Our daughter and her family will be staying with us for 4 days (Fri-Mon) so I probably won't be on much the next few days. I hope everybody has a great weekend.

Georgia definitely was the best. The show was so good though they could have filmed it in the tundra and it would have succeeded.

Today is his birthday? I sure hope he comes around again. I miss you Hobie. Happy birthday!

Lawman of the Year.....season 5 While Rosco is throwing Daisy in jail for speeding through a 15 mph sign (that he quick-changed from 55) Coy and Vance stop to help a couple of thieves fix a flat tire but they aren't very friendly and Vance noticed a pistol in their car. They are on the way to Hazzard because Boss hired them to rob a jewelry store after the owner sold fake jewelry to Lulu. At Rosco's speedtrap Miz Tisdale rode a wheelie and then handed the sheriff a letter saying that he has been nominated for Lawman of the Year. He wasn't too surprised since he nominated himself. She explains to him that he has to be nicer if he wants to win so the first thing he does is let Daisy out of jail. He then starts treating all the citizen on the street nice and even tells Cletus to stop tricking people with things like movable plastic fire hydrants and fake citations. Rosco knows that a secret observer from the award committee is running around somewhere so he is really turning on the charm. Boss instructs the thieves to go through the underground sewer lines to get into the jewelry store but they literally hit a cement wall. Boss sends Enos and Cletus to arrest the boys but the lawmen get a little cement problem themselves. When they fall in the wet stuff, Coy and Vance get away. They go to the post office and find a wanted poster of one of the bad guys so they know they're up to no good. The bad guys go to Boss's gravel pit to pick up dynamite to bust through the wall. After Daisy catches them they tie her up and when Coy and Vance show up, they lock all 3 Dukes in the shack but Jesse and Cooter rescue them. The bad guys blow a hole in the wall and strip the store clean but instead of giving the stash to Boss they double cross him and drive off. Six vehicles go after them, the General, Dixie, Cooter's wrecker, Jesse's truck, Boss with Rosco and Enos with Cletus. They catch them and throw them in jail. Later in town, Miz Tisdale showed up on her dirt bike with an important letter announcing the award. Enos and Cletus both received it. It turned out that she was the secret observer from the committee.

Stingray was a product of Stephen J Cannell of A-Team fame. It would have been better if Ray would have done some hood slides over his Vette. Come to think of it, Charlie's Angels would have been better if Farrah would have done some hood slides over her Mustang.

Now, that is one super hot......automobile. The car would look a lot better if that girl would get out of the way and Emma Tisdale would hop on the hood.

Here's another coincidence....I hadn't seen a Stingray episode in quite awhile and just got an itch to watch one last night. The TV series only lasted 2 years (1985 and 86) but I really liked it. It starred Nick Mancuso and he drove a black 1965 hardtop Stingray.

A lot of what you see on the internet is a bunch of garbage so maybe that's not so bad. Since the HazzardNet is the best website on the internet, it's a good thing it didn't get affected. MM guards it as fiercely as Miz Tisdale guards the mail.

Garrett is probably upset.

I also like it any time mid 70s Mustangs pop up since a 1975 was my first car. You see them a few times on Dukes but they never spent much time showing one..no bad guys ever drove one or anything.....quite a few older Mustangs though. I like those too. They probably avoided them because they weren't that fast....Farrah Fawcett had a hot one on Charlie's Angels though.

Do you see many of those over there? I would assume they are like older Corvette's would be over here. You see them on the road but not that often. Do you ever see many Corvette's over there, even newer ones?

I didn't know that. I'm glad he didn't get the job. I don't think he would have done as well as Christopher Mayer....assuming Christopher was his competition since they both have dark hair.

I just watched "Dukes Strike it Rich" and the Dukes were talking about building a lake on their property and buying a yacht for it. I bet that would be your favorite vehicle if they would let you be the Skipper!

Dukes Strike it Rich.....season 5 A young couple (the Morton's) buy property sight unseen that ajoins Duke property. They are devastated when they see it because Boss advertised it as farm land but it is a swamp. While Cooter is distracting Boss and Rosco by towing Boss's car for a phony windshield wiper recall, Coy and Vance flip through Boss's records and learn about his scam. After a chase the boys get caught and get thrown in jail but get out right away and meet Jesse, Daisy and the Morton's at an old still sight and come up with a plan. They melted some miscellaneous gold into a real nugget and then made a bunch of fake nuggets out of lead and gold spray paint and dressed up and acted like rich people. Coy and Vance planted the fake gold on their property and also the Morton's, in the stream that goes through both. They lured Boss and Rosco there and when they found a few nuggets Boss wanted the Morton's property back. Later, Rosco found the fake nugget making operation in Cooter's garage. Boss was out at the Duke farm talking to the Morton's, and Rosco headed out there and tried to call Boss on the CB but his radio sparked and popped and was ruined. Boss gave the Morton's back twice the money they paid for the land and then he left for Capitol City to officially record the deed. Then Rosco made it to the farm to tell Boss the nuggets were fake but he resorts to plan B and tries to catch Boss before he can get to Capitol City. Thankfully, the boys and the General Lee were able to slow down Rosco just enough to save the day for the Morton's.

Any dirt bike that Miz Tisdale drove. I also love Jesse's truck and Black Tillie. How about you Skipper?

Sure do....sorry that my private messages aren't working. I think we might be buying a cheap tablet and not attaching it to my wife's plan (just using WiFi) so there's a chance I might get on FB again. Did you screenshot and post my message? Did anybody respond? I'm going to write an episode review right now but I'll get back to you.

Happy birthday on Sunday Cooter. I hope you can make it over to my house for our traditional pancake and oil breakfast to celebrate.

I have the largest knife that Buck ever made. Believe it or not, Buck named it "The General". I'm guessing I've had it about 35 years.

Well, this is good timing. I just started watching season 5 and Enos is back in town......and today is Sonny's birthday. Happy birthday buddy. Possum on a gumbush.....you still look 20 years younger!

The New Dukes.....season 5 Bo and Luke leave Hazzard after getting an opportunity to fulfill their lifelong dream of joining the NASCAR circuit. Boss is so happy that he even shares his meal and champagne with Rosco and he never shares food with him. Jesse and Daisy are just the opposite of happy since they miss Bo and Luke so much. But when the new Dukes show up Daisy and Jesse are now happy and Boss no longer is. Coy had been a test driver in Detroit and Vance was in the Merchant Marines and they hadn't been in Hazzard for 6 years. Before you know it Enos is showing up in the courthouse in his uniform and everybody but Boss is happy about that. Boss isn't pleased because due to a regulation he has to hire him back after his stint in California. (I was happy too since he was my favorite character at the time). Boss hired 2 bad guys and bought a tank vehicle called the mean green machine. The first thing they did was bust through the front wall of the Capitol City Bank and rob it at gunpoint. Coy, Vance and Daisy took after it but their blue car was destroyed with flames and the machine got away. The good news for the new boys was that the General Lee was available. Boss bought a printing press and planned on using the bad guys and the machine to steal the government printing plates that make $100 bills when they come through town. Rosco planted some of the stolen Capitol City money in the General Lee and after a chase arrested the boys for robbery. Enos sold the car he bought in California to bail them out. The Dukes figured out what Boss's plans were and spring into action after hopping into all 3 of their vehicles but they're too late to stop the plates from being stolen. The bad guys then double cross Boss and tie him and Rosco up but they get rescued. When the bad guys realize they are going to get caught, they take the machine off their trailer and bust through Enos and Cletus's roadblack. A few minutes later Coy flew the General Lee over the machine and Vance dropped some lit dynamite in. The Hazzard Gazette put heroes Coy and Vance on the front page and Daisy put a kiss on Enos's cheek. When the Dukes went back to get the mean green machine it had mysteriously vanished.

Since I'm not positive that I am quitting FB please use this one. I made a few changes. Thanks for all your help cousin.

You might be right but I'm so bad with technology that I'll have to learn more first. It just seems like it's more than a coincidence that I didn't have any trouble with the tablet for the several years that I have owned it and then started having problems as soon as I started using FB.

Well, the Facebook adventure was interesting but it's over. It was fun but also troublesome. I had all kinds of problems with my tablet after I started using FB and it got progressively worse. I went to click on something called "my story" last night and the tablet crashed and is now unusable. The last few days all kinds of warnings have been popping up so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. We have this laptop that we seldom use but now that I have to use it, I'm not getting on FB. The tablet was old so it wasn't a huge loss but I would hate for something to happen to this. Robert, could you please get on the group I started and explained what happened. I would appreciate it if you tell them that I am deleting my facebook account but can be found here on the HN forums if anybody wants me.

It was probably a leftover one from the Perseid Meteor Shower from earlier this month. Strays can last for a couple weeks later after the peak that was on Aug 11-12. Of course it could have been just a loner....most meteors are. Considering that it is still August my bet would be that it was from the Perseids, based in the constellation Perseus and the result of a comet named Swift-Tuttle.

I love your Rosco impersonation Spike. You sound just like him.
