Garrett Duke

Though, it's one that I like. Better is always good!

Yes it is...since he can't have much of a worse one than last season. LOL. Great way to stay positive, Roger .

Exactly how I feel...and have since the end of the 2023 NASCAR season. HA!

Thank you Roger. He will always have a special place in my heart as will Denver and Waylon. I am sorry for your losses. You have some big losses close together. That's extremely hard and have been thinking of you. *HUGS*

LOL I love it! I really wish I had made it...because that is 100% how I feel!

Well Jay Cutler did go there for a year after he left the Bears. Bears fans dissed Cutler like none other...I never understood it. I liked Cutler and was sad to see him go. I felt like I was in the minority. Ha. But being a Cubs fan since I was four years old has taught me a thing or two about being loyal...so I'll stick with my Bears in football. HA. And I don't know any NASCAR driver who likes the Dolphins. Or the Bears. That doesn't mean there isn't any. For the longest time I knew who every Hendrick driver's favorite football team was. Dale Jrs is the Redskins / Commanders. Johnson is Chargers, Gordon is the 49ers. Jr use to talk fantasy football during the race...LOL. Wish he would join my league! At least the Bears will get a good draft pick number this year. HA. Talking about fantasy sports...I got a fantasy NASCAR and fantasy baseball league if anyone is interested. All is free and all is fun. Baseball is with Yahoo! Fantasy Sports and NASCAR is on the NASCAR App (Also free) at NASCAR Fantasy Live. Let me know if you are interested. (I also have football with Yahoo....but that'll have to wait until next season now. HA)

Well everyone will be celebrating the Super Bowl tomorrow. I'll probably won't watch it, because the best team didn't even make the playoffs. LOL...Go Bears! But I will be rooting for the 49ers! Anyone want to guess why? That's Jeff Gordon's favorite team!!!! (And I am tired of hearing about and seeing Taylor Swift...who doesn't even play football. Who's not even on a team. Just dating a player. So give him the attention. Not her. Just saying...) Anyway, it's Jeff Gordon's favorite team, so that is why I am going for them. Plus the Bears' old kicker use to play for the 49ers before retiring before this season (the Bears were so dumb to trade Gould. Just saying...LOL). And Brock Purdy the 49ers QB use to play for Iowa State...which is my college team rivalry, but still in Iowa where I live (Im all for my Iowa Hawkeyes). Enough about football. I just want Jeff Gordon to be happy. The true Super Bowl is a week from tomorrow! I am so excited that NASCAR is finally here! Sadly, I won't be able to watch the Daytona 500 because I am suppose to be at an event for a friend. But I'll do my best to read up and keep you updated. The real racing starts after the 500 anyways. But still sad to miss out on it. Hopefully Chase Elliott will win!

That is always so hard. Sending hugs your way Roger. I am here if you need anything.

Thank you. I feel like I am. I keep thinking about him and still find it hard to believe that he is gone. Though I am relieved that he isn't fighting it any more and is no longer in pain. But still so hard...

Take your time and take care of you. We will be here for you when you return and understand.

Oh Roger. I am so sorry you found your mom and for your loss. That is so sad and hard. Sending hugs and prayers your way.

My heart is totally shattered at the loss of Toby Keith. He was one of my favorite singers and have loved his music from the start. I was heartbroken when I heard his diagnosis, but I assumed he was too tough and stubborn to not beat it. He was always so positive when talking about his health too. God earned an cowboy angel for sure and he will be missed dearly. God bless his soul.

Novel

Yep...or shorter or flat. LOL

They wouldn't get very far on mine or anywhere...LOL

Idea

Music

Exactly how I feel! It was the worst.

I totally agree. Though I didn't watch it until it was a rerun in the late 90s sometime. I don't think I've seen it since then. I do love the other cast, but it's not the same without Bo and Luke. And no one other than Bo and Luke should be driving the General Lee. LOL. I feel like that is how it goes in a lot of places where everyone tells the higher ups how it shouldn't be and then they don't listen, and it lands it their faces. Sad it happens like that. At least it onl.y lasted a season and Bo and Luke returned. Though if we are going to question the writer's abilities here...what about "Strange Visitor in Hazzard"? That is one Bo and Luke episode I can't do or will ever understand. LOL

I think I've only watched that season once and that was enough. It wasn't the actors' fault...if they got characters that weren't suppose to resemble Bo and Luke and try to have them act like them...but had cousins who were their own person with their own characteristics and looks, it probably would have been easier to accept. Still not Bo and Luke, but better than trying to copy them as if fans wouldn't know the difference. Sad for the actors who were placed in that role...but I also felt they didn't do that well of a job either as they always seemed to be reading off their lines. But they did what they had to do to get through it. It was definitely a great breath of fresh air when Bo and Luke returned from the circuit.

Garrett eyes the parking lot of the Boar's Nest as Roy turns into the parking lot and drives through it for a long moment before finding a parking spot by the door. As Roy throws the truck into park, Garrett states, "There's no ugly orange car in the parking lot." "So?" Roy questions as he yanks the keys out of the ignition and throws the door open. "Well," Garrett states, staring ahead at the old building before looking at Roy, "no ugly orange car normally means no Bo or Luke. Which means, no Bill or Ernie." "So? Since when you care about them?" Roy questions as he steps out, "It'll leave more beer for the two of us." Garrett rolls his hard eyes at him and shakes his head in frustration. "We're not here for the beer, you bird brain!" he snaps as he eyes the parking lot once again. "We're not?" Roy gives a pouting and disappointing face and Garrett lets out air in frustration. "OK fine. Are you coming? Maybe they're parked out back or maybe Cooter had to tow it away." Garrett shakes his head before he reluctantly opens the door and steps out as he watches people walking into the bar. "What are we going to do if they are here?" Roy asks as he as walks up to him, "What are you going to do when the law crashes the party? I mean you aren't exactly friends with them either." Garrett eyes him coldly for a moment. "We will warn Bill and Ernie," with that Hogg's white convertible comes driving into the parking lot, followed by Rosco's patrol car. "Let's go." With that, they quickly walk to the door and walk in before the law could find them. The noise of the crowded bar echoes loudly as Garrett and Roy slowly walk between customers, glancing around the bar. "I don't see them," Roy shouts in Garrett's ear, "Where are they?" Garrett eyes him for a long moment before Rosco dramatically throws open the door and shoots into the ceiling and everyone goes silent. "Freeze!" Rosco yells as everyone glares over at him, "Everyone freeze and hush your lips. We are on official business." He walks in and followed by Commissioner Hogg as they get to Garrett, Rosco purposefully runs into him, making him fall to his knees. He quickly stands up and rushes to get to him, only for Roy to quickly hold him back. "You too, Duke! Khee khee!" Rosco yells at him, eyeing the bar before back at Garrett, "Where are they?!" "Where is who?" Garrett stares blankly at Rosco as he shoves Roy off of him and Hogg stops besides Rosco. "Don't play dumb with us, boy!" Hogg shouts at him, pointing his lit cigar in his face. "Um Boss," Rosco states, "he ain't playing, on account, he is dumb!" Garrett shakes his head as patrons of the bar stare at them, anticipating a fight. "Very true, Rosco," Boss states before looking at Garrett, "let me rephrase my sheriff's question in a way you will better understand it." He hisses, blowing smoke into Garrett's face. "Where's that fancy race car friend and his mechanic? Where's your ugly brother and your cousin...you know, Bo and Luke Duke?" "Yeah. Them!" Rosco nods, waving a finger into Garrett's face and he quickly swats it away and Rosco glares angrily at him as he goes for his handcuffs, "I'll cuff and scuff you for assaulting an officer once again, Garrett Duke!" "Rosco! We aren't here for this loser. We are on official business. Now Garrett Duke, " Hogg glares at Garrett, "if you want to leave here a free man, you will be telling me where everyone's at." Garrett gives them a cold smile. "I wouldn't tell you," he finally states, "even if I knew where they were at." "You expect us to believe that you don't know where they are at?" Hogg asks angrily, "I wasn't born yesterday. Where are they?" "We just got here, Boss," Roy finally speaks up, "we don't know where they are. Honest." Boss and Rosco both look angrily at him. "No one asked you," Rosco spits at him, "this is between your criminal friend and us." "Well," Roy sputters, "I'm just trying to be helpful. Since y'all don't seem to believe him." "There's nothing to believe. He lies all the time," Boss snaps at him, "now if you know what's best you'd get back in that truck and get back to wherever it is you came from." Roy looks at Garrett and them. "I'll be fine. Go," Garrett nods at Roy to listen to the law, not wanting to get him in any trouble he may be in. Roy eyes him questionably for a moment and Garrett once again nods at the door for him to leave and he slowly backs away and walks outside. "We'll ask you one more time, Duke," Rosco finally states after Roy disappears, "where are they?" Garrett gives a frustrated smile. "I told you. Roy told you. I'll tell you again. I. Don't. Know," he states as he grabs a cigarette out of his pocket and lights it, blowing smoke back into their faces, "but all this is getting us nowhere, now, is it?" Rosco eyes Boss who shrugs and nods. "OK Duke. You are under arrest for assaulting an officer. Namely me. And for not cooperating with the law," he takes out his handcuffs, "I'll need you to put out that nasty thing." Garrett eyes them both coldly and looks around for an escape, but with everyone circling around them, he finds none. Shrugging, he takes a step over to a table and stabs out is cigarette into an ash tray and puts his hands up as if he is about to cooperating, before turning abruptly around and runs to the door in hopes of the people moving out of his way, which they do. Once past the people he runs back outside and into the parking lot and jumps into the bushes as Rosco runs out, looking both ways before Deputy Enos and Cletus pull up and block his way. Garrett watches as they discuss stuff at the car, before they park their car and Rosco eyes the parking lot once more and steps in side.

He broke his leg in a snowboarding accident in Colorado right before the season started last year. Hopefully he is not snowboarding or skiing right now... LOL.

It wasn't huh? What else is it you woulda thought? Or do I want to know? LOL
