Us and RFDTV plus where do they find these women?

In 2008 I was introduced to RFDTV through a mash up of channels on a satellite system out of Glenn’s Ferry. (Lots happened there, some good mostly bad,) so I began watching. Patrick and his crew there did a fantastic job, and in many cases still do. Although there are certain hosts of programs that should have stayed silent from the day’s of U.S. Farm Report, by and large I loved RFDTV. I still like it, and although when they took over Family Net and my one program Movin On here got axed I still love the majority of the programs. Especially the kountry music block on Sunday’s. With A Look Back, HeeHaw, Country Diner, and all I really love RFDTV. So in fever , I sent I don’t know how many requests to their ad sales department, and got pretty much the same reply, that they felt we were not a good match for RFDTV. What? Not a good match, really? An organization founded on the image and beliefs of the Dukes-of-Hazzard, tell me a show or group more matched to rural USA than the Knytes? Proud of our rural roots, and wanting and working to bring a few of the enjoyments of urban life to rural Idaho, like faster broadband Internet to areas not able, but was it that we got into hot women that made the decision makers at RFDTV not want to take us on as a advertiser? After all, there is HeeHaw, and that’s about as hot a women as I want to see.

How about one of those farm shows , doing a bit or article story on us who do farm aviation? From crop dusting to what is termed precision agriculture. It takes real skill, flying those fields between fence rows, power lines and roads putting down those chemicals that keep those fields producing a crop.

What about us kountry guys, who on a Saturday night gather at a dirt 1/8th mile track and race for points and a trophy, the real beginnings of what we call NASCAR, beyond the shine runners. By now you all get the idea.

Seems as though RFDTV avoided being cut off at CoX Cable except in a few markets. Maybe those markets that were thinking about it, know something we all don’t. But whatever. I truly think Patrick and RFDTV have a good network in all of them, and we’d like to be part of it. Maybe if we keep poking Patrick, he’ll get his people to at least give us a call back, and talk on it some more.

Okay then, speaking of hot gals and rides.

If you look at most performance automotive publications, one will find gals with a featured ride. Many of these gals are from an agency, the rest is the question I always ask, where do they find these gals?

It ain’t from our area. If there are some here that are that daring I ain’t finding em.

Which brings us to this; Although late getting going here, the Knytes-of-Anarchy is once again searching for a Miss Hazzard County 2013/14. GP, is a $150K modeling contract, and prize package. Miss Hazzard County will be featured of course of our website, that is ready to launch except for the female eye candy. So if there are any of you so daring, email, a pic or two of you, to samcromcidaho@inbox.com and tell us your story. I’ll tell you more on where the big beauty contest will be held in March.

See ya’ll in the PM Tuesday, and congrats to RFDTV you won again, and hope to see more in 2013. Good job Patrick.

Monday in Hazzard is not like Monday elsewhere

Life in Hazzard is unlike anywhere else. Maybe a bit more high octane, but better organized I think.

You go to what food store we have in Hazzard , and things are in the right place, mayo is near ketchup and mustard, next to the pickles, next to the bread , cheese and salami. But not in nearby Twin Falls. Stopped in the Fred Myers there and came away without the cheese, pickles, and unless I got the help I got, might have dumped the concept of the salami. Freddies might be part of the Kroger family, but their kissing cousins Smith’s at least put things in a place you can find em. And oh yes, the Smiths in Burley is a better store as well.

So came home here to the house, and put in an old video of my old TV shows in Pocatello. The time frame may have changed but the content and the projects ain’t changed much. Looking back , when that peanut brained bikini bouncer and I got into a penus swinging contest fight, the smarter thing then would have been go back into Utah or Wyoming, not west to Glenn's Ferry.

Which brings me to the paranoia subject I mentioned yesterday on WyldAyre.

The synopsis here was , I was there in the new house, finally relaxing from the stress in Pocatello. This young gal who lived next door, was outside on this pogo stick. She was in the dumps, I simply asked what’s wrong? She responded that she needed money for school supplies. Now photographing a tween for anything is not the number one thing on our list, but we as a club thought hey when we have the air show there in GF, shoot some shots of her in a flight suit, give her some extra cash, and that be that.

Whoa , there was this stuck up city council dude that made that concept out to being everything it wasn’t, and ultimately we dumped not only the air show but the renovation of that communities airport that it truly needed. Now added to that, besides the damn airport, but the Knytes had eyes on what was the Trophy club, and putting the media HQ upstairs, the Boars Nest Bada Bing bar restaurant downstairs. In essence putting the flavors of the Soprano’s and Hazzard in one place. But piss us off in one place, don’t expect us to branch out and extend our kindness’s elsewhere. The Knytes have became very cynical and choosy any more.

Example, before 2007 , putting our Hazzard flavor radio on with hiring female co-hosts was a pay gig. We paid every week. Problem was after a few gals made $2,500.00 every week, many gals split. There went the money, the costs of training everything. So that’s why we said nope. If some skirt wants in , responds to a help wanted ad, have be here for a time usually 30 to 60 days, and if they stay, pay em for the past 60 days, and have em sign the contract. But at least you knew by then, you had someone you could count on. Those number 8 that live elsewhere, now, but fact is, a phone call or plane trip away they’re here.

It’s a shame our society has gotten this way, used to be you spit and shook someone's hand that deal whatever it was , was done. You kept your word. But today seems everything has to be on paper.

There are tons of things that I wish we as a club, or our population as a society could return to.

When I sit having coffee and Mary’s and Larry’s in Hazzard and look upon the hardly changed main street and see a vision of a Norman Rockwell painting, I think have we really progressed in our world? The thing is sadly I think we haven’t. We’re more bitter, untrusting and way too critical of our neighbors.

If you go investigating why someone is at your farm neighbors house that you figure ought not to be there, its you that will get cited for trespassing. There are exceptions, but it’s a shame.

The Knytes-of-Anarchy never pledges or thinks of ourselves as superior to anyone. Fact is its in our core to not make a member or anyone more important than another as everyone is equal. We are creations of God above and all have our frailties. We all make mistakes, and we all have our limitations. In the same lane and I wish my parents hadn’t instilled this in me, as a kid, my Dad always said, don’t bitch , fix. In essence don’t complain , do something about it. Example; when we used to gripe that the only TV in Hazzard was from the restrictive KMVT 11 then, it was the club, that got money together and erected that translator on Bell Rapids, to bring in the channels from Boise. When cable was merely a thing of our bigger cities like Twin falls and Jerome, it was the inventive bunch partly the Knytes, with some help from some undergraduates, Karl Upiono and a few others that built a small dish, with some rework on cable scramblers that created a thing called PrimeStar that became Dish Network. But we really never got credit for that, all too bad, but we made a difference. This is what the Knytes do. Find problems and put the bur under the saddle of community leaders to solve infrastructure problems.

The Knytes are not just a bunch of over sexed, radical rebels, on two, four and six wheels, or flying vintage warbirds. We use what simple means we have to help the communities we live in, and maybe yes in the eye of TV , we like good TV too, as long as it does not cost the price of a tank of fuel. If you’re a working person, you have a choice, buy gas to go to work, or pay for the cable bill. This is why Southern Steele Tech was created, that gave birth in 1998 to Confederate Star Media, that goes to Confederate Star TV, and is the parent of both HazzardAyre and WyldAyre Radio. We are constantly urging and prompting the people of RFDTV to join forces but those talks are mildly warm. I couldn’t even watch the Super Bowl , why? I can’t afford cable TV. Without cable, no other TV except KCTF 45. Too bad. But what about the rest of you? This opens a door. How about a OTA(Over The Air) TV channel, that can bring modern mixed urban and rural programming, of cable quality. That’s the goal of Confederate Star TV.

Yesterday, and I saw a few clips of it, of an ad on the Super Bowl, done by Ram(Dodge) Trucks, saluting the farmer. The Kountry way of life the way we lived and live is to be treasured, not dismissed. The roots of the Knytes is in rural America, and yes rural Magic Valley Idaho.

So to those many people that love to give the middle finger to the Knytes, and those that balk at the Dukes-of-Hazzard, Both were born on the thresholds of rural America, and its rural America that we work for.

Both the Knytes and The Dukes-of-Hazzard may not be on TV right now, but both of us are not going anywhere. And maybe somebody at Cable One will decide that having us as a partner is not as bad as having us as an advisory. More over maybe Cable-One could look past , past due bills, and put cable back into the studio of HazzardAyre, as a help, so we can help the valley.

Nope Monday in Hazzard County, but then I’d not want to be anywhere else than Hazzard. Although for my own company survival I may have to.

That in Tuesday’s edition.

Even when the show ends the work don’t stop

Even when I go off air the studio work continues. From researching material for the next show, to writing copy, to screening music to editing tape, and playlists it’s a constant rumble. I’m lucky if I see my bed by 07:00 hours. Even then I have to wake out of a solid sleep to swap tapes, or correct a computer glitch, Hey it happens.

The trouble I’m looking at directly in the nose is trying to do this when we lay the last ounce of carpet and all at the Buhl studio. How do I keep track of it all from the house in Twin? I know hire someone. Right? Nope tried that. Only one stepped forward and is staying in step, but she lives in Filer and has childrens. How about someone that’s preferably female stepping up and going to work at the new studio. If nothing else as the stations tender. I would say baby sitter, but its more to make sure all is running okay, late at night or in an emergency. Why a woman? To deal with the 3 women that will be on air RIO’s or second seats or co-anchors, depending on how you want to label it. The fact that women deal with other women better than some guy or the rest of our male crew who are more ruff around the edges more so than even I. If I spook some of these women who have applied , can you imagine some of the club showing up in club vests or cuts as we call em? Plus having a gal to recruit other feminitiles to enter the Wolf’s Den there to do radio or photo shots for promo projects.

October is a distance away, but we as a club , need to have our game on long before then, or no new FCC tag, and we’ll loose it all.

Picked a new spot for the Western version of the infamous Boars Nest, near OUR Hazzard, Idaho.

Watch here for deets.

So in summary why don’t I give up and sell out? If a 14 year old girl in the desert of New Mexico, can create and run a station and syndicated show, likewise if a blind man in a wheel chair can create a station , then we damn well can take HazzardAyre radio to the altitude we need it to be and what our public demands.

Talking of sleep,

Why not do my own operation?

There’s certain times one scratches your brain and thinks, why am I being so loyal or trusting? When in fact your gut tells you, this ain’t right.

While I’ll be friend and all to Big C, I am at a point of thought of, hey why not build up my own toew service again? Either Dixie as original, or do something exotic like Highway Hooker, Toewing as I started with and retaining , Hazzard County Choppers as my personal vocational link between me and Hazzard County and the Knytes.

I was fearful of a bunch of this, and looking back on things, when Big c, said move or come get your stuff, the smart move would have been to go fetch my stuff already here and move it back. Can’t unfix, but prior attitudes and practices reoccur.

So I thought bullshit, why should I go down to Big C’s shop, and clean shitters, just for gas? Be treated less than human and be treated like a third world citizen? Sorry, I served this nation in the Marines and I’ll be damned if I’m stooping low. No way.

So the procedure is A, find new payee, find new housing, move truck and me, go from there. In amongst look at doing my own gig, in a toew rig.

Then there is this PSR guy I got. From the get go, I said leave me alone in Bliss. What happens, I move from there to Buhl, and everything collapsed from there. Not all at once but degraded over time. Course of action, lets get back to me in Bliss, radio gig in Buhl, and try to slowly reverse this. By air school, time keep the radio station of course, put Lexi in storage and me and LiL Lexi goes to Utah, to air school time, use an office for a place to crash. Look over the territory then engage full relocal, then, but not until.

In the intrum its new bean counter, new residence, radio station, revive Highway Hooker Toewing, then HCC then air school, then go from there.

Between chemicals that shut off my air, to other elements, like 08:00 on site time, nope not this fly guy. Give me 10:00 , followed by my own schedule. Sure air school will be regulated but hey that’s different. But a can of chew, and two tanks of gas, is not enough to kill myself for.

Okay then two pressures off my brain and drained. Now to radio full bore.

That in my next entry.

If I flat didn’t and just did it

Here it is another Tuesday headed into, Wednesday morning, one pin up says she’s in, another who I was depending on, is silently saying unless I read it wrong is leaving the Pack. Guess some can’t wait forever, but it was her that was getting the main spot in the pack, instead of a beta, she was pegged for an Alpha, oh well.

By now many of you have gathered my eyes are on exiting Idaho, but there’s a helluvalot of stuff that needs done long before I exit.

First there’s taking command of KDXB FM, then there all the already contracted photo sessions. On a personal level there is fixing up LexiBelle, getting LiL Lexi in shape for the move. Beyond that its pay bills, find a place to live down there then move not until. I’ll have to get in touch with Upper Limit to see about a later enrolment date and departure date.

On the radio gig, with all the yes I’ll do it, then the I don’t know’s I got to thinking, hey just shut up here , do it anyway, then let em find it on their own and step back in. Make them show us they really want it, not us beg for it. It’s just plain stupid. I always see those on TV model searches, that’s on Bravo, and E. Guess what? They ain’t coming to Idaho, if they are ain’t Twin Falls. If they do send out a talent scout it’s a chick doing the scouting or one tremendous queer guy.

Steve one of my crew said something at dinner Tuesday, he asked me, “ would you even know if a gal is hitting on you?” Answer? Probably not. Hell its been so damn long that someone showed any sincere feeling for me that unless she really threw herself at me, I’d have no clue. I can cast talent radio, pin-up’s but make a date or a get to know someone on a personal level, I’m still looking for the operational handbook.

But in closing I wondered, if I in fact went ahead with the radio gig and just kept quiet about it, then after a month or two after its running, and the same applicants who were all so iffy, came back around? Could be interested.

Like I said one Pin up says she’s in(we see), Sylver sounds shaky and me I’m just now getting over this damn flu.

Content, information and models

As old as the web itself most who build a web page or site know that the information on that site had better be current, to the point as possible, but incite some sort reaction to engage the mind. Beyond that there had best be some serious eye candy or your reader is going elsewhere.

Granted religious orders and simple news sites have drifted away from the eye candy thing, if you’re a site that is aimed at guys who love something with an engine and knows what to do with it, forgetting the eye candy is like forgetting the crankshaft, yes its there, but it ain’t going anywhere.

If your looking to putting up a website that folks might stare at for many hours such as the the cover to a streaming radio station’s site like HazzardAyre’ you had better do a bunch of art work, and harvest as much feminine eye candy as you can.

Depending on your location that’s both easy and difficult. Big city with modeling and talent agencies where your eye candy is as easy to get as ordering a pizza, is easy. You set up time with a truck, aircraft etc, call the agency, and you have the gig in the can, printed ready to be put on the website. However if your in rural Idaho, like I am, finding that feminine eye candy, comes with more trouble than a centipede trying to walk through a muddy garden in tennis shoes. It is a chore.

First you get your name hammered like a 10 pound spike going into a railroad track joint. Then if you somehow make it past that, and that’s a big if, you get the cops called, where it’s a 80 question session, then after that completely frustrated, you end up calling an agency from Utah or Boise or elsewhere, pay $1,000.00 travel, per on camera wages and all, then you have something you can put on the website.

But once ya’ll get past that the site better deliver daily. Something I try hard as hell, to do. I blog and write every single day sometimes 3 or 5 times a day.

Now the reason I send copies of the blogs to the potential talent like I do, is not to piss them off or get em tyred of us, ,its to educate and inform them of just who it is they are working for, and our expectations of them.

Much of the time we don’t just have our talent pose and do stills, what we also have em do, is do voice overs, and attempt to act so they can tell folks on TV how damn great we are and why they ought to go to our website to see us and tune into the radio shows. Its called a TV ad.

I saw an article in Overdrive , overnight about how music makes driving better. Great something with some grit to it, went there, not much more than a paragraph. Made me wonder why I went there.

Guess one has to be a paid subscriber to read the whole damn thing.

I hate bait & switch.

As I close, saw that the Sam Jones was in fact real, okay , but I’m still being very guarded here. To which I say to her, want to impress? Deliver the resume and portfolio to the house. Kind of a show albeit limited , but trust. I sent her a IM from Facebook with the address, if nothing else she could put it in the mailbox.

Now as I close, I understand that the big spook of any female coming into the strange lair of a lone wolf like myself, might be enhanced by requests, like asking someone to show me her toes in nylon hose, or the feature bit of smooching those toes to get a point across using a strong play on the words toe and tow and things from phoote(foot) notes etc, okay that might tend to make a gal nervous, but shyt, in my thoughts if I can stand the stench they should be willing to offer up a foot. But then I think like a guy.

Nobody asked someone to go to bed with them, nobody asked to get hinky or kinky, but yea I might could see where that kind of thing might get someone nervous, but I’ve seen much worse at studio and film auditions, and a hell of a lot worse on Americas Next Top Model. Its still a standard, but I’m usually waiting until I know some talent better to deploy or make such a request.

Guess , these days, Prince Charming would have to have the ring on Cinderella’s finger before he  to see if the glass slipper fit her foot.

Like I said, much has to happen between now and April 1st , or May 1st, me, and much of what is here that is connected to the club, is outta here, with a gift, of the sale of our license for the radio station in Buhl, and I head to Utah, with Idaho being at that point, nothing but a nightmare. And I can tell you this, once I go, this time. I don’t care, ain’t never ever coming back.

Any way, heavy head, need sleep, hope I feel good enough to go to work in the morning.

L8R ya’ll

Test day at the hospital

Well it started, all day at the hospital. First blood tests, followed by making me drink some stuff that’s like a cup of chalk and MaaLox , that makes you shyt like a goose before Christmas. So after that they stick this stick with a camera up your butt and inflate this bladder thing, then you go back to pooping.

By 15:45 they figured I was okay, and Sgt Kuhn drove me home and here I sit with a raw butt.

Next thing they’re going to do is a colonoscopy . Yea fun.

Guess the Samantha Jones was real, sorry about that but with what the clubs been through one can understand us being jumpy. Hey its our turn to be suspicious.

Someone to good to be true , usually is.

Hope to see the package and meet the gal soon. Sam, drop by the house and say hi any time.

Watched Crook And Chase on TV , or at least a very long ago version of that show. Why doesn’t RFDTV Family Net run a more modern version or produce a new show. Oh could it be your hurting RFDTV? With CoX Cable yanking you from their line up, oops. Might be willing to talk to us at Confederate Star now huh?

If Confederate Star owned RFDTV, first thing that’d go, is Crook And Chase, didn’t like em on TNN , don’t like em now. Then I’d dump, that Mollie B. Not that Mollie B is not hot, looking and all, just need to give her some different music and music style, not Polka. That Lawrence Welk stuff, for old people to drink Geritol over, no give Mollie B some hot kountry band as a back up and watch a hot fresh voice come to Nashville.

Any way , I took a bunch of medicine, that’s got me rung out like a wash rag, so I’m headed for the rack.

See ya’ll L8R,
