My parents were married 67 years, just a few months shy of 68 years when dad passed. They got married at 19 (mom) and 21 (dad). I've been married almost 23 years. My oldest sister celebrates anniversary #32 this year and my other sister will celebrate #26 later this year. So, my advice would be to find someone who's been married a long time and get advice from them! Because whatever my mom and dad were doing right, it seemed to rub off on us kids.
My mom always told me that the key to a long marriage was.... 2 tv sets.  And for the record, all of us kids have more than 1 tv set.

Rose of Sharon is always a beautiful plant.
Been doing a lot of spring cleaning in the past 24 hours, you’d be amazed the stuff you can haul out of storage, that you probably forgot you had! LOL..

I'm beat. A friend and I dug up the plants and split them today. Happy we were able to save so many plants. Rose of Sharons unfortunately no one wanted. 

Pimp coat.... Raccoon coats had a nick name of being a pimp coat in the 1920's

Sorry to be difficult but if One Armed Bandits beat the Ghost of GL in the semi finals and Days of Shine and Roses beat Carnival of Thrills in the semi finals, shouldn't they be in the Finals?

I'm suspecting a mistake was made. It seems like it should be One Armed Bandits vs Days of Shine and Roses. 

It's rigged I tell ya. 

The Days of Shine and Roses beat the Carnival of Thrills. Shouldn't it be in the Finals? Also, One Armed Bandits beat the Ghost of GL. 

If everybody was Dukes of Hazzard fans the world would be a lot better off. 

Y'all be safe tonight with the storms blowing in. 

It will soon be powered by the Hemi V8 again. Stellantis will be making the 5.7, 6.4 and hellcat V8s in Ann arbor Michigan. Sales of the electric Charger have been abysmal and it seems the guys in charge of Dodge don't think the hurricane 6 engine won't do much better for Charger sales so they're working on getting the V8 back under the hood. 
I seen a video the other day on YouTube where the Charger was raced against the Mustang dark horse. Next to the mustang the charger looked huge. It didn't do all that well either. Between the 2 guys one definitely has raced cars before and knew how to drive as he won the race in both cars. 1st race he was in the Charger and didn't really blow the mustang away as you'd expect from an electric car. 2nd race he was in the Mustang, while off the line the charger was ahead he eventually caught up and passed the Charger. 
In other news Camaro could be coming back. GM reps confirmed Chevy will be the car for V8 Supercars and NASCAR and they confirmed it wouldn't be a Corvette.

Josh Berry gave the Wood Brothers their 101st win at Las Vegas today, they are also celebrating their 75th anniversary in NASCAR racing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have a splash of Irish from my mom's side. I am always wearing green because I have green eyes (my overwhelmingly Scottish heritage).

For me it finally went away around 6pm Saturday. Wife's finally went away Sunday morning. 
Tomorrow and Wednesday will be very spring like with temps in the upper 60's then Thursday a dusting of snow has been forecasted for the 1st day of spring 
Only thing that wasn't green on me today were my jeans and shoes 

Due to the big drop in barometric pressure my wife and I got headaches yesterday and pretty much stayed inside and were couch potatoes. Winds got up to 55-60mph.

I hope everyone in the US is safe and well.

In Ireland, March 17 can only mean St Patrick's Day. This year I had to help out a bit with the organizing, but still got to see the parade and other attractions. Despite not being Irish, I still dressed head to foot in green!

Roger, you'd probably have enjoyed seeing the Museum of the Moon, an art installation which features a 7m diameter, 1:500,000 model of the moon.

A temporary Ferris wheel gave us great views despite cloudy conditions.

Finally, we got some great live Irish music from Kíla. The uilleann pipes and bodhrán mixed with flutes, drums, guitar and bass were played with such energy - it was amazing.
 

I hope you get to feeling better bud!

Last year on the social media channels, I ran HazzardNet Hysteria (the Dukes version of March Madness). It didn't even occur to me to post about it on the forums.  I will be posting polls here for y'all to vote too. Last year it was characters and Uncle Jesse won. This year, it's Battle of the Episodes.
 
And since y'all are the most avid supporters of HazzardNet, you get first crack at the polls! I'll post them here first.

Fellow Hazzard-ites if you live around the Great Lakes batten down the hatches as there are 50+mph winds coming with the storm front this weekend. Barometric pressure will take big swings too so you might get a headache. 

Was a beautiful morning with the snow we got late yesterday and a clear sky this morning so we went to the park and took a bunch of pics. 

Cadillac has had its bid to join F1 in 2026 formally approved. Read more here.
