a racing incident but since Corey turned Busch well after the block and took out 4 other cars doing it he'll probably get a fine. Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Daniel Suarez and Ty Gibbs got nailed for speeding on their last pit stops which mixed them back in traffic. Chase Elliott was able to get all the way back up to 9th, his teammates Alex Bowman and William Byron got top 5's.

...for the county. Wichita Lineman makes me sad. One of my dad's early jobs was as a lineman for PacBell. It hits even harder now that he's in a nursing home after his stroke. I hear you singing in the wire I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line

Thank you everyone. I am sure things will work out. My parents are helping out a lot so I am blessed. I've read how the transmissions of the car were faulty. I think I read it right before buying it as well but the guy told my dad if that were to happen they'd fix it. But my dad had to bring my car to another place because where I got it was booked until mid July. I really like this car and am sad to see it having issues. I felt guilty leaving it on the lot Wednesday. It's Sunday and they still have it and no word on who is paying for it or how this will happen. Hopefully tomorrow. I'm just hoping Ford will cover it since obviously it's on them...but we will see. Thank you for your support. I almost didn't post it because I am sure you all have stuff going on as well and this is nothing compared to a surgery and having to pay for that on top of it. It'll work out, I just need to be patient...

I'm still hurting but I'm bound and determined to enjoy DOHD!! ( I hope you fellow Hazzardites do too! )

It was the Spanish Grand Prix today, and Formula 1 is finally getting closer again. The three practice sessions were topped by three different drivers from three different teams, and none were Max Verstappen or Red Bull. McLaren's Lando Norris pulled out a near perfect lap to claim pole in qualifying. Mercedes' George Russell got a great start from third, and was in the lead after the first corner. It didn't take long for Max Verstappen to overtake him, and Max went on to win again, but there was plenty of close racing and overtaking behind. Pole-sitter Lando Norris was closing on Max in the final laps, but had to settle for second at the checkered flag. Lewis Hamilton got past his team mate, George Russell, to claim third place and his first podium of the year. There were discredited rumors online this week that Mercedes were sabotaging Lewis' car because he's leaving for Ferrari at the end of the season. I guess that this result proves that the rumors were untrue. You can see the 8-minute highlights here. Next weekend is Red Bull's home race in Austria.

Randi Brooks touches on Dukes and her relationship with Tom in this interview (starting at about 5:40):

Bring him to the mountains of Tn. You know, where the Beaudrys have their hideout. Some people have gone there and were never seen again!

It's based off the video game of the same name. Years ago Nissan did a tournament with Gran Turismo and the best sim racers got a shot at a Nissan factory race team. Got home from picking the car up at the tire shop today, turned out to be something I ran over though I've never seen a screw like that before, anyways the lawn crew was nice enough to weed whack our asters and allysums.

Welcome to HNet, bodukegirly. The episode you're talking about is 'Pin the Tail on the Dukes' in season 4. The scene is just over half an hour in, and goes like this: Waylon: Along about this time, a truck was heading through Hazzard for the first time. That driver didn't have a clue about Hazzard's driving conditions. Bo: Hang on, Hector. Here we go again. (They swerve the first truck) Luke: Phew! That was close. Bo: Bo Duke, you are too much. (Luke spots the second truck) Luke: Bo. Bo: What? Luke: Bo! Bo: Oh, my gosh. Hang on. Waylon: I'm hanging. (They swerve the second truck) Luke: How do you do that twice? Bo: There's only two trucks in Hazzard, right?
