I thought about that!

Baa Baa White Sheep....season 3 Boss's Great Aunt Emma Lou Hogg just died last week and the reading of the will is getting ready to take place. Boss is worried because he had his identical twin brother, Abraham Lincoln Hogg declared legally dead 5 years ago. Boss illegally unsealed the will early and found out Emma left half of her 100 acres to Abe. In the meantime, Bo was away for a weekend with the USMC Reserves and Luke helped a guy fix his little car and the guy, a forger named Benny the Quill, gave Luke a check for 50 dollars that was no good and got Luke thrown in jail. Abe shows up and even Rosco thinks he's Boss, despite the black suit and black Cadillac convertible. The first person Abe visits is Jesse. Abe is generous, honest, religious and charitable, just the opposite of Boss, so he is Jesse's friend. Boss let Luke out of jail to bring Benny back because he needed the signature of Abe forged to get his half of the estate. When Luke and Daisy brought him back, Abe showed up for a reunion with Boss. Later, Abe heads to Finchburg but the trip was a set up to get Abe arrested so he couldn't make it to the reading of the will. Daisy and Luke rescue Abe and make a dramatic entrance back to Hazzard when the General's brakes go out and it flies through the air and crashes through the wall into the will reading, exposing the fact that Boss, who had been switching black and white clothes to trick Judge Drewton, was running a scam....with a little help from Flash who loved Abe and hated Boss. Of course Abe ended up donating his half to charity and Boss and Rosco spent a night in the Finchburg jail. --We get a glimpse of Abe's driver's license which shows us that he and Boss are 5'5" tall, 200 lbs and were born on April 6, 1926 --When Luke and Daisy pick up Flash we get a look at Rosco and Mama's house. --Daisy ends up in quicksand....a bit scarey --I liked that Bo was in the USMC Reserves because I was at the time too....Bo's hair wasn't short enough though.

I just got my Dukes of Hazzard Unofficial Companion book in the mail. Wow! How have I lived without this thing for so long?! It was written in 1998 by David Hofstede and is 350 pages long. I'm not an internet shopper but my wife is so she ordered it with a 20 dollar Amazon gift card I got for my birthday last month. The book is paperback and looks brand new and only cost 17 dollars. Fantastic! If you don't have this...get it!

We had some pretty bad storms last night. I was real lucky since I didn't lose my satellite signal until a couple minutes after the Supercross dirt bike races. For awhile there I thought for sure I'd miss the last couple minutes.

My wife just saw on social media that the cartoon Paw Patrol has been cancelled because one of the cartoon characters is a cop. I think it's a joke but nowadays you never can tell.

I don't know if it's just a white people thing anymore. Defund police mentality is popping up all over and now police shows like COPS that have been around for 30 years are starting to get banned from television. This is not simply political correctness. It is insanity. It doesn't matter if the cop is black, white, Asian or Hispanic. If he or she is a cop they're a bad person. I suppose we should be careful here since we're walking on thin ice regarding terms of service and what we can say. Sorry if I just challenged where the line is drawn.

Uncle Boss....season 3 After Rosco fails to catch the Duke boys Boss summons his nephew Hughie Hogg to get them in trouble and take the farm. He comes into Hazzard in his white VW bug dressed exactly like Boss. Hughie's first 2 schemes fail but the third does better. Daisy gets framed for having moonshine in her trunk and gets thrown in jail. Hughie knew that her cousins would break her out of jail to attend a wedding she was looking forward to her so he secretly filmed Bo busting her out. He showed the film to Boss and Rosco and it made Rosco look lazy so Rosco teamed up with the Dukes to stop Boss and Hughie from taking the tape to the State Police in Capitol City. Knowing that a strong magnetic field would erase the video tape, Luke got the idea of going to the junkyard. After coralling the VW in the right spot Cooter picked it up with the giant magnet and then let them go. Boss and Hughie were embarrassed when they showed the fuzzy video to State Police in Capitol City and Boss sent Hughie packing. -- Cooter mentions Conyers in this one. -- I think this is the third time we've seen the General crossing the creek that it went across when Cooter jacked it up. -- Enos is in this episide and he's supposed to be in California and Daisy's yellow car is back too....episodes out of order.

It will be a pretty quiet radio if police departments disappear. I'm glad nobody got hurt MM.

I haven't run across the outhouse scene yet so it must not be in the first 2 seasons. I'll find it eventually.

The Late JD Hogg....season 3 Boss forecloses on the Duke farm after Rosco and Cletus make them late with the mortgage payment. Jesse accidently breaks the glass on the bank door so all 3 Duke men end up in jail. Right after that Doc Ronald Carney tells Boss he only has 2 weeks to live. Boss starts to worry that he might not make it to Heaven so he starts doing all kind of good deeds including letting the Dukes out and mailing off a bunch of charitable letters, documents and donations. Doc Carney finds out the person who is terminal is actually named Boggs from Hamiltonville and Boss is fine. Waylon says "That ain't gonna matter 'cause when Boss realizes what he's given away, that'll kill him". Carney can't get ahold of Boss so he keeps the charity drive going. In the meantime 2 bad guys steal the postal truck for the Social Security checks. The truck also has Boss's letters in it. When the Dukes tell Boss he's going to live at first he's happy but then sad. Bo and Luke catch the bad guys and Jesse was nice enough to tell Boss he'd still make mortgage payments anyways even though the mail went through anyways and he wouldn't have to since Boss was deeding the farm to him. -- Flash dislike Boss so much that he even barks when he hears his voice on the CB -- There are 3 episodes in a row that feature Boss, this one, Uncle Boss next and then Baa Baa White Sheep

I remember the scenes but as usual can't think of which episodes.

Oh man, this is the worst my lower back has hurt in a long time. I have to figure out someway to make my kayak more comfy. Of course it didn't help that I was hauling, splitting and stacking firewood for 5 hours after kayaking yesterday. I'm not doing anything physical today.

The local television station in Erie Pennsylvania does a "Good Kid" segment every week. Today they showed a kid named Robby Gordon who lives in Chapmanville Pennsylvania. Robby has always been a big help to elderly neighbors and has always wanted to be on the volunteer fire department. He just turned 14 so is now finally eligible to join the FD. In the middle of the story Robby hopped on a golf cart and tooted the horn. You might have guessed it.....The golf cart was orange, had an 01 on the side and the horn played Dixie!

Just cheap Sun Dolphins from Wal-Mart. So, what's up with this latest trend of cities wanting to defund police departments. Don't they understand that if Rosco, Enos and Cletus weren't running around in police cars our favorite show would be downright boring.

If it weren't for all my family here I'd definitely move south...actually I'd move to the closest location I could find to the original Dukes farm.

And in This Corner, Luke Duke....season 3 After watching Luke lift a heavy mirror in the Boar's Nest, the manager of boxer Catfish Lee, winner of 33 consecutive fights, stirs up trouble and Catfish causes Luke to break the $3000 mirror. Luke, a USMC boxing champion, gets thrown in jail and Boss and Catfish's manager plan to get Luke and Catfish box in public. Luke doesn't want to but changes his mind since they would lose the farm if he doesn't. He almost changes his mind again when he knocks out Cooter in a sparing match. Two other bad guys kidnap Luke just before the fight because Boss would have to give up the $7000 fight money if Luke doesn't show up but Rosco and Jesse rescue him and get him there on time. Luke loses the first 3 rounds but KOs Catfish in round 4 after Jesse's inspirational talk. While the fight was going on the other 2 bad guys steal the 7 grand out of Boss's trunk but Bo and Luke catch all 4 bad guys when the General jumps through an old barn and collapses it on top of them. -- It would have been funny to call Luke The Redneck Rocky in the posters. -- Cletus actually made a pretty good referee despite getting the rights that are read when getting arrested with the pre fight rules. --Daisy also did a good job with the National Anthem. -- Didn't we look this up before and find out that Catfish (Sonny Shields) was really a pro boxer? When Bo said he'd fight him Luke said Catfish would drop him like a dirty shirt yet Bo looked pretty evenly matched with Luke in the Carnival of Thrills fight.

Erie County Pennsylvania just got denied going into the green phase. On one hand our county exectuve campaigned for it. On the other hand she kept saying how bad our numbers are and how nobody is social distancing. I guess the governor listened to her doomsday talk. Where I come from that's called shooting yourself in the foot.

I took my grandson kayaking in Conneaut Ohio yesterday. We went right beside a 1000 foot freightliner called the Edgar B Speer. It was so cool to be floating in the water right beside something that huge. My county had 31 new covid cases yesterday, a new record for us. Beautiful day so far. I'm going on a solo kayak trip today and watching dirt bike races later.

Wow! Now it's my turn to say I never thought of that. Reversing the tape sure makes sense.
