Belated happy birthday Spike! It's good to hear you had a good one.
I've been doing a lot of kayaking lately. 
On the sad side, I just heard that a 20 year old from Ohio was killed instantly when his neck was broke in a local Pennsylvania dirt bike race on Saturday. I go to that race track often but wasn't there Saturday. I'm glad I didn't see it. If I would have that would be something that would be tough to get out of my head. I've never witnessed anyone die in an accident. 

Had a good birthday yesterday. Went to a park to watch the sunrise and see what creatures were out early, mostly red winged blackbirds but the surprise was fish swimming in the ditch that goes through the park. Never seen fish in there before. Then went mini golfing, flipped the rules to most strokes wins  my putting was way off lol. Only complaint is I took advantage of Amazon Prime day and had a local Best buy match the price on a pair of Fitbits but apparently Fitbit is having a software issue at the moment so they're basically $60 paperweights at the moment. If they don't get the issue resolved in a week I'm returning them.
On the weather front we were in a drought locally but the almost 3 inches of rain we got Sunday night-Monday morning really soaked the ground. Our tomato's shot up a few inches taller already. 

Charlie Daniels as Uncle Jesse!!! That's brilliant daisyXenos!!
Of course I'm a little biased because Charlie is my all-time favorite singer and Denver is my all-time favorite actor. I was thrilled to see you make that suggestion.
Of course nobody could replace anybody on the Dukes (especially Jesse) but Charlie is the only person on this planet I wouldn't mind seeing try.
Jesse is my biggest hero and Charlie is definitely second.

And it didn't matter how big and tough you were. Nobody messed with the Postmistress of Hazzard.

She didn''t ASK you to take a number...she  TOLD you!

1984 was the last cup race at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Geoff Bodine won the final cup race there. The last Xfinity and Truck series races were held there in 2000.
 
Kyle Larson won his fourth consecutive race in dominating fashion leading most of the laps and winning stage two. Ross Chastain kept the Hendrick teams from another consecutive 1-2 finish. Ricky Stenhouse Jr also had a good race racing in the top 10 all day and finishing 6th.

over 30,000 fans! I think it's the first NASCAR race they've had in like .....50 yrs???  I hope to see it in person one day. I'm born and raised 20m south, in Franklin Tn.

SRX series was on the dirt at Iowa's Knoxville Raceway. Tony Stewart dominated winning the first heat race and main Feature Race. Indycar stars Marco Andretti and Helio Castroneves seemed giddy as kids playing in the mud racing on dirt first time since they began they're racing careers. Helio would have finished 2nd in one of the heat races if he didn't get the laps mixed up at the end. Michael Waltrip was a strong contender despite not racing on dirt for well over a decade if not two. Bill Elliott's car suffered another similar malfunction in this race as at Stafford. Paul Tracy and Michael Waltrip played bumper cars again. The third race this Saturday night should be interesting between those two.
Main Feature results
1 Tony Stewart
2 Hallie Deegan
3 Ernie Francis Jr
4 Helio Castroneves
5 Michael Waltrip

LOL.....my Facebook issues have followed me to the HazzardNet. Seriously  though, I just had it with how they censor certain types of political thought and let others run wild and free to spew anything they want. The fair thing is to let everybody have a voice or let nobody have a voice. I left once and came back but I won't be back again. 

Happy birthday to Miz Emma Tisdale. Nedra Volz was born on 6-18-1908 in Montrose Iowa. She stood at 4 foot 11 inches but despite that was very intimidating. If she asked you to take a number you did it. 

My son-in-law is a big NASCAR fan so my daughter came over today for Father's Day and we watched some of the race. I always enjoy it when I'm with someone who knows the answers to my questions. It sure was interesting to see a race in Nashville.....I bet the locals were loving that.

Good song, and not one that I was familiar with. BTW. I've replaced the missing Diet Coke video.
 

Cousin HossC... I know of her. She performed the song Down in the Basement in PlayStation Driver 2 game.

I don't know. He currently has a minority stake in the team. There's talk of Rick Hendrick semi-retiring and Jeff Gordon could kind of fill that role. 

I think (Season 2 Hazzard Connection) Rosco(hesitating to take Boss Hogg's food.) Boss Hogg:"Go ahead. You can have that one." Rosco(Removing cover.)"But Boss. This one's empty." Boss Hogg:"That's why I said "you could have it."

(The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee PlayStation 2 & Xbox video game) Luke Duke:"Better high tail it to the racetrack if you don't wanna disappoint that girl yer so sweet on." Bo Duke:"Let's warm up the General on the way to the racetrack." Luke Duke:"Just make sure you get us there fast, and in one piece."

Farewell to Roger Duke on Facebook. 

Apparently the Neighbors section of the Ring app is useless now. I posted about what I seen last night to alert nearby neighbors and it got removed. Reason given to me was "We are changing what content is allowed in this section due to feedback from users. Previously this content was allowed but it is not now." I wondered why nearby neighbor notifications about anything besides "fireworks noise being mistaken for gunshots" dropped off a cliff the past few weeks. Used to get at least one 'suspicious activity' notification a day from nearby neighbors, now barely see one in a week or two.
I feel for them too. Just because of a few bad apples that shouldn't have been cops to begin with, all of them get villified.

Happy 84th Heavenly Dukes of Hazzard Birthday to Waylon Jennings(Balladeer)! 6/15/37!

Yep, heard that this morning.  Blessings Waylon, we sure miss you.  

The actor was William Smith. He played Clint Eastwood's opponent, Jack Wilson, in 'Any Which Way You Can'. The movie came out a year before '10 Million Dollar Sheriff'.
