Skipper Duke

I commented on the misidentification of the 00 as Cooter's Mustang in the Dukes of Hazzard Diecast Models thread. I also mentioned the additional erroneous hood scoop on the newer models and the failure of the manufacturers to make it more screen-correct. My 2001 model just says "1968 Mustang GT" on the box. If you read further down the diecast thread, you'll also see where they could've made Cooter's Camaro (yes, this one was Cooter's from 'Luke's Love Story') closer to the one on the show, and put the right wheels on Daisy's Roadrunner.

Owl:"Who? Who?" Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane:"Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane that's who! You dumb bird! Ijit!"

This is all great news! Just like a Hazzard episode...it ended well for everybody!  

I wish I could think of the name of that old country song where the woman turned it around on the guy....."Now let's see what I give you". I think it started out with the singer saying something to the girl like "You look like a possible 8. You and me can make 18 if your head's on straight" 

I'm outta reactions so here's yer haha

Out of reactions. So here's the haha.

Cousin Roger Duke... I am Braves fan too!

10-4 breaker, you got Jesse Duke here. My 10-20 is out in the corn field gittin' ready fer the spring plowing. It's a little too wet today. Old Maudeen would likely get stuck. 

I'm not sure where the Duke boys are but when they hear about this they will likely make a quick return....unless Jesse calls them on the CB and says he's doing fine without them. 

When our last president restricted travel he was called a racict and xenophobe by the media. Now that our new president is restricting travel he is called a hero by the media. 

My wife just found out that the hospital where she works is going to quickly convert their intensive care unit to an all covid unit because they just can't handle all the cases anymore where they currently are. This means she is going to have to wear one of those space suits all day and most of her work days are 12 hour shifts. I keep encouraging her to check into retirement. She has 41 years there. She likes her job though.....but not lately as much as before covid. 

The pandemic has done a number on this historic small town we love to visit several times a year. We stopped there yesterday for the first time since last December. 5 businesses are either closed or will be going out of business. Only the new bar was open for inside dining, the rest of the town's restaurants were takeout only. The town has added a few new picnic tables to help but it's going to be a rough winter for the restaurants there. The town's annual Applebutter festival which is a major influx of cash for the businesses has been cancelled. I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised if next year that town becomes a ghost town.

I think another shutdown in Ohio is inevitable now. In the last 4 days the county has had almost a thousand new confirmed covid cases, which is a huge spike compared to the past few weeks even. Local library's have closed to the public again, only doing non contact dropoffs and drive thru pick ups if the library has a drive thru. Most of the local schools went back to online classes. People aren't social distancing as much as they were either, seen a few times of grocery store workers reminding people at the cash registers. Stay safe and healthy y'all.

Which is good because if Deputy Hoss wasn't on the job Hobie would build a still around here and probably get us all in trouble with the revenuers.

Just heard Joe Diffie, country singer, has passed from COVID-19.
 

William Byron bookended Martinsville winning both the trucks race Thursday night and the cup race last night so he got two clocks this weekend. It looked like Chase Elliott was going to dominate as he led from the 1st lap till the end of stage 2 winning both stages. William Byron's pit crew got him out ahead of Chase after the stage 2 end pit stop and he led till the end of the race.

The Xfinity race was the most exciting of the weekend ending with a fist fight in pit lane. Joe Gibbs grandson Ty was driving like a jack*** the whole race and at the end was moved to the outside by his teammate Brandon Jones, who went on to win the race, and Landon Cassil went to the inside of Sam Mayer in turn 3 and pushed him into Ty. Ty didn't realize it and decided to take his tantrum out on Sam Mayer. Ty hit him on the track after the race and followed him into the pits and confronted him with his helmet on threw punches after Sam took his helmet off. Both had a long talking too in the Nascar trailer. 

Thanks for posting this Skipper. These folks are all like family and whenever we lose one it hurts a lot.....especially if you are personal friends with him like Meadowmfn was. I miss him. 

Seven years ago today we lost our beloved James Best.  Be sure and watch something with Jimmie in it today and do what he would want you to do - laugh!   He was the Greatest and will be remembered forever!

I bet it was a heart attack. They said he was found with his hand clenched on his chest. He did a two hour stand up routine that night and many witnesses said that he didn't drink much water out of the bottle on stage for him.
It's interesting his comedy was so raunchy considering he played such a vanilla character on Full House. Though you could see his dirty mind come out a little bit as host on America's Funniest Home Videos. 

We got rain here . Some weird weather we're having here lately, one day in the upper 40's next day 20 with wind chills in the single digits or -0's. 
My brother in law bought a snow blower attachment for his lawn mower only to find out it wouldn't fit so he went out and bought a new mower which got delivered a few days ago so yesterday I helped him hook the blower up. We almost got it all hooked up but the last belt refused to go around a pulley. So we detached the one thing to move it up to get the belt around the pulley which worked but then we couldn't get the dang thing hooked back up to the bottom of the mower lol. He called the place he bought the new mower from and they're coming out to finish it some time this week.
