Nope. I've moved on. We got Iceman Caleb Williams now...gonna ice Green Bay out tomorrow night. Or at least I hope...

What did you do to him? LOL. I liked him in Chicago, but he went downhill from there. Hopefully he'll wake up and get his act together...

The Ghost of General Lee is my all time favorite. Tho I love all the ones with Bo and Luke in it. Except for maybe Stange visitor to Hazzard or something like that. I wasn't too big of a fan of that episode.

Jay Cutler played a season with the Dolphins after he retired from the Bears...LOL

I appreciate you being a fare weather Bears fan for me LOL. No I really do appreciate you supporting them as far as they go or who they are or aren't playing. They aren't doing so hot today against the Lions. I hope they turn it around soon...

Thank you Roger. Yesss! it's a fun year to be a Bears fan. It's amazing the difference a great coach has on a team like the Bears. It's a difference of night and day from this year and last year. Hope we win tomorrow and make it far into the play offs!

Well there's more tragedy to hit NASCAR or at least a NASCAR driver. Denny Hamlin's parents' house caught on fire. His dad died and his mom was injured in the fire. Dennis Hamlin, father of racer Denny Hamlin, dies in house fire | NASCAR

Thank you Hobie :). It's good to see you too.

Thank you, Hobie. it feels good to be back.

Thank you Hoss. Yeah I would too .

I heard and read about Greg Biffle the day it happened. I am still in disbelief and my heart breaks for him, his family involved, and their friends and family that is left behind. I can't imagine losing a whole family like that. It's sad no matter who is involved, but NASCAR did lose a good guy with Greg Biffle. He was one of my favorite non-Hendrick drivers at the time he was racing - back in the good ol' days of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Plus, a dog lover... My Youtube has been pulling on the heart strings as they've been giving me Greg Biffle videos after it all happened. Including one where he was picking up his kids in his old Cadillac to pick up a Christmas tree and this video that I will share with you where he references Dukes of Hazzard: On a side note, Daytona is in 49 more days!!!!!

Hi y'all. Not much going on here lately. Sorry to have been silent for so long. I've been just hanging low lately. I started a new job at the end of August. It's going well, but it's been hard to go with change. I like the new job, though it has a financial drawback to it and I've been struggling a bit emotionally with it. I just wanted to drop a hi and a late Merry Christmas to y'all. Hope all is well with you all.

Garrett laughs and yells in excitement as he is carried into the Boar's Nest where they are greeted by Daisy with pitchers of beer and beer glasses where Garrett hops down and helps her pour the drinks and pass them around to everyone. Raising his glass, he says, "What an action packed and exciting race. Until next year!" he raises his glass, "Cheers to the best competition in the south!"

The farm vehicle or the musical group? LOL

Um...you can't be in Chicago and NOT see my Cubbies or Bears

I hope that your surgery will go well and that you will recover well afterwards.

That is no fun. I hope you are starting to feel better.

Garrett watches back from afar at everyone's emotions. "Well y'all," he finally says looking back at his car and back at them, "once I get this tire fixed, I'm off to The Boar's Nest. First round is on me if anyone wants to join." With that, he turns around and walks back to his car where he pulls out a spare tire and his equipment out from the trunk.

Garrett watches everyone cross the finish line and smiles as Jesse and Miz Tisdale argue with Deputy Strate. After they leave the deputy's area, he confidently walks over to them with his hands tucked in his pockets. "Well y'all," he drawls, "congrats on a great race. I haven't had that much fun, in. . ." he pauses and shrugs, "forever."

Garrett Duke's heart sinks heavily in anger and disappointment as he sees Hobie's car catch up besides him after holding such a beautiful lead over him only minutes before. Momentarily his reaction goes back to what he would have done a few years ago when he was in Atlanta and "accidently" swerve to run Hobie off the road, but he quickly dismisses that thought. He couldn't do that to Hobie or anyone in the race. Taking a deep breath, he does the only thing he can do and that is stand on the gas pedal and pray to cross the finish line first. "C'mon Spittin' Cobra," he hisses at his car, "don't fail me now. I'll patch you up and spoil you once we cross that line!" He pats the dashboard of his car and smiles as his beloved car responds with a jolt forward just as he reaches the finish line barely ahead of Hobie who crosses the line a half second after him. Garrett shows an unheard of reaction by pumping his fist up and says, "Way to go, Spittin' Cobra. You did it!" With that he pulls the car over to the right to park in a parking spot and slowly climbs out to watch the rest of the field come through the finish line to cheer them on.

Garrett allows a bit of excitement as the finish line comes into view several feet ahead. He glances behind to see his competition momentarily and as he looks ahead he hits a bump and cusses out loudly and regains control of his car. With the finish line coming he feels his passenger tire going flat. Frustrated, but not giving up, Garrett pushes the gas pedal farther down to force his car to go faster in hope of making it to the finish line ahead of everyone else.
