Thanks. It was not easy. About half a dozen times the upgrade broke and I had to run database updates manually. If I was not a technologically adept person, I would have torn all my hair out. But, HazzardNet is now ✨Modernized✨ and living in the 21st century with the rest of us. 😊 And I am not bald. 🤣

9 To 5 was my anthem when I was working in tech and was burned out. LOL. Some days, it was the only thing keeping me going. RIP Dolly.

Well, I finally updated the forums to the latest version. The company that makes the software was going to stop supporting it by the end of the year. It looks a lot different, so it will take some getting used to. I will probably be making changes here and there to settings, colors, layout, etc for a bit. If you run into any problems or you have any suggestions, please add them here or PM me. We're dragging HazzardNet kicking and screaming into the future! 🤣 RIP Old HazzardNet. You served us well. We'll miss you!

I posted an obituary here: https://www.hazzardnet.com/rip-ben-jones-1941-2026/

When you got to meet him, you felt like you were visiting an old friend again. He just made you feel that way. He'll be missed.

Unfortunately, it's true. His wife Alma confirmed he passed of a heart attack while waiting for the Braves' game to come on. He would've been happy to see them beat the Yankees today.

Ben's wife Alma has announced that Ben passed away of a heart attack today. There was no greater advocate for the show than Ben. He kept the spirit alive all these years with fan events and Cooter's Place. This is devastating. Feel free to share any experiences meeting Ben, kind words, favorite Cooter moments on the show, etc.

I waited to watch the 2005 movie until I could stream it free somewhere. I got out of it exactly what I paid for it.... nothin'.

I'm closing this thread. The last post was 5 years ago up until today. Let's keep HazzardNet a politics-free zone. Politics can get pretty heated and I don't want political arguments here, just good vibes. Feel free to argue over the true paint code of the General Lee as much as you want.

There's a pool back there.

So, there's been a lot going on with me lately and I obviously missed the July 8th or 9th date. I am too fatigued/brain fogged to do the update this week, so I'm going to shoot for the 22nd or 23rd. The site will be down in the wee hours as I completely back everything up and start the upgrade. There is also a good chance I will forget again. But the good news is I have til the end of the year to remember.

His house in Sherman Oaks was on almost half an acre and had a pool.

Oops. That's because I screenshot the wrong house... the one across the street. This is the correct house. It looks like one of them, either the Google Maps or the LA county fire site has it flipped.

He passed away in Sherman Oaks, so he may have moved or had more than one house. His Sherman Oaks home was sold in August of 1994, 6 months after he passed. The Sherman Oaks home looked to be on a much bigger lot and had a pool. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sherman-Oaks/14341-Millbrook-Dr-91423/home/4863818

I guess the Scots will need tae get behind Norway as they cannae get behind England. I'm about as much English as I am Norwegian, but I am about half Scottish, so... 🤷‍♀️

I was doing some research on Sorrell Booke and fell down a rabbit hole when I discovered he used to live in Pacific Palisades. My thoughts immediately went to wondering if his house was still standing after the wildfires in 2025. Sadly, the answer is no. I was thinking of posting this on the HazzardNet Facebook page, but it's kind of sad so I'm not sure. Thoughts?

Scotland is indeed its own country, but part of the UK. Just so you know, Roger, many Scottish fans are rooting for Mexico against England today. 🤣 There's a bit of a rivalry there.

They've been very generous in that respect.

It is! I have some Welsh ancestry. I will probably never learn Welsh. It sounds pretty hard.

I was 3 that year! My two sisters and I all had red, white, and blue matching swimsuits that summer.

Yes, I believe they were. That was the major selling point. But, I think by the time Dukes ran on TNN, cable was showing ads.

It's always a good time at the Boar's Nest.

I haven't watched any yet, but been keeping an eye on the scores. I'll probably watch a few over the weekend. I'm not a huge soccer (or what most of the world calls football) fan, but I catch a game every so often when I'm at my sister's house. One of my nieces played soccer throughout high school and I watched her games.
