Great point. If you want to make a first impression here just show up with a General Lee. It's always a pretty effective dramatic entrance.

If MM can't fix it I'll call Cooter on the CB. I think he's working on that new General Lee that RHoughton just towed into town.

Fantastic work Roth!

That reminds me. I didn't check to see if I'm still in first place in your NASCAR fantasy league. I'm gone.

Happy birthday Wednesday cousin Coy! If you make it back to Hazzard tomorrow stop by the Boar's Nest to celebrate. We'll all be there. Hoss is paying for the celebration.

Welcome to the HazzardNet. We hope you stay around a long time. It would be really exciting If you would update us on what happens to this Lee. Will you restore it? Sell it? Both? I wish I could help but Hoss would likely be your best bet. If you would be willing to give more information that might help. Where did you buy it? Were you able to learn anything about its past? The serial number will probably be your best bet to get information. Thanks for posting that. The chances that it was on the show are pretty slim since there were a lot of them built by private citizens. At Dukes' height of popularity I bet there was a GL in nearly every county in America. Of course, you never know until you research it. I wish TimDuke was still on the HazzardNet. He lives in the Cleveland area and knows a lot about the show cars. You must be a pretty big fan to buy this. Since you're a big fan we want to hear more about your love of the show.

And Arnold was called Dutch in the movie Predator. When I was a kid the bigger boys would grab the smaller ones and put them in a headlock and rub the top of their heads with their fists. It was often playful but it hurt when they pressed hard with their knuckles. They called it a dutch rub. I don't know where the name came from.

I want to move to the South!

Today I got my dirt bike out for the second time this year. And I watched the best Duke dirt bike episode...."The Fugitive". I can't believe they didn't have Miz Tisdale on there riding wheelies. Boss was. The weather is supposed to turn bad tomorrow.

Thanks for everything you have done through all these years to keep this place going. You are my hero MM. We love and appreciate you and your passion for all things Hazzard. Since you founded this place it has been the best website on the internet and always will be.

Hey there Tony! How have you been? I hope you're doing well. You're right about the cars. However there is a price to pay for everything. When thinking about the loss of those cars realize that they weren't the valuable classics back then that they are today. Nobody would make a show today if it meant destroying 300 Corvettes from the 1950s. Also consider what came from losing those Chargers. One of the most iconic televisions shows in human history brought joy to millions (dare I say a couple billion) people for years and here we are 40 years later and many of them are still finding happiness and many fans who haven't even been born will someday enjoy it. Sure, the glory days of Dukes are never coming back and fan numbers decrease with time (like all iconic shows do) but the Dukes will outlive us currrect fans in some form or another. For Charger fans it can be difficult to think about those cars but look at it this way. Their loss led a fellow Charger to climb to the top of the mountain as the most famous and recognizable car in history.....the General Lee. I doubt anything will ever replace it.

That is a bit shocking but I'm glad you two are okay. Do whatever you have to do to keep it that way and keep us posted. Maybe you need a vicious watchdog like Velvet Ears to protect you. The cat might help a little but a highly trained police attack dog like Flash can be valuable in keeping you safe......as long as you can wait until after nap time. Edit: I should add that is a GORGOUS cat. I'd keep it too.

My wife has been looking at the local social media sites for a dog and found a yellow lab that was 44 miles from our house and it's name is Bo Duke. When she told me about it yesterday I said "You're not going to believe this but today is John's birthday." Unfortunately we're looking for a small dog so didn't call about it.

Hey there dukesonline! We hope to be hearing a lot more from you.

Since Jesse Duke's Ridge Raiders are going to win your NASCAR fantasy league this year you probably wouldn't watch as much NASCAR anyways because you're so mad that you're going to finish second.

Dutch elm disease is here now. I'm surprised to hear that it started in a different continent. I shouldn't have been surprised though. These things often work like that. I only had 4 elm trees and so far 2 are still alive....as far as I know. We'll see if leaves pop out this spring. I'll know real soon.

I'm sitting out here in the backyard enjoying the first campfire of the year. It's dark out and I can see a lot of stars but I'm not even paying attention to them despite my love of astronomy. Tonight I'm just sitting here thinking of what a lucky person I am. I wish everybody could be so lucky. I love campfires. There's just something so relaxing about them. The ash trees are dying off here in Pennsylvania so I've been cutting them up for next year's firewood or else the wood is just going to go to waste. I don't have a lot of ash trees....most of my woods is maple...but it's a shame to see them dying from a bug called the emerald ash borer. Hopefully my maple trees will never get a similar problem or my woods will become a field.

On Monday John will turn 59. 7 days later so will I. It's hard to believe we're the same age Denver Pyle was when Dukes came out. He did look older than 59. One more year in our 50s. After that we should probably start acting a little more grown up. But then again, one of my favorite sayings is: You're only young once but you can be immature forever. I suspect John would agree. Happy birthday Bo. You've brought millions of folks world-wide much joy!

He's going to need it with folks like me and Hobie causing trouble!

I'm in that same busy boat. I'll check it out later. Good to hear from you again Matt!

*mutters to himself hoping MM doesn't hear* Is the fox really going to be guarding the henhouse?

We hope you had a good birthday today Lulu. You are one beautiful and classy lady. And you are greatly missed.
