Garrett Duke

Notably nice and friendly is what Cooter is. Hope you get to meet him again!

Yeah I wouldn't know about Cooter's truck, just was surprised to see Jesse's truck a Chevy. But yeah, that's not much to complain about. LOL. Had a great time and am glad I got to go. My mom bought me an early x-mas gift by buying one of Jimmie's General lee paintings. I am excited for you Roger! I bet you are excited...I am glad you are able to go. You'll have a blast. You get to see The General jump?! I saw that the Dukefests I went to and it was great! You'll have to tell me all about it! Hope you get to meet a lot new fans there, Roger. There was Duke fans there yesterday, but never really talked to them.

Rosco was great to talk to, made my day to see him smile after wishing him a happy birthday to get a hand shake. Hugged them both. But all in all, think I talked to Cooter a bit longer than ol' Rosco.

Roger - thanks for the comments you made! I had a blast yesterday and yes I am missing the race today, but it was better to be able to see James and Ben, so I am not complaining too badly. LOL. Rosco didn't chase me around...he just had surgery on his eyes so he don't need glasses so I don't think he was chasing anyone around. Though he missed his chance, he could have had a chance to catch me yesterday as I was just too excited to meet him and Ben to do much running away. LOL. I wished him an early birthday and his face lit up which made me glad that I remembered to do so. And I did need Cooter a couple of weeks ago...sure he wouldn't have charged me over thirteen hundred dollars to fix it...LOL (though can't complain they were nice about it and did a good job with it. Just wasn't Cooter...) but my mom had joked with him asking him when she can bring her ailing car to him. HA HA. He joked back and said to bring it on Monday and that not to worry about the cost because the boys never paid him and they're way over owing three thousand dollars. HA HA!!!! They were very personable. I met them both at Dukefest several years ago and they were too busy to get to personable with anyone, so it was nice to be at a lesser scale of events with them so they could talk more and be more relaxed. Even got to hear a story or two from Ben of his mom. It was a very nice day all in all. Though I do have one complaint...I got a Johnny Lightning Uncle Jesse truck from one of the sellers there. Got home to see that the truck was a Chevrolet. Am I wrong thinking Jesse's truck was a Ford? Guess I am too picky. Oh well...can't complain too much. All I am missing in cars now is Cooter's tow truck.

Well I got home a couple of hours from being at Lightning Fest where Ben Jones and James Best was at. Had a great time! They both were very personable and great. Was surprised that Jones had a lot more people in his line than ol' Rosco had in his, but he did have a few in a line at most times. Got a hug from both James and Ben. Saw several General Lees and patrol cars. Plus, there was lot of matchbox type cars in the store plus sellers in another room. I finally got Uncle Jesse's truck, Daisy's roadrunner, and the 00 car! Now all I need is Cooter's tow truck and I'll be all set...and Enos' patrol car. LOL Anyway, didn't know where to put this so I thought here would do. If anyone else was able to go yesterday or today would love to hear about it. I had a great time being there and talking to both Ben and James! It is great to see them out making appareances like this and keeping the show alive!

That was interesting Daney. Thanks for sharing it...sadly I write like someone I never heard of before. David Foster Wallace.

Though Jimmie Johnson is my second favorite driver, my all time favorite driver is Jeff Gordon and he needs to win more than Jimmie Johnson does!

Everyone better run for the mountains!

Darn rigt I'm depressed about having no race to watch this weekend. Without the race to watch, I'm bound to create some trouble since I now have nothing better to do.

Bo 37 Luke 42 Jesse 23

Exacly what I wanted to do. Be the first person in Hazzard history to cross both lines at the same time. Ain't I talented?

Ooooh good idea, Roger. Sadly, I haven't seen an Duke ep in a loooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg time. So I could get some racing in and the Dukes all at the same time. NOw if only I can remember to do it...lol.

Bo 37 Luke 41 Jesse 24

Great. The radio is now broken. I know any logical and reasonable radio would never say such a rediculious thing as that! Though Roger, am confused. Did I cross over the line to stupidity or bravery?

David Reutimann drives the 00 car and he races for Michael Waltrip (Darrell Waltrip's younger brother.). If you seen that Toyota commercial with Denny Hamilin with the boy making a love car for NASCAR...David Reutimann at the end of the commercial is the one that says "I love love." Don't know if that helps you any...LOL This is his second win and he normally runs mid pack which is probably why you don't know who he is that well. I am going to be soooo lost this weekend without a race to watch, don't know what I'm going to do. I can't believe NASCAR would take a week off like this...that they would do this to me! What'm I suppose to do now? Oh well at least it is only a week (though it'll seem a lot longer than that, I assure you.) instead of three months like the off season. Hopefully I can find a Cubs game to watch to replace the race, but still not the same. You skipping out on the races until the chase, Roger? You're going to miss out on Indianappolis in two weeks? Think of all the excitement you are missing out. Guess that's only seven races your missing out on, but you know what they say? You miss a lap, you miss all the excitement. (Ok it goes something like that, can't think of it exactly.) Ah not to worry, I'll be more than glad to keep y'all up to date on the races. (Sorry to give you a hard time, Roger...had to do it. Please don't be mad at me. ) TXDaisy - I never noticed the initials before seeing the article heading that stated that. I wonder if Jimmie had that planned or if it is just coincidence. Guess the article states that Jimmie said it was coincidence...Thanks for letting me know about the photo! She is a cutie! I wonder if Jimmie will do what Jeff does with Ella (and hopefully his son when he is born...) where he keeps a photo album online on his site of pictures of Ella (his 3 year old daughter). Would be neat if Jimmie would do the same with Genevieve...though would understand why if he doesn't. Just would be neat if he did... You are welcome...thank you for allowing me to give my NASCAR reports. NASCAR is one of the very few things I know about so I enjoy talking/watching it and so forth.

Unless I want to be disrespected and kicked around I have to stick up for myself whether it be Roger or anyone else. Besides, Jami, by now, Roger has to know me well enough to know that I'm only giving him a hard time.

Well Jimmie Johnson and his wife, Chandra, have now given their baby girl another name, other than Baby J that they've been calling her. Their daughter's name is: Genevieve Marie Johnson. Which is a pretty name and unique. Am looking forward to see pictures...has to be a cute little girl. Wish Jimmie and Chandra congratulations on their little bundle of joy. Sure Jimmie is glad for a week off to catch up on sleep (hopefully, though unlikely. ) and to be with his girls as much as possible.

Yes, I do respect my elders, Roger...when the elders respect me. You see...I treat others the way they tret me. With that said, allow me to give you my condolences then, since I have now given them dang goats Uncle Jesse's freshly made stew to leave Roger to eat the rotten celery and carrots that were left out for the goats to eat.
