(A week ago we lost our internet and land line. They were working on installing a high speed internet line near my area but said what they were doing had nothing to do with the problem....that sounded suspicious. I found out later there was a fire a couple miles away and that was the problem. We finally got our land line back Saturday but no internet until last night and that didn't last long. It's working for the moment though but who knows for how long)

day (finally got my internet back!!!)

Must be you didn't feel it down there, huh Skipper? The local news said that they could feel it across the NY state line. I'm guessing that is about 50 or 60 miles from the epicenter.

Happy Birthday today to our favorite dipstick deputy, Enos Strate. I hope Boss gives him some time off today. It's Buttermilk Day at the Boar's Nest. Who knows....maybe that pretty waitress Daisy will give him a kiss as he's sporting a buttermilk mustache! We love you Buddy Roe! Possum on a gumbush! Grits and Greens strike again!

I just felt an earthquake and heard things in the house rattle. I looked at the clock and it was 10:43 (EST). I was pretty sure that's what it was and then the local news confirmed it 17 minutes later. No real damage here. It was centered in Madison Ohio.

Sorry to get your hopes up about Chase. I guess the race wasn't in Hazzard County. If it was, it would have had a happy ending.

After the meeting about their financial woes finished, Jesse went out to Maudeen while the other 3 stayed inside. He somberly walked his 4-hooved friend and co-worker toward the direction of the back 40, knowing she was more eager than him to get back to the job. A few hundred feet away from the farmhouse he talked to her. "You know girl, times sure have changed. My daddy and grandpappy didn't use no horseless carriage to git around. Shucks, they didn't even need a tractor to farm." Maudeen brayed "Woops, sorry sweetheart. I didn't mean to use the T-word". He chuckled. "Now don't git me wrong. I understand these modern machines. I had Black Tillie back in my day. But they are expensive. I sure love the General Lee but between you and me,he does get a bit expensive. I bet those boys spent more on parts today than food. If only they could find a way to make money off that orange horseless carriage. Maybe we could climb out of these problems."

And his dad is pretty popular around here too!

A moment later the boys stepped through the door with brown paper bags of groceries and other items. A radiator hose could be seen sticking up out of one bag, pointing toward the ceiling. Still seated, Jesse looked directly at them with a slightly intimidating glare. "Well, it's good to see you boys finally decided to grace us with an appearance today." Bo and Luke's faces tensed up, knowing he wasn't done. "Now, tell me boys, which one of you held up the return trip back to the farm by flirting with girls?" They looked at each other silently and then at same time, both pointed to the other, looking very serious. Knowing Jesse couldn't see her, Daisy mischievously smiled, hoping the boys would smile and get in trouble. She didn't know her Uncle could see her reflection in a window. "I'm glad you think this is funny Daisy". Her smile ended quickly. "Now you three kids put everything away and while you are doing that, I'll fill this table up with bills....and we are fixin' to have a little math lesson on why it is a problem when there is more money going out than comin' in....a very serious problem.....as in, if we can't fix it, folks will be calling us the Dukes of Hatchapee."

Bo and Luke had a ZEST for chasing women

Jesse hadn't finished the back 40 yet but it was time for lunch. He walked in, happy to see that Daisy already had a hearty meal on the table for him. It was no surprise. He had called her on the walkie talkie a few minutes earlier to let her know he was coming. He sat down, folded his hands and muttered a quiet prayer and starting eating some fried chicken, left over from supper yesterday. Daisy then walked in from her bedroom. She looked at her beloved uncle with concern. "Now Uncle Jesse, you look plumb wore out." He quickly responded. "Now listen here young lady. Don't you worry none about me. Maudeen is doin' all the work....and thank ya kindly for lunch." She still looked concerned, even motherly. "Now, why don't you just plow the back 40 the easy way, with our tractor. You know I rebuilt that carburetor." Jesse put his finger over his own lips and spoke quietly. "Now you just hush. Maudeen's right outside and the windows 'er open. She might hear ya. And by the way, have you heard from dem boys?"

No but I do remember the vehicles on the back of the car carrier kept changing!

"Whoa, Maudeen!" shouted Jesse while plowing the back 40...but the mule just didn't want to stop. The old ridge runner raised his voice much louder, "Now, you listen to me and hold yer horses!" Maudeen stopped in her tracks. "I won't be long now Maudeen. I just wanted to wipe this sweat up. It's running like a river from my forehead to my eyes and I can't even see." Maudeen brayed loudly while she turned her neck to look back at him. "Now you listen here girl. Don't ya go looking at me like ya want to fight 'er somethin'. You know I didn't mean nothin' by it when I said horses." He then sighed and looked at the walkie talkie clipped to his overalls. "I just hope today doesn't bring anymore bad news. We could use us some good luck fer a change."
