The Hazzard County Legend continues especially in the Mountain West

Despite the fact that all too many ignore me, even Ben’s wife Alma and so called this Tracey Duke, there is not if anyone more dedicated to or loyal to The Hazzard County saga than yours truly. The fact that there is a Cooter’s Place or one was even created was not new. Way back in 1987 The original Hazzard County Knytes were working on building a Hazzard County/Dukes based theme park in west central Idaho near Mountain Home called Hazzard County CSA. Change Hammett Idaho to Hazzard.

Of course that would have been a stretch since Hazzard Idaho was already the official, Idaho legislature approved nick name of Hagerman 35 miles west of Twin Falls, 100 miles south of Boise.

Elmore County Commissioners rejected the plans for Hazzard County CSA, and opted to explore building a Nuclear Power plant there instead. Another story, for another time. Hazzard County Homecomings? Really not new. The Hazzard County Knytes have been throwing a Hazzard County celebration called the Hazzard County Nationals, throughout the two states of Utah and Idaho for 30 years. The first one was thrown in the Hazzard City(Hagerman) Park , raised just over $100,000.00 , plus raised additional funds to rebuild an old farm and save Christmas for a burned out family called the Twitchell Family.

Additionally the reason, that the DUKES TV show saw a regeneration along with two reunion movies was not because of some accident. TNN owned then by Gaylord Broadcasting that also ran such TV shows as HeeHaw, was convinced by a bunch of handwritten letters 80% wrote by members and members families of The Hazzard County Knytes, the two reunion movies on CBS would never have gotten the green fast track light they did, had it not been for the members of the Hazzard County Knytes, committing in writing to run TV ads on local affiliates during the airing of both reunion movies. Even before TNN started running the reruns of the Dukes, when the Dukes were still up for grabs by local TV stations here in our area and coast to coast, it was the financial support of the Hazzard County Knytes , airing member companies ads on those airings of the syndicated runs of the Dukes on local TV stations.

Which brings me to the fact that few times as a major dealer of performance Harley and speed parts for custom rides of all kinds, Hazzard County Choppers delivers. From 5 Mountain West shops, that started in the tiny town of Hagerman Idaho in 1979 called the REAL; Hazzard County Garage. With verbal and two signed agreements both Skip Ward, Paul Picard, and Gy Waldron made the only studio approved outreach of the TV show as the Hazzard County Garage, of Hazzard(Hagerman) Idaho. The Hazzard County Knytes was a natural extension, from the Hazzard County Garage. Started with 15 members in Hazzard, the Hazzard County Knytes, has 50,000 members nationwide, with a treasury hold of just under $300 Million, and while the club took a slight detour in 2008 despite major protests the Hazzard County Knytes became the Knytes-of-Anarchy. In each case the club has been under the direction , of President, Ben Jones(aka Cooter) . Over the years the Hazzard County Knytes have done allot of good for allot of people, when a nationwide truckers radio network, was going under it was the Hazzard County Knytes that bought outright The Interstate Truckers Radio Network through the Hazzard County Garage’ heavy truck shop, the original Dixie Diesel Shop, which was and is the original custom big over the road truck shop, long before Chrome Shop Mafia and others, it is and was the Dixie Diesel Shop , making large trucks works of art, rather than beasts of burden. The list goes on, but it should be mentioned even though we are ignored by the many who say they are our friends and supporters, nobody , I mean NOBODY is more dedicated to nor more loyal to the Hazzard County saga and legend that the Hazzard County Knytes. Since for us, Hazzard County, in fact the TV show that spawned it is not just a TV show, to us Hazzard County is not just a place on earth, more over for us, Hazzard County is a place in the heart and soul.

Maybe Tracey Duke and Alma, need to start recognizing that without us there would be less fans, and less loyalty. We’re calling in our marker, the Hazzard County Knytes demands to be recognized and honored.

Like Bo Duke said in the movie, its OUR TIME.

Long day today, headed to bed,

Not tonight honey my butt hurts

Usually I have something inspirational or insightful to say here but not tonight. Since, darn it honey

not tonight , my butt hurts.

It hurts from so much people giving me the big shaft that I am hardly able to handle it.

Tried to watch the news online, same time same crap. I don’t know if its the wind shaking things up on Farnsworth peak, and

messing up KSL’s stream or what, but it hardly comes in. Did a speed check at 22:00 (10:00PM)

once from Comcast in SLC , 10 mbps down, only 3mbps up. So did one from a server in Rock Springs Wyoming, barely 22MBPS

and just at 2.89 up. As far as TV , can’t. Allwest can’t deliver. Oh if I spent money , went out, bought a new all digital TV sure

it’d work, but I thought one reason you signed up for cable was to get a digital to analog converter, in that set top box, coax in, coax out. Not in AllWest’s case. They ought to tell you that before you sign up for cable service.

So while I’m keeping AllWest for Internet and phone, hauling in the cable box in the morning and going to Dish Network next week. Oh and as far as a converter, Dish says, buy an old VCR, hook the digital box to the VCR, and the VCR to your old TV.

Why couldn’t AllWest tell me that?

I’m now counting the days to our radio station having its own T1, which means a dedicated signal, and much faster.

I’m also looking forward to going home to Idaho late June. I’m tired of this.

If I’m not online Monday night you’ll know that me and AllWest didn’t get along, and everything got

pulled.

Don’t show you is, if ya’ll ain’t

One of those things I hate to death, is people who on Facebook are not really on Facebook, just their

cell phones are turned on and you see the green light on, that says they are there. So you

send em a message and don’t get a response. Of course they may not want to chat with you, which

begs the question, if you don’t wanna chat with me, defriend me. If I send you a message and you

don’t respond, I rapidly defriend you. I don’t have the desire nor inclination to mess around with

posers and or teasers. It’s like this gal I know here in the complex, nice gal, okay on the eyes, and

was interested in working for the club. Yet I sent her a text about the post of hers here about a fire

here at the Wentworth, guess what no response. I remember things like this because its where I LIVE

it concerns me, just like that guy who shot up that university in Tennessee a few years ago, nobody thought

of sending out a Facebook text telling students there’s a guy shooting people. Guess what that changed.

What about the Wentworth here, shouldn’t the onsite manager, or Niki, have sent me a message saying

there’s a fire in the complex?

The two reasons I’m online is the club and my company, if it were not for that, I’d sell the computer and

go off the grid, many are and do. Our Charter President in Twin Falls Ricky, has no computer cept

for his cell phone, even then he makes phone calls with it, and has no intention of buying a computer.

He is content with living life simple. Off the grid.

So in closing here, if your not on Facebook or online, turn off your damn cell phone.

Freebees don’t like you any more

Ah the good old days, Yahoo, was king of the search engines and much of its content including classified

ads and so on were free.

Newspapers allowed you to read their paper for free, this was good, since if you might be moving there

or setting up a branch of your company there you could peruse the classifieds to find an apartment

or office/shop. Forget that, today ya’ll gotta subscribe , even then content is sparse.

Such utilities as WeatherBug were completely free and didn’t contain adware , malware . Today

WeatherBug is still free, but you have to wade through a mud pit of ads, or subscribe to their paid

version.

Doesn’t anyone do anything just for the common good? Rather than the common good of their wallets?

Thank goodness, there is the Hazzard County Knytes and of course, both HazzardAyre Radio and

HazzardAyre Gazzette. We as a group, have never charged a penny for anyone to look us over and read

content. Not ever. It’s the reason we exist and our core mission, to watch out for the little guys and

gals. The small business’s to make sure their not getting ripped off or overcharged. It’s what we call, Fighting

the System, and quite frankly in many areas of our nation in fact our entire nation the system is not only

broke its been defiled to an evil that few are willing to battle against, but we stay at it, because we

know with some serious Hazzard County Enginuity the system can be repaired as well as our nation.

How do we do this? If there’s something that is not meeting the needs of a community we step in and

fire up one of our own, beit a radio station or newspaper. We listen to experts like Beth Anne of CSC Talk Radio

which you can hear on HazzardAyre Radio weekdays at 08:00 hours(8:00AM) . We’re not afraid of digging

things up, even if we do get our hands dirty.

Onto the freebees.

Expect in a few years, things you take for granted, like Facebook, Yahoo, Hotmail, and sadly I predict

even Gmail, will be a for subscription to use, in essence ya’ll will have to pay a fee to check your email

or use Facebook.

I don’t think there will be a great exodus of the use of either of these services or the web, but just like

free TV was, you’ll have to pay to use or watch them.

Finally, on TV , I’m taking my cable converter into AllWest in the morning. Oh I’m keeping the Internet

thing and the phone service going, but if the only way to watch cable TV is to go out and buy a new

TV because AllWest doesn’t have any more converter boxes, why bother? Just buy a cheap VCR, buy

Dish Network, and watch TV.

Even with your old TV.

Aren’t you glad that there is the HazzardAyre Gazzette ?

I don’t think she likes me much any more, but then I’m on my way out any way.

Over night I made the serious decision to put a date stamp on my exit from this hell called

Evanston Wyoming. While the club will be running the radio werx and all here, I for one will

not have to call this stink hole my home any more. I-84 to I-80 puts me here if I need to be here, but gently

gets me out of here after.

So got to looking at my situation. Sure can’t do the radio gig right now, at least until we get our T1

pipeline installed and operational, the studio built and all, but that don’t mean that we can’t attack

the media as a printed publication as well as online. Heck if people are willing to pay $1.00 for the Uinta

County Herald that has little to read about anyway, plus wont accept the invitation to have me write a column or two

for them, piss on em, why should I spend my ad money with you when, you wont let me include a

section in your paper. That’s why I didn’t buy ads in your paper. I’ll bet there are quite a few others

in Evanston that feel the same way.

Especially at $18.00 per column inch are they nuts? Hey Mark old buddy, the Herald ain’t the SL Tribune.

Your paper sucks.

So like just about everything else, who comes to the rescue? The Hazzard Knytes and we are coming to

the rescue to get out a weekly or bi-weekly paper worth $1.00 that you’ll want to read and subscribe

to. Oh and advertisers in Evanston, its only a $50.00 flat rate, no matter how many words , size

of photo or content, You pay us $50.00 a month, your in for that whole month , no matter how many

times you run an ad in our paper.

Okay then.

I was looking over the content on both my Facebook and Yahoo home pages. My has it gotten stale. I thought

its good they don’t charge money to view things on there, no body would subscribe.

Dig this you’ll be able to read our paper, the HazzardAyre Gazzette, online free and you’ll get to really

read the WHOLE DAMN PAPER, free. If you want to subscribe fine if not, thanks for looking,

Newspapers these days, have gotten rather snippy . Its not just the local paper here in Evanston.

Every paper I know of has limits on how much free content you can read, beyond that ya’ll gotta

subscribe. However in this day and age, with foreign wars, and people like ISIS and such , ALL media

has a responsibility to keep people informed. We get to you through our newspaper and our online

radio station soon to go over the air in Evanston in September 2015.

We cover news and events, much like you hearing it from a neighbor, whilest sitting on your front

porch sipping lemonade after milking cows. Not like some college aged kid in an air conditioned

office barking at you.

But the HazzardAyre Gazzette is not new.

The HazzardAyre Gazzette was originally the Hazzard County Gazzette, created out of a free want

ad publication out of Gooding Idaho in in 1997 called Monkey Bizzness , when publisher Mickey, got

a better gig in Boise, she sold the publication to us, we in turn renamed it and shazzam , Hazzard County

Gazzette.

Mainly a publication of the greater Magic Valley(Twin Falls) Idaho area, the Hazzard County Gazzette

grew. We are now read in Metro Utah, Southeast Idaho and now here in Evanston/Rock Springs, Wyoming.

We swapped out the county thing, installed Ayre, and as such the HazzardAyre Gazzette is more in

step with the radio gig.

Still the southern bred newspaper you loved.

Okay then, with all that said, and my insides finally settling I can go back to doing some shut eye.

Finally my move away day? 07-02-2015.

TTYLY(Talk-to-you-later-ya’ll)

No Church this Sunday, old Bean n Bacon soup killed my innerds.

So with every intention of heading to church I expected to get up at 11:00 AM . Not this Sunday.

I was up at 7:00 AM holding my insides so bad that you’d think I was going to deliver twins.

Seems that bad Bean=n-Bacon soup I ate decided to re attack, so after I emptied my insides 3 times into

my toilet. At 11:00 I finally fell asleep on the couch, just got up a few ago, to take some Pepto, and I’m going back

to bed.

TTYLY ya’ll

Rework of the Knytes

Well , I told you I’d be here at 04:00 and I am, something to do with bandwidth, system runs a tad

faster.

Okay , High Council meeting last night. Results? Club reverting to its original handle as the

Hazzard County Knytes, in all its forms. Something to do with showing America we are more than,

but not taking away from being an MC. So we start work that way.

Some officer shake ups though. Ben Jones (aka Cooter) will remain President of the Hazzard County

Knytes, however, VEE-PEE will go to James Best(aka Sheriff Roscoe) 2nd VP, Shooter Jennings

3rd VP and CEO; Yours truly (aka AyreWolf). All that means is my work load got much heavier.

Starting the Miss Hazzard County 2015/16 talent search. This years GP is a whopping $200K

 as such its time to get stinky with the kinky again, hot legs, small feet , dainty toes

in nylon hose is the required basic attire, anything else is up to the applicants.

Finally, the> is back on the front burner, and its a big deal for a southern cooked

meal here in Evanston. Details Monday evening.

Want to announce, Mirinda in Gooding Idaho, the one of only 4 women in the Knytes that has

voting privileges has opened a new gig there. Called ; Rebel Racing Graphics. If your looking to put

the punch on your race ride get in touch with them, just wonder if she can do something for the

club’ logo for a few rods and rigs?

Gotta hit the rack, church today. As I close, I wonder, if those who write the books I read to advance

in the LDS Priesthood and all, really apply, what is being taught. Such as, here’s a Priesthood Brother

needing help to once again free the radio gear from bondage, basically with a serious need, could sure

use some bread to gain some traction in the action here. As I read my book, it talked about how

Priesthood brethren are supposed to be united in helping others in the priesthood. There are other

things that are taught that I wonder, how close any of them follow what their being taught?

Case-n-point, only have seen my home teachers twice since I have been here, although I’m greatfull for

all the Ward has done and will do for me here, some serious blessings to my household and me would

be greatly appreciated.

Any mile need sleep.
