Keep hijacking.....this is what I was hoping for....the more episode watching, the more better!!!

Good to hear from you. I admire your passion for writing. Good luck with your new project.

I watched Star Trek when it was first on TV and have seen some of it since then but I get them all mixed up...just like I do with Star Wars. I'm really into Lord of the Rings even though I didn't get interested until the fourth movie came out. It's finally warming up today. I'm heading out to work on next year's firewood supply. I'm going to let the fire in the wood stove go out. It's going to hit 60 degrees.

Great minds think alike. I agree. It did seem longer even though it wasn't.

Thanks for trying. I don't think about it too often but I sometimes wonder what he looks like. I think there was more than one.....not sure.

Road Pirates....season 2 -- Boss buys $100,000 worth of stolen TV sets for $10,000. Before he can get them the semi truck delivering them is hijacked. Boss arrests Bo, Luke and Cletus for stealing them but the real thief was the guy who stole them to begin with. He and his 2 henchmen have been highjacking a lot of trucks lately and Luke sneaks in the back of one and follows the bad guys to their hideaway. He gets caught and takes off on a dirt bike and (as bad Duke luck would have it) all 3 bad guys are better than Emma Tisdale on 2 wheels but Luke gets away and the bad boys go to jail. -- Cletus was Auxiliary Deputy before but in this one he is Reserve Deputy. He is a deputy because "Doc Petticord decided to separate Enos from his appendix" -- Bo and Luke rigged up a Nitros Oxide System (NOS) to Cletus's patrol car. Good thing they did because they needed it when the 3 had to jump a creek to escape from Rosco. -- After he saw Boss and Rosco fall in wet cement Cooter took off his hat, looked up to Heaven and said "Thank you Sir for a perfect day" -- At the end when the #1 bad guy fell into Cletus's arms after a bad dirt bike jump catapulted him into a tree Jesse said "That's one of your better catches" -- Daisy pinned Cletus's badge back on. It looked like he was squirming because she was so close but it was because he was in pain from getting stuck. -- This was a good episode although I wouldn't call it one of my favorites. There weren't as many twists and funny quotes as usual. Since I love dirt bikes so much I loved the ending.

Yep, that's him. I cant figure out how to get this black background off the quotes I've been doing lately.

And shows how much class you have. There are a lot of grudge holders out there in this 'ol world.

Thanks Spike. I thought so.

Snowing on and off today but not sticking and it's real windy. That's good because the wind brought down a tree that was leaning on another tree after my unsuccessful attempt to cut it down. I'm just hanging out today. I think I overdid it yesterday so my body needs a rest from firewood and trail making.

Bo calling the sheep hairy pigs was pretty funny. Thanks for adding that Hoss. I didn't look at the mobsters as cartoonist at all until the car chase scene at the end and how little of a fight they put up when Cletus dropped the net on them.

The Meeting ....season 2 -- We start out with Rosco in the pond after chasing the Duke boys when he caught them by using his new radar gun. Old friend and current mobster Black Jack Bender tells Boss "I'm as legit as you" then offers him money to have a meeting in the jailhouse with mob leaders (umm...toy manufacturers) from around the country. After getting caught spying on them Bo and Luke get the kiss of death and this episode gets more intense than any previous one. The Dukes don't seem to mind. They have fun outsmarting the mob and staying ahead of them on every turn.....sometimes literally and in the end Cletus helps them put a net over the bad boys and haul them off to the FBI in Atlanta. Those Dukes aren't afraid of anybody! --Cletus is now Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff. Enos is not in this one. -- When the Dukes and Cooter found an arsenal of automatic weapons Cooter said "I don't know about y'all but I don't think those city boys come to Hazzard to hunt possums." -- Bender was on the phone at the Boar's Nest talking in code to a fellow mobster, calling him mother and being mean. Daisy wondered how he could be "so nice to me and so rude to his mother" -- When the Dukes made a plan to fight the mob Waylon said "Ain't that nice...you just don't see many families having fun together nowadays" -- As Hoss pointed out earlier, Rocky Marlow from Deputy Dukes is in this one. He's the toughest of the mob bosses. They are all meeting to figure out how to stop their sons from taking over the businesses. -- Bo jumped the creek with mobsters pumping bullets into the windshield...nice! -- Early in the ep he jumped over the mobsters in a broke down car without even knowing they were there until after the jump.....only in Hazzard. -- I remember when this episode was first on. I was pretty surprised that the writers added this level of intensity....The leaders of all the mobs in America....wow!

I'm sure it wasn't in an episode. I'd remember that. My first job was in a fur post. I got paid 10 cents for every muskrat I skinned.

No thanks. I've made it 60 years without anything like that and I'll make it thorough tomorrow without one too.

Which is good because if Deputy Hoss wasn't on the job Hobie would build a still around here and probably get us all in trouble with the revenuers.

Some people aren't happy no matter what you do. Spike, you need to get a shirt that says "Quit complaining and put a Dukes DVD in." I had a great day today. I'm building more trails for my dirt bike. Retirement is sweet!

The Rustlers.....season 2 -- Burl and Sherry Tolliver are struggling to keep the farm but if their super fast horse Manassas can win the "Mrs JD Hogg Stakes" they can save it. With the help of Cletus, Rosco steals the horse. Then two rustlers steal it from Boss and Boss thinks the Dukes took it. Boss then teams up with the Dukes and then Bo, Luke and Cooter steal it from the rustlers. With Bo and Cooter distrating the rustlers Luke rides the horse back just in time to make the registration deadline and later Manassas wins the big race. -- The big story in this episode is that in real life Sheriff Rosco falls in love with Sherry Tolliver (Dorothy Collier) and they marry. -- The episode starts out with the 3 Duke men singing Amazing Grace heading down the road in the General. -- Burl Tolliver is played by country music legend Mel Tillis who really did stutter all the time....unless he was singing. -- After driving the General beside Manassas to see how fast he was going Enos said "I knew General Lee was going to win Sheriff" lol -- Poor Lulu. After the Rolls Royce thing didn't work out Boss bought her a mink coat that ended being possum fur and when she went out in the rain it smelled up the whole county. -- I bet they named a character Widow Baxley because of Director Paul Baxley. -- I sure would have loved to hop into the scene where the 4 Dukes and Cooter were eating watermellon on the porch. -- Fantastic episode and Waylon ended it well "Someone once said that nice guys finish last. Well, not always. Not in Hazzard County."

Me neither but if I lived in Hazzard County I'd probably be more forgiving because I'd be about a million times happier than I am now.....and I'm pretty happy now.

Here's a couple tough ones for Hoss...or anybody. 1) Who does all the talking about the upcoming episode before the opening song? 2) In the scene with Lulu where she has the gout at the end of The Rustlers is that an old picture of James Best on the wall?

I've never owned a cell phone, ATM card or even credit card. I wouldn't even know how to send a text message. My wife has all those things. I don't fault folks for having that stuff but I love being old school.

I sure give you a lot of credit Joseph. When you set your mind on something you don't give up easy. I bet 'ol Cooter has been a little too busy lately pulling Hobie, Hoss and Meadowmufn out of the ditch.

I agree. But of course it has its benefits. I think the bad outweighs the good and that's why I've never used it. I did start an account once with the plan to use it only for Dukes stuff but it wouldn't let me finalize the account without giving a cell phone number and I've never owned a cell phone.
