I’m beginning to think we are reaching the end

I’m beginning to think we are nearing the end of the depth of information to be gleaned online.

I took a second or two to see if I could find the singers that did the old jingle to the Polaroid Swinger Camera ads of the late 60’s to mid 70’s. No damn luck.

There is a limit I think on time. Seems as the term statute of limitations is not just for legal stuff, the amount of information if you can find it at all , is limited to the time that information was important or current.

Anything before the onslaught of the web , is limited to music on YouTube, sure the tunes are there, but what about when it came out and who did it, especially the TV ads?

Now of course I know there is a data base out there for such things but its not public searchable.

Then you see a TV ad with a hot mama on it, you want to find who she is so YOU can feature her in an ad of yours. Good damn luck. I tried to find and still am, to find the real name, agent etc of the gal, that does the Forever Comfy seat cushion ads. That Trish D is darn good looking. Can I find it? Nope. Can’t even find who produced the ad or anything, make one wonder about the product as if you can’t find em where did your money go?

While much information today is more protected than in years before especially companies, that do media, is there a TV Commercial data base out there, that tells you who did what? Were? and When?

Okay still thinking on going to this Men’s getaway , with the guys of the River Fellowship, and I’ll say still thinking on it no final decision. This is the times that having somebody to sub on air, here, would be good, but its mostly weather, with a slight amount of hostility in my head as well. I guess true honesty is in the mind of the beholder. You want to trust but you get patronized too much or put off, you don’t get much from em. But maybe if they can’t just run off, maybe I can hogtie a few and siphon out some gray matter intelligence.

But are we getting to the end of available information on the web?

Does make ya’ll wonder, don’t it?

If it don’t work, get rid of it

I say, if it don’t work, get rid of it.

Of the many things I really get festered over is computer software that is downloaded , but some hardly dry behind the ears college kid in Palo Alto California forgot, is that there is this place called Idaho.

Example, downloaded a tool bar for bible search, which is a disguise for that blooming My Search Toolbar. Ever try to get rid of that? Thing is, it has a pop out for radio stations. Know what not only is HazzardAyre not on there , but none of Idaho’s stations. When in the heck is those in California and the east coast going to figure out that in between there are states that have something better than they do? Add to that 80% of those that used to call California home are moving to Idaho, which sadly is one of if not the lowest wage states in the entire union.

But I say if the dang doo dad don’t work, junk it, take it off my computer, then move the heck out of the way for those who can.

Same thing is pride that should have nothing to do in church. But even our treasured River Fellowship has that.

Example, as ya’ll know the River Fellowship has three TV stations, and two radio stations, at the church. Other night , thing went sour. Supposedly the aux power unit hasn’t been fixed, the list goes on and on. Now I have put myself out there on more than one occasion, that I’d be happy to help. For free. Anything that gets the lords words out there I’m in. Yet for some reason, mostly pride and my rebel personality reputation, keeps me out of there. Really, isn’t it written in our Bibles that God forgives and says all is well? Should I be held back from helping when, I can and do a much better job than what’s there now?

Our Pastor put out this survey thing at Church, tonight about our gifts and such. He put out in his sermon if there is anything that you would change in the church, without regard to money needs etc, what would it be? I’d say, instead of slamming the door in front of someone with expertise, in broadcasting with nearly 40 years experience in both this market as well as some top 50 media markets, should be used. What I’d change, replace some XO’s with some troops, or in none military terms, less chiefs, more Indians.

Any way gotta get back on air, and next entry why I care.

Where my mom sleeps now.

Simple acts go much further than money

Simple acts of affection or just brotherly or church love goes a long way.

Sometimes though the need is not seen so it goes by and nothing happens but tasks performed can mean nearly as much.

Example, today was Mothers Day, all day I have been in grief over the fact Mom is not here. Aside from the small things mom did like laundry, fixing meals and such, the simple act of a hug at just the right time, goes a long way to comforting someone in the same boat.

I was sitting, in church this evening, hearing about all the gifts we have that we can offer the congregation. Its not just the church, since the church is a building with chairs. The congregation, is the earthly body, and needs feeding and nurturing rather than neutering, just as much as anything. For the few that truly have surrendered their lives to Christ and all, it’s the learning of how to enhance our knowledge that’s important. However faith without works is meaningless.

This gift I have of gab, that I use everyday on air on radio, the organizational skills I have learned as well as been given, by God, for the Knytes and AyreWolvez, but more importantly the gift of opening up my heart more than once and constantly and at times it gets stepped on. It hurts, more from pride, than anything, God mends hearts. But at least I held out and gave a hand up to someone that needed it.

Some take helping out as a sign of something sinister. Example, when I went to Glenn’s Ferry , in 2008, little gal next door, needed money for school supplies. I offer the simple task of posing with an aircraft, in a pic we were going to tag, as, “ Been flying long” kinda like that one of the two little boys dressed as young farmers who says, “ Been farming long?” Of course some dillweed of a city council member there thought I had devious plans. So the one task the AyreWolvez was trying to do went down in flames. But at least I can say I was being kind. Some people can be lead to knowledge, but at times you can’t make them think.

But then there’s this dear gal from church and although a task to be compensated for, still took my was, some that hadn’t seen the inside of a washer since August, and I have fresh threads. Yes I’d have been tickled for a hug, but hey the spirit hadn’t moved her, but still she’s as kind as could be. Why is it more can’t be that way.

Then there’s two that live with her. One seems to be going through some heavy duty, stuff. While I don’t like to pry, I am there for a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen.

Any way, decided to let the on air bit go to DXB tonight, I’m pooped. The spirit of God will place the on air people we need to us when he sees fit. Since he hasn’t I take it as , in his power in ain’t time for that for our own good, its in Gods tender loving hands, so I do the best with what we have right now.

See ya’ll Monday afternoon.

Mothers Day 2013

Thank goodness there’s an evening service.

At 04:00 hours call came into Dixie central, overturned rig, I-84 between Tremonton Utah and Snowville Utah. Since we have toew rights in Utah and few others here do we responded with two trucks, skip loader and another open boxed trailer and tractor.

With most things cleaned up by 09:00 I decided to honor My mom, by going home via Grace Idaho and at least kneeling beside my Mom’s grave, as that’s all I can do now.

My mom was truly a master of all things, and a comforter to the degree I have not seen in any other woman anywhere.

I suppose I’m not unlike any other guy on earth, there is no other woman like Mom. But my Mom was truly special, and whose accomplishments are to be honored by many.

Many , all too many to put down on a blog, and a Mom who made possible dreams not just for me but all too many others. Many who fail and all too many forget. Guess its better for them that way.

The Christmas’ , work ethic, and oh yes that special spaghetti sauce, the hotcakes, cookies, and cinnamon buns mom made I can remember.

Of course there’s the ability to make water run uphill, the irrigating mom did on a 300 acre ranch only with a shovel, plastic dam, and siphon tubes. We didn’t have anything like a pivot or sprinkler pipe on our place.

Mom would milk 100 head of dairy cows, feed chickens, collect eggs, nurse little pigs from a bottle, and still made my life possible.

Mom taught Sunday school, contributed heavily to many causes financially, and still and maybe this is the most tragic, none of those people remember those financial and time consuming efforts. At least not to me .

Of course there’s the $15k she put into the coffers of the start up of the REAL , Hazzard-County-Garage, that is now Hazzard-County-Choppers/Dixie-Toewing. The real gift to me was the $1,500.00 out of her own savings, that bought LexiBelle,>> and yes even my General Lee. .

I got home at noon, and with all the driving and thinking, I think, I’m taking a nap so I can go to church tonight.

For all of you, who have moms at home, or are still in contact with your moms, honor and love them, they all are not here forever.

When they’re gone, they’re gone, and unless we do what we are supposed to under the eyes of God, we’ll never see them again.

I’m reminded of a song by CW McCall, “Roses for Mama” If ya’ll get a chance look it up on YouTube.

Don’t ya’ll love it when you can stump Google?

Now understand I wasn’t trying to stump the giant search engine, but I must have.

See I was looking for this hymn or song we sing at church.

It has in the lyrics ,” He does everything for my Good”, “You Make everything for my good” thinking maybe I could find the full song.

Guess what? No can do, none of the search engines. Now true I don’t know its title and I will by end of today, as I’m going to sniff it out today at church, but I wonder at times, have we started to see the end of the mighty web? At least from a search point of view, and especially on things relating to gospel hymns and church songs?

I’ll have more on this, this afternoon on air.

Thanks to my lady friend from church, she did my laundry, even my poopy underwear, one does not know what a joy it is, to be in clean shorts.

Fell in love over at her house Saturday night, there’s this little poodle dog, that was shining up to me purtty good. Just wondering how if I end up with him, that he’ll get along with my wolf pup. This ought to be interesting.

Then I came home switched on NRB on TV, and my what a bunch of posers.

I am one who believes in the ideals of Jesus, and the enrichment of Gods love for me every second, but some folks I think especially preachers are a bit out there. In the words of Charley Daniels, “ Was watching the preacher man on TV, says Jesus walked on the water, and I know its true, but sometimes I think that preacher man would like to do a little walkin too”

True God does work in odd ways, but some of these young preachers are a bit too odd. Especially at the end of most of these shows , somebody says, “How about partnering with us to keep this ministry going?” If somebody is going to partner with anybody, how about partnering with the Knytes to keep HazzardAyre going?

No I’m not asking for money the Knytes and HazzardAyre is doing fine, its just the idea. Then you go to their websites, to see their conferences and concert dates, NONE OF THEM ARE IN IDAHO.

To Acquire The Fire, I have an idea, bring your singers, and all to Idaho, then I’ll partner with you.

Why I fight for a place I dislike, that in my next entry.

Church is at 10:00AM and I need to be there at 09:45, so see ya’ll this afternoon.

Keep It Tween the Ditches,

This is exactly why there needs to be two

The sentiments are all the same or are based upon pure economics.

There’s a big dukes gig in June, on the 8th I believe.

The responses from most Dukes fans is, like to go, but can’t afford to.

This is why the Knytes are still busting hump to stage DukesFest West/Hazzard Nationals here in Idaho.

Less admission fees, more to offer, and a Charity to give the money to.

The thing is, although only slightly better, even our Canadian brothers and sisters, just do not have the money to get

all the kids together, load em in the SUV or Minivan, travel 3 or 4 days, having to do motels, eats and all.

Many people are just holding on. Added to that a lower farm income this year due to delays in getting in the fields, due to weather,

the fact is the pockets are a bit shallow.

So what to do?

Travel west, where lodging, food, and all is less and for those west of the Mississippi , easier to get to.

Its not to cause any bitterness towards Ben or Alma or any of that, infact part of what we make we will send to them, but the fact is,

For those of us in the Mountain West , going to Nashville is a big expense, coming to Twin Falls Idaho isn’t.

So if you can’t trek east to Nashville in June, this year, plan on coming west here to Twin Falls next year, for:

DukesFest West/Hazzard Nationals.

Watch here for further details and the even web addy.

Oh and the charity? Whom else? The River Fellowship.

Oops

So while the nightly sermon from DXB was going on, I decided a well deserved break was required.

So I hobbled off to the kitchen, made a sandwich, flipped on the TV and found RFDTV off air. Really, the churches main analog station off air? Can’t be. So flipped over to the alternate, same thing.

Now I knew this was going to happen sort of when doing the nightly newscast, the entire newscast was extremely short, because all the news feeds from the networks were fouled up. It’s still is. The question comes, if they can’t do this right why not sell the flipping thing to someone who can?

Who would buy it? HazzardAyre and Confederate Steele Media that’s who. Considering Confederate Steele has bought just a tad over $75,million dollars worth of broadcast facilities and stations over a five year period is not an outfit to shake a fist at. And Confederate Steele isn’t done yet. Two stations in eastern Idaho, one out of Wyoming, two out of Utah and one out of western Colorado is in the cross hairs of Confederate Steele.

Now then one could counter that KCTF-45 has a great engineering staff, of two yes, but the head one, who claims KMVT as a threshold starter and success, is not such a great reference. As we all know how messed up KMVT is.

It’s not the fault of the stations themselves. Not too many full time expert engineers are in a big rush to move to Idaho to further their careers. Added to that even if they might have been looking at Idaho once and especially the Tragic Valley here, the news out of Washington DC by a major financial publication saying Idaho has the lowest wages of any state in the Yankee Union, or any state for that matter. Only Pocatello increased wages and not by much. Which is going to injure Idaho in attracting any real professionals in any fields. Medical people are leaving like flys off dried manure, but that’s a story for a different time, except that only one mediocre company in media, owned by a MC combined with a warbird organization, is paying wages 4 times higher than most firms and even we have trouble attracting good people.

Getting back on course here, if a business can’t do a job right or just fiddles with it and can’t generate the cash in the stash to maintain it, then by all means they should sell it.

River Fellowship, HazzardAyre is ready to buy.

L8R Ya’ll gotta get back on air.
