But where do they get these girls?

Must be different elsewhere than here in Hazzard.

Just got the latest offer from Stocking Girl, and the question remains where do they find these hotties?

I am also curious to find out who Trish D is on that ad for that Forever Comfy seat pillow. She’s hot, but where do they hire these gals from?

As it is, I’d fly gals in just to do the promo work for the ultimate Hazzard Nationals here in Idaho, as well as the Fly In for 2015 a reunion of sorts of the infamous VMA214 BlackSheep as well as being the super AyreShow that’ll be. So if any of you web crawler trolls out there, know the source of these talents let me know.

So I woke up just to check out the running dates of the old Crook & Chase show. That’s now ran on RFDTV. Hey they couldn’t get a real day talk show although we pitched on to them, so they get one that I’ll bet costs a bundle yet is near 25 years old. But to get to my destination for 411, on the subject, had to wade through some dumb update of my Adobe FlashPlayer.

Which meant I had to uninstall then go about the research.

So to those other web trolls, know this, If I don’t recognize you or your product I ain’t installing.

So in closing, where does Stockinggirl get those hotties>>and my ultimate favorite>>> I’ll hire em .

Just a maniac Monday.

I don’t do Monday's, as Monday’s are the only damn day of the week I get to sleep until noon, or so I thought.

So First I’m really pounding zz’s, dreaming of me and Emma Leigh at the Grammy’s, me getting the top radio announcer award, and her taking the top award for best artist of the year, and I get this beating on the door, from the mail delivery person. And what’s in it? My DJ/kit from Emma, a nice pic with an autograph. Which was good, but I was hoping for at least a cd, oh well. Still haven't gotten that one from Pat Burr, guess you find who wants to be a friend or not.

So then get some raisin bran, yes two scoops, watch the morning news from RFDTV, hey if you miss it in the morning no problem they just repeat the same newscast 4 times a day, so you don’t miss much.

So then realize no TP, this is serious, and since I don’t have any leaves to wipe with like I did in the Solomons, I did a bee hive drive to Smiths(Krogers) for their $.88 4 roll pack, and getalong back here to the Wolf’s Lair.

Now here’s a couple of thoughts, first don’t eat raisin bran without TP, as the real end result is not a happy one, and two be careful of what you dream of , that was spooky. Here I’m dreaming of her and I get the DJ pack. Now before ya’ll go having a bubble attack on this, its not some old wolf having thoughts of a mid aged urging.

Emma has the voice and the intelligence I have not seen in any performer of any genre for decades. She can hit note for note right on the last intonation. She sings like someone 4 times her age and with conviction, and that Grammy? I’ll bet she has one in a year or two. I’d even bet my next aircheck, that she’ll have a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame before long, she’s that good. If HazzardAyre can help that happen I’m there. At least her and her agent does what they say they’ll do, I asked for a call during Emmathon, got it. I asked for a fan pic, I got it. If the rest of that Virginia Dreams Centerstage bunch would send out and do what they promise I might be as hip on them as well. Like HazzardAyre, Emma delivers.

Now then didn’t feel like hearing from Big C, so did not go over to A1, but talked to a former associate of Big C, last night and a friend from Gooding. Seems old Don from Western Towing there is looking to expand and refire, so am entertaining that, however in all cases, its refine the radio gig for ultimate fire for October, build Dixie Toewing for my own refire come February if not before, find a SSI Trustee/Payee or get it in my own hot hands, find a place over near Hazzard Idaho, and get my butt moved.

Just about everything else I’ll worry about later,

Still working on the graphics for our bikini bike. Biggest problem is getting a blonde with free flowing hair in a spiral perm, to pose for the bike. Without letting out the idea and concept I need the graphic to lay out the tubing and build the frame. Watch for the scoot at Daytona Bike Week next year.

Last weekend was the Magic Valley Hot Rod Show, like many years past didn’t have an entry. Not because of Lazy, but more, this show here is just not the show it was when the Early Iron Club here put it on. But dig this, and you knew this was coming, do you realize that the first Hazzard Nationals we held at the Hazzard City Park, was before the first Early Iron Magic Valley Rod & Custom Show? Our member in Bliss explained that to me the other day, kinda makes me feel older than the 54 years I turned this past weekend.

I totaled up what it’ll cost me to replace the equipment some crack addicts had to steal from Big C’s place down here on 5th Ave off of LexiBelle. $200.00 no big whoop, but enough.

Like I said, just another Maniac Monday.

Now gotta go, that Raisin bran is calling.

L8R Ya’ll

More than the stinky

You might as well call this the toew blog and why I spell it that way in a moment as it was mentioned in the show.

These are >>>toes.  This is a>>tow truck. Somewhere in the mythology translation the pronunciation of the two words became the same, yet are remarkably different.

Back in the late 1980’s The Knytes through our parent organization the Road Commanders Association, cranked up a tiny, albeit at first pirate or outlaw radio station to serve those going towing.

KTOW was the chosen call letters. Legendary radio personality Bill Mack of WBAP Fort Worth , did some radio promos aka liners for us introducing us as the ONLY station running the Overdrive Top Ten Countdown, and Overdrive Truckers News. Problem was Bill kept pronouncing TOW as

Cow or rhymed it with>> So a public image builder began. I had no idea that it would cause so much of a fuss.

The idea was at the end of my TV ads I would do a romantic kiss of the toe of a very classy dressed gal, like the Prince putting the slipper on Cinderella. Trouble is some area TV stations had trouble with that.

Of course I sort of can understand why.

Long before I went cold turkey Hazzard and all the handle I used to light the candle of the toew service was >> why that name? Okay this is a >>>Hooker or what some traditionally call a Hooker. However truckers on the CB called this>>> 

a hooker. So not having luck with the media, thought was, do up a name nobody could forget and yet did not need a lot of advertising. Of course the name can get some religious types really nervous as I found in CokeVille Wyoming. 504 people, 4 not LDS(Mormon) 500 Mormon. So there was a change and I’ll fill ya’ll in on that another time.

So any mile, thought went back to the as we call it toew smooch, but finding someone with really tiny toes that didn’t look like those scuba diving flippers was a real task. Nobody was able to go out and do the talent scouting, or was willing to, and many TV station execs around here thought I was a real goof ball. Hey it was a gig for a simple purpose, get people to call the radio station like it was spelled, and two boost my companies awareness and what we did.

Several years later during what I call my own reconstruction after being bit by the Hazzard fever, and still have that, the idea last October was to do that up again in Hazzard style. A daisy Duke lookalike contest at the mall here, find the best . But here’s a pot calling the kettle black. Local TV exec of KMVT, said no way, something to do with exploiting women. Yet not one month after since KMVT also swallowed up the local CW(that stands for CBS/Warner Brothers-in case ya’ll didn’t know) Did up a local talent gig for Americas Next Top Model. That’s one of many times, and reasons some local media types here flat don’t like me, or the Knytes. One went so far as calling sweet Daisy inappropriate for younger viewers and indecent. Daisy indecent? Who could or would say that, but I fought but tragically lost that battle. Its just one reason we refired up our radio operation, and are looking into TV.

So no matter who tells you different, that’s why the media credit on the Knytes, and/or Dixie Toewing, the REAL, Hazzard County Garage etc is poor.

Amazing folks don’t look beyond their small noses.

But its why I became a sort of observer and coneesuer of female toes. The mashing together of the words TOW and TOE came from my dear intern Emme Lee, she was getting ready to do her show at our station in Gooding in 2009, and said why not just put the words together, that’d be an eye opener. I did and so it went.

Anyway time for sleep.

The sayin is, Dixie will rise again. Thing is it already is.

There is that sayin that goes Dixie and the South will rise again. thing is, I never thought our southern culture ever quit rising. Sure it may have taken a few detours but never stopped refining itself and becoming the infinite power under or more importantly with God, that we were and are.

But we are talking another Dixie on the rise.

Over the last few months in an attempt to maybe distance myself from things Dukes, I was looking for avenues and trade names that could serve yet not put me right in the middle of Duke idolatry. I’m not talking Hazzard County as I think if one were to really look at it, the problem in the two or three of the final years of the shows run is it was all Dukes, not enough of Hazzard. Four Dukes does not make a county, what about the rest of the populous? In so doing however I’ve been thinking I am going against promises I made to many people three that were on or really near their death bed. Paul Picard, Denver Pyle, Boss Hogg, and of course Waylon. That I would continue as hard as I could to preserve the vision that they saw once in the show. Trouble is way too many saw only dollar signs, not preservation of southern rural culture, or the story lines and life lessons that are DOH.

So as such and there is some degree of self preservation here but I have decided to pour on the coal of Dixie Toewing>>>. Once more and reinvigorate the power that is Hazzard,for me to do otherwise in my view would be blaspheme.

I could not go a day without those warriors in the war of invasion of the north screaming in my ears, nor thinking of the blood that was spilled on grounds where graves stand to no name unknown.

This to me is Hazzard, this to me requires reverence and again preservation.

If one was to come north here, in any major community where there is a TV station or other radio station in Idaho, Utah , western Wyoming or eastern Oregon or Washington state, mention the words Dukes of Hazzard, Hazzard County, or the Knytes, first a pin will drop of the resounding silence, second if your not shown the door, faster than Boss Hogg eating raw liver, you’ll get a blank stare, but most importantly, my name will be brought up more times than the Dukes changing tires during an Enos against General Lee chase . Bottom line I am Hazzard County. I live Hazzard County, and over the years never was a time that I ever asked for any money to cover the costs of travel, lodging, or even the studio saying , okay you’ve bought $5,000.00 a month in ad time just to keep the show on in syndication. I did, and felt proud to do so. Hey it was my duty. But I’m looking to taking Hazzard further. It’s not that I haven’t rolled this way in years prior.

During those years that DOH was really dark, it was me , rolling out the Dixie Diesel Shop, the first performance truck shop built on the image of what Cooter would do with a Peterbilt. It was me that out of the Dixie Diesel Shop, created Dixie Diesel Radio, the only over the road truckers show done Hazzard style.

So for me to put on the rear shelf Dixie Toewing and Hazzard County Choppers now would be like cutting out my heart, I just can’t do it.

Now before I go, need to roll this out to Sonny, aka Enos, of Hazzard.

All the time that CMT, ran DOH, I found it a bit selfish on CMT’s behalf, that the other Dukes based series was not ran.

Although suggested through multiple runs, when Enos, got the job in Los Angeles, there was the Series Enos. Why was not that ran as a companion show? Although it was short lived, might have filled in some gaps as far as time lines. In my opinion, the Character Sonny, played was not allowed to mature to its full potential.

Something we here in the Knytes look to cure in the pilot in development called; Confederate Steele.

More on that on Monday, but work calls, and Big C will about 09:00 if I’m not on station at A1 , but there’s some serious discussions that are soon coming Monday.

Now for a few of you, some Confederate trivia. Do you know where the phrase, keep your powder dry came from?

It’s a phrase right out of that great war. See back then, most soldiers used powder muskets, you’d pour gun powder down the barrel, tamp it down, then your steel ball(or bullet) , if the gun powder was wet it wouldn’t fire. This keeping that powder dry was essential, hence, before bed when one could sleep, the commanders would say, sleep well, and keep your powder dry.

Talk about Enos being from the country

Back in 1985 just before the series ended I decided to go down with the transport truck that hauled down the cars and such that Paul Baxley would order for production.

Paul Baxley was the stunt head and did that for Star Trek and numerous other productions.

Any mile, instead of riding in the hauler, I decided to go down in my VW diesel Rabbit. That looked very much like a mini KW(Kenworth). So there I was all the way down, got to Las Vegas , I never had seen women dressed so skimpy in my life. I thought they must be real tired to be dressing to go to bed at this hour, or mighty free on morals. Turns out it was a lot more, hey I grew up, and got worldly smart, but then, I was stupid, as you’ll soon see.

So we got to San Bernadino, at the 76 Truck Stop there, I bought all kinds of stuff, then we got into Los Angeles. Now here in Twin of even Salt Lake City streets are just a few blocks apart. In Shakey city(cb nick name for Los Angeles due to earthquakes) those streets are several miles apart. So Bro and I were on Sunset Blvd. We drove all the way to the end, and came to a gate, now a paved street that comes to dirt and looks to go on, is not that uncommon, but apparently it does in California. As we were tooling around the beach, not understanding that the beach was where we were. I looked over at what looked like a bridge, but was a fishing pier. Bro looked at me and said, “As good as the General is, he ain’t making that jump, next stop, was Japan” So we turned around, some how ended up in Beverley Hills, on Rodeo drive. Ever try telling a Iranian who don’t speak English, inside a plastic box in a smaller AM/PM store that you need a can of Skoal? That mid eastern feller I had to draw a picture, and tried to point to it. I have an idea , for our Immigration department, before we let these terrorist students in the country and give em a job, lets teach em some of our habits, like chew. Its an idea.

Okay , so got done there, still trying to get to Burbank where WB Studios is. We got there, after looping the center divider that separates Glendale and Burbank from each other, It’s a thing that looks like a grave stone. It was dark, getting chill, I know imagine that even in Hollyweird, and someone hadn’t marked us down on the delivery sheet. Really? So I walked over to Paramount studios across the street, made a call to Mr. Picard, he called someone and we were in.

But understand to get there from that AM/PM, I drove by the CHP station that I saw on Chips, went in asked where Paunch and John were they damn near threw me in the holding pen, then saw the fire station just off Mulholland drive , that the Jack Webb series Emergency was shot, so a nice LACSO deputy, escorted , Bro and I, down I-5, to 101, and up Burbank drive. He left us after stopping at this industrial park across the street, next to some rail road tracks, you have seen the same trax, on SOA, Fast and Furious, and a few others.

So I was finally on set.

Even though many of the cast was on this new vacation called Hiatus, there was a few stunt fellers and crew around so we off loaded, the crew, myself John, and Mr. Picard, went to dinner.

Understand I’m in my trucker jeans, torn T, I look like a rodeo dude, but off to swanky Beverley Hills Holiday Inn, had dinner, Mr. Picard set us up in a room, and I found a McDonalds next door. What was great about this Holiday Inn, was if you got tired of the shades being open, you could flip a switch and they’d close like magic.

The next day took a drive around the studio, saw much, and learned more. then got something showed me that I’d never would think to look.

Mid season of the Dukes, until the studio masked it, if you look in the middle of the Duke Farm house, you’ll see a very small shaded square. That is nothing less than the Burbank water tank, in the background.

Of course there’s than General Lee that hung on the side of the wall going into the studio. Wonder how they kept that up there?

So in review that was my first trip to the set, I spent 80.00 in fuel, 250 in food, $30 in Skoal, hey that Iranian at the AM/PM charged me $10.00 for it, and by the time I got home, I wanted to load up and go back.

In the next year the show had been canned but my I wanted to go.

Events in Idaho and Georgia, if you thought all was in California, I have news for you.

Ya’ll come back now.

Butt do they know what your thinking?

So went down to snag a five spot from one of my pals, but not at home. He decided to go to Burley to get busy with one of his honeys. Found somebody had helped themselves to my tag lights and new chains and hooks off of LexiBelle, which means another $200.00 that I have to lay out for my truck. Is the need to breathe narcotics so great, in our world that people have to steal shit off of my truck? Tell ya’ll, truck gets mobile and gets parked next to my house, don’t care what Big C says, LexiBelle is not a carcass that every damn scavenger needs to pick off of. Just amazing, what the world truly needs is Hazzard County, more over going to church at the Church of Confederate Star. More over hang with the Knytes.

Okay so was there at another pals place checking out some feminitile skin, and I was wondering do they know, your checking them out? Can the sense that they just became prey?

I had these two in perfect sight, and was considering being flat broke until Wednesday, decided not to, and oh yes, you can bet your next tank of diesel that, I’m making up for my birthday Wednesday. You can also bet your next DOT inspection, that I’m going to be re-evaluating, those in the club, and supporters and asking where were you when a brother needed help? Were you around to bumb a bro a can of Skoal? How many times have I gave my all or some to you? When was that time I bought you smokes? How often have I asked for a can of chew? How many times have I asked for anything, but you ask me all the time. It’s getting to where I’m about to close the door on the Hazzard County Welfare Office.

In John it reads, If your neighbor is cold, give him your coat, if he needs water, let him drink, if he is hungry give him food. If he needs rest, give him your bed. In this case when someone that has represented, and served you for so long, needs to bumb Skoal, is $5.00 that hard on you?

Then there’s this A1 thing. Hey Big C signs my checks, but as far as the rest of it, its going to need some thinking on. For nobody except Ricky, a club member from old skool part of our group, but if Jared, Big C, anybody can’t even roll by and say here’s a ten spot, Happy Birthday, then maybe I need to look twice at why I’m even in Tweaker Flatts here.

Finally, club meeting Tuesday at 19:00 Wolf’s Lair, .

I’m beginning to ramble, I need sleep, yap at you here after dinner, and see you on the radio Sunday afternoon.

L8R Ya’ll

I think we have some peoples attention, Truth is stranger than fiction.

The image those have of the legendary Hazzard County, and the pilot that brought the Dukes together in 1978 is a long road. The original story came out in early 1975 , hell I just barely got my license. It showed a place, called Shiloh not Hazzard. Of course there was a Uncle Jessie, a Cooter and even Roscoe, described nearly word for word on the Dukes from script from the MoonRunners.

Kiel Martin played a crafty wheel man who could run shine, His name Bobby Lee. His race car was named Traveler not the General, and while a stock car was not as sweet and pretty.

MoonRunners came out about the time such action packed films as While Line Fever, Breaker Breaker, Vanishing Point. Only built as far as a plot, on running shine. The alternate script got picked up by legendary film actor Clint Eastwood, in making Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.

When you start marching down protected roads telling things that many would just as soon you not, there are people that get nervous.

I could tell a heap amount more of what I know, even contradict a thing Ben(Cooter) said in an interview, for the part of Cooter.

First in the MoonRunners , Cooter was a mob hit man, a part played by Ben Jones was a revenuer, not a part of the family , like Cooter was in the Dukes.

When Ben said something on this thing the cast of the Dukes did for CJMT, that he had to try out for the role of Cooter, try out my ass? He already knew Gy, and Paul Picard, what tryout? He already had the gig. He was about the only one that had the gig for sure. Many I thought was undercast, in other words some roles better than actors, some actors better than the roles.

When it comes to my own involvement, here it was luke warm at best, cars supplied by our shop up here, way after Gy and outdoorsman party had wasted some quail, saw our General Jackson. Bro was not my brother in the way ya’ll might think, in as blood , from the same mother. Bro and I got together, when Mom hired Bro to help me mow the frigging lawn, Hey it was a big lawn. That house of ours was nearly 30 years ahead of its time, an elevator, dumbwaiter, 3 rooms upstairs, a bar, my radio recording music room, and a garage that had a sprayed sparkle ceiling. Find that in your LA beach house. That house had a centralized vacuum system. All ya’ll needed was the wand and hose then plug it in the wall, the vacuum was down stairs in the fruit room. Three pressure tanks, and a full steam water circulating heating cooling environmental system. Wanna know why I get piss’d? Here’s one. Family friend Trustee Montgomery Foundation, comes to visit in May 1984. I’m sitting on the porch coffee, and wife beautiful day. I get told to move. Me? Move? Are your oars in the water? But I got forced out of MY home. Reason, a County assessor, another real estate partner in the same agency, and Trustee, buy property, to make an RV park. However over time the deal fell through. Here’s the meat of this pie. The property tax rates have a grand reduction or crash just prior to the sale of the house and the 50 acres where the house sat on. House sells for $100,000.00 no shit. Today, you couldn’t hardly by the nails in the steps for $100,000.00 . Reason for the sale? Greed. Could I sue, yes but not now, its called the statute of limitations. $500,000.00 is what the house and surrounding land goes for now.

For a long time the house sat empty, I could have got it back, but the hurt of not having Mom & Dad there any more was part of it, the other half never could get the new Trustee to agree to it.

And I’m supposed to be okay with this?

The list goes on, am I bitter? Yes, but I’m healing, and the one crutch that provides the salve for that healing is Jesus on one side and memories of Hazzard on the other.

Like I said Bro was like a biker Bro, although I think Bro was subbed in with Bo, as in Bo Duke? I bet if there covers were pulled off that bed the smell would be a real stench.

I’m not saying any of this to make enemies out of or from those I care a great deal for. From Sonny(Enos) to Ben’s better half Alma, Daisy who I bought dinner for and ate with at the 1981 Salt Lake AutoRama. Oh here’s one for the record book.

The Utah AutoRama then , in 1981 was held at the infamous Temple square Salt Palace.

The studio had brought a General Lee, as a promo, exhibit. We brought mine.

The studio’s had no engine, a big dent on one side.

Ours while a 70 Charger was voted as the more realistic, and more exact than the studios. It was just after than Lou Stepp Productions contracted with us to supply them with used vehicles for the show. We did, but a mere mention here and there would be nice.

I’d like just one damn time to see on Ben’s web site for his theme park, remember the reunion movie? This was something the Dukes were fighting against.

Any mile, I don’t want to be thought of as a hero, Pappy put it best, just show me a Hero, I’ll prove he’s a bumb.

The real question I’m sure many ask is, what do I want money now?

No, not unless someone wants to rake out $200k, that’d do it fine. Make it out to the club, so the club can build an even bigger radio station and all to teach the lessons and history of our southern culture, and isn’t that what the Dukes were all about to begin with? No personally , don’t want big money, but a little acknowledgement of what myself, Bro, and the club provided.

It’s like SOA, Kurt didn’t promise the moon, like Gy did. What Kurt did say, let us use story lines, etc and you can use the name SAMCRO MC, That simple.

No big actors celebrity parties, no big trips to Hollyweird, , I’m okay with our arrangement with SOA, neat thing is, SOA does give some acknowledgement, and even had the Idaho Charter there on set during several filming's as walk ons and stand ons. No big deal, but at least it was a nod in our direction.

The Dukes are not always Hazzard, and Hazzard is not all just the Dukes. And am I working on a screenplay on this? Yes, I’ll give you a hint,

its called : Confederate Steele.

Going to eat, and kick back, Emma is going to call again.

Keep it wings level,
