I'm like 'ol Jesse. I wouldn't leave if they gave me a billion. I bought my property in 1979, the first year Dukes came out and it is just as much a part of me as my arms and legs are. 

Make it a real General Lee for me. And a Jesse truck and Emma's dirt bike. 

OR.......I could save it, put it with what I've got and never have to work another day in my life!! ( What do you think I'm fixin' to do?   )

$513,000....things are very expensive in down town Franklin and this house is just average.....1800 Sq. Ft.

The good weather's holding over here, so we took another trip to the seaside today. We started with a walk around the cliffs, and followed that with a few hours on a nice, quiet beach. I even had another little swim. We finished off the day going along the coast to a place called Youghal. It reminded me of Dukes, because it's pronounced "y'all".

Did ya make out like a bandit? Or did the bandits get you?
Found out last month this one guy that has annual garage sales we go to got screwed before the housing boom. He sold his cabin on Lake Erie for nowhere near what it was worth because he had some medical bills to pay. The buyer lowballed him and with Covid lockdown beginning he figured he wouldn't get a better offer so he took it. 

A small F1 excursion here. This weekend the Grand Prix is at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium - a favorite track of mine and many of the drivers. In free practice earlier today, Fernando Alonso (back in F1 after racing in the Indy 500 and Le Mans over the last few years) had a helmet camera to give a driver's eye view of the track. I'm prevented from embedding the video, but you can see it on YouTube.

Kurt Busch is moving to the 2nd car for 23XI Racing in 2022 will be driving #45 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/08/27/kurt-busch-to-drive-second-car-for-23xi-racing/ with that Kurt will be the only current driver to drive for every manufacturer since his debut in cup. I wonder since this is Kyle and Adam Petty's old number if that means they are getting the charter that RPM is currently leasing to RWR.
And the car numbers are moving forward 

Well another rumor on Twitter is 23XI racing will be buying or leasing a charter from Front Row Motorsports and FRM will switch from Ford to Toyota for 2022 as another JGR satellite team.

The Belgian F1 Grand Prix turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax, but it did make history. They say that the location of the circuit gives it its own micro-climate, and today that meant rain! Because F1 can normally run in wet weather, they don't have the option to hold the race over to the Monday. The rule is normally that the race must be completed within three hours of the start time, including delays and stoppages. They rewrote the rules today to start the race three hours late. The drivers completed just over two laps behind the safety car before the race was red-flagged, and half points were awarded. The 2021 Belgian Grand Prix now becomes the shortest F1 race in history. Let's hope that the weather's better when they return to Zandvoort in the Netherlands next week for the first F1 race there since 1985.

horendous crash (sound of Rosco's windshield breaking)

Good to hear from you cousin. 

Hey Skipper is it technological possible to post a link of this thread and post it on FB? A lot of Dukes fans would love it and it could bring more members to HN 

I'm not a fan of the reunion movies but Hughie would have been the best choice. It would have made Boss's death just a little easier to take, knowing he would have approved of Hughie taking his place....even though Huggie drove him nuts. 

Another project! Coolness! I'm out of reactions or I would have hit more likes. Did you see that Hughie just turned 70? I posted it a few days ago. 

He does have a mule...Maudeen!   

No the rain didn't get me but it was close. I'm about 70m east of Nashville and that's ( Waverly in Humphreys county)  about  75 miles west of Nashville.

oh yes...I crawled into the back of the car lot with a jug of my finest and acted like REO Speedwagon......I rode the storm out!    .
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I'm surprised you never got yourself a mule to help look after your back 40, Roger.

Woke up early this morning to what sounded like someone dumping buckets of water on the roof. Turned on the local weather radar channel and seen a big blotch if red right above our area. According to the local news In less than an hour we got over 2 inches, possibly 3 inches, of rain, 10 miles west of us got over 5 inches of rain in the same time frame. And the lightning, never seen anything like it, there was so many flashes you could read a book by the light of it. Where we park the cars is sort of a peak in the parking lot luckily so the water never reached our cars, but some of the cars parked in the lower section of the lot had water upto the bottom of the doors. The downpour was so fast that it even moved some of the parking pads into the middle of the parking lot. 
 
Glad to hear you're ok Hobie 

Still no word from Hobie? Come on cousin. You're starting to worry us. Last I heard on the news 24 dead and 30 missing. 
I know what you mean about the heat Spike. I'm glad I don't have roof work. I mowed today.....with a push mower. We have a big yard but I've never owned a riding mower. We also have a 150 driveway and I've never owned a snowblower....keeps me in shape. 

I just looked it up. Sparta and Waverly (where the worst flooding was) are 130 miles away. Hopefully that means Hobie is ok

So sorry to hear that Spike. I hope you 2 can work things out. We're here for you cousin. I'm sending you a PM.
