    Before you know it Jesse had caught up with the pack and was in the thick of everything. Being on a dirt bike certainly had its advantages because he was able to use the bike's maneuverability and his skill to weave between everybody and take advantage of all the chaos. And chaos it was indeed. The lead changes continued on a regular basis but the best place Jesse had been in was third. 

    But then he accidently hit neutral when shifting from 5th to 6th after rounding a curve and that put him back to 5th in this tight race. Still, at this point it seemed like just about anybody had a chance to win. He was just happy to be in the thick of things. But he wasn't here to finish in anything but first. 

    A new determination overtook him and he let out a rebel yell and turned the throttle as far as it would go again. The front wheel went off the ground again. He felt like a young man racing a half century ago. He felt like nothing could stop him now as he approached Skipper and prepared to pass on his starboard side.

    Skipper sees Uncle Jesse coming. "Hi Jesse!" (Waves at him.) "Good race ain't it?"

    Skipper is coming up on everyone fast. He's determined to win this thing. If he wins, the prize money will help him buy his new boat MINNOW II. He holds his 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 steady as he gains ground on everyone else. "Hello Garrett, Jesse, Hobie" he yells as he passes them up.

    What are you listening to???

    A few modern country songs are creeping onto the playlist of the mainly pop/rock radio station I listen to here in Ireland. Maybe Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" album got people looking for more traditional country artists. Morgan Wallen's "I'm the Problem" has been popular, and I see he's also got a duet with the artist below.

    The Smoky Mountains of Tennessee are mentioned in this song. Maybe if Ella had introduced her boyfriend to Cooter's Place in Pigeon Forge, he might've stayed! :)

    There's also a longer version here.

    I'm outta reactions. ❤️

    From cootersplace.com:

    Our Smoky Mountain journey began in Gatlinburg back in 2002, where so many wonderful memories were made through the years. Later, we brought Cooter’s to nearby Pigeon Forge and continued building something very special with all of you. Now, after nearly a quarter century in the Smokies, we are preparing for our final season there.

    For the rest of this season, we’re planning a wonderful lineup of events, celebrations, reunions, stories, music, laughter, and memories with the people who helped make The Dukes of Hazzard such a lasting part of American pop culture.

    We are especially excited to welcome Catherine Bach, Tom Wopat, Byron Cherry, and Jeff Altman during this closing season, along with the wonderful staff here at Cooter’s who have loved and cared for our visitors through the years like family.

    The XXX on the Moonshine jug, was the number of times the shine had been run through the still to purify it, so it wouldn't be dangerous to drink.  So.....3X.....XXX= three runs through the still! made it safe and it wouldn't blind you.

    Thanks Hoss! This inspired me to pull out my copy! So tomorrow, I'll go by Walmart, get myself some Hootch and then head to the bank and get money to run on until next week. Then later on, after all is said/done, I'll have a GREAT DOHD,  watching  Moon Runners  and indulging,  PLUS the wife doesn't have to be at work Sat. so I can sleep in! :) 

    * They ain't like puppies Bobby Lee , they don't just follow you home!   LOL!  ....you guys remember?

    Hobie yep. Uncle Jesse's eyes widen when Bobby Lee said about Beth "Jesse, she's in trouble." 😂

    I misread Roger's post and I accidentally jumped to P instead of an O word.

    Jesse got up to speed on the dirt bike but was way behind everybody. All he could see was a cloud of dust. He knew Hobie was somewhere up there, along with Skipper, Garrett, Hoss, Meadowmufn and everybody else but had he no idea who was in what place. 

    All he knew was how embarrassed he was that he trusted technology. He had always taught the kids that simplicity is always the best policy and here he was, a full grown man who got taken in by the shiney new toy of technology. Now was his chance to prove to himself, Emma and the rest of Hazzard that races can be won on nothing but skill. And in his day, Jesse was the fastest motorcycle racer in North Georgia. 

    Skipper checks his mirror. Spots Uncle Jesse back there coming up fast. He calls him on the CB. "Hey Uncle Jesse, if you win, I'll take you on a 3 hour tour to my island to see Gilligan and the rest of the gang.
