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.

The Hazzardville Horror....season 3 A father-son team disguised as plumbers are stealing silver around Hazzard and melting it into bars with their portable smelter that they have stashed in the basement of a house that has long believed to be haunted. They steal Boss's silver that is in the Boar's Nest and of course he blames the Dukes. Mary Lou Pringle comes to Hazzard to fix up the house (to sell it) that she inherited from Uncle Hezekiah Pringle. When the Duke boys come to the house Luke discovers that the house really isn't haunted and after putting 2 and 2 together realize the silver thieves are hidden somewhere inside. Eventually Luke takes Rosco and Cletus there but the silver is gone and Bo is tied up. Meanwhile, the thieves go to the Boar's Nest to steal more silver.....stuff that Boss just brought from his house to keep safe. After Bo and Luke hop in Cletus's car they catch the thieves. -- The episode title is likely inspired by the book and movie from the late 70s, The Amityville Horror. -- Tammy Wynette sings "Rocky Top" in this one. Season 3 finds Rosco's celebrity spedtrap becoming more active. -- I loved the scene where Flash has his paws on the dashboard and when Rosco told him to buckle up for safety he did! -- Also, classic scene when Rosco's car went under a truck, turning it into a convertible and turning Rosco's hat into a convertible too.

What are those?

Great post Spike!

I just found out they arrested 5 people. There was some kind of drug deal gone bad and a girl got beat up in the middle of it all. I'm not sure where the guy who knocked on my door fit in. Usually the most excitement we get in my corner of the sticks involves animals.

Now that I think of it, all I really use is the DVD part anyways.

Maybe I should get one while I still can and hang onto it when this does go bad. What company is that?

One thing I find funny about all this is the curfews. Hmm, let me think here. These folks are shooting cops, setting police stations, police cars and business on fire. They're terrorizing, stealing and vandalizing. Do you really think they're going to say "Ah, shucks. I can't do that stuff anymore because I'm not allowed outside past 9:00."

We just had some excitement in the neighborhood. Some tall guy on drugs knocked on my parents door (a mile away from me) asking for a ride. When my dad said no the guy ran off in the woods behind the house. He ended up at someone else's house and did the same....and another and another. Since we don't get many folks knocking on our doors out in the sticks at night the cops were called in. They ended up looking for him with 4 different cars. I only have one neighbor close to me (different road than my parents) and he called me and said the guy was there and was now coming to my house. When he knocked I didn't answer the door but called the cops to let him know he was here. When the cops came I told them which direction he went. I also called the neighbors in that direction to warn them. No word yet if they caught him. I like helping folks but when when someone is on drugs they can be a little unpredictable.

Hmmm, I remember you asking before but don't remember the responses.

Now that's a funny one right there!

Shucks. We put new floors in so emptied out the living room. I was real careful to mark every wire on the satellite, VCR, TV, Wii and all that other stuff. Now that I've hooked everything back up the VCR isn't working. It's probably something simple but I'm a complicated guy who hates technology (oxymoron?) and I can't figure it out after trying everything. How appropriate that my next episode is Hazzardville Horror.....not being able to see Dukes is horrific. Guess I'll wait for the Mrs to get home. Maybe she can figure it out....

I'm a bit concerned. My best friend just moved there. He doesn't have a Charger though so I suspect he is fine
