Finally back on HazzardAyre

Finally getting back online. So what did we learn in the short hiatus?

One, innocence is only skin deep and surface candy, underneath ya’ll might find a scorpion. Example, and don’t know for sure , but information I got is that our darling from Filer that said she was so into the HazzardAyre Radio project was really a snoop for Big C’s better half. Seems what I sent our Angel, was then being resent to Jenn. Oh really? Looking back I should have just said send in the fuzz, there’s all too many ways of proving all, so what the hay? There are people who are not 40 plus years residents of our valley, who have little to no idea of the Knytes. Too bad, but too, the Knytes wrote all too many books on valley progress and brought much of it about. So what goes on?

The Knytes are kicking in gear another talent search, after all still need some eye candy for the web site, as well as occasional on air sidekick fill in. However even if I had a hankering to hire more, I’d no more hire just what is needed to cover 2 on air shifts and sales people. Outside of that we hire within the club, not outside of it.

Okay then, got an email from Sonny Shroyers publicist. Which is cool, in its origin. The question was why all things Hazzard encapsulated me as it did and remains so. For me DOH, brought to me a sense of family. The stars on that show considered their fans as family or at least close friends. Not just viewers. The Dukes cast always answered fan mail, much of the time themselves, not some staffer who sent out form letters and an 8X10 glossy.

Now looking back unlike many would have and only one other show has done this. But when I called on the phone Warner Brothers in 1979, and asked about the legalities of us doing up things in real life aka The Hazzard County Garage etc, they could have been smug, but instead both Paul Picard and Gy thought why not no pay publicity. But it did not stop there. Although Gy didn’t Paul Picard among some other cast members ventured to little Hagerman that had long ago been renamed Hazard, since we brought focus on our town with our shop and of course the General Lee, that giving Hagerman the nick name Hazzard was only fitting. The nick name remains today. Unfortunately while I was in the Marines through Desert Storm and Shield, my General Lee, was sold by a zealous greedy tow jock in Pocatello. Although $400.00 would have bailed my General out, nope. Later the jerk who bought it had it crushed. Crushed mind you, how on earth does somebody do that. Must be a Yankee. Can’t trust no northern yankee no how. Again as the script read, when your tripping tall cotton, watch for snakes.

The only other TV show producer that allowed us as a club some leeway is Kurt Sutter aka Sutter Ink, aka SOA. That story in another entry.

I’m finding my new connection still shakey at least at night but we see what goes with a stick on the roof.

Then go to Cable One to pay my old bill, sign by the front door says, “ Payments Accepted Here” So went to pay, guess what? Another falsehood on Cable One, the sign should read, payments with credit card or money order, no cash accepted here. About as accurate as Cable One providing 50 meg Internet. Signed up with SpeedConnect, and couldn’t be happier except download speeds at night, it runs good.

Oh and for those that ask, what about our General? I’m looking for a body, 69 or 70 Charger, the engine and tranny I had in my Gen Lee, I still have, and once transplanted, means serious kickass. Nuff said.

Speaking of Gen Lee’s, did you hear, Mirinda over there in Gooding the gal who shrugged the Knytes, is going to be running an orange ride with our battle flag at MVR this Summer. Funny she didn’t anything to do with the club, but loves the accessories and riding our shirt tail. Same as all too many that slid off the side during our on air radio talent fox hunt. You can bet that in a month or so when that 250k signal is blowing the doors off of just about all stations and radios here, with true confederate Dukes of Hazzard and southern radio, those same seatcovers will be banging at the door wanting a second and or third chance, know what, too bad so sad.

I’m learning from going to Church again that Jesus said to forgive all. I do, but like Jesus, their names are etched in my book and I ain’t forgetting.

Last, over the last few months been juggling the idea of swapping out Dixie Toewing. Well I have decided to leave well enuff alone. The Hazzard County Garage will be coming alive just up the street from A1 Automotive here, on 5th along with Dixie Toewing. While in the short haul I’ll be doing up things in and with Big C and A1, I’m also busting hump to bring back together in its glory, the oldest single owned by the same person towing and hot rod shop in the Magic Valley. Perhaps Idaho.

No as I close, it really piss’ off some women when you call their bluff. Example, gal named Hilliary , works at Anchors here. For months been courting her on being a feature on the 2014 Hazzard County Calendar. She’s only been teasing as I knew she was. But here’s the question, I know they make great tips and all, but a cocktail server, in hot shorts and not so fashionable boots strutting sounds safe, in front of oddly enuff horny cowguys and so on , yet are too embarrassed to wear similar on a closed set to photograph with hot rods and or a truck or two, and go home with a grand in her pocket. Am I missing something here?

Again for those that ask , just go to an agency. Hell I’d like too. I’d like nothing better than to call up a central phone number, cast the deal, and have it paid, shot in the can as they say done. Unfortunately there is no such resource here so gotta do it the old fashioned risky way, just ask the who that may be.

More Saturday, join me at Church at The River. In Twin Falls.

Leaving here going elsewhere for awhile

Just thought you needed to know, I’ll be drifting off to work up another blog page for the club.

Find us on www.hazzardjournal.blogspot.com , when there’s something to report on HazzardAyre Radio it’ll be here, the rest of our clubs skuttlebutt will be on Hazzard Journal.

Keep it tween the ditches.

Don’t web advertisers review who they send spam to?

Those with intelligence need not apply. Must be the keywords of those posting spam and ad’s on the various free email accounts I use. Example, our club’s email addy, knytesofanarchy@yahoo.com must be seen as a person rather than the email of a hot rod, biker, warbird enthusiasts organization. So I’ll get tons of stuff, from advertisers asking questions that would be posed to a person rather than a club, or organization. Same goes for the flash ups I get on Facebook. Most are aimed at me desiring me to subscribe to some online fox hunt or dating site. Really? I ain’t interested. Many of those are just teasers, nobody that looks like those gals on there really are having problems finding male companionship, quite the opposite. Many are getting boned at minimum of 8 times a day, and usually have someone at home by the name of Bubba. In words of the Ace, If the chassis is classy , someone’s keeping it happy. Then I’ll get someone pitching other things usually with a super hottie, as the front or face on the ad.

I’ve learned not to click on those , they usually have an adware or other similar harmware program attached to them. Trouble is one can’t always report these to Facebook, and all of them even as well off as they are, beit, Facebook, Yahoo, or even Google, are hungry for dollars from advertisers, and so they take no time to screen advertisers for authenticity, or being what they say they are, or that its not a front from some damn hacker somewhere. Question is the intelligence quota of any of these firms must be the least of the criteria for hiring. It’d be as if we here at HazzardAyre hired just anyone without our long term prospective trial period. Anyone could get on air that had no allegiance to anything Hazzard , SAMCRO , or warbirds. That will not happen with us, but why don’t these bigger deep pocket companies do that?

Speaking of HazzardAyre, and I’d like to thank the many of you doing the tuning in, as ya’ll have made us proud. Got word yesterday that HazzardAyre Radio took the number one place of overnight on air ratings in both Nielsen and Arbitron, in 8 western states, not too bad for a show that is purely a syndicated satellite fed show. Figure out what happens once we go live over the air come October, on our renewed station license and our own station based out of both Buhl, Idaho, and Wendover Utah.

Again thank you to our fans. According to the ratings 411, 15,million of you tune in nightly and 28,million of you tune in at least once a week. Again thank you.

If that’s good for us , which it is, wait until we go to TV as well as OTA, radio here and still in syndication.

Any flyte, big day Wednesday, catch you in the PM Wed, here on the pages of HazzardAyre.

Do women's feet stink?

The answer to the question of , Do Women’s feet stink? is , it depends on whose sniffing.

If its another woman sniffing yes they’ll stink, like a guy smelling another guy in the gym locker room, you stink to other guys. Why? It’s a mating thing.

Women when they perspire give off pheromones, that tell the male that the particular woman wants to mate. It’s the same thing that our 4 legged Wolf friends give off when a beta female wolf is in heat. The scent is to tell the male, need to have off spring.

Unlike our wyld wolf counterparts, the human female gives off scents that says hey baby I want a baby. Unlike our wyld wolf friends, human females are a bit more picky.

Much of that comes in the form of at least first look, of does the guy have means? Is he endowed with money. You can be an average looking guy, but look like you have money women swarm all over you.

I have an associate, named Jared. He is not by any measure a good looking guy, but through his Dad, has fancy tow trucks, and on the surface money. As a result a great looking wife. Take away the big ass’d tow service , he’d have as much a chance of scoring a super hottie as I do now. In the same lane, I used to not have any trouble, getting babes. Why? Mom & Dad and our big farm operation near Hazzard. In essence we had money. Thought of women in the area, be good to me, you get a great pay day. I’d loose many as fast when they found out, that the very reason the Trusteeship was created was to prevent just that, me being outsmarted by a pair of hot legs and long eye lashes, and loose the estate. I can remember not too long after Mom passed away. Dad was gone 4 years prior. All of a sudden there was a swarm of women teasing the old Wolf here. Thankfully, besides the Trustee , there was Ricky and Allan , as well as the club. One damaging gal, by the name of Sophia Rice was the worst. She nearly got past the front gate into the house, thankfully, Ricky got her out.

So to answer the front line question do women’s feet stink? Depends on whose doing the sniffing, and for the record , despite popular belief, toes in nylon hose smell better simply because the folks who make nylons, put in scent cells in the fabric that remove odor, and release a bit of a pleasant scent, that resembles cinnamon.

More after the show.

A burning question that needs answered in the cold of night.

There are hours upon hours I get strange calls from other parts of the Union, from listeners and interested prospective members of the Knytes.

One of those came just a short while ago so I’ll put this out as best as I can.

I would be lying if I said the club was what it was when it started. It isn’t. While nobody has declined to continue their membership, and all there are those many that have distanced themselves, none the same. Either by geographically distance or fear of the club being able to stay glued together.

Most if not all the club has began to swing towards the Winged Warriors and our mission there. The fact that 70% of our current membership is military and as a result in the air flying for defense of our nation in Marine or Naval Aviation, makes the swing towards the Winged Warriors logical. But that said, to forgo what we started with is lost is not realistic. Of the founding 10 that met on that night in Hagerman at the Polish Palace only 5 remain in the Magic Valley. Of those only 3 remain in a station of life to render service to the club. The rest have, wives, children and jobs and business’s of their own and just do not have time to give proper service to the club that they once did. But are faithful to the club should the need arise. I remain as active as I was, because although never given the authority or ability, to being President, I was the one who was at the building of the foundation and became part of the glue that has held the club together , through many years that the club could have broken up all together.

That burning question of is the club still solid and should someone still want to be a member, I say and I might be biased is hell yes. The fact that the current pendulum has swung towards more things ayrecraft rather than our traditional big rig OTR trucks and muscle cars and trucks, might be of concern, thing is we all yearn for fast trick trucks and big block American V-8 rides, the fact that we in some cases would rather take that horsepower to 30,000 feet, on wings is a question every member needs to ask itself.

The fact that the Dukes-of-Hazzard will always be a center focus of what we are is one thing, the fact that there has been made room for Airwolf and the BlackSheep is another.

To answer that burning question, should someone with a Hazzard heart and a hot rod under their britches join the club, I say yes, by all means. But be sure you want to be in the club, do it because you want to be of service to the club, and the communities the club is in as well as your own, and should you gain enough member prospects in a given area, consider setting up a charter of your own. Knowing that the current officers can vote for or against that charter. Voting membership comes only after satisfactory service to the club, swearing in, including the blood oath ceremony, and by obedience to club rules. By deeds not just lip service. Then and only then do you gain voting and full membership. That can take up to three years.

Any mile hope that answers the question.

Now then I must answer this too.

The reason for the urgency of HazzardAyre Radio to go full power, and all is so that many who have fallen off the beaten path or have allowed their membership to become complacent, is this. There are just too many members who don’t know the club is still here, even in the Magic Valley. Considering outside of those in Military service still deployed just have not kept up knowing or knowing where to read what it is I hammer out here every day.

Example; It wasn’t until 2010, two years after I had arrived back in the area, that I made contact with a founding member. I thought he was still in the big house on Gowen field in Boise. Same goes for one I thought still pushing 18 wheels that lived in Bliss even when I lived there. One moved to Nevada, who nobody knows location of, and it’d be hard to get him to return to the valley. Heck many thought I’d died. It wasn’t until I started writing for Monkey Bizzness, that became the Hazzard Gazzette and now HazzardAyre, that anyone knew the club still had a charter here. Most figured the club was transplanted to Utah, and eastern Idaho. As far as Magic Valley Idaho, the club was a mere shadow. I caught wind of a funding source that I’m investigating, but we need to do more. Current thoughts being, keep the studio/office in Buhl, but while I go to Flight School, create or recreate the radio net from Utah and in two years come back and resume here. Can’t say I’m not leaning that way strongly, depends on Sylver and a few willing to start jumping in now. Is HazzardAyre and our radio gig done here? No!! , but we might put it on hiatus and start the fire in Utah first where resources to do it are greater, the retransplant it back here.

Need rest see ya’ll in the PM Tuesday.

So how did the Highway Hooker become Cooter?

It was 1981, Salt Lake City AutoRama, after months of 25 hour days getting our General Lee together to go to that illustrious custom show, of which many thought was more real than the hollowed out one Hollywierd had brought, I was in our provided motel room, thinking one night. Neither myself nor Bro looked anything like Bo or Luke Duke, and although was a force to be reckoned with, Dukes we weren’t, but I did resemble Cooter (Ben Jones) of the show at least the image on TV. Both Cooter and I looked alike, drove a tow truck in a tiny farm town, built hot rods in a small farm town and in reality the General Lee was always parked at the shop, well together made the real honest to goodness Hazzard County Garage in Hazzard(Hagerman) Idaho, well , REAL. So I put the Highway Hooker label away on a back shelf, took on the handle of Dixie Toewing coupled with the Hazzard County Garage, and that was the foundation for the creation of the Hazzard County Knytes, that today hails as the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

The club changed names in 2008, as many of the members wanted to lift the club out of so much rural, into more urban/rural. Which I and a few others thought was dumb , but hey we were the minority of the club. The majority ruled and change was made.

After that the similarities between us and the Sons of Anarchy came. We stated in numerous blog entries and media blasts, that we were more OTR truckers than bikers, but like bikers, loved an open road, few Smokies(cops) and good fast food. Most liked hotter women , and so on.

But then a thing happened, the real, SAMCRO MC contacted me, from reading the blogs, we made a agreement, and HCC and a small part of the Knytes became part of SAMCRO MC , and became the Idaho Charter, thereof. In exchange we got some financial help which we needed and still enjoy.

However we have not forgotten our Hazzard roots, nor gave up on what we are truly about.

So to answer , where , or how I became Cooter of Idaho. Now you know.

In light of that however I must say, that as of this year I gave up that title. Ben Jones deserves that handle and I give that up, but not my love for all things Hazzard. I will carry two, namesakes, AyreWolf and Highway Hooker. But Dixie Toewing and the Hazzard County Garage still are alive.

Bed time, more again in the PM, but this was a question asked on the radio show Monday night so I thought I’d tell you.

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.
