The Dukes had to got to town to get OATS for Maudine

Could it have been 'The New Yankee Workshop'? Norm Abram, who was also on 'This Old House', made some amazing items out of wood on that show.

I hope they weren't driving anything considering how many Guinnesses they were drinking!

I've just spent the evening at a bar (very unusual for me) listening to a couple of local guys playing live music on acoustic guitars. It was a good mix of traditional Irish songs and old favorites. What surprised me was the number of Americans at the bar. The first people I spoke to were from just across the Indiana border from Chicago, but there were three groups from California (Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles), one from Seattle and another from Florida. I know where I live is a popular tourist destination, but I rarely get to speak to the visitors.

At least it didn't do her any lasting damage!

I'm still here. I've been here every day reading posts, but I've been trying to shake a head cold all week, and didn't realize that I hadn't posted since Monday.

WARREN Berlinger played Benswanger in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'

I assume they're talking about 'Redneck Boy in the Promised Land: The Confessions of "Crazy Cooter"'. It came out in 2008.

Max Verstappen took pole for the Italian Grand Prix with Lando Norris just ahead of team mate Oscar Piastri. The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were next in front of their home crowd, the famous Tifosi, but Lewis had a 5-place grid penalty from the previous race weekend, so started 10th. Max's pole lap was the fastest in F1 history with an average speed of 164.466mph. Sadly for Nico Hulkenberg he was told to retire his Sauber on the way to the grid. At the start, Lando pulled alongside Max at the first corner, and although Max left the corner first, he was told by his team to give Lando the place to avoid a penalty as he'd left the track to keep the position. Charles also passed Oscar, but Oscar soon regained the place. Max also retook the lead on lap 4. Late in the race when McLaren made their pit stops they had a problem with Lando's wheel which dropped him behind Oscar. Much to Max's amusement, Oscar was told to let Lando past. Max went on to take his third win of the year with Lando and Oscar behind. The win also set a record for the fastest F1 race in history at just 1 hour 13 minutes and 24.325 seconds. George Russell was fifth, sandwiched between the Ferraris of Charles and Lewis. Finishing second with his team mate in third, Lando narrowed the gap in the drivers' to 31 points. You can see the race highlights here. The next race is the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku in two weeks.

A couple of pieces of F1 news. Firstly, Cadillac F1 recently announced F1 veterans Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will be their drivers next season. Now they've added IndyCar race winner Colton Herta as their test driver. Secondly, Irish driver Alex Dunne gets his second chance to drive an F1 McLaren in the first practice session this weekend at Monza.
