As the father of a daughter and two step daughters I can relate so I loved this story. My daughter is 28 and my twin step daughters are 30 so I remember going through what you're just now starting to experience. Thankfully I survived and now they all have families of their own. After having no sons I've been blessed with 4 grandsons and a one year old granddaughter so it's going to be a long time before I have to worry about her going out on her first date. By that time you'll be where I'm at now. Just a bit of advice, don't scare away the good guys. Someday you'll be happy when you have good sons-in-laws. Feel free to chase off the idiots though. Someday your girls will thank you....even though it might take some time for them to understand. By the way, thank you for serving your country.

Happy birthday Daisy!!! (March 1st) We love you cousin!

Welcome to the HazzardNet IA. You've going to love it here!

It looks like JR Ewing will die on March 4th. If he doesn't die on that day it will be the episode that will lead to his eventual death. Tonight (Monday Feb 25) may have been the last time we saw an original scene with him in it. Judging by the scenes they showed for the upcoming episode they looked like a review of past scenes and not anything new. In a way this is also the end of an era for The Dukes of Hazzard since the shows were linked backed to back for all seven years of original Dukes episodes. Back then you could hardly talk about one show without the other coming up in the conversation....and since there were only three channels the shows just seemed bigger and more epic than the watered down television of today. I'll miss JR. He certainly was a scoundrel but so was Boss Hogg and I miss him too. It's times like this that I think of my own mortality and the mortality of all of us. I suppose the one thing that matters most of all is our relationship with God.

Rosco was furious as he stood on the hill. He grumbled to himself "I couldn't see who won." Just then a beat up old brown Ford pick-up truck showed up with three scruffy guys in it...the Beaudrys! "Hop in the back" yelled Milo. Moments later they had pulled up to the crowded celebration and all got out of the truck. Milo and Sledge pointed their shotguns in the air and had a menacing look on their face until Pa spoke up. "Now, put those shotguns away boys. We don't want no trouble. We just want to apologize and say we's sorry fer what we did. Truth be known Boss Hogg put us up to it. We're just thankful nobody got hurt." Milo and Sledge put the guns in the bed of the pick-up. The crowd looked angrily at Boss and he had to act fast. "Uh, listen here folks...you ain't gonna believe these low life Beaudrys are you?" Milo and Sledge reached for the guns but stopped when Boss continued speaking "Well, folks maybe there is a teenie tiny bit of truth to what Mr. Beaudry is saying but I didn't mean no harm. I was just having a little old fashioned fun. And to make it up to you folks I'd like to donate a one hundred thousand dollar pledge to the Hazzard County Orphanage in the name of our good friend and NASCAR superstar Mr. Gordon Jeff....uh hum, I mean Mr. Jeff Gordon!"

I wore my HazzardNet shirt and orange 01 hat to the NASCAR party I attended but not a single person commented on them. Needless to say that was disappointing since there were about 200 people there and I knew 40-50 of them. I think I'll sit home next year for Daytona. Big parties are fun (especially when they benefit charity) but I sure missed hearing the commentary since there was no sound and a band was playing. I suppose if it would have been a country band playing it wouldn't have been as bad but these guys have probably never heard of Waylon. The best part is when I'd walk up to the big screen TV to get a close up. It almost made me want to replace out little TV. I was happy to see Junior do well.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed that nothing bad happens today.

Nascar

Thanks. I hope they don't have any accidents like today.

What a fantastic project. We look forward to seeing the progess....and 1979 is a pretty important year for Dukes fans! I love older vehicles. Even with my minimal mechanical skills I could replace distributers, starters, alternators, carbuerators, radiatiors, drive shafts and stuff like that. With these newer vehicles you can't even replace your own spark plugs without a computer. It makes me sick. Keep us updated and welcome to the HazzardNet fellow old timer. (I'm 52)

You sure sound like the kind of feller who belongs here. We look forward to hearing more from you!

Rosco was delighted as he turned off Old Swamp Road onto Peach Tree Lane and headed into the home stretch. Finally he and Boss would have the last laugh with that troublesome Jeff Gordon. Gordon would be forced to leave Hazzard County as the laughing stock of NASCAR after being beat by a small town sheriff. He smiled and thought that this may be the best day of his life. Then Rosco keyed up his CB to the station that was wired into the loudspeakers at the grandstand so all of Hazzard could hear him brag about beating local legend Bo Duke and world famous NASCAR sensation Jeff Gordon. "Good afternoon good folks of Hazzard County. This is your sherifff, Rosco P. Coltrane with a race update. Due to the superior driving skills of your local sheriff, the county of Hazzard will have a lot to celebrate today because their favorite lawman is just a couple miles away from becoming the greatest driver in the history of all of Georgia. In a moment you will witness a hysterical...um, I mean...historical moment when I crosss that finish line. As far as my competition goes, they're way back in the swamp off the road due to their greatly inferior driving skills. Khee Khee! In fact they may be hurt so maybe an ambulance should go out and check on them. Khee Khee." A split second later an ambulance came out of nowhere and T-boned the back of Rosco's car causing it to spin off the road. The car then flipped in the ditch and ended on its roof. Thankfully Rosco was unhurt and crawled out and ran over to the ambulance with the smashed up front end. The driver was Hughie Hogg. "What's the matter Rosco? Didn't you know I owned two of these here fake ambulances? You of all people should know I always have a back up plan." Rosco was furious, "Why'd you wreck me you idiot? I can't beat Jeff Gordon and the General Lee with an upside down car." Hughie laughed. "After the way you and Boss treated me, did you really think I wouldn't find some way to get you back?" Then, as quickly as he struck, Hughie was gone, leaving Rosco to run for safety behind a tree as the two powerful cars with the two skilled drivers behind the wheels passed up Rosco's overturned vehicle. Rosco shook his head in disgust then shrugged his shoulders and ran up onto a small hill to get a view of who would win the big race.

Is 11:00 Central when the starting flag drops or when the pre-race coverage begins? I'm just wondering because I want to know the exact moment when my fantasy NASCAR team starts leaving your fantasy NASCAR team in the dust. (I almost forgot, there's no dust in NASCAR anymore)

Half way through the race the three cars were speeding down Old Swamp Road. The trees and underbrush were so think they darkened the blue sky. This was the only part of the race where there were no official race obsevers reporting results to the grandstand speakers. Not only that but folks didn't have a chance to see the race with their binoculars due to the thick swamp vegetation. And this is where the Beaudrys struck. Milo pulled both triggers of the double barrel 12 gauge shotgun, blowing out the right front tire of the General Lee, causing it to slide out of control. Sledge aimed at Jeff Gordon's tire but Pa Beaudry grabbed the front of the gun and pushed it high into the sky just before it went off. "What are you doing Pa?!" yelled Sledge. Pa responded "That's Jeff Gordon. Boss didnt tell me that he was in this race. He's been my favorite driver ever since Cale Yarborough retired." But Jeff didn't get away without damage. When the General slid it forced Gordon to brake and his car ended up with one tire in the ditch. The situation didn't look too terrible. The car wasn't stuck bad and wasn't damaged at all. It just looked like it needed a pull from a tow chain or a push from two strong men. Pa Beaudry came running over to Jeff. "Uh, I'm really sorry Mr. Gordon. This seems to be a case of mistaken identity. Um, is there any chance I can get your autograph?" Milo and Sledge looked dumbfounded as they lowered their shotguns. They had never seen anybody famous before. Moments later Rosco came flying by. He laughed as he saw Luke pull out a spare tire from the General Lee's trunk and Bo pull out the jack. He chuckled "Khee Khee" when he saw Jeff's car partially stuck. Little did Rosco know that another mysterious visitor awaited just at the other end of the swamp.

Happy birthday Vance. (Feb 21) We love you and we miss you cousin.
