    I've taken my DoH shirts out of rotation for a while cause I just don't want to deal with the questions or accusations while I'm out running errands at stores even though neither shirt has a confederate flag. There's an african american guy that works at one of the local stores I go to that grew up on the dukes too, we had a chat about the show one time when he seen me wearing one of my shirts. He still wants a 68-70 Charger in orange .

    On with the Race Review...Blu Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville... Joey Logano won the first stage. Jimmie Johnson came on strong for the 2nd stage win and looked to have the car to beat for the race but then came along Martin Truex jr who took the lead on lap 370 and never looked back. The rest of his teammates didn't fair so well all finishing outside the top 10 and off the lead lap. Penske racing teammates finished 2,3, and 4th with Chase Elliot finishing 5th. Matt Dibenedetto had a good night finishing 7th in the Wood Bros. #21. Jimmie Johnson finished 10th Dale Earnhardt Jr will be back behind the wheel this weekend at the Xfinity race Saturday June 14th.

    Oh it is insane. There's calls for Disney to change the theme and rename Splash Mountain because it's supposedly based off of Song of the South. Lady Antebellum has dropped Antebellum from their name. Gone with the Wind has been removed from streaming services. I'm just waiting for the What's Next to be Banned from here on out because it offends one person. Paw patrol hasn't been cancelled yet but their is a bunch of people calling for it to be cancelled https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/10/arts/television/protests-fictional-cops.html right along with Law and Order and other cop procedurals. Cops is still on streaming services such as Pluto tv for now if you wish to watch it. I apologize too if I push the boundary a bit much as I sometimes rant a bit.
  4. This is actually one of the episodes my wife likes watching. Usually I hear a big sigh when I put a Dukes episode in but not this one, she gets a kick out of this one. IIRC from an interview John Schneider was either sick or injured and that's why he wasn't in this episode.

  6. Wow I had no idea there was a book like that for DoH, gonna have to add that to my Birthday gift list the wife is hounding me for. I have The Simpsons episode guides and Star Trek ones that I read while watching whatever season of those shows. I see there's a 2nd "Guide" book by Billie Ray Bates though it looks like it isn't an Episode guide, more or less just about the show and movies and some of the characters. And found a paperback novel, gonna have to keep my out for that one at the local Book Sales.
  7. My in laws and their neighbors lost power for a while, guess a tree took out a power line out by them. Sandusky seems to have gotten the worst of the wind, blew down one of the older buildings in town, the bricks crushed a few cars but nobody was injured. Brother in law learned that kittens aren't easy and now I'm trying to find a pet place that will take the little kitten in. The place that was lined up the other day to take it in is now full. Doesn't help that their dog is a mean varmint otherwise they'd probably keep the kitten. Wish their dog was more like Flash and less like Cujo, dang'dest thing is it's the same breed as Flash.
  8. For all the BS that was coming out of all the local weather forecasters mouths all day we were expecting the storm of the century instead of the 2 minute downpour we got. 'Batten down the hatches', 'make sure your flashlights have good batteries' etc.etc... they said. Guess I should be happy we didn't have a bad thunderstorm but we sure could've used more rain than what we got.

    Nascar officially bans the confederate flag from race tracks. https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/06/10/nascar-bans-confederate-flag-from-all-its-events/ On a side note if you have not bought the new smaller packaging Dukes of Hazzard complete tv series you might want too if you need it, it has been already removed from my local Walmart's shelves. Don't know if it's a company wide thing or just local manager's decisions.

  12. I say let them do it then the ones calling for it will really know what it's like to live in a 3rd world country run by criminals. I know one thing if one of the cities actually does that all the honest hard working people will make a mass exodus out of there right along with a bunch of businesses and stores. I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a mass resigning in the minneapolis police dept. since the protestors are calling for the dept. to be disbanded. What kind of irks me is George Floyd is being honored like he was a Saint but he wasn't, yet Police Chief David Dorn who was killed trying to stop looters is basically being ignored. He's the one who should be getting a a hero's send-off. Have to get everything I had planned to do yesterday done today before the rain comes in since the car was in the muffler shop all day yesterday. They forgot to mention on their FB page that they only do drop offs now and don't allow anyone to wait while the vehicles are serviced. Due to the construction around here it took me over an hour to walk back home the long way and of course when I get home they called and said the car was ready . Told them I'd pick it up when the wife got out of work. Had to postpone a grass reseeding job too today which sucks as it's supposed to be in the mid 90's today.

  14. Yeah obviously they don't have jobs. Everyday this week there's been a protest here or there around here. At least they were all peaceful except for one day. If you had protests in that county that's probably where the new cases came from. I expect within two weeks the USA will hit a new peak of covid19 cases especially in cities where a lot of people protested. Wouldn't surprise me if we have a 2nd lockdown soon. By the end of the month everything should be opened back up here in Ohio including amusement parks. Kayaking sounds like fun, last time I was in the water was in a canoe and had a blast. What kind of kayak do you have Roger? Was a busy weekend for us. From the in laws finding a 5 week old kitten behind the barn of the house they rent in the country and we went and picked it up to find a foster home here and then they decide they want to keep it so we took it back to them today. And my wife's Uncle and Aunt we visited last week needing a ride back home after car trouble. I ended up buying a bunch of plants at this one lady's annual plant sale and clearance plants at a local Lowe's so I'm gonna have a busy day planting them in my pots tomorrow afternoon before dinner.

    Kevin Harvick won his 2nd race this season this afternoon at Atlanta, this win moved him to #11 in the all time Wins List. Joe Gibbs racing had a good day finishing 2nd, 3rd and 5th though it looked like Erik Jones was gonna have a good day issues led to him finishing 28th keeping the team from having all 4 drivers in the top 10. Kevin Harvick had a rocket for the final stage opening a lead of 4 seconds over Martin Tried jr some laps. Kurt Busch who finished 6th also seemed to be quicker than several top 10 cars but had trouble navigating past lapped cars otherwise I think he could've finished in the top five if not 3. Next race is Wednesday night at 7pm on FS1 at Martinsville under the lights.

  17. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColeusColeus They can get surprisingly big in the right growing conditions, ones I had last year got 3 1/2 feet tall. The protest got rained out before they made it to the busy intersection. Bet that made all the rush hour travellers happy lol.
  18. Got some gardening done yesterday. Planted the 6 Coleus plants I bought at the farmers market, 2 in the garden and 4 in various pots. Still have a few pots that need plants so I'll be stopping by nearby greenhouses this weekend. Some dang varmint got into the corn at my dad's so now I'm down to 3, hope I can find a few corn plants at the greenhouses. Protestors will try to block traffic during rush hour in one of the busiest intersections in one of the suburbs tomorrow. That ought to be interesting to see on the news tomorrow night. I'll be surprised if that stays peaceful with all the traffic that flows through there. Then again mother nature might put the kibosh on the protest as there's a chance for t storms tomorrow afternoon.

  20. Make that 5 companies and they are not cheap. https://www.lifewire.com/dvd-recorder-vhs-vcr-combination-1846611
  21. I think I heard that recently, it might be in one of the season 4 episodes.
  22. You probably just got a few wires mixed up, it's real easy to o do when you have alot of things hooked up to the tv. Try chasing the wires from the dvd/vcr to the back of the tv and make sure they are all connected to the right section. Hopefully your DVD/vcr player didn't decide to breakdown. Think there's only one manufacturer that still makes dvd/vcr combo players.
  23. Right. It's unfortunate, but not surprising, the bad seeds are hiding in with the peaceful protestors so everybody gets lumped in with the troublemakers when they attack and loot. What I seen yesterday on the news is what more peaceful protestors should do, they were trying to stop some of the non-peaceful protestors and pointed them out to the officers. Like in Nascar Cautions breed Cautions, Violence will just be met with more Violence and so on. But as long as the protests are peaceful their message will be heard better as the news won't have any violence to cover.

  25. Glad he wasn't violent. Hope the cops nabbed him too. We have an addict around here that has stepped up his game since some of the police don't care to bother with him. He used to knock on doors and ask for money "for gas" but now just breaks into cars in the parking lot if he sees change in them. He used to just come around at night but now he's doing it during the day. Heard from one of the neighbors that he broke into someone's car and they caught him and tried to keep him here till the cops showed up but he escaped just a few minutes before the first officer got here. One thing I like about the ring doorbell security camera is it picks up movement from farther than I thought it would. It picks up movement in the parking lot even though it's not facing the parking lot.
