(Thank-you to all who allowed me to perticipate in this RR and not telling me to get lost. It has been a long time since I last had participated in an RR and it was nice to be in one again. I had a lot of fun of writing and reading other people's posts and to see where it had led. Thank-you!)

Rose in Paradise - Waylon Jennings

Dang this is one I should know! I am going to go with what was said earlier with Undercover Dukes.

Well Roger you may have gone and done it...once I get started talking about baseball and NASCAR, I can't stop! HA HA HA. I am a huge NASCAR fan (if y'all haven't guess yet) and my all time favorite driver is and always will be Jeff Gordon with my second favorite driver being Jimmie Johnson (Gordon owns part of his car, so to me it's common sense to have him be my second favorite ). As for the NASCAR thread...hmmm. I can't think of it off the top of my head right now Roger, but if I think of it, I'll let you know. I use to post there too so maybe if I go back to my posting history I can find it. Am excited that the season has finally began and am looking forward to Bristol on Sunday (am always looking forward to the next race). Anyway, it is all thanks to Bo, Luke, and The General Lee taht I am a NASCAR fan...before '97 when I got back into the Dukes, I thought racing was a senseless sport - just a bunch of men chasing eachother in circles, might as well as watch the dog chase his tail. (HA HA) Now look at me...I'm a huge fan that very seldom misses a race (All thanks to Bo and Luke.) As for baseball...I have been a Chicago Cubs fan since I was four so now I am a die hard Chicago Cubs fan. GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon Roger, have a little faith and pride in your Pirates! At least they aren't tagged with "The Loveable Losers" as the Cubs are. Ryne Sandberg will always be my favorite baseball player and am very excited to see him be promoted up to be the new manager for the Des Moines AAA Cubbies with his next promotion he'll be back in a Chicago Cubs uniform. Though Derrek Lee is my favorite current active Cub player who is their first baseman. If that makes any sense. I am slowly getting into football and the Chicago Bears, but still have a lot to learn about them or a long ways to go before I get as excited about football as I am about baseball and NASCAR. As I said earlier, am glad that it is finally NASCAR season and am highly looking forward to baseball season to start up in a couple of weeks. I love this thread, Roger. Way to go starting it...am looking forward to hear what everyone else has to say.

Whose Cheatin' Who - Alan Jackson

Tonight I wanna cry - Keith Urban

The Cowboy in Me- Tim McGraw

God's been good to Me - Keith Urban (another surprise, huh?)

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy - Kenny Chesney (this surprise anyone? HA HA. Anyone get the hint yet that I like Kenny Chesney's music? )

Almost as good as hockey? *shocked look* Nothing is better than baseball...or NASCAR. HA HA. My opinion of course. Am not a hockey fan, guess I never took the time to sit down and watch it or to understand the sport. Though being a Cubs fan, I will not hold it against ya. GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! KHEE! Oh I am with you one hundred precent...am so excited for baseball season to start up.

She's a Big Star - Kenny Chesney (Bet y'all see another pattern herer as well. HA HA. Easy to tell who my favorite singers are. )

Welcome to HNet TJ - I hope you do set up camp and stick around awhile! It's always great to meet new Duke fans! Hope you enjoy it here!

*After visiting Chet for a few minutes and after telling him I'd be back, slowly leave court house and walk back to motorcycle, taking in the crowd at the clinic. silently wondering what it's all about. Not one to nose around and ask question, climb onto motorcycle.*

You are welcome.

*Meanwhile, I slowly direct my motorcycle into town after reaching the outskirts of town only to rethink my decision of leaving town for awhile and to hide out despite being safe, had changed my mind. Parking my motorcycle back in front of the court house, I notice how everyone has left, including Chet's still body, and silently wonder where everyone is at. Getting off my motorcycle, I slowly begin to walk towards the court house, ignoring the constant pain the screams at my from my chest. Walk to the court house with thought of visiting Chet despite what Brian had said Chet had said towards me. Afterall, Chet had opted to have me live over his beloved horse. I at least owe him a thanks whether or not he wants to hear it or to see me. Rubbing my chest a moment, I walk the steps before turning around to find cars back at the clinic and wonder what is going on there. Wonder if it all is starting all over again, this time without me.* (Sorry to post and run, but I'll be away from my computer for awhile, but will be back)

Roger- You are the only one I know that would want to buy a dirty old truck if they won the lottery. Though, if I win the lottery before you, I'll buy one just for you for giving you such a hard time. I'll even run it through my muddy parking lot just make sure it's dirty...

You got it...that'd be fun! A Cubs fan in Canada? It's great! GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!!

GeneralLeeGirl- No need to run and hide...I am attempting to understand how anyone could not like NASCAR. HA HA. Only teasing of course. Everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes. And sorry for the change of topics...once I get on the topic of NASCAR, I can go on and on with it. HA HA. As for your question...Paul Tracy's name sounds familiar but he don't currently drive on the Sprint Cup Series that I follow. I will look it up as to which one he does...in NASCAR there is three series. The Camping World Series which is where they race trucks and the Nationwide Series which is kinda like what AAA baseball is to MLB if that makes sense. Sprint Cup Series is the big time circuit where Cale Yorobough and Richard Petty use to race, now it's names like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Jr, Stewart and so forth race on. There are other types of racing though too...but am thinking that Paul Tracy's name sounds somewhat familiar. I don't follow or watch the truck series or Nationwide, though do kinda look who wins what and what not if I think about it so maybe he races one of those. OK I lied. Couldn't find him on those pages so I googled his name and this is what I came up with. http://www.paultracy.com/ didn't read too much into it, but looks like an indy car maybe. Could be wrong. Hope that helps. Talking of Canada, Jeff Gordon (my all time favorite NASCAR driver) is helping to design a NASCAR track in Canada somewhere. I am very interested to see what it looks like and if the Sprint Cup would go there. Not that I'd be able to, but still interested...

Guitars and Tiki Bars - Kenny Chesney

He's part of Jr Nation, huh? LOL. (Jr has been voted as the most popular driver for seven years now...therefore JR Nation.) Don't know if Cale has a son or a grandson, would be interesting to know though and see if they decided to come into NASCAR. If I hear, I'll let you know. As for another orange 01 car in NASCAR, I haven't heard of it. There are a couple of orange cars out there...Jeff Burton's car is orange kinda and is 31...at least has a one in it. HA HA. Not the same though. Only here can we go from talking of belt buckles to NASCAR.

Oooooo a NASCAR question... I think I know the answer to this one, so if it is wrong, someone please let me know. I think NASCAR (the officials and the head people of NASCAR) is who owns the numbers and gives them to the car owners or team owners who hands them to the drivers. Well Roger, I suppose you are forgiven for not watching or liking NASCAR. You've got a legit excuse to not watching it or following it - though in my opinion, you are missing out. HA HA. Kids are great and you need to enjoy them while you can at the age and stage they are in. They grow so quickly. So enjoy your grandchildren, Roger, you are deserving of it. Well, your friend sounds like he knows his NASCAR. Glad to hear that I am not the only NASCAR fanatic. Though I have to ask, who does he follow...or who's his favorite driver? (Sorry....as I said, had to ask. I am always curious as to who is everyone's favorite driver is for some odd reason.) It would be interesting to hear which drivers likes or use to watch the Dukes. You are probably right that most or some of them were fans at one time or another. I know, if it weren't for the Dukes, I wouldn't like NASCAR. Before I got into the Dukes, I thought any sort of racing like NASCAR was a senseless sport - after all all they do is chase each other in circles for a few hours every week. Might as well as watch the dog chase it's tail - it's not as long and for the most part it won't get hurt. But now look at me...I can't stand to miss a race and look forward to the next race. Thanks to Bo, Luke, and The General Lee. Gotta love it! (OK Roger...my lips are now sealed. Bo and Luke won't hear it from me. )

Nice list/picture of cars, MaryAnne. Especially liked the firebird one...good luck at winning the lottery!
