Maybe not but every time I see the obituaries I see a lot of folks in their 50s in there. (I'm 53) But I'm not worried about it. I leave those decisions to the Good Lord.

And it's folks like you who will keep the Dukes torch burning long after us original fans have passed onto Hazzard Heaven. We're depending on you.

I have to think about it Garrett. I don't really like fantasy football because I don't like watching Steeler games while I'm secretly rooting for players on my fantasy team to do well against my Steelers. Dividing my loyalties is tough on me. Still, I'm going to consider it. Plus, my computer is always causing troubles and frustrating me to no end. We got a new modem yesterday so hopefully that will help.

Thanks Hoss. My life isn't the same without HazzardNet so it works both ways. Folks like you are why I feel that way.

We just had our modem replaced. It was included in our contract so it didn't cost anything. It sounds like there's a good chance a lot of our problems might be behind us. It's good to be back!

We have had more trouble with this computer in a year than all the 10 years combined with our old computer. It doesn't matter what we do or who helps us with it, it is nothing but trouble. I've gotten to the point where I hate the thing and just want to quit using it altogether. If I don't step away from it and take some deep breaths for a few days I'm going to smash this piece of garbage. It has basically become unusable again so I suppose we'll need to call in yet another expert to help. I feel so battle fatigued from constantly fighting it.

LOL Well I wouldn't exactly word it like that Garrett but I will say that your Cubs have NOT had losing seasons the last 21 years in a row.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have become the first team in the majors to hit the 50 win mark. This is a feat they haven't accomplished since 1960 when little RogerDuke was wearing diapers. By the way, they won the World Series that year. For Pirate fans though we'd just be happy for a winning season, something we haven't seen in 20 years. No other team in American big league sports has ever been that bad.

What a coincidence that you would post something from the cartoon series! (post 186, cartoon of Coy and Vance with Catherine) Just earlier this evening I watched a couple of the cartoon episodes with my 4 year old grandson. Thanks again for all these great contributions!

The Pirates have become the first team to win 49 games this year!

Woops, it looks like somebody stole the General Lee's license plate! (posts 180 and 181)

I don't have any players who are on the Cubs. Are you implying that there are good players in baseball who aren't on the Cubs? I thought you were too loyal to have such terrible thoughts. But let's stay on the thread's topic and discuss how bad I'm going to beat you in fantasy NASCAR this weekend.

You'd better reread my post. We tied 6-6. Although beating you certainly would have been nice. Hopefully beating you in the playoffs is in my future! By the way, nice pick up with Josh Donaldson. I might regret dumping him.

There was some fireworks here on the HazzardNet last baseball season when Garrett lost a friendly bet to yours truly on who would win the most regular season games, the Pirates or Cubs. Needless to say, Garrett has a bit of a temper when the Cubbies have a bad year. Get ready to run for cover in September because it could happen again.

Thanks so much for posting the farmhouse pictures Roth!

I've heard about using toothpaste. Let us know if it works. Good luck!

Congratulations on Jeff Gordon finishing second Garrett. After a banner week at fantasy NASCAR two races ago I returned to my normal pathetic self with my Sonoma picks. But the good news is that you didn't beat me in our match up in fantasy baseball. I came from behind for a 6-6 tie. If I would have lost you'd be teasing me for the next 9 weeks (when I beat you in our rematch). Sorry to change the subject but I'm so bad at fantasy NASCAR I just can't help myself.

LOL When my oldest grandson was about 5 or 6, I remember him saying "When I grow up I want to be the guy who sets off fireworks." I suppose there's going to be a lot of kids at those Reds games who look up to your dad more than they do the players.

Hopefully you'll get the chance soon K-Duke. My grandparents took us to a lot of Pirate games in the early 70s when Three Rivers Stadium first opened in Pittsburgh. As an adult I've been to four Major League Baseball games....one in Toronto and 3 in Pittsburgh. In Toronto Roger Clemens struck out 16. I've been to three NBA games. All of them were in Cleveland when they were playing my Minnesota Timberwolves. I've been to three NFL games, two in Pittsburgh and one in Buffalo.....all won by the home teams. I've been to just one NHL game (in Pittsburgh vs NY Rangers.) I got a fantastic close up picture of Wayne Gretzsky.
