Thanks Hoss. I'll tell my wife. She's a big fan of Fleetwood Mac.

My wife is practically fully recovered but I've taken a turn for the worse. Last night I started to develop chest congestion and it got bad fast. My cough is only moderate but my chest is real heavy....just hoping to stay out of the hospital at this rate. I hope it doesn't get worse. This is day 7 and I only had mild chest congestion the first 2 days so I thought I had dodged that bullet but Covid is a real trickster. Chest congestion is the most dangerous part of this thing so the big challenge is here.

That's a pretty neat coincidence that you would see that at nearly the same time I watched The Great Bank Robbery. Homer Sneed and Bib Tarkey were the 2 firefighters. Homer Griggs owned the rural general store but I can't think of the other 2 without checking my notebook. I'm sure I'll kick myself when you tell me.

That sounds like what happened to us. It really doesn't matter how careful you are. If the people around you aren't careful you are in the danger zone too. I wish him well. Please keep me posted as to how he's doing.

The Great Bank Robbery....season 4 Boss fires his janitor, Jesse's old friend Clarence Stovall, just one day before he is eligible for a pension after 30 years. Before he leaves Clarence takes his $30,000 pension money anyways, stealing it from the bank vault and when he shows up at the Duke farm they find out about it and convince him to take the money back. Rosco sees the money in the General Lee and after the boys get away from him, he tells Boss about it. Boss doesn't know the money the boys have is from his bank but figures it out after calling all the other banks in the area. Clarence gives Bo and Luke the bank key so they can put the money back before Boss notices but they get caught then get away and head back again to still sight #1 to regroup. Later, Jesse starts a safe controlled fire in a Hazzard business as a distraction so Bo, Luke and Clarence can sneak the money back in the vault. When Duke boys threaten to tell the townsfolks that his bank is easy to break into, causing Boss to worry about a run on it, Boss decides to give Clarence his pension and throws a party at the Boar's Nest and awards him with a broken watch. -- Cletus and his car ended up in the water 3 times in this one, twice early in the episode. -- "I swear, if it rained soup Cletus's bowl would be upside down" --Waylon -- Boss "Rosco, you have splinters in the windmills of your mind"....a happy Rosco "oh, that's poetic" -- Jesse didn't like it when Clarence was ready to give up. "Dunfur" isn't a word he liked. (done for) lol

Just got a call from our daughter in Viginia who had just spent a week with us. Her and her husband both have covid-19. They both are sick now with what feels like colds. They're both teachers so don't have to worry about missing any work. Both grandsons are fine so far.

Rough day for my father-in-law. Today is their 60th anniversary and he hasn't been able to see my mother-in-law for 4 months because she has dementia and is in a nursing home. They didn't want to put her in a home but two years ago she kept escaping, even in snow storms so it just wasn't safe anymore. It's pretty sad. They were such a great couple. My wife is pretty sad today about it.

farm (I think the only chicken's (rooster's) name we ever heard on Dukes was Rodney)

Would you want to stay there if that guy leaves forever or is there just too many other problems?

The Fugitive.....season 4 Mindy Lou Hale shows up in Hazzard on her way to nursing school in Macon. She needs money for school and wants to sell T-shirts at the annual Tri-County Motocross race at the Hazzard Fairgrounds. While Boss and Rosco are talking about Boss's latest venture of stealing dirt bikes and repainting them to sell, Mindy Lou shows up. Boss thinks she heard what he was talking about (even though she didn't) so he has Rosco arrest her. She got help from the Dukes in getting away and they took her back to the farm where they figured out what Boss was up to. When Jesse helped Mindy Lou to get across the county line Rosco arrests him and since Mindy Lou feels bad she comes back to help. The Dukes figure out where Boss's workers are stashing and painting the dirt bikes and eventually bring Cooter there to overtake and tie up the workers. When Boss gets there he doesn't realize that the 3 people he is talking to are Cooter, Bo and Daisy since they have painter's clothes and masks on. He confesses to a tape recorder that Cooter rigged up to a paint sprayer and Mindy Lou goes off to nursing school and Bo won the race and the $500 prize. -- Johnny Paycheck sang "Take This Job and Shove It". Boss wasn't exactly crazy about the song. --I love dirt bikes so this is one of my favorite episodes. The dirt bike jump with Luke and Mindy Lou on the same bike was a great stunt....and a tough one. I loved Boss on his white dirt bike....what skills! -- When Rosco told Boss he couldn't find the Dukes and Mindy Lou, Rosco said "They weren't anywhere I looked". Boss responded "Well, have you tried anywhere you haven't looked?" -- cool thing about Johnny Paycheck. Just this spring I met a guy who was a guitar player in his band.

Either way you'll be happier.

We wish him well Hoss. I've known a few Paralympic athletes. In fact, I'm friends with a guy who was the head coach of the USA basketball team a couple Olympics ago. I really admire those folks.

Now I've lost all sense of taste and smell....pretty decent day though....except real tired and taking a lot of naps. My wife is practically back to normal.

I'm not sure where the Duke boys are but when they hear about this they will likely make a quick return....unless Jesse calls them on the CB and says he's doing fine without them.

I guess this quote applies to our day today as well. I do seem to be over my cough and chills but I was really exhausted all day even with a lot of sleep.

Unless the guy's DVD player doesn't work. This thing is about 25 years old so it's no surprise. The door won't open to put the DVD in. My wife has another one stashed away in the closet. It's old too but must work since she's not the type to keep something around that is useless (even though she keeps me).

Well Spike, look at it this way. When you do find your next place you will appreciate it so much more because of what you have been through. And when you appreciate things you are a much happier person. This jerk that has been terrorizing everybody will never be happy so you will end up the winner. It's like Waylon always said "On the HazzardNet we tend to like happy endings." (or something like that)

That's awesome that you are always looking for a Dukes connection. You are a true fan.

It was good hearing from you again ralmcg. How have you been lately?

point

That is a good point. I bet that guy will start up the reviews again tomorrow. Just a hunch.

It's a bit depressing how slow things are here on the HazzardNet.

Are you going to look at a third one anytime soon? It's always nice to have a cool wife. My wife keeps her cool better than I do but it sounds like yours has mine beat in the cool department.
