Great photo Hoss...they really get into their sponsors and such. Twelve guys behind the wall and working on the car in pits sounds like a lot of bodies to get in the way of each other. But obviously they make it work otherwise they wouldn't have that much. If I recall correctly, NASCAR can have only seven. Not sure if that is the amount that can work on the car at a time or that is behind the wall. Do know if they are over, they will get in trouble for it.

Garrett feels forgotten about...he'll be gladly surprised with Lori's surprise visit.
We are the opposite. LOL. My series is usually first person while my single stories are third person and normally just the TV characters. POVs are hard. My problem with first person, I always worry about repeating myself or find myself repeating myself in other characters POV or even the same sometimes. I need to find a way to get past that. LOL. But yeah, your advice did come in handy and I appreciate all your help. I think I will rewrite Hogg's POV, rethink of a new start, and go with first person. Stick with what I am comfortable with and stick to my routine. (I say that now...wait a day, a week, a month my opinion may change. LOL!) Thanks again!

Well I posted to this when it originally got started, but thought I'd update my list Am not too big on watching movies at home, just because it takes time and I don't usually find that much time together to watch a movie...if I do, I usually end up spending it online or writing if I am lucky. 1. Smokey and the Bandit (the first S&B. Still ranks as my all time favorite movie!) 2. Cars (may be a kids movie, but I still find it to be a great movie. It being about racing, cars, and has Dale Jr, Darrell Waltrip, John Andretti, Richard Petty and his wife all in it - it has to be a great movie! ) 3. Black Dog (Haven't seen it in a long time, but still a good movie in my book!) 4. Remember the Titans (I guess my favorites hasn't really changed afterall...just added Cars to the mix.) Can't really think of any other movie right now...sure there are more. S & B 1 and Cars are my all time favorite movies.

My Last Name - Dierks Bently (Hoss...well I guess technically your Talk, Talk, Talk would be three words in a sense, but since it is the same word, it'd have the same affect as if you just put : Talk, down. Now wouldn't it? )

Hoss - those are neat pictures. That's awesome that the crew decked out for it and all. I have a small Jeff Gordon car at home that has Star Wars on the hoods...So I am assuming that he was sponsored by the movie for one race, though don't remember seeing it or when it was. I highly doubt his crew cheif and crew got all decked out like that though for it! Hopefully they were able to take the costumes off during the race...could see where the outfits would slow down pit stops. (Do they make pit stops in F1? If not, they miss a lot of excitement. LOL) Thanks for sharing that with us, Hoss!

(Thanks for chosing another song! LOL. I felt bad for going with the one word song, though didn't know of any other song to use. ) I wanna talk about me! - Toby Keith

Hoss C - Great question. You are remembering correctly. He was and is sponsored by the Army. (I had to go look it up to make sure he was still sponsored by them! LOL) But he is. Each driver has tons of sponsors, but have one or two that is the primary sponsor that holds the biggest logo on the car and is the one most known for that car (Like Army for Newman, or Dupont for Gordon (sadly, Dupont is dropping Gordon as his primary sponsor so he is currently in the search for another primary sponsor Dupont has been with him his entire career!), or Lowe's for JJ). But some drivers do have other sponsors that are bigger than the others (Like Gordon has both Pepsi and National Guard that he occasionally has a car for - though starting next year National Guard is going to be focused upon Jr.) So, I didn't see Newman's car, but I am sure it is a lesser sponsor than Army, but does sponsor him pretty heavily for him to have a car of it. I know Tornadoes sponsors him and he has a car or two for them. If that makes sense. Ryan Newman has a Dukes connection...he lives down the road from James Best and Best helps support Newman's charity or foundation which is to support animal shelters for dogs and cats. Yeah the fight for second place was great between Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson. I was pulling for Jimmie to pass Busch, but he just couldn't quite do it. Too bad to, don't think JJ would have complained about finishing second as Kyle Busch did. My opinion, of course.

I guess I am more comfortable keeping my series writing in first POV...my comfort zone I guess you can call it. And my solo stories in third point of view. Odd isn't it. Though my solo or single stories don't normally have any of my created characters, just the show characters. You have pretty much said how I felt so I will most likely keep it as it is, just have to figure out how to do the bad guys and Boss. Like right now, I got chapter one started for Boss, but it is in third person...and I like how it is right now. Don't think I could get it in first person and have it be the same, I'd have to start all over...wouldn't be the end of the world I guess. LOL
Thank-you for your help. I guess I just worry about no one reading my story and not liking it because it is in first POV and all. I appreciate all of your advice. As of now, I think I am going to take your advice and keep it the same. Perhaps change the bad guys...I don't know. LOL. Thanks again!

Wow you got Garrett pegged pretty well! LOL. He is completely two sided...he wants the attention, but when he gets it, he's upset about it. He is never satisfied.
Garrett would enjoy a visit from Lori...though he'd never verbally admit it of course. He'd have to ditch his attitude and ego in order to do that and for some reason he don't seem willing to ditch any of them.
Glad Lori is behaving herself. Sounds like she likes her new atmosphere...her new job and role in her muse-life. Which is good...even if it isn't in Hazzard county.

Mystery in Hazzard Swamp

*Bo finishes his coffee and sets his cup down only to question his own stubborn pride that had denied Jesse's offer to help with his aching body. Stiffly standing up just to move around, Bo slowly states, "If it'll help you, you better take it." Bo pauses as he eyes the tent and shakes his head and looks back at Jesse, "I'm not going to be resting any more, so we might as well as pack up."* -

Thanks Roger, I'd appreciate being kept up on the show. I don't watch the show, but am interested in how Chase does...especially now that I betted for him. Thanks...hope you good luck too.

*Bo forces a smile at his uncle's last statement while getting upset at himself for his statement of going home and taking pain medicine before going to bed in his own bed. Bo slowly shakes his head, not wanting to offend his uncle, but stubbornly states, "Thanks Jesse, but I'm fine."* -
I'd say it's official, but if you really want a spit hand shake. . . *Spits in hand* (Easy mistake. I assumed that is what had happened.)

That's nice of you to watch it to hang out with your wife. That's cool that there is someone close by that is on it for you to follow and watch. *Shakes hand* Agreed...you go for your doctor girl and I'll for for my NASCAR guy. I'm betting the NASCAR guy will win it...after all he goes through each weekend, Survivor will be a piece of cake for him. As for your Kendricks remark...I can't believe you of all people would get your own favorite driver's team wrong. Afterall JJ does drive for Hendrick Motorsports (though Jeff Gordon owns half of JJ's car! ) But I guess, you're forgiven. Just this time though!

Mystery in Hazzard Swamp
Garrett Duke replied to RogerDuke's topic in Role Playing - Original Characters
*Bo gives his uncle a surprised and startled look at his questions before he sets his cup of coffee down and quickly stands up to greatly regret doing so as he fights off a heavy wayve of dizziness. As the world comes to a halt around him, Bo asks with his voice full of emotions, "Give up? Just like that you wanna pack up and go home? What in the world would that accomplish?" Bo pauses as he attempts to inhale deeply to control his emotions which is always hard for him to do. "I'll tell you what it'd accomplish. Nothing. We'd have came out here for nothing. I nearly got myself killed by that beast and you just want to walk away? We just quit and go home now, all this would be for nothing." He points at himself. "Don't get me wrong, Jesse, I'd love to get outta this place and go back home. Go home and take a nice hot shower, take some pain pills, and go to sleep in my own bed. Your idea of quitting, is appealing and tempting. But since when have you so easily quit when people's lives are at stake? I could have been killed. I was lucky that you showed up when you had. . ." He lets his voice trail off momentarily. "But next time? Next time who ever it is, may not be so lucky. Next time it could be Andrew, Molly, or Alice or any other crazy swamp person to surprise him or get in his way or upset him in some way. If that happens after we give up, then their death is on our shoulders for walking away." Bo shakes his head and inhales deeply. "Despite what I want, I don't think giving up and going home is an option. Not until that beast is put to rest or captured or whatever you have planned to take care of the beast to get him out of harm's way." Bo goes quiet and slowly makes his way back to his log to sit back down. Looking at Jesse he states, "It's Halloween? Ain't life ironic."* -

Well Roger, I looked it up online (Google is so great!) and watched a little video of him talking. Well he didn't say which team he worked for so I went back to Google and didn't get an exact answer, but he is a jackman for Hendrick...which is the team that Gordon and Johnson race for! Heard a fan say he is on Hendrick's developmental or something like that team. But someone went to Jayski.com which is full of NASCAR stats and info and came up with that he had to work for Mark Martin (number five car) since they listed everyone else's jackman, and not Martin's. So it's not conclusive by any means, but it's a start. Never watched or followed Survivor, but I REALLY hope that Chase Rice will win the whole thing! (He's on leave from NASCAR to do the show...) Excited that it is someone from NASCAR, even more excited to hear it is a jackman who works for a Rick Hendrick team. Thanks Roger for the info! Without you, I'd never have known that! (What ya know, there is something in NASCAR I didn't know about! )

Thanks Roger! At least I know something about something. Never thought I'd ever get hooked into watching and knowing about NASCAR. Thirteen years ago, I'd never believe you if you told me I'd even think of sitting down and watching an entire race: not alone to be a fan of the sport. Thanks to Bo and Luke for showing me that there is more to the sport than just a bunch of men chasing each other around in circles! Now I'm hooked! LOL Roger...was thinking the same thing. Chase would be a great race name. Wonder if his parents are into racing as well. I'll have to look it up. It said Kendricks Motorsports? Don't recall that name. Are you sure it said Kendricks and not Hendrick Motorsports? Just wondering...As I said, I'll have to go look it up. Thanks for the info.
