Skipper Duke

That says a mouthful right there!  You NEVER know.......

Watching the vehicles behind begin to edge and fight one another, Garrett eyes the open road ahead of him. Though knows anything can happen at any time...

I missed that, but that is chilling.  Probably something everyone should consider about life. 

Definitely a shocker. So sad to hear that his wife, kids and family have lost him and that millions of his fans will never see him race again. 
ABC News showed a snippet of his interview after his last race where he said each win was special because you never know when it will be your last. Chilling. 

Kyle Busch, two time Cup champ, dies at age 41 | NASCAR
OK y'all...I'll be real honest here, but I have never been a Kyle Busch fan. But this really stinks and hurts. So hard to believe that he's gone.  I've been in disbelief since I heard about his passing. Despite how I or anyone felt about him, he did have a personality that seemed like he'd be here forever. I know I saw a couple of weeks ago that he had called for medical assistance after the May 10th race. I read last night it was for sinus problems. Didn't think much of it until I saw of his passing yesterday.
I really don't know what to say about all of this. Just that it's hard to believe and to accept. So sad for his family, fans, NASCAR...

hazzard county is wilder than any ZOO i've ever seen

Jesse starts to gain ground on the pack and gets close enough to see Meadowmufn and Hoss ahead of him. He gets excited that he might not finish last after all. 
But this is the Mooonshine 400. It's not like any other race in the world. Here it is possible to be an old man riding an old lady's Yamaha dirt bike that is normally used to deliver mail and win after a disastrous start. Jesse knew that and his confidence started growing. If a guy pulling a yacht could do this well, so could he. 
"Only in Hazzard!" he laughed to himself and twisted the throttle as far as it would go. 

Keeping his attention on the race, Garrett refuses to fall into everyone's competitive talk and pushes the pedal down farther and a hint of a smile crosses his face at feeling the great power of the engine. Passing Jesse, he gives him a slight respectful nod, before speeding up front.
 
(Sorry y'all I've been away from my computer a bit.) 

I get e-mails from Cooter's and got a notice today that Pigeon Forge is closing. 
Nashville and Luray will remain open. 
Maybe Hoss can post a link. 

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.

WELCOME WAYLON jennings 

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!

"10-4 Thanks Skipper but the only tour I'm interested is the tour of the winner's circle with Emma planting a kiss on my cheek. But I don't really have much chance of winning now. I was stupid and trusted that tech junk when I should have known better. Maybe she will give me a sympathy kiss." 
In the meantime, Emma had given up on tech too after her computer blew up along with the one hooked to Jesse's dirt bike. Since there was no way she could use her remote control back up, she hopped on her other dirt bike and started down Iron Mountain, hoping to make it to the finish line before the race ended. She knew Jesse would need consoling after what he had been through. 

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.

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. 

Hobie looked back at the commotion caused by Jesse and his buddy Elon and decided to be a good sport,  so he just smiled and  waved at them while he slowed up to wait for them!

Jesse had been looking forward to this for weeks, a chance to impress Emma and show her he can embrace technology. 
At first he had been pretty skeptical of all the tech on the Muskcycle but Elon and Emma had shown him the light....andd just before the starting gun he was more convinced than ever that the tech will come through and he would win easily and get that kiss. 
BANG the starting gun went off. 
Jesse twisted the throttle and let the clutch out, anticipating riding a wheelie the first 300 feet while running through the first 3 or 4 gears. 
The next thing you know there was a second loud bang. But it wasn't the starting gun going off again. It was Elon's computer that was hooked up to the engine of the dirt bike blowing up. Thankfully Jesse wasn't hurt but the dirt bike stalled out and never even crossed the start line. 
"Ding Dang! I should have know better that to trust this contraption!" 

OK folks......the racers are starting their engines and the crowd is going wild......maybe from  Jesse's Shine....??  ....anyway....Hobie is at the starting line with The Moonshine Mauler and he has a tankful AND a snoot full!! There no way cousin Roger, Hoss or anybody else is going to beat him! ....
AND THEY"RE OFF!!! Hobie is throwing up mud and chunks of dirty with his knobby tires and is flying down  the straightway of the starting line! 
I don't see anybody even CLOSE to me and I'm making good time, wth my Mauler !! This might be an easy win! I'm about to open my 3rd beer in a min. and crank up some Marshall Tucker on my stereo!
