    If you want a Moonrunners connection, Arthur Hunnicutt appeared in a 1960 episode of The Andy Griffith Show. He was Uncle Jesse Hagg in Moonrunners.

    It's a season later in 'Bad Day in Hazzard'. Homer and three townsfolk are in his shop when Boss is forced to make his evacuation broadcast on the radio.

    Welcome to HNet, MoonRunner.

    Andrew D Charger Chaser's My Ultimate General Lee build in 1/25 thread has a couple of pictures of him making the antenna near the bottom of the page. There's also a scratch-built CB, but no close-ups or construction pictures. I don't think Andrew's been around here for a while - hopefully he'll be back soon.

    You could try contacting Jim85IROC. He's building four different R/C versions of the General at 1/10 scale. His Radio Control Dukes cars thread mentions printing his own decals (and 3D printing parts).

    Did you notice how Homer told Rosco that the "Duke boys just robbed me. Picked me clean as a chicken.", yet Rosco immediately upgraded the crime and told Boss "You know, there's nothing like starting the day with a good armed robbery." Homer never claimed that the Dukes were armed, he just said that they'd robbed him.

    BTW. A bit of Dukes trivia: In which other episode does Homer Griggs make an uncredited cameo?

    2021 IndyCar champion Alex Palou will drive a McLaren F1 car in first practice at this weekend's US Grand Prix. After a contract dispute, he's expected to drive for the McLaren IndyCar team in 2024.

    (He has credits on about half of all episodes of Dukes as either creative consultant or executive producer. Sadly, he died at 45, a year before Dukes finished.)

    HossC got a reaction from Skipper Duke in RIP Angela Lansbury   
    Angela Lansbury has died just 5 days before her 97th birthday. She passed away in her sleep at her LA home. Born in London in 1925, when she wasn't in LA, she spent a good bit of time at her home in Co. Cork here in Ireland.

    I'm sure we all remember her as Jessica Fletcher in 'Murder She Wrote'. Here she is entering the former Duke Farm at Valencia Oaks in the 1988 episode 'Coal Miner's Slaughter', an episode which also featured Denver Pyle and Celebrity Speed Trap victim Hoyt Axton. The rest of my pictures are in the Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch thread.

    For another Dukes tie-in, from 1976 to 1981, Cathy Bach was married to Angela's stepson David Shaw.

    By 'modern dating techniques', I first thought that you meant ways to meet women. The Vikings certainly did that in their own well-documented manner!
    It seems to get bigger each year, but it mainly means that the shops are full of plastic rubbish for a couple of months before the Christmas stuff comes out. Don't forget that Jack-o-lanterns or carved vegetables for Halloween originated in Ireland.

    I didn't think I'd be up in time to watch the Japanese Grand Prix this morning, but the race was red flagged due to rain after a couple of laps. There was then a long delay before they restarted and raced for about 40 minutes, which took them up to the end of the time limit window.

    The race was won from pole by Max Verstappen, who drove a great race and pulled out a nearly 30-second lead in the limited running and terrible weather conditions. Max's team mate, Sergio Perez, made it a team 1-2 after second placed driver and title contender Charles Leclerc was given a 5-second penalty for gaining an advantage by leaving the track on the last bend. Behind them, Lewis Hamilton had a great battle with Esteban Ocon, but couldn't get past, and Ocon's team mate, Fernando Alonso, couldn't get past Sebastian Vettel even with fresher tires. Finishing in ninth, Williams driver Nicholas Latifi picked up his first points of the year - the last full-time driver to do so.

    After the race there was some confusion over the points due to rules concerning races that don't go full distance. Apparently it makes a difference whether the race finishes on the track or under a red flag, so it wasn't until the top three drivers were in the cool-down room before the trophy presentations that they were able to announce that Max Verstappen had won his second World Championship with four races still to go. He's dominated this season by winning 12 of the 18 races so far.

    There was some controversy just before the initial red flag because a recovery vehicle was on the track as at least one car passed it at speed. Eight years ago, French driver Jules Bianchi died after hitting a recovery vehicle at the same event in similar conditions.

    If you've never seen F1 cars race in the rain, you can check out the highlights here. The next race is the US Grand Prix from Austin in two weeks' time.

    A bit of driver news: Pierre Gasly is moving to Alpine next year to make an all-French line-up alongside Esteban Ocon. Former Formula 2 champion Nyck de Vries takes his place at Alpha Tauri after impressing while standing in for Alex Albon last month.

    The place where I live had a local celebration day today. There were apparently various family fun events, and some of the local tourist attractions had free entry. Unfortunately, we had terrible weather and it hardly stopped raining all day.

    I inquired about doing the brewery tour, which I've never done before, but that was limited to three tours before I got there mid-afternoon, so that's something for another day.

    In the end, a friend and I looked around the medieval merchant's house and garden. The buildings are around 400 years old and have been fully restored, but the garden was only reconstructed about 14 years ago - pictures there show it was used as a parking lot up until then!
