Where is Hobie?

[RogerDuke]

Breaker breaker, how 'bout ya Hobie, ya got yer ears on good buddy? Startin' to worry a little bit here. 

[HossC]

I've just checked - he hasn't logged in since September 7. I hadn't realized it had been that long.

[Garrett Duke]

Oh  no! Hobie where are you? I hope you are OK and out having fun.

[RogerDuke]

Probably just busy mixing up a few batches of his Finest. Fall is a busy season for him. Folks need his XXX to keep warm in the winter so demand for it is high this time of year. 

[RogerDuke]

Approaching 2 weeks without him. That's the problem with forums. You just never know if someone needs a break from life or if there is a bigger issue. I had his phone number but can't find it. Maybe it will pop up. I'm usually pretty organized so I'm surprised I can't find it. 

[RogerDuke]

It's official. I'm worried about Hobie. Let's hope we hear from him. The sooner the better. 

[RogerDuke]

Good grief. It's bad enough we were worried about Hobie before the hurricane. There are 130 dead and hundreds still missing. I will feel so much better when he logs in again. 

[Garrett Duke]

It is a worry. Hopefully he is OK and just needed a little break from being online.

[Boss JD Hogg]

I just checked and it says Hobie last visited here on September 25th.  I hope he's OK.

[RogerDuke]

That's the trouble with forums. If nobody can contact him we may never know. I'm kicking myself that I can't find his phone number. He hasn't called me lately. We only talked once or twice a year. Every day I keep hoping I log in and see he's back. Now that Garrett is making the moonshine it just doesn't taste quite the same.

I'm back....for now....I'm enjoying some adult beverages right now at this moment!  I've got one Heineken I'm finishing off, ( Drink Heineken, you'll feel fine again) and I have an unopened 12  ( 15pk....3 bonus cans) pack of Milwaukee's Best Ice. It's the poor man's brew....for the weekend!   🍺🍺🍺 

[RogerDuke]

Good to hear from you. Much flooding around your place? I hope none of your still sites got washed away. We're all getting a little tired of Garrett's moonshine.

Of course it's not the same...it's way better! No one will ever match my finest moonshine! I make it better than ol' Jesse himself!

Welcome back, friend. I hope all is well and that you are enjoying your drinks in moderation. Um...for now? Please don't go.

Wait a minute...you getting tired of the best moonshine of the south? Something is wrong with your taste buds . . . see if I share my finest with you any more.  

[Hobie Hartkins]

The floods only got on the far eastern sides of Tn.  I live in middle Tn.

[Boss JD Hogg]

It's great hearing from you Hobie!  I'm glad your moonshine didn't get washed away.  Bring some on over to the Boars Nest.

[Boss JD Hogg]

We should all do a video chat.  I've done them and they're a lot of fun.  It would be nice to meet all my cousins in Hazzard.

Just to give you cousins some perspective, my uncle used to make shine AND run it AND yes! He was chased a few times by Revenuers!  I was 7 when he died. Oddly enough,  his son ( i yr. to the day younger than me....I just turned 59,  Aug. 31st and so he just turned 58. .....he used to be A State Trooper!  Things are strange.....even outside of Hazzard!

Not only did we miss his Finest but we missed stories like these!
