There seems to be a trend here to post stuff that is a little bit edgy. That's no surprise since the world seems to have gone crazy. Since I have been part of the problem I really am not worthy of acting like Uncle Jesse and getting everybody back it line with a gruff authoritarian voice so I won't...... but I will say this: While I may be tempted in the future to post stuff that displays my anger about insane current events I will not anymore. This website is one of my favorite things in the world and I don't want to ruin it by being part of the problem. From this point forward I pledge to return to the fun that the HazzardNet is intended to be. After all, HazzardNet might be the only sane place left in cyberspace. Where would the internet be if it gets tainted and turns crazy too? I hope others join me in my pledge. 

Thanks Hobie. I am a very politically active person. I've had several quotes on CNN (the old Jack Cafferty show) and CNBC, several letters in USA Today, a thousand letters in local newspapers the past 40 years and have also been active politically on other forums but there is a time and place for all that and it's not here....even though I'll agree that those fights need to be fought. As important as politics can be it can also be corrosive in certain settings and I have so much love for Hazzard County, the HazzardNet and the HN Family I would do anything to keep our family together. 

It's been done before? In NASCAR? 
Found this article this morning.  I love how the drivers and teams support one another in times like this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-23/nascar-champions-stand-with-bubba-wallace/12383798

I saw that. I also just read an article that Bubba Wallace,  NASCAR only African American,  found a noose in his garage area. It just breaks my heart to see things turn to this. I can't even imagine how he must feel.  Things like this is why people assume the flag stands for hate. I really hope they find whoever is responsible for this...

I hope they find out who did that noose hanging in the #43 stall and give them a permanent ban from every race track in America if they can't legally charge the scumbag with anything.

Yeah iirc it was after that race they made the restrictor plate smaller because the car went into the fence. The next Daytona race it was a single file race as nobody could get a run. We'll have to see what the new changes they made will do for the superspeedway racing probably tomorrow as it looks like more rain is moving into Talladega, at least Antennatv channel is running a Coach marathon today .

I wouldn't hold out much hope for that Hoss. Amazon is pulling DoH from it's streaming service. WB will probably be throwing it in the vault never to see the light of day again like they have with the "offensive" Looney Tunes cartoons as it would be too much trouble to got thru all the video and digitally erase the flag and name off the car.

And 9 times out of ten the good new shows end up getting cancelled while the fake reality crap gets renewed.

Hopefully it's more racy than the follow the leader till the end of the stages Xfinity race was yesterday. 
Better enjoy the races while it lasts...https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/06/19/nascar-covid-19-stewart-haas-racing-team-penske/ I doubt we'll get a full season. From what I heard on the news it looks like college football will be cancelled this year as well after several players have tested positive for covid19 during training.

The Legacy.....season 3
After rescuing a lady in a red convertible who's brakes went out coming down a mountain, the 3 Duke men find out that it is Uncle Jesse's first girlfriend, Lucinda Meadows. He had been in competition with Boss over her but she ended up marrying Cyrus Meadows instead. In the next scene Boss made Cletus temporary Sheriff and Wilbur Fudge temporary Deputy since Rosco and Flash were at obedience training, to which Cletus responded to Boss "But Rosco doesn't need obedience training. He comes whenever you call". Lucinda shows Boss an IOU from June 4, 1940 that proves Boss owes Cyrus ( and her) 5000 dollars but of course he says he's not giving it to her. When Lucinda and the Dukes figure out that Cyrus hid 9 barrels of moonshine In the Rainbow Mine under their property they figure out it's worthless because Cyrus was a bad moonshiner. Lucinda then takes a sample of Jesse's shine to Boss and offers to sell him 9 barrels of it. Thinking she really did have that much good shine Boss made a deal with Mean Joe Hatcher. Cletus put a tracking device in Jesse's truck so they caught the Duke boys right after they loaded the 9 barrels but Hatcher stole it. The evidence got destroyed when Hatcher and his partner dumped it to keep from getting caught.....which didn't work since they got caught. 
-- I wish we would have seen Lucinda in a future episode. I loved it when she was sitting with Jesse on the front porch under a full moon. 
-- This was the second episode in a row where Luke pushed Boss over to save his life. This time Hatcher was going to run him over. 
--Jesse mentions his wife Martha...also known as Lavinia in another episode. Maybe one was a middle name or nickname. 
--classic scene where a patrol car gets sawed down the middle in the sawmill. Wilbur "did you hear a funny noise?"
-- When Cletus asked for a sip of shine to toast the old days Boss said "Cletus, you weren't around in the old days and I ain't too pleased to have you around in the new days neither"
--My favorite line in the whole series is by Lucinda "Well, I put myself in the hands of the Lord and He put me in the hands of the Dukes and I guess maybe you couldn't get a better combination than that"
--One of my favorite episodes!

I didn't see anything I havent seen before. I'm going through something called the Messier list, named after a 1700s French comet hunter. It is a list of the best 110 objects in the sky that are outside of the solar system. I've completed the list twice before but decided to do it again just for fun. I've observed 87 of the 110 since Jan 1. The toughest ones to get are the galaxies in the Virgo Cluster but I've already got those. They built a prison 4 miles from me probably 25 years ago so sometimes in that direction I get the same effect you do with the reflection but for me it's only in part of the sky. It really doesn't hurt my astronomy though since I'm not observing when there are clouds. 

I guess it'll be ok as long as they don't make the numbers as small as they are in IMSA. Car owners have been lobbying for this change for years to make more room for more sponsors. I find it funny how Dale jr flip flopped on this issue. I remember in one of his podcasts last year he was adamant that the numbers not be moved from the doors but then tweets the other day "I can get behind this as long as the number size isn’t any smaller than what you see here."

It looks weird but at least it isn't on the rear quarter panel like they were thinking of doing.

See anything interesting? 
Too much light pollution here at night. Not far away we have this area where a bunch of dealerships are located, almost all the makes are sold except for the ultra luxury and fast exotics. The lights there could make Nascar tracks with lights look dark. Sometimes when the clouds are real low it reflects the light and makes it look almost daylight out in the middle of the night. I've tried taking pics of full moons with my camera but never get a decent shot here.

I'm allergic to cats so according to politically correct rules that makes you an intolerant hateful person. Your insensitive shirt also doesn't consider the feelings of dog owners so I'm proposing that it be banned. Anybody who doesn't agree with me is evil. Anybody who think that I'm wrong for labeling those people as evil is evil. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr leads the HoF class of 2021 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/06/16/dale-earnhardt-jr-mike-stefanik-red-farmer-named-to-nascar-hall-of-fame-class-of-2021/ also being inducted is modified racer Michael Stefanik and Red Farmer.
Nascar All-star Race has been moved to Bristol  https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/06/15/nascar-all-star-race-moves-to-bristol-motor-speedway-for-2020/

I think people of the world have gone insane. Now sword/sabre handles are offensive . Bad enough it's getting to the point where you can't wear a shirt with any logo on it as it might offend someone as one college coach recently found out. I'll be wearing my Garfield shirt today so hopefully nobody gets offended by that lazy cat .

My wife

Wife and I went for a walk in one of our favorite local parks yesterday. Being a wet prairie It's mosquito haven when the temps are in the 70's like it was yesterday but we had a new secret weapon. Found this product called Buggy Beds Mosquito Repellent Pouch for $4 each at the store. They passed the first test, not a single mosquito landed on us though it was breezy yesterday so there were less than normal amount of mosquito's out but the ones that were out didn't want to land on us. So far I can recommend them, will have to see how they do in future outings as it says they last up to a month if you keep them in the resealable bag they come in. It was nice not having to take another shower to wash off insect repellent when we got home. The only downside is it appears they repell butterflies too.
The kitten my in laws found will be in a pet foster home this week  at least it will have a better chance at life than its mother who was hit and killed in front of their place.

The daylight scheduled Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead turned into a night race after several weather delays. Denny Hamlin dominated the race winning both stages and of course the race. Tyler Reddick though is the one that stole the show in my opinion. He fought for the lead several times once he made his way from 24th and ended up finishing 4th. Chase Elliot finished 2nd, Ryan Blaney 3rd and Aric Almirola rounded out the top 5. Tyler's RCR teammate Austin Dillon finished 7th. Jimmie Johnson did not have a good race, started 9th and quickly dropped to the 20's and ended up finishing 16th.
Dale Earnhardt jr in what may be his final race finished 5th in Saturday's Xfinity race. He would have finished 2nd behind his teammate but a late caution and lousy restart killed his team's luck.
Forgot to mention Nascar gave 1000 tickets to military for the Homestead race and will have 5000 fans in attendance at Talladega next weekend.

We've mentioned a couple of historically famous non-NASCAR drivers recently, so I thought I'd share a quote from another that I heard last night. Juan Manuel Fangio dominated the early years of F1, winning the World Drivers' Championship five times in the first decade. Here's his quote:

"Driving fast on the track does not scare me. What scares me is when I drive on the highway I get passed by some idiot who thinks he is Fangio."
