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 

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.

It's a great idea, but don't let me hold things up. I'm often in bed by 10pm, which is 5pm ET and therefore 2pm Pacific.

Would anyone be interested in having episode watch parties? I can't promise any sort of frequency, but I would love to re-watch the series again with you guys. If you're interested, comment with the days of the week and times that are best for you and I'll try to schedule something that works for the majority. I might be able to schedule a second viewing for folks across the pond. I would also like some volunteers to test things out with me on the website we'll be using.

Someone, who shall remain nameless unless they want to reveal themselves, has graciously paid for HazzardNet's hosting this month via the Ko-Fi widget in the right sidebar. I did, however, create a new badge that I will give out to everyone who contributes. So, if you want to go poking around, you'll probably find said individual. 🤭 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I won't go into details, but the last 6 months have probably been the roughest of my life and, though I have been a little absent from the forums (though I have been working on a few things in the background), I am so grateful for all of you. I know there's always a place here I can come to get away from all my troubles. Dukes fans are the best!

There's some discussion about the new road-going Charger and possible gas engines in a recent Doug DeMuro podcast. It's a good looking car with styling cues from the '60s Chargers. One of the publicity shots shows the new car in orange, but sadly it's the 4-door version. I'm sure it won't be long before someone slaps an 01 on the side of a 2-door.
 

Dodge is rumored to be returning to NASCAR. First in the truck series in 2026 with the Ram 1500 then the following year with the Charger coupe in Cup and Xfinity series. It is unknown if they will go with a V8 or make a race engine with the new i6 engine. 

My car passed its NCT (National Car Test) tonight. I realize that regular vehicle testing is not something that most of the US members have to worry about, but over here all vehicles are tested. For private cars, the first test comes at 4-years-old, then every other year until they're 10-years-old, and then every year after that. My car's getting on a bit now, so it was a relief that it got through.

The test covers: brakes; emissions; wheels and tires; lights; steering and suspension; chassis and underbody; electrical systems; glass and mirrors; transmission; interior (seat belts etc.); fuel system. If you don't have a valid test, you can get fined and points on your licence.

seems like they would make a custom built  Viper! That would probably be the fastest!

Spring
 
Gonna feel like early spring this week with temps in the 50's

Yeah that was crazy, that was such a once in a billion fluke how it got airborne. It's funny I read on the NASCAR subreddit someone commented every Daytona 500 they've been to a driver named Ryan had flipped, and they apologized to the 2 Ryan's in the race because he was were there lol. 

Yeah he was really motivated since he doesn't have a full time ride. Guess he's got another few starts this season and that's it. He should just go to truck series, he'd probably do better there. 

The flu has hit my work hard the past few weeks. Made it kind of interesting as the boss sent the one coworker home. Other coworkers told me boss has never done that, even during COVID  . We all think it's due to the one coworker recently finding out they have cancer and they're trying to work as much as they can before chemo treatments. 
Hope you feel better today Roger. 
Looking outside this morning I see we got more freezing rain and now it's snowing again. 

What a joke. I turned it off for now, got sick of all the pandering and *** kissing. Was supposed to start early but now they'll be lucky to even beat the incoming rain on the radar. 

Since the thread is titled The last 24 hours that's how long I've gone without eating...29 to be precise. I still can't even look at food without feeling nauseated. I either got food poisoning or the norovirus. Last night was absolutely brutal. Hopefully I will have an appetite for snacks for the big race tomorrow. 

Is it spring yet? Kind of had my fill of all these freezing rain snow freezing rain snow freezing rain snow storms. Took 20 minutes to break into one of the cars Thursday morning because they were both encased in an ice snow ice blob.

Hey, Hey!! Easy on Toyotas!! I'll have you know, I drive a 2006 Toyota Corolla S The " Sport" edition! It can go from 0-60 in 2.3 !!   *  
 
* minutes!    

Could be Kyle Busch's year, similar stats to Dale Earnhardt when he won his only Daytona 500. Winless season last year, 20th Daytona 500, RCR team.
I'll be happy as long as it isn't a Toyota though lol.
