Great idea MM. Thanks to my grandfather also for his service in WWII. I'm sure he's resting in peace in a place that will never see a war.

I do love that episode. My favorite part of it is the end at the Duke farm. That might be my all time favorite scene in all 7 years of the show (especially this time of the year)

A good caption for that would be.... "Does this duct tape make my trunk look big?"

Never mind. I found out from my NASCAR friend today that it's in Miami. That seems a bit unusual. You'd think it would be in North Carolina. Isn't that the biggest NASCAR state and the most logical place to hold the dramatic grand finale?

Hmmm, what state's Homestead in? Is it North Carolina?

This was the most relaxed Jesse had felt in months. The crops were in, the firewood stacked against the house, the bad shingles had been replaced and Maudeen the mule was fattened up for the winter. As Jesse walked amongst the Blue Spruce just east of the back 40, he chose to focus only on the good things as he looked at the potential Christmas trees. Yet, there were plenty of bad things....although the crops were in, they were skimpy due to the drought, the firewood had to be sprayed for termites, Jesse had to get a loan extension to fix the roof and Maudeen wasn't getting any younger. Despite the negatives, nothing could keep Jesse down today. To him, this was the official start of Christmas, the day he picked a tree. His plan was to tie a red ribbon on it and have the boys cut it whenever the time came to do so. Jesse thought of his childhood. One of the reasons he loved Christmas so much was that it gave him three reasons to celebrate. He loved to recall all the good times he had on the farm with his parents and grandparents. He loved to think about future and the great life ahead for Daisy, Bo and Luke. The third reason was the most important of all, the reason for the season. The birth of the Savior gave him a promise that when he passed on to the Promised Land, there would be a friend to great him. As he was looking at the top of one of the trees trying to figure out if it was too tall for the living room, he heard a yell at a distance. It was Daisy. She walked quickly toward her uncle with a smile on her face.

ROFL You got me on that one. Just to make it official, I did mean Jeff Gordon!

I saw the ESPN highlights of the race. I feel bad for Jeff. Things are heating up and the drama is intensifying. Hang on to your hats!

Oh man, the bragging is getting disgustingly thick right now. Tonight I had a quote on national TV for the third time. It wasn't on CNN this time but was on the Larry Kudlow show that airs on CNBC at 7 pm EST. CNBC is NBC's financial channel. Once again, if anybody is interested you can send me a PM to ask about it. Like I mentioned in the last post, I don't like mixing a good thing like Hazzard County with a bad thing like politics....at least not in public...so send a PM if you're curious.

I don't have a clue but I'll guess 30 feet just to break the silence.

It's really beautiful the way the colors blend together. At first I didn't really appreciate the blending but then I stopped and took some time and looked at it and the different shades are remarkable. Nice job!

That's it! You are amazing with your computer skills Hoss. I still haven't figured out how to do anything on this contraption but HazzardNet.... of course there's nothing else I want to do.

You're right Jeff. Waylon did say Bo was with the Marine Reserves on that episode. Since Bo's hair wasn't Marine Corps regulation, I'm guessing he was just visiting and didn't sign the papers to join. I was in the Marine Reserves from 1978-1984 and our hair had to be as short as regular duty Marines. I do love that episode. I think it's the only one where we ever see Rosco's house. Also, we find out that Boss's birthday is 4-6-26. (I hit pause when the Finchburg Sheriff was holding Boss's twin brother's drivers license)

None of these three are the one I have. The front of mine just has a picture of Bo on it sitting with nothing but brown in the background. Luke is standing behind him leaning on his back. The cover has a blue border. Also, inside is an advertisment for the Bananas Yearbook for 1980. That cover also features John. Someday I'll have to fish through my cedar chest that has my old Dukes stuff. I'm not even sure what's in there anymore. It's been so long since I've gone through it. Maybe Luke's yawning because he's so tired..... tired of people pestering him that there's no 01 on the side of his car.
