On March 17, 2026 I scored Clive Cussler's Raise the Titanic! at my local B&N (Barnes & Noble) for $10.99 + tax. Wasn't expecting to find it on the shelf, and got a surprise - it's in Mystery Thrillers, not Fiction! 😄 Guess it's a win-win! #RaiseTheTitanic #CliveCussler

I have finished reading it now for the first time. Anyone else ever read it?

Good to hear you have a new phone. I use a really old tablet for HN.

Blew up from a swollen battery? Cause any other damage? Were you in the outhouse at the time? I hope you don't need a new outhouse now.

I'm outta reactions. So 😂 for the second part.

Did you hear the morbid Titanic joke? What do you get when you cross the Atlantic on the Titanic? Half way. 😂

A friend's post.

Boss said if I give out 100 parking tickets today... I can drive the bigger sheriff car tomorrow.

(Picture of Rosco writing tickets and his vehicle is a 2000s Dodge Charger.)

My comment that I wrote. Sounds like something James Best would say. 😂

Boss, how am I supposed to catch those Duke Boys in this dang Tuna can? 😂

I'm back with my new phone everybody. Old phone swelled/bloated/battery blew up.

This is easy for me to remember because my Dad was born on April 14 and I was born on April 15. Also, Abraham Lincoln was shot on April 14 and died after midnight on April 15.

My love and condolences to you and your family Skipper.

Thanks Roger. 🤗

Prayers needed for my family again. This time, my dad's sister, my Aunt Alice died on February 6, 2026.

I noticed Vance has some bandages on his left hand pinky finger in the scene after rescuing Boss. When he says "Cooter. Boss just a problem with his brakes. He seems to be pointin' the finger at you about it. I'd like to get you out here." Does anyone know why his finger was bandaged up?

April 15

Tonight is the 114th anniversary of the sinking. The anniversary of spotting and striking the iceberg and launching lifeboats has passed. In 10 minutes at 2:20 AM the stern sinks beneath the waves. 10 minutes after that, the bow reaches the ocean floor. 😢 Total sinking time 11:40 PM April 14, 1912- 2:30 AM April 15, 1912. Most pets drowned. 😢 Crew freed them from their kennels and the pets were left to fend for themselves.

I hope you aren't gone too long cousin. Keep us updated.

Yep Roger... "The Skipper too" might be out of commission for a little while. 😂 Hopefully not too long.

RogerDuke · April 14

I might be gone for a bit pretty soon before too much longer. It's been accidentally dropped a few times and the plastic case is busted up and won't sit flush anymore and the screen is now coming off too. All along the right side and across the bottom. I may be temporarily out of commission pretty soon. Probably cheaper to just get a new device than trying to repair this one? It's time for a new one anyway. I have storage issues and functions are not working properly. It takes I swear like 50 million times to delete or archive chats before it'll do it now. Is it true? Am I supposed to upgrade after 3 years? Judging by the way this one is acting now, and the impacts it has absorbed, it is definitely toast?

The Eyes of the Ranger Lyrics

In the eyes of a ranger

The unsuspecting stranger

Had better know the truth of wrong from right

'Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you

Any wrong you do, he's gonna see

When you're in Texas, look behind you

'Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be

March 29

Any fans here? I bring you sad news. Chuck Norris (Ranger Cordell Walker) passed away on March 19, 2026. 😢

Hey, I just thought of something! It's not important but I think it would be interesting.....

WHAT ARE YOUR DAILY/WEEKLY DOH WATCHING HABITS?

I watch TDOH every night when I go to bed until I fall asleep. Sometimes I'll watch it at other times during the night but 99% of the time, it's at night before I go to bed. It calms me and makes me feel good and it's easy to sleep like that. I might watch some a little earlier tonight! So....what are your watching habits?

Hobie... So when you go to bed, The Dukes watch you? 😂

That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little.

I was just thinking.....was Repo men the first episode? I thought it was " One Armed Bandits"....????......just asking....

It was One Armed Bandits. Repo Men was 3rd and Mary Kaye's Baby 4th. But they aired Repo 4th and Mary Kaye's Baby 3rd. Swamp Molly is actually the 2nd CA filmed episode. Luke's Love Story is the first CA episode. But they aired Swamp Molly first.

Season 4 Up In Barney's Room.

Miss Mendelbright:"Chili and Crackers where are they?" 😂

Season 1 Gilligan Meets Jungle Boy.

Skipper (Frustrated over pedaling the bicycle washing machine.)"Sometimes I think the Professor invents too many things!" 😂

Also very funny same episode same scene.

Mr. Howell (Showing up spotting Skipper riding the bicycle washing machine and launches into song.):"Ha ho! Ha ho! Ha ho! This is the way we wash our clothes, wash our clothes, wash our clothes, this is the way we wash our clothes so early in the morning!" 😂

Skipper:"Mr. Howell, how would you like it if I put you in the driver's seat?" 😂

Mr. Howell:"Sir, are you suggesting that I stoop to manual labor?" 😂

Skipper:"Congratulations, you got it right the first time!" 😂

Mr. Howell:"Would you ask a man with a strangulated disc and a chronic sacarilliac to do a thing like that?" 😂

Skipper:"You got all those things?" 😂

Mr. Howell:"Don't evade the issue." 😂
