Hey, this is a fun game. How many ways is it possible to ruin a good NASCAR thread.....on second thought....I'd better be careful or Garrett will start messing with my episode review thread.

I probably shouldn't ruin a good NASCAR thread by saying how bad I'm going to beat you in fantasy baseball so I'll be quiet now.

I bet you were disappointed!

There might still be hope for our fantasy baseball league Garrett. They're still scheduled for late this month even though they cancelled the minor leagues.

Great commentary Spike. I guess I don't really have a favorite season since each one of them offers something different. Even season 7 had some gems like Happy Birthday General Lee, Go West Young Dukes and Welcome Waylon Jennings. Season one had the awesome Georgia episodes of course. A lot of people would look down at season 5 but Enos came back to Hazzard, Bo and Luke came back later and the series survived. I missed Bo and Luke but had it not been for the idea of replacing them we would have only ended up with 4 years of Dukes. . I think a lot of Dukes fans like you would look at season 3 as the peak of the series so I'm sure you're not alone.

The Canterbury Crock.....season 3 Widow Emma Partridge was planning on selling all her antiques but Boss buys them for dirt cheap just before the 4 Dukes get there. A priceless old vase that her husband Simon picked up in England after the first world war was left and the Dukes gave her 25 dollars for it even though she didn't think it was worth a buck. It turns out it was one of only two commissioned by Cleopatra. A moment after the Dukes left, an antiquities dealer named Beckman showed up with a henchman and offered Emma $1000 for it while Boss was still there. Boss and Rosco went to the farm but Daisy had already left with the vase. She put so many flowers in it you couldn't see the vase and gave it to Cooter for his birthday who gave it to Rosco who gave it to Boss. The bad guys went to Boss's office after bombing the Duke barn. None of them knew the vase was right there. Boss even made a comment about it being under his nose, not knowing it literally was. Cletus caught the Dukes and brought them into the office. When Luke noticed the flowers he made a deal with Boss but as soon as Boss got the vase he broke the deal. Beckman took the vase and drove off in his car with the radiator going bad. 3 cars followed, Rosco with Boss, Cletus and the General. Jesse and Daisy jumped in later. With their car steaming the bad guys stole Rosco's car then Rosco and Boss stole the General. Beckman realized he left the vase in his car and went back. Bo and Luke found it and took off even though the car was on its last leg. Three cars ended up in a pond, the Dukes got $2000 and Boss accidently broke the vase on Rosco's gun. --last episode in season 3 -- funny sign on the church for upcoming sermon "Moonshine vs Milk" -- Rosco made a jump driving backwards. I'm not sure if this is the only backwards jump in the series...probably not....but maybe...after the crash Rosco said "That was a horrendous crash. That's one of the bigger horrendous crashes I've ever had." --When Daisy didnt answer the CB Luke said she's "probably listening to that Waylon tape".....I wonder if it was an 8-track or cassette. --Rosco mentioned a sexy pin up of Minnie Pearl....lol

The Hack of Hazzard.....season 3 Miz Tisdale rides a wheelie on her dirt bike on the way to visit her mother after showing Bo, Luke and Daisy what to do at the post office since they are replacing her. They also are in charge of the Tisdale Cab Company even though it hasn't had a customer Daisy was prom queen. Two bad guys show up with a stolen $100,000 gold certificate and bust their radiator from hitting a tree so Cooter calls Bo and Luke in the cab to pick them up. When the bad guys see Rosco in town they panic and put the certificate in an addressed envelope and hide it in the ripped back seat then walk away. The Duke boys drop the seat off at Cooter's for repair and the envelope falls out. He gets it mixed up with his mail and puts it in a postal box. Cooter also takes the seat to Uncle Charlie's upholstery shop. Boss and Rosco think Bo and Luke are in on the certificate theft and everybody ends up at Charlie's but can't find the certificate. After things get sorted out Cooter tells the bad guys...and later the Dukes...that it got put in the mail. The bad guys catch Daisy on her way to Colonial City with the mail bag but the boys rescue her in the old mining town named Shoveltown. Boss grabs the certificate but the Colonial City police take it from him. -- Great scene with Rosco acting as a weight to hold the busted hood down on his car while Boss drove. -- The Tisdale Cab Company only charges 5 cents a mile. -- I wonder if Miz Tisdale's mother is the one who taught her how to ride wheelies. --It was funny when Daisy asked Jesse to take a number and show ID -- Wanting to find the certificate Boss told Rosco to take the cab to the impound yard and strip. Rosco was concerned "Isn't the police garage a little public?"

Some trees can handle wind better than others. If you want to toast marshmallows and you try to break a small branch off a maple it will bust easily but if you try it with a hickory it just bends. Flexibility is always a good thing in wind. I went kayaking today and have another float planned tomorrow. That will make 5 in 6 days.

The Great Hazzard Hijack....season 3 When the General gets stuck in Hazzard Creek Luke finds $1000 in 50 dollar bills floating by. Using serial numbers it is determined it was part of a million dollar armored car hijack 5 years ago. When the newspaper prints the story folks come from far and wide to look for more money, including the trio of Kate, Dunkirk (who played the black Charger owner in Happy Birthday General Lee) and Phil, Luke's old Marine Corps buddy who saved Luke's life in VietNam when his parachute didn't open. A mysterious man has been following the 3 for some time. Luke starts falling for Kate but Jesse figures out that the 3 stole the million dollars five years ago and when he confronts them Dunkirk and Kate tie Jesse and Daisy up at the farm while the boys and Phil are looking up at Bear Point for the money. Bo gets worried that Jesse isn't responding on the CB and rescues them with Cooter arriving at the farm at the same time. Everybody converges at Bear Point after Luke finds the money. After a big brawl the bad trio is in custody. The mystery man turns up and takes the cash because he is a special investigator with the armored car company. -- Emma Tisdale has two jobs. Besides being Postmistress she works at the Hazzard Gazette. She does some pretty heavy flirting with Jesse when helping him research the original robbery. --Rosco, his car and his police dog get all decked out in cammo! -- Roy Orbison gets caught in the celebrity speedtrap and sings Pretty Woman.

Bye, Bye Boss.....season 3 Digger Jackson escapes from prison and comes to Hazzard to get revenge on Boss for having him thrown in jail for 10 years for moonshining. The Duke boys picked him up hitchiking but Digger held them at gunpoint then tied them up along side the road and took the General Lee. He then robbed a General Store (no, they don't sell Generals) and when store owner Homer Griggs only saw the car and not the driver he thought it was the Duke boys. The Dukes break lose and get picked up by drunk Hobie....yep, Hobie....Boss is so nervous he starts packing a pistol. Lulu is pretty worried about her Chickabiddy. Digger comes to the Boar's Nest and takes Boss and demands $100,00 for his return...the amount Digger would have made on moonshine in 10 years. The Dukes figure out where Digger and Boss are and take 3 horses since the canyon is so rough. They find them at the old Webster place and Digger tries to get away in the General. Daisy stays with Boss but the boys take off after Digger in their one horsepower vehicles and catch him, sending him back to prison. -- Freddie Fender gets caught doing 55 mph in a 54 zone so sings On the Bayou to get the ticket tore up. -- Digger (Charles Napier) is one of the toughest guys on the series. He played Murdock in Rambo II -- Bo, Luke and Daisy all made an impressive jump on their horses. Daisy went first. -- At the beginning Jesse had a little (likely unscripted) stumble when working with Maudeen the Mule. -- When Digger shot Boss's picture it was unexpected that Boss felt pain miles away. -- When the townsfolks were donating for the randsom pay off Lulu said her Chickabiddy always brought out the best in people. Rosco responded "Yea, their money" -- When Rosco said Boss always made him an "equal" partner by giving him 10% Lulu cried and said "that just proves what a saint he is"

I kayaked 3 days in a row but the streak will end today....Too many things to catch up on around the house. I have another kayak trip planned tomorrow. No rain forcast for the next few days. Covid numbers back on the rise. Baseball is still scheduled for the end of July but I'm really starting to doubt It.

I went out of my way to look for it this time but they made no mention of any kind. I think the writers dropped the ball on this one.

You've had such a run of bad luck Spike.....it can only mean one thing....you are due for a really LONG run of good luck.

beer. (I'm not a drinker but I hear craft beer is a big thing nowadays)

Thanks Spike...didn't see any of it. After the delay I couldn't find it on Dish Network.

Wow! Even Golden Girls is no longer safe. It's no more forgive and forget. Tear down George Waahington statues, dynamite Mount Rushmore, defund police, create your own nation in the middle of a city. John Wayne went from being a good guy to a bad guy. Our Dukes were censored and now the Duke is next. What is happening here?!

The Return of Hughie Hogg....season 3 In the opening scene Daisy is riding a horse and Hughie comes along on a fire truck and runs the siren, spooking the horse. The Duke boys save her when the uncontrollable horse runs off. When Hughie donates the fire truck he challenges the boys to join the department and they do. While they are at a false alarm Hughie plants moonshine at the farm and later Rosco and Cletus go to the farm to arrest them but they get away only to later be caught by Hughie's henchman. Hughie hired a fake IRS man to tell Boss he was going to be audited so Boss puts everything he owns in Hughie's name to hide his assets. After Boss realizes he's been tricked he tries to convince Hughie to change his mind but he won't. The Dukes, Boss, Rosco, Cletus and Lulu's sister Hortense team up against Hughie. When Daisy lures Hughie away they break into the newly fortified Boar's Nest and take the safe that has the papers certifying Boss gave his stuff to Hughie. After a chase Boss tore the papers up and kicked Hughie out forever or "until I need him" -- They never mentioned Rosco but if Hortense was Lulu's sister she would be Rosco's sister too.....unless they were half-siblings. -- One of the henchman called Cooter "Mr Goodwrench" LOL. That was something started by General Motors in 1977. Funny thing is...the show had way more Mopars and Fords. -- The opening scene is in daytime and we see a rare sight....all 4 of the General's headlights.

Good to see ya back again!

Sorry to hear about your double dose of bad news Spike. I wish I could help. Watch two Dukes episodes and call me in the morning.

By-Line Daisy Duke.....season 3 On their way to go fishing in Cotton Lake the General Lee ends up in a pond after being run off the road by thieves driving a truck with a stolen tractor in the back. Daisy got a part time job as a reporter with the Hazzard County Gazette and her boss sends her to investigate the rash of tractor thefts in the county. Boss is behind the thefts and the 2 guys in the truck were thieves he hired. He then gets an idea to frame Bo and Luke for the thefts and has the truck with a stolen tractor in it planted at the Duke farm. When the boys are driving it away, Daisy (not knowing it was them) shot out their tire with an arrow and, with her editor watching, took a picture of them getting arrested. Her editor said they wouldn't print it if they could prove the Dukes were innocent before press time. The boys figure out Boss is in it with the tractor thieves and catch them after a lot of shucking and jiving. --Boss made himself the beneficiary of his own life insurance policy! -- The truck the thieves used is the same one that had the stolen Christmas trees in The Great Santa Claus Chase -- I love Jesse's line, "as low as a snake's belly in a wagon rut". It gets used a few other times. -- When Daisy's editor tells her she might even get a by-line for this story she responds "If it's all the same to you, I could use the cash" -- Dottie West sings "Jesse James" and wonders why Boss didn't charge to get in. When he says he's charging ten dollars to get out Waylon has one of my all-time favorite lines "Aint' it nice to know that there's a place in this 'ole world where things never change?"
