Every nown again I get someone who will tell me the art work and graphics for the blogs and our TV show are good . Which gives me cause to say thank you. Mind you I’m not a web site artist, or graphics designer, the basic description of me is a UCSMC aircraft mechanic/aviator with a GED. Most of what I get, and I’m sorry to say is gained by outlaw. More over a bunch of things the club does is outlaw or at least fight the system. Even the radio station and our radio network started outlaw, that is no FCC license. Just because those revenue sucking Feds say you can’t, we said oh yes we can and did. When doing an outlaw radio station one has to make sure its way off in the sticks somewhere, where not too many legal stations and inspectors start sniffing around to give you a pain in the ass. While all the stations on the network totally owned by the club and as HazzardAyre Radio, are legal now, there are times they were as far from being so. The FCC would look at their contour maps, or distance to another station or frequency overlap and so on, the bastards are in Washington DC, and wouldn’t know Bell Rapids, or Malad Idaho from an ant hill. As far as Bell Rapids there ain’t squat for a station there, except for ours and we had to use Buhl as the home base as Hazzard itself albeit nothing there was too close to those damn analog TV translators over there. I thought when the FCC banned those channels for expansion or to set up nationwide low cost broadband Internet those translators would be history. That nationwide expansion never happened another Obama con job. Those channels and frequency spectrum, was sold to the likes of A.T.&.T and Verizon. Only to put up cell towers. No free broadband or low cost Internet, unless you count texting internet. We all got snowed. Only people that gained from that refarming of channels and all was the cell phone companies, as well as retailers like Radio Shack, and Best Buy . As they got to sell converters and new TV’s. The only other folks that gained there was the cable and satellite companies, since there was only one way that those old big TV’s would work, on cable or satellite. No CCTV? tough you had to buy a new TV or cable/TV. I know it wasn’t fair, but all the blame is not on Obama, the refarm of those TV channels started with G.W. Bush. See those two parties are in bed with each other. More on that in the PM.
All of my graphics though I build from hours of filling in, sampling pics from all over the net, adding my two trucks in, and so on. But I make each and every one, myself using Windows Bitmap. I mean every one of them. Its also like when we did the TV gig , that started with a half hour on warbirds but filled a whole week at one to two hours everyday, with not much more than all Hazzard County content. Now not bragging here, but what we did there was popular, had to be with not only content, but injections of things that were barely copyright legal, if even legal. For once there were people tuning into Pocatello’s Vision12 that had never watched it before, and did not much care. High School kids, College kids, even politicians tuned in and made special guest sit in’s. I always said if the city of Pocatello would have put me in charge of the whole damn place we could have took Vision12 to a whole new altitude. But then as now, I wrote the copy, did pre production, did post production, produced the music, and all of it myself with only two other club members. And only when they were not trailer truckin or toewin. The rest of the time I did the work. Had there been a ratings system for public access TV, I’ll bet money we would have been in the top two if not numero uno. We were airing stuff nobody else would dare. But it was timely information, and comedic entertainment done in Hazzard County style. And that was the end result.
Whether it’s TV, Radio, web blog, or our rides, at least its original, its us, and no one can take that away from us or me, and that’s what piss’s so many off that they can’t do it themselves.
Well much to do today, Christmas eve and all. Plus really need to see Charlie.
More in the PM, L8R Ya’ll,

| Luke 2:16-20“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) .
