HazzardAyre64 Talk is cheap, Action is needed !!!

I read everyday about the workings involving the United Confederate States of America. I stand and honor the Confederate flag every morning and salute it as I go to bed. I proudly sing the Confederate National Anthem, in the mornings. I broadcast on the radio the news of our modern as well as our ancestral Confederacy, yet few if any that I see and hear from take the few minutes to do simple things to help the cause go on.

During the 2010 elections, we heard all over the noise on the Tea Party. Fine, but where was the voice of the Confederate States and the Confederate National Party? Has anyone picked up the phone and called C-Span, and asked why there is not a Confederate Party line, to call in? There’s a line for Republicans, Democrats and Independents, but not for the Confederate Party. Why? If more called in and spoke up there would be.

I have spoken numerous times to our leaders, of the CSA and CNP, yet albeit a good effort, no body seems to be outspoken of and for the CNP, and/or the UCSA. Why? Instead of watching the latest movie, with crap hitting the fan in DC, we all should be watching C-Span. More over all Confederates need to be speaking up, not just laying back, and barking about why this or that did or did not happen. The members of both the Knytes-of-Anarchy, and myself are out here doing battle, yet those who should be getting involved are just sitting back and not getting up and using their phones. Sure I’d like contributions as far as operational funds coming from others, on the radio station/network thing, as well as a few paying up their dues. Okay I understand that money is tight, few can do that. But there are other ways of helping. Call C-Span, call FoX News, call those in mainstream media and ask why not include the Confederate States in things? Why not speak up and help the CNP , become as much of a recognized political party as did the Tea Party people. Let’s as CNP party members get ready and back a candidate for the 2012. Lets rally on behalf of the CNP/UCSA. If the Tea Party can do it, certainly so can us as modern and dedicated Confederates. If we truly, want to see, the flag of Dixie rise again, get off your butts to help the UCSA/CNP get on its feet. We in the Knytes-of-Anarchy are and do everyday, how about the rest of you.

My thoughts, I could be wrong.

HazzardAyre63 Maybe there needs to be a protest in America

You have been seeing it in Cairo Egypt. Your hearing it from so many other nations around the globe. People are tyred and sick of existing and dieing under oppressive , corrupt , Governments. Should not now as we see the nations politicians in America and some charcoal colored President, lying and taking away everything, under the disguise of saving money from the Federal treasure chest that has been invaded all too often, for way too many not needed projects? The core of the United Confederate States of America, and the Confederate National Party, was in its original formation to get out from under oppressive government that lead to the great war between the states. Now we are nearing that now, should we as both Sons of Confederate Veterans, as well as Knytes of Anarchy, be too shy, to stand up and create a fuss to say enuff of this stuff? The Knytes of Anarchy, is after all beyond being the hot rod classic and custom OTR truck and old skool trucking history preservation organization, branch of the United American Independent Truckers Association, we are also the truly active soldiers of the United Confederate States of America(UCSA). We are the operating version, of the Confederate States Marine Corps, and as such, I’m announcing from HQ that plans are under way to engage, some rather serious protests and such for and of the UCSA. More on that after the 17th of March.

Now then , if you have done as instructed, and began watching CSpan and Cspan 2 overnight, to really see what Uncle Sam is doing, by the way from the way Uncle Sam, is saying its broke. Might be Uncle Sam, crying Wolf, as in AyreWolf. As it would seem, AyreWolf Aviation and sister operations, Wyld Eagle Toewing, Southern Eagle XPRESS an LtL trucking company, amongst others seems to be the only solid firm in America that has kept it together, not laid off anyone, and seems to have been able to keep, albeit small, but a profit even through the recession. Now then , should AyreWolf Aviation be , paying TAXES? Yes, and so I am working with our accountants to do that, but dig this, went to find my IRS, EIN number, and could not find such. So called IRS up and asked them to look it up. The last real time , we used it was at Cooter’s Bar & Grill, in Morgan Utah, but guess what?Because I could not remember the mailing address, the lady on the damn phone could not help me. Something to do with confidentiality, But said she could mail me a form. Fine, but dig this, there is an IRS office next to Mike Crapo’s office in Twin Falls, problem is, its never open. You can’t get any help there. I have three choices, drive to Boise, Pocatello, or Salt Lake City. Guess what ? Uncle Sam may cry Wolf but, Wolf will not be that excited to pay. Why? Because, if Uncle wants my money, get rid of Government waste. Get rid of Government employees that can’t, or wont or both do their damn jobs. That’s how to fix this deficit. Don’t cut the agencies budgets, get the idiots out of those agencies that are wasting money and clogging up the pipe. Then Uncle will get the Wolf’s money.

Like I said its really time for the UCSA, to stand up , say no more, and do like those in Egypt and such are doing, force Obama and his crooks out of office, and input UCSA, people in there.

HazzardAyre61 Parting thoughts and some important 411:

Among all the tragedies we bare the current economy crisis is only the fault of us. Not the Government, not anyone, except our people. When business’s don’t open their doors until 10:00 AM, when everybody is in a rush to get off work at 16:30 hours, when we keep working only for the weekend and take Friday’s off to boot, its not the Government’s fault, its ours. No matter the great deficit that this nations lazy politicians put us in, when local outlets for Government offices , both Federal and local don’t open or are not staffed, how can the revenuers collect anything to fund the nation and reduce the deficit? When you can’t even get your EIN number from the IRS because you forgot one meezly address, where you first filed taxes, and need to file a new return, its not the fault of Obamabeenlyin.

When Government offices that are supposed to serve, and can’t make the goal post, it’s not always the agency, just a bunch of acquired stupid's or ignorance and sometimes arrogance, that starves our economy.

Face it friends, our youth and even post war baby boomers, have been brought up under the hand out, rather than hand up philosophy. As long as they can stay at home behind a key board, this nation will be bumming money from China.

In months to come, watch everything get cut back or reduced. From SSI payments, to even food stamps. We as a population are satisfied watching the latest movies on HBO, or arrogant commentary on FoX News. Yet we really ought to be watching CSpan and Span-2 for what is really going on in DC.

I for one am bracing for that nasty letter from SSA, that says, your future benefits have been slashed to such and such, from what it is now. Our nations deficit will take us all tightening up our belts. Business expansion if it happens at all will be slow. Foreign oil will rise to $150.00 a barrel. Which by winter means $5.00 gasoline, and $6.00 a gallon diesel prices. Which means that current bottle of milk will rise from $3.00 a gallon, to near $18.00 a gallon. But if we all throw in the towel and give up it’ll get worse. The answers are as plain as the winter winds blowing outside my door. Confederate States of America, and the Confederate National Party. More over our people, need, to not be lazy. Get off your butts if you want to get on your feet.

Now finally, until after St. Patty’s Day should any of ya’ll need to reach me, just call 208-212-9653.

Until then

Stay truckin.

HazzardAyre60 Bridging the gap successfully

Before I get started, I need to pass this on to the tech mech’s at Cable One in Twin Falls, I think your problems with your Streambox Transport ACT L3 that brings in KSL –5 from Salt Lake City is intentional. I think the local broadcasters like KMVT and KTVB have you doing this, so that when the picture freezes, we get tired and watch the local news. My opinion I could be wrong.

Okay then, HazzardAyre News is rolling out like I-80 from Tooele Utah to Wendover. When the concept of HazzardAyre News came up in mid December, 2010 the idea was and is , to bridge the gap of way too many other blogs, on Blogger and elsewhere, that dealt with news from the Knytes-of-Anarchy and likewise, the AyreWolvez Military Aviation Association. It was getting confusing and troublesome even to me to keep all those updated, so we shoved em both together and wahlah HazzardAyre News. But HazzardAyre has exceeded even my expectations, likewise I’m thankful.

Okay then, as I wrap this up until mid March, and will be offline as well as only available by cell phone, there are some issues that need to be cleared up.

First, and it may be by name , but the Knytes-of-Anarchy is not a , repeat, NOT A BIKERS CLUB. The Knytes-of-Anarchy, is the sibling OTR old skool trucker/trucking enthusiasts, preservation historical organization of the United American Independent Truckers Association. Yes, the Knytes-of-Anarchy is the last remains of the Hazzard County Knytes, and has a Dukes-of-Hazzard history, but that’s it our history, not our future. You could call the Knytes-of-Anarchy is the hot rod, trick big rig OTR truck group. The Knytes-of-Anarchy was never thought of being anything political, or to be anything except a group where others of the same passion of old and new custom trucks could get together and share that passion. Remembering trucking’s golden era. Yet at formation we entered into a verbal partnership with the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and became the Mountain West chapter there of. While one of the Knytes’s siblings is a bikers group. The Knytes ourselves are NOT A BIKERS CLUB. From our radio network, to HazzardAyre News, we ARE THE VOICE OF THE AMERICAN TRUCKER!!!!  However what you will see in mid May is a national trade publication written by us, called LONG HAUL JOURNAL. Which will be a mixing, of FootNotes, the old OverDrive, magazine. With the old look and attitude that Mike Parkhurst envisioned in 1960 when the first issue of Overdrive rolled out as the only(then) true owner/operator truckers publication, more over the basic news of the newly(then) formed RoadMasters Association , that became the Independent Truckers Association, that in 1989 was revived as us, in the United American Independent Truckers Association. Of which, The Knytes-of-Anarchy and the United RoadCommanders Association(URCA) is the Mountain West regional chapter thereof. But again, the Knytes-of-Anarchy IS NOT A BIKERS CLUB!!!!

While my head may be going at mach speed in the clouds, I keep my feet planted on the ground going toewing my style of trucking. And for those that need to know. The word Toewing, came about from the suggestion of one of my former interns at Dixie Diesel Radio. Her name is Emme. She suggested, combining the two words TOE and TOW so that no one could ever mispronounce the word again as many do.

Until St. Patrick’s Day,

Keep it between the ditches.

HazzardAyre57 Shows the situation as it is:

Sorry Knytes, but I had to shoot this up, just so those who haven't seen it, can go pick up a Times News and take a gander. Remember the female reporter from up Sun Valley way who hauled herself and a photo taker and took up my day to do a story on the club? Well saw this article in the paper today by the same reporter, who was reporting on fashion tips for Valentines Day. First the, ah so called model she used to describe things, although female , looked more like a sheep herder than a feature photo model. The rest of the article was as far as I was concerned was good, except the two items, I disagreed with. First, First, I think both genders ought to dress comfortably, yet at least , even a modest degree try to assert their best assets. Granted its not for one to flaunt what they don’t have, yet if you have a nice package , a lady or a guy, ought to at least show it off. I’m not saying a suit & tie for a guy, nor a mini skirt, 7 inch heels, fish net hose, and such for gals, but hey if you look good and attractive, why not put that out there. That’s of course if you are what I will term extraverted. If your more introverted , then maybe not flamboyant , but at least flatter yourself a bit.

Any way Knytes ya’ll got to read this article, I just chuckled. But hey the reporter is young and she’s learning. Too bad she’ll not be Hazzard Gazzette or HazzardAyre News quality for another few years, but who knows.

Later tonight early morning, I’ll be doing up the last article for HazzardAyre News for the first financial quarter of 2011. Reason is, yours truly has a busy schedule this week, as of Wednesday, my butt is airborne for Daytona, as one of our vendors got me pit row seating, at this years Race, at Daytona. Second by the time I get back, much will be, being done to transplant much of my half of both AyreWolf Aviation and Wyld Eagle Toewing(formerly Dixie Towing) to the mini Cassia area of Idaho. This my friends is in anticipation of a final leg of my run in Idaho. The realization that short of you the immediate local members of the Knytes, I have no family in Western Idaho, no real property land wise in western Idaho, so as Ricky Saturday asked, What the hell am I still doing here? So until I figure out either very southeastern Idaho, (Bancroft) or back into Utah, the mini Cassia area, feels better for me to rework the business, take off some pressure from my shoulders, and see where the planning committee of the Knytes decides to put the flagship station to DXB and so on. Not saying Buhl is done for, but I have decided, I’m done trying, there just are not enough marbles, in the can for me to bust my ass any more for anything western Idaho. Only if Clay, or Curt calls me and pushes, will I ever , get ambitious for a project here. The Hazzard I left, is not the Hazzard I returned too. In fact, Hazzard has once again became Hagerman, as the town , no longer deserves the honor of being called Hazzard.

Any mile, me needs sleep, see ya’ll on the flip side.

L8R Ya’ll,

HazzardAyre59 Forward thinkers and visionaries not wanted in Idaho

Despite a rather fragile if not in the toilet economy, when new out of the box thinking and encouraging dreaming , or visionaries , these are two things, Idaho does not want a damn thing to do with. Anything that shakes up the sand or the tranquility or complacency of Idaho is flat not wanted. Case n Point: I suggested the other day to an official of the Idaho Department of Health And Welfare, that instead of having folks call in to recertify for entitlement programs such as Food Stamps etc, why not make it to where one could do that on line? After all if you can see your ebt balance online, how about making it easier for someone to recertify, than having to call up H&W, then leaving a phone number for H&W to call you back, wasting your entire day, their response, we have to verify the information. Okay, but if you can do it on the phone, why not online? Idaho is one of those states that is not that tech savy, nor does it want to be, and Hells forbid if you are someone that has a idea. Idaho, to date does not have any new idea incubators like say Utah has. Yes Utah has the population to support such things, but when you really think about it, Utah is populated by folks from Idaho , that got tired of the drag on the heels of Idaho’s limited futuristic thinking.

It is said that Idaho has fewer college graduates, and those graduating from High school, and going on to college than any state in the Mountain West region. More over is at the very bottom of the list, when it comes to graduates in the rest of the nation. I’m not saying that there are not achievers nor those that go onto things bigger, from Idaho there are, but the number is pale by comparison to neighboring states.

Just try to locate venture capitalists or as said incubators and say your in Idaho, most national firms involved in such things just turn the heads and cough. There is only one firm in Idaho doing anything in this direction , called Sage Community Services in Boise. Their programs are targeted to Ada, Elmore counties. The rest of Idaho, is SOL.

But if your one of a visionary type, the Knytes-of-Anarchy welcomes you. As we are one organization that treasures forward progressive thinking.

Last blog of the quarter , next time.

L8R Ya’ll

HazzardAyre55 There are trucks and then there are pickups .

There are trucks the there are pickups. What trinket toys and accessories one buys for one may not always look good or be practical for the other. While both share some of the same basic components, what a OTR truck is equipped with, while in some ways may look bullish on a pickup, still not always. Then there are the different sizes of trucks.

While a single axle truck with big knobby tires is great for a 4x4 or off road pickup, is not very useful on a day to day, dually work truck. Even if it is a one and a half ton, flat bed.

The one side of this and I have to say this, as it was and is another time I can say , “I told you so” diesels have come a long way from where they were even 15 years prior. The idea of a performance diesels even in light duty form, were as I was told years ago was a joke. Who would buy a hot rod diesel? Now that BullyDog amongst others that are out there, folks are no longer saying that. I can remember at the 1988 SEMA show in Lost Wages Nevada, when I had the chance to break bread with Vic Edlebrock Junior, after a marketing seminar there , when I said, that Edlebrock ought to make performance products for upcoming automotive and performance diesels. He told me then , that his company would have to retool , for that, and that at the time was not ROI to do so. Guess he done changed his mind huh? Same thing went, when the very first Dixie Diesel Shop opened in Blackfoot Idaho in the fall of 1989. Everybody there thought I should be in the big brick building at the end of Alice street in Blackfoot, for opening what was then cutting edge of a performance diesel shop. With now 9 Dixie Diesel Shop(s) open and two new ones, one in Burley and one to begin construction near Caldwell Idaho in 2013 , guess that bit of crazy was not so nuts after all.

When I see the signs on a building that says truck accessories, I think of chrome, and trick items for OTR trucks, not pickups. Or not only for pickups. I think there ought to be a distinguishing difference, and the sign read, pickup accessories. Of course there are those parts that cross over. What works on a one ton tow truck can easily be used on a carrier or even a heavy hooker. But what about the trucks albeit baby trucks, but commercial light duty trucks? Who is carrying the parts and trick accessories for those trucks, more over making them?

That in my next edition.

Keep it tween the ditches,
