As a latecomer to this site I just want to say Thank You for starting it and keeping it going. I've been a huge DoH fan my whole life and besides the dvd's, this site has taken me back to some good memories watching the Dukes with my dad and Grandpa when they originally aired on Friday nights and Saturday mornings on the local cbs station.

Hey Roger did you have any water rescue's on your side of Lake Erie from not to smart people venturing out on the ice? Had quite a few here last weekend even though the temps haven't been cold enough to make deep enough ice to venture out on. You'd think people would be smarter and have some common sense. Looks like we'll be hit again Monday though the local weather casters are being hush hush on how many inches at the moment but saying we could get as much as we did Saturday.

Got 8.5 inches total snow all day Saturday, thankfully it was the light fluffy kind so it made it somewhat easier to shovel though my muscles still ache from shoveling 2 driveways. Glad the frigid cold didn't do anything to the wife's car, thought the battery might not make it but it started right up. My car is still in the shop waiting for parts and when all is fixed the bill will be around $500.

Liftoff thanks hoss now I got that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day

Mother Nature can sure get artsy sometimes. I hated scraping the windows a couple weeks ago due to overnight fog/frost that left an interesting spiderweb pattern on the windows of the car. Well RogerDuke on the western side of Lake Erie it now looks like we will be missed by the worst of the storm. Forecasters were all gloom and doom Monday and Tuesday now predicting we will get 2-4 inches, 6 inches at most, though it looks like my in-law's will get about 8 inches. Wife stopped at the store last night to pick something up for dinner and was shocked at how busy it was. She said every checkout lane was at least 6 people deep and everybody had full carts of food and water. Local weather forecasters should really be ashamed of themselves working people up into such a frenzy so early on before a storm. One even said this could be the worst snow storm we've ever seen which obviously now it won't even be anywhere close. Hope you get that furnace fixed before the storm as the frigid temps behind it will be cold, Monday here will be in the single digits for a high with windchills 20-30 below 0.

I might have wished a little too hard for snow... Heard on the local morning news on top of the 3 inches we're expecting Thursday night into Friday morning we might get up to 12 inches of snow Saturday. Over the weekend scored some nice deals at the local Meijer, basically like a Walmart in the Michigan-Ohio-Indiana area, since they are going to remodel the store and need space to move the grocery section too they put half the clothing and shoe section on clearance and an additional 40% off the clearance prices. got a new pair of shoes for $18 orig. price was $60, new winter gloves for $5 and a plaid jacket with sherpa lining for $11. I hope they put the tool section on clearance next .

Beats me. Ran fine going to the Store, ran like crap when I started it to head back home was idling below 500 and almost stalling at red lights. Sunday took it out again to see if it was doing the same thing and it ended up stalling out in the middle of the road, got it restarted and safely ran a red light to get it back home. It's in line at the mechanic waiting to be checked out at the moment. He thinks it might be the fuel pump because what I described is what my dad's previous car did a few years ago, though my dad's old car was 3 yrs older than mine but basically same make and model. Briefly got out the spring jacket yesterday and enjoyed the mid 50's degree temps but winter came back with a fury today with just a high of 30 and windchills around 20 brrrr and Saturday is forecasted to have 2-4+ inches of snow, will be the area's first measurable snow since last April.

I hope so. Friday was a lousy day, car broke down, hope it won't cost a small fortune to get fixed.

Lord I hope the 1st week of 2019 isn't an omen to how the rest of the year is going to go, if it is I'm going to take a long nap and set the alarm for Dec. 31st 11:59pm lol.

I had plans to make some pull out shelves for the entertainment center to store our tv series dvd sets today since it was going to be 50 degrees but I felt the onset of a cold/flu so took some cold/flu medicine last night that knocked me out till 8am and even then I couldn't walk straight . Hope it's a short cold/flu.

His divorce probably has taken a big chunk of his savings from his hollywood career. I wish him well for the New year though.

Good Riddance to 2018 Here's to a happy 2019 If anybody enjoys Monopoly I recommend Monopoly Plus video game available on the Playstation store possibly XBox too. Wife and I played that a lot while she was on vacation and we had a blast.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas y'all
