Garrett Duke

Chicago Bears!!!!

Well sadly I have fallen into the same rut as I was in last year and haven't watched a race yet this year, though have followed it on my phone. They raced at the Charolette Roval yesterday where it looks like Kyle Larson dominated it or led a lot and ended up winning the race. Kyle Larson's team mate, Alex Bowman failed post race inspection which has gotten him disqualified from the final 8 round of the standings of the Chase. Hendrick has declined fighting the punishment, so Bowman is now out of the Chase for this year. With that said, the final eight of the Chase has been sealed moving forward. (For my two cents worth. I am sad to see Bowman disqualified, but am glad to see that Chase Elliott made it into the final 8 in seventh place. Now he needs to win... ) Anyway, here are a few links from NASCAR.com.

Of course it's not the same...it's way better! No one will ever match my finest moonshine! I make it better than ol' Jesse himself! Welcome back, friend. I hope all is well and that you are enjoying your drinks in moderation. Um...for now? Please don't go. Wait a minute...you getting tired of the best moonshine of the south? Something is wrong with your taste buds . . . see if I share my finest with you any more.

It is a worry. Hopefully he is OK and just needed a little break from being online.

Thank you Roger. You are very talented writer as well. I enjoyed writing it with you as well. Thank you again.

Welcome to HNet!

"Jesse Duke!" Boss Hogg yells as he walks rapidly from his car after his chauffeur had helped him out, "Jesse Duke! We had a deal. Where is my tape at?"! Garrett eyes him harshly as Rosco's firm hand holds him back from his tense shoulder. "Calm down, Boss," Luke calmly states from the hood of the Jesse's truck where the Dukes and now the Elliott brothers remain standing and Garrett slowly turns his attention back to them. "we are here aren't we?" "I'm not talking to you, boy!" Hogg states, his voice rising with panic before he sucks heavily on his cigar and lets out a cloud of gray smoke, "I was talking to Jesse." Jesse steps forward. "Well you heard my boy, J.D. We are here and as always we will honor our deal as long as you honor yours," Jesse states, eyeing Hogg for a long moment before glancing over at Garrett, "release him and Bo here will hand you over the tape." "Nah. Jesse. I get the tape, then you get your criminal back," Hogg states smugly and as Rosco turns to applaud Boss for taking charge, Garrett takes a step forward and momentarily escapes Rosco's grip only for Rosco to tightly hold onto his arm. "Nice try, Garrett," Rosco hisses in his ear, tightening his grip on his arms, "I'm not letting you go until Boss here tells me to." "A deal is a deal, Hogg," Luke yells back at him, "we get Garrett back and you get the tape recording. End of story. You don't unlock him and let him go, we will be on our way to Atlanta." "Forget about me. Take it to Atlanta!" Garrett yells as he attempts once again to break loose only for Rosco to force him to sit down. "I second that," Bo states coldly, only to get a stern glare from Jesse. Bo shrugs, "Well he said it. Not me." Looking back at the law. "J.D. What's it going to be?" Jesse sternly questions the commissioner who sucks on his cigar with anger and spite. Blowing a cloud of smoke down onto Garrett, he reluctantly says, "Fine. Y'all may win this time. But next time, you all are going down!" Glancing over at Rosco he hisses, "Help him up and uncuff him." "But Boss -" Rosco begins to protest. "I'm not going to jail for HIM!" he yells spitefully, "Do as I say." Rosco rolls his eyes before roughly forcing Garrett back onto his feet. "You have won this time, Garrett. But my eyes will be glued on to you. One wrong move and you'll be on a one way track to the State Pen. You hear me, boy!" Rosco yells into Garrett's ear. "Good luck to you on that," Garrett states coldly and chills run through Rosco at his tone, "not let me go." Rosco exhales in defeat as he reluctantly unlocks the cuffs on Garrett's wrists and as he lets go of Garrett he shoves him forward a couple of steps. "OK. You got your criminal. Where's my tape?!" Hogg yells. "Bo here will hand it to Garrett to give to you," Jesse yells up at the man dressed in a white suit before nodding at Bo. Bo shakes his head in disgust as he eyes the law and then his brother before back at Jesse who nods him forward. Rolling his eyes he slowly walks towards Garrett where they meet in the middle. "Here's your freedom," Bo states handing it to Garrett. "OK Garrett," Boss yells, "bring it to me, now!" Garrett eyes him with hard gray eyes. "You want this?" he questions him and Boss angrily nods. Shrugging, Garrett says, "OK. You can have it." With that he throws the tape recorder as hard as he can at the tall thick tree that stand proudly besides Boss. The tape recorder makes a loud breaking sound on impact before falling to the ground and Boss quickly runs over and picks it up. "You broke it!" he yells, "Rosco! Arrest him for breaking County property!" "Awright Duke. You are under arrest for breaking county property," Rosco takes his handcuffs out before walking towards Garrett who casually walks away like nothing happened. "You said you wanted it. You got it," Garrett states as he joins Bill and Ernie, "you never said how you wanted it. Besides," Garrett pauses dramatically, "now no one will be able to hear how dirty and evil you really are." "How we supposed to know that was the real tape and not some false tape you put in there?" Boss chimes in from his vehicle. "Rosco. Arrest him!" "Because unlike you, we keep our end of the deal," Luke yells back at them, "and can be trusted. Y'all go home and leave us alone or we'll file harassment charges on you." Rosco stops near Garrett and glances back at Hogg for his reply. "Get in the car, pea brain," Hogg hisses at his sheriff before he slowly walks back to his car and his driver helps him back in. Standing up in the car, he yells down, "This isn't over for you, Garrett!" he sits down and the white car drives off as Rosco sulks back to his car and slowly follows him. "Freedom for Garrett!" Jesse yells patting him on the back. "If you want to call it that," Garrett rolls his eyes before looking at them all, "I appreciate all that you did. But you really should have taken that tape to Atlanta. I'd have gladly went back to jail for them." "Not on our watch," Luke states putting a protective arm around Bo's shoulders and looks at Garrett and then at Bill and Ernie, "I think this calls for a drink at the Boar's Nest." Bill and Ernie smile at them. "I'm sorry boys. Daisy," Bill nods at Daisy, "but we have to get moving onto practice for Bristol this weekend. It has been entertaining being in Hazzard." "Our pleasure," Bo states sarcastically, "never a dull moment with those two here." "I'd say," Ernie states as he pats Bill on the back, "hate to run off on y'all. But we got to go otherwise we'll miss the race and Bill here won't have a chance at the championship. Perhaps we'll be back down for next year's Hazzard race." "That'd be fun!" Daisy laughs and hugs them. They wave bye to everyone before climbing back into their car and backing out. "Well," Jesse chimes, "I think we should go back to the house for a victory dinner. How that sound, Garrett?" Wishing to just go home, yet knowing he needs to show some gratitude for all they did to help him out, he forces a smile. "Sounds good to me," he finally states. "Ah life is back to normal," Daisy smiles as she hugs Garrett, "great to have you back." "Normal?" Bo questions, "There's no such thing as normal in Hazzard." "Not normal to anyone else's standards, but back to Hazzard type normal," Luke grins before motioning to the General and looking at Garrett, "wanna ride?" Garrett eyes them wildly and at the beloved car that both Duke boys had kept off limits to him due to their hard feelings for one another. "Hell yeah!" he grins and climbs in through the passenger seat window before climbing back to the back seat before Bo and Luke can join him. Jesse eyes Garrett wildly and shakes his head at him and Bo, Luke, and Daisy only nod before they all get in their cars and drive back to the Duke family farm. Where everything is anything, but normal... THE END (Thank you Roger and Skip for writing with me. It has been fun to write this together with the two of you. Nothing beats Dukes of Hazzard and NASCAR. Thank you.)
