The First of the month

The first of the month, usually by now I’m scarfing down at the Depot.

This morning not so much. As I have to not eat until about 10:00 Hours. Doctors

orders, since I need to do some blood work ups.

So as usual on the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, looked at my SNAP and cash balance, according to them, no money in the cash stash. No problem as I already checked, by phone, got my cash already and that can of SKOAL is tasting good right now. Trouble is and I say it again, what about others who think they should have money in their accounts, no phone but Internet, and it says zero. What do they do?

Call up H&W get all pissed off, and you’d think that the supposedly new system would work better than this, considering the TAX payers and working stiffs have to pay for a system that don’t work.

Forget the sequestering of Federal funds if it don’t work, lets not waste money on it, fix it or go back to the older system, that’d make sense wouldn’t it? But this America and the damn Yankees ain’t made sense since the truce was signed.

So was doing some research on topical items, finding out why it takes so dang long for that system even by phone can’t update faster.

Of course the search on both Google as well as Bing, had nothing to find on the subject. So the question becomes why?

Big day today, so I’ll see ya’ll on the flip flop, but thought I’d wake ya’ll up, with that bit of 411.

Good numbers to ya’ll

Once upon a time there was peace

Once upon a time there was the situation of a condition that lead me to a place near Twin falls Idaho called the River.

I did go. At first I felt like a skunk in a hen house but I thought this will pass. Went to some deal the night after services, that had a meal connected to it, so far liking this. So kept going, a few of these super type guys who worked next door. When I explained I myself, with a Motorcycle Club and such were building up the most high octane radio station to bring the message of Jesus to bikers and truckers and yes us Southern Christians, (there’s a major difference ) over airwaves.

In a nut shell, it was these engineer types said if we can be of help let em know. However when I called them on their offer it was, ah, ain’t got time, etc. Why offer then take back the offer, if your going to do something carry through or shut up.

Then there was a ruckus over something that I had said about another, when in fact I was talking of myself, that got misconstrued, so with that level of hostility.

So I was getting into a groove of seeing if I had sort of been forgiven, as we are to do , as God says, forgive as God forgives us.

Now this next thing was not just about a can of Skoal, or to bum some money for that and a gallon of milk to get up to later this morning, it was a way I thought to invite Bryan for once to come over, take a ride down the street to get my nicotine and moo juice needs taken care of, but also discuss some things that were keeping me from going to church and asking if there was some ways to mend some fences. Without just coming right out and saying it, kinda wanted to keep the gig in stealth mode.

But instead of getting to know me, know what was said in both my previous blogs about the River, hey I’m not a happy church goer there, but I'm doing my best to be able too. Yes there was some sour cream that flowed through the milker there, but if one is trying to  fix things dang it, is it not the Pastor’s whatever to at least sit down. One did, but I thought that it might be best for me not to go for a few weeks.

The fact that nobody from the River has even been by and said how are you doing? That hurts, at least the LDS church sends out Home Teachers.

So then after it all, and knowing this guy’s not going to show up, I give up, and just chalk it up as feelings still must be a bit frigid there yet. But then Pastor Bacon shoots back a message, with the tone being one of aggravation, really? Puts return to the River at an even larger question mark. Eastern Idaho is looking a lot more stable.

In my way of thinking, if I see a person and have done so often, needing a can of Skoal, smokes, soda what ever, if I have a few extra bucks I have no problem giving that person his or her desires. It opens a door to minister and/or witness to this person. See if they have found the love of Jesus. In the same lane, it says in our Bible, if someone is hungry feed them, if someone is thirsty, give them drink, if they are naked, give them your shirt, in this heat you give anyone a coat and they’ll die. Ultimately, if you have some extra whatever cash, food, time . Don’t put conditions on it, don’t say, naw I can’t help you because you said this or that. The deed of helping that person can just be the way you and that person, get together and discuss and settle what’s troubling you. That’s what God means, that’s what I do, and why I still love Church, at the Hazzard Rest Area, by our part of the real River.

All that can be said is yep.

Normally on the night before pay day from our state’s charity funds I’m all a twitterpaited since the anticipation of the good old $50.00 means some fuel in the truck, and all. Also this time of month I usually have more money in my pocket, but this month not so much.

First there was the mess over Nancy’ Durango, that cost me a suspension from A1 for 2-1/2 weeks, means no free gas from the company tank. Then there was the mass exodus from the original location of our station in Buhl over the weekend. We found another place withi9n the block so its possible to save it, my question right now is do I and even the club want to.

The overwhelmingly thumbs up to save it from members says try , so I’m going to give it my best, but I’m still going to take a month off to recuperate.

So I sent out a distress call, to Rick, no money , Ricky forgot his check on Friday, so then dropped a bur under the blankets of both Pastor Bacon, and Nancy.

$10.00 , of which yes I know I still owe Bacon $10.00 already, but he’d have had it bright early in the morning. Nancy not being able to help, I understand, even if she had the $10.00 how would she get it to me? Her Durango is still dead, and hubby not home means no ride, but I now know the thing is, don’t depend on Church or church officials for anything. It may not be written, but the thing of 1st Timothy that says he that does not work shall not eat, is true enough, but I been working. As far as flying, now that there is the doctors report on me being diabetic, means I need to get a waiver from the FAA, before I can fly again, so no money coming from that. Radio station taking a time out means no money, and toew truck still needing fixed means no toew money, so I have to rely for a few months on what SSI and Idaho peels out.

Is there answer to the problem? Yes , but it all boils down to relocation to the Pocatello area. Namely Power County. But that’s 9 months out, pending a new payee, and so on. So what do I do? Build on what we been building, but there are folks that are barking that they don’t want to see HazzardAyre and KDXB go dark, even on a short term, my suggestion,to them, want to see this garden bloom, like many on TV church shows, how about partnering with us, so we can make this even better, so we can get our ministry up and going, so that hundreds if not thousands of long haul truckers, and gear heads and just those with southern blood in their veins can hear the words of that being spoken of the grace and love of Jesus Christ . That is HazzardAyre. We truly need your help out there.

I’d write more , but this house is so dang hot I can’t stand it, so gotta go, I’ll try to get something up Monday morning after I go see the Doc in Buhl.

But hey Bryan and Nancy could still use a help up here tonight.

Wyld Free and Cautious

Sunday, sitting at the Wolf’s Lair trying to make sense out of last week and life in general.

Got a email, from Nancy, saying she has had crapaplenty in her world as well. The only thing I can say, is if I could help, I would, but no can find shop I can afford to go out on my own, trying to figure out if I even want or need to do anything in the valley , and just kick back, take a long hiatus and just enjoy life, no toew, no radio, no bike, no club, just kick back, God and I and let life go by enough to get the Wolf-Pack together enough to get out of here and be gone permanently. Just as I felt in Burley, I’m looking into having my birthplace changed. I do not want one damn thing that say’s I’m now or ever have been anything Idaho, or at least this half of Idaho.

Yesterday I gave this problem of the radio station over to God, and figure if he wants it here now, he’ll put the tools in my hands. If not there’ll be somebody with that $200K in their pocket that shows up, buys the license, frequency, and CP. Then I can truly say goodbye Tragic Valley.

Of course been staying inside until, 22:00 hours, by then I can open the front door as the AC here don’t work, and Charlie isn’t in a big hurry to fix it. But I’m looking at RedFish Lake next week, with a fishin pole, no computer and only a member or two of the club, but not here.

Then saw a posting by Tammy, great, except didn’t she toss me to the wind, I always wonder, about some of these gals. They are either married or good as well as. Yet they circle the old Wolf. I have always said, if a gal, wants me its very simple, Nylons, heels, and ya’ll can get the rest. its how I know that the whomever has listened to me not just heard or read my blogs here, but see life as I do.

Whether it be Nancy, whether its Tammy , no not nose candy Tammy that lead me back here to begin with as far as she is concerned, a 12 gauge is the only forgiveness there. I was making money had a great studio, all the gear, money you name it, then she gets in a pickle with a shade tree guy pal, they get busted in Wyoming for spreading out nose candy, decide to move to Buhl, so I followed thinking the shade tree guy pal was a bro, not guy toy.

But no I thought the Tammy I met online ,I thought was part of a family of which there was a little spitfire hotter than a 2 dollar pistol she was, but was divorced of that person. It, ought to be that if you divorce, give the guy back his name, just like if you buy a car you have to give back the plates, so you don’t get arrested for something they do under your name. So any way I start out the month with the radio gig in limbo, at least as far as the Tragic Valley, more so for me, but I will say that I’m going to be selfish, going to spend money on my rides, my hide(new pants) and me. I’m done with supporting the River in any way, they ain’t even been over. Last week that congregation was out doing odd jobs in a way so they could get a toe in the door to preach. But did they even once, come by the Wolf’s Lair? I had mentioned that I needed help putting in the gas tank on LexiBelle, but no stop, no visit from either pastor No bringing over a can of Skoal, Box of Goody’s or even sending someone over to haul me or offer to haul me to church. Nothing . And I’m supposed to be okay with this? This is a fellowship of our mighty God? Or a socialistic assembly of a selected few that use the word of God for some other purpose. At least the LDS Church sends someone around once in awhile to say howdy and can we do something for you. Not saying snuff of pain med, but they’ll take ya’ll to church, pray with you , I can say right now it wouldn’t take me much to slide back in there, after all I do still hold my priesthood, Guaranteed once I get relocated back down near Pocatello, or immediate area I’m doing that, maybe there is still some ignitable fumes in that gas tank, ya’ll think? Any mile, door closed to hold out the 92 degrees and not caring much about anything beyond that.

From now I on I do for Patrick, somebody beyond the club wants something from me, show me the money or reward, or else keep walking.

typical but not unexpected

So if you have been wondering where I have been over the last few days, understand its not been by choice.

See Thursday after my Physical of which they thing I might be diabetic, found that the lease on the place in Buhl, that we as the club

had on target for HazzardAyre/KDXB was up and would not be renewed, and a pet store of some sort was moving in, so Had to move some radio gear, from Buhl to storage and some to where KDOH (formerly ) KTOW was in West Point.

There are some that may ask why not move the operation next to where the tower is, problem is, nobody in the Internet world has ran a line to where the transmitter/Tower is. So the signal has to be microwaved to the Transmitter site. Thing is there has to be an internet accessible site in between, which is what the little hut in Buhl was doing.

I have two choices under the money situation. A move to Buhl, and have both house and station, or completely put the thing in limbo, and say hey it was nice, but three times and your out.

In essence do the show for satellite/ syndication as I’m doing now, get a new Payee, out east, move my butt there, and ultimately sell the signal that we have in Buhl. Considering not being able to find on air help, technical help, and low cost structure to house it in, I’m voting on the satellite/syndication, get a new Payee out around Blackfoot or that area, fix my trucks and get moved, before both the new season of SOA and winter.

The bottom line is, this hurts like loosing a loved one. But if the landlord decided we were not worth it, if we can’t get outside help, no matter gender, and everything else, why even bother?

So I’m on Satellite. That’s all.

This is typical, not unexpected, but considering all I have spent, the club has spent the things I have lost to keep the damn thing on air, and now this, it is , a hurt to think all of this, from the move in mid 2006 from Evanston, to now, I’d have been better off going back to Wyoming, and trust me I’m thinking about it. But thing is all that I have done, was for nothing.

Many decisions will be made in the next 8 weeks, certain founding members will have their membership and all revoked, the direction of both clubs examined, and my place within the club, my mind, and spirit is injured and hurt. Nancy wont come over, can’t get in touch with either pastor, bottom line this place the entire valley is not for me. So for a time HazzardAyre is only on syndicated satellite, blog occasionally, and me if I’m lucky, God, will take me in the night, and I can go home to mom & Dad and no longer worry.

Strange visitor from malware land

Good morning although by the time this gets out it’ll be afternoon, but hey at least I’m able.

If you search for a download of any kind program computer wise and the thing says in the logo CNET, do not,

REPEAT, DO NOT !!!! Download it. I did and nearly lost my entire operating system. Still have a slight bug , but its not catching.

Seems all these fifth world nations and troubled battle areas are looking to kick ass, in the not so obvious ways, instead of guns and bombs, they’re doing it on the over cyber method, one American at a time , so just don’t do it. Find a program you like, go to an area retailer, buy the damn thing in its box, load it that way, do not download.

Then had the Hershey squirts all morning so staying still for a few hours to let that pass.

Finally got me some cheap sneakers, the relief on my feet instead of walking sideways is a great help.

See thing is, I bought some fairly good boots a few years back from Wal-Mart. It was the first year I worked with Charlie. Went out in the snow and wet in a rollback hauling junk. Well not thinking, put these gum rubber based boots on a heat register to get em to dry. Well it melted the damn things and to make it short, been wanting to go get some new shoes ever since, not that money was the problem, but having time. Which I’m taking more of for me, more these days.

See since 1976, 70% of my hours has been devoted to the club in some fashion or another. In that time , I have taken three weeks out for a vacation and out of those one was for the club any way.

Oh sure there has been search after search after search for someone to come in with the same dedication to duty as I have to both the club, the cause of the club and all, to do what I do, but alas there is no one willing to put in the long hours, even at twice what I get money wise to do it. As far as money, I have taken maybe $2000.00 out for expenses, the rest I have done for 35 plus years done this clubs work for zero denarii.

However this last bout involving Nancy and all, I said bullsbreath, it’s time for the rest of this club to step up. After all this is an organization, not just a one man operation, its not a business as such for me, its that of the entire group aka the Hazzard County Syndicate, what we call the Grits Connection, and its time for the rest of the Capos and all to step up. I’m getting older and I need times away. The body tires easier, the mind gets foggy, and I’m tired of getting ill doing so much with little help, that hey , its like I said the rest of you my fellow members to get involved.

Any mile, dubbing and editing tape, then nap so I can be on air tonight, might even go out and get a brew later.

Until then Good Numbers to you and beware of anything with a CNET logo, on it for computer software downloads as they have a bunch of crap including malware that’ll give your computer the shits.

Is FamilyNet running out of episodes on its shows?

I have said this from the start.

The claims that RFDTV made that FamilyNet would never run reruns, is not factual.

Truth be known, how can you have old shows, that the production companies, studios, and original run networks give you. After that its rerun time. Hopping that people wont think of it.

There is a albeit still low in brilliance a distant star coming from the south to the north. It’s called Confederate Star TV, a satellite/cable network that will launch about this time next year.

Sure there will be the usual run of syndicated program and series’ but you’ll see first run movies, and our own in house produced series’ and specials. LIVE three newscasts, and a true LPTV analog signal here in Idaho as well as Eastern Wendover Utah.

But the question of course comes to mind, is RFDTV who now owns FamilyNet, overwhelmed, or over done here? Did RFDTV bite off more than what they could chew? After all Patrick and his crew has to run RFDTV itself and RuralTV. Might this be why the CoX Cable system across the nation was going to pull Family Net and all from their channel line up?

Hey I’m not ragging here, I like what Patrick is doing, I have made noise to include us in it, but essentially got the>>> of course there’s the old shows on Railroads, Tractors, who called that one right? Hmmm? Any mile, the noise I get is we are still to racy. Racy, Too much spice? They run HeeHaw with those gals on there, and they call our concept racy, and with too much spice, that it our inclusion would not be a good fit. Hmmm, why? A show of old yesteryear trucking, the sights of those old truck stops, and trucking’s history. Of course then , you’d be hard pressed not to hear country music on an 8track tape player running, or the infamous Truckin Bozo, Bill Mack, and others keeping us informed and entertained. How about those who trick up these older trucks? Not just the Trick My Truck style, but the father and son projects. Give that an hour or even a half hour fill in that gap between Highway to Heaven and the farm news at our time of 9:30 PM(21:00 Hours) put that out there and watch ad revenue roll in, but hey their ignorance and arrogance means pocket change for us at Dixie Diesel Trucker TV, of course there’s the other questions in programming, with the scream of every Dukes-of-Hazzard fan to see that show back on would quadruple their viewership at FamilyNet/RFDTV, or say put Movin On back to back with say BJ & The Bear. That’d be good TV for Saturday, since there’s only so much MollyB and that Polka crap. See a pattern here?

No worries mates, This is what’s in store for us here at Dixie Diesel Trucker TV, but the final question is, why just us? Why is always us to do this?
