It looks like the Dukes favorite driver has another birthday coming up on Tuesday. Happy birthday Cale!

We dodged that snow here in NW Pennsylvania. Everybody hates those Monday races but I guess they have no choice.

I appreciate you figuring that out Hoss. I've been crunching those numbers for a few days and had calculated five mph but that was with a 2 mph margain of error. I know you're better at math so I'm taking your word for it. I'm not sure which is making me more nervous, having to jump that far or go that fast. I'm thinking I should make the jump before I turn 58 next month while I'm still much younger. Another thing I thought of. What happens if I get way up in the air (say 4 inches into the jump) and have to go to the bathroom? Or what if I get hungry? It's not like there's a fast food drive through around that high in the air. Which reminds me, we calculated distance and speed but not height. Could you crunch some more numbers and see how high I'll be?

Awesome! Are you a fan?

I usually pick too many Pirates so I know how you feel about loyalty. I picked 4 this time and even Andrew McCutchen who isn't even a Pirate anymore.

As I recall I was supposed to be born on April 4 so if I would have only been 4 days late instead of 11 days late me and John would both be turning 58 on April 8. Don't ask me how I figured this out but if I would have been born on my due date I would have turned 44 on 4-4-04.

Man I need to avoid this movie!

We love it when someone new comes into town so please stay awhile and hit us with as many questions as you want.

I'm sorry I didn't join your league but I couldn't make the draft and I hate having the computer pick for me. I'm only in one league this year and it's a public league so I don't know anybody. That's less embarrassing if you lose but not as gratifying if you win. You'll be happy to know I have three Cubs. My number two pick was Kris Bryant. I also have Lester and Happ. This might be the best draft I've ever had so I'm excited.

Thanks for the info Garrett. I always love your NASCAR updates. I hope you get time to keep up on them this year.....I was surprised to hear that about Lowe's.

I'm starting to have second thoughts about jumping my dirt bike on my 58th birthday. I did some calculations and the toy is 4 inches long and I'm going to need 3 inches on each side of it. I took several hours to add all the numbers up and it came to a grand total of 10 inches. I'm not too worried about my dirt bike even though it's getting old....turning 20 this year. But I am worried about making a jump that long. I mean, what happens if I get 5 inches into the jump and get scared. There's no coming back at that point. The pressure I'm stating to feel is probably what Evil Knieval felt before he jumped the Snake River Canyon.

They never said how much older Luke was than Bo but I guess that Luke was 4-7 years older. The reason I say that is on "Happy Birthday General Lee" when they first got the General Lee (it was black) Luke said to Bo "You were just out of high school and I was just out of the Marines". I know from experience that in that era a stint in the Marines was a minimum of 4 years....of course it was possible to do more or less because of the VietNam War....which Luke served in. Since the show started in 1979 and there were few or no American troops there in 1975 it is possible that Luke could have been in longer than 4 years and that's why I said 4-7. Daisy was somewhere in between them in age although I can't remember which episode said that. I'm excited that you're interested!

snow Leave it to Hobie to think of white lightning.

We're sure glad to have you here. I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan. I'd love to travel there and see where it was filmed. I never will but I can dream about it. Do you live anywhere near the Shire? I have a friend from Tasmania. I know that's not real close but it's (as us Americans say) near your neck of the woods.

You're older than I thought. I don't know what was making me think you were younger. I suppose it's not possible to make shine as good as yours and be young. Talent like that takes decades to acquire.

Welcome to the HazzardNet Tania! We sure are happy you're here and hope you stay a long time. I never watched Smallville but I was excited that my daughters became John Schneider fans because of it.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. 1979! That's the year Dukes came out. I was 19. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it feels like 100 years.

I never noticed that. Maybe he was a Charlie Daniels fan and that was his way of expressing it.

I know what that one means. It's when a girl named Sarah puts her toes in the water. Saradipintoes
