What’s the big deal?

So as I closed out of a full radio show last night with the lowest blood sugar reading I have had yet and all, checked the ad activity on CraigsList. The only ad up there is my personal ad for a personal SheWolf,-(wife)- so I ask what’s the big deal? Jenn told me Friday when I picked up my check to pull down the others, so I did. In fact I’m not sure if I’m going to put em back up for sometime. the reasons vary, but are centered on the fact that finding models for ads etc, more so for on air radio talent here is a mission impossible, so why put myself and the club through that. Trust me bro’s and sis’s all these premadonnas will be gnashing their teeth wanting to be on our station once active, but then the interview is going to be a ton and a half different.

Had one last inquiry on Lady Wolvez this morning, sent a reply, but I’m no longer killing myself and ignoring my own company and my health on this.

Here’s the closing on that, why that tuff gal has to keep getting in our face is beyond me. Quite frankly what we as a club do, or what I do has nothing to do with her. We gave her the boot, months ago. I’m not involved with her in any way, and damn well I know none of you are. What’s she trying to do? Protect the entire female population of Twin Falls from what? Me teaching them broadcast basics, and giving them a place to hone their skills once on the air in a short few months.

I have said this once before, I’m glad Edison wasn’t trying to invent the light bulb in Twin Falls now, or years ago , as with the consensus here on out of the box anything, we’d still be lighting our way with candles or oil lanterns.

Saw where RFDTV, is doing a big gig at Indy. To kick off Rural Radio on XM Sirius, Channel 80, they are doing a big thing on the grounds of the Brickyard 400. A tractor/truck parade, and so on is going down on the third. Wish we could go, but things being what they are can’t quite do that. But here’s my suggestion to Patrick CEO RFDTV, if he wanted to really attract entrants, he ought to make arrangements at least for the pick-up trucks, that those that can, be able to have a truck race, and allow the trucks to run at race speeds. Getting Danica Patrick there as a feature driver would be a plus, just a suggestion.

Last here this morning, with most everything turned worse than lemon sour in Twin Falls, plans for a 2014 DukesFest West-Hazzard Nationals has been cancelled. Plans are now that once resettled in Eastern Idaho, is to stage the event at either the Power County FairGrounds or the Eastern Idaho FairGrounds in Blackfoot, in 2015. I’ll keep ya’ll posted.

However the Knytes/AyreWolvez reunion, has been penciled in for 2014 in Idaho Falls.

Any mile, body is near spent so headed for bed.

Oh how I wish I truly was in Dixie

Oh how I truly wish I were in Dixie.

In due recognition of my previous entry here, I really wish there was a agency to hire short term acting, modeling and even radio talent regardless of gender from. Sadly Twin Falls is not one of those towns. So one has to go through a cudzillion of avenues like posting ads on near fraud sites like CraigsList, to hopefully dredge up what little acting, or such talent might be available.

Forget open calls at say the local mall, area mall managers not keen on the idea, guess Ogden or Layton Utah’s Malls are more receptive to such ideas.

Forget recruiting from a local radio/tv school, there aren’t any , anymore. Thought being why? No live or little LIVE radio being done any more. Thing is even those on Sirius-XM are media/radio personalities, they need to train somewhere, but certainly not Twin Falls Idaho. Maybe Utah, there was one there once but got bought out by a nursing school that ran the radio school into the ground and killed it.

With Idaho and especially Twin Falls only counting for maybe a 1/2 percent of broadcast penetration there is little incentive for anyone including a area land grant college to devote resources to a course in even broadcast basics education. Most of anyone on radio here, if they get on radio here no matter the gender most of the time just pushes buttons. Few speak, and even fewer put any , well, personality into a radio show.

Oh yes, such shows as Bob & Tom etc are groovy, but they are not produced here. Just aired. As far as any of the stations being truly being locally owned, there are two, Confederate Steele/HazzardAyre and Lee Family Broadcasting, the rest although locally managed(to a point) are owned by huge media conglomerates like Cumulus Broadcasting. Formerly Citadel(KBOI).

I used to cuss the area stations of not having a living body during the day on air, aside from morning drive and afternoon drive times. Reason they don’t? Who are they going to hire? There are few if any real pro broadcasters never mind gender that is looking for radio career jobs. Fewer, that walk in with a resume, air check, and can sit down at even the most modest of consoles and deliver a show just off the sidewalk. It ain’t here. So doing my gut feelings, we still build what was intended, have someone manage ops here, get in truck make a house for it all in Eastern Idaho, and in a year or so, fire up things on that end and link the two together.

I mentioned being in Dixie. Reason? Most, not all, but most in our beloved Dixie, are people who haven’t got their head up their butts, in fear that someone might do some evil to them. See a radio job, take it. Plus there are agencies and other human resources agencies that one can make one call that’s all, and have the whatever project done in a week or less, in the can(film canister) and out to distributors, webmasters etc. Not in Idaho, and damn well not Twin Falls. The fact that most see me and think can’t be, must always be reminded, it ain’t me. I’m but one of 10 people working in the media arm of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, and its parent the United American Independent Truckers Association. They call up the marching orders, Its my job to get the Wolf-Pack, the Knytes and who ever else, to get on board and carry out those orders. Its not my money, it’s the clubs. They say what is what , they giveth and they takeith away.

Then there is my current domestic situation. I never ever wanted nor asked to move back to Twin Falls. In fact my thoughts were that if I were to move away from the Mini Cassia area that it’d be east or south. But the gal that was my SSI Payee kept sending the wrong checks for the wrong amounts to the wrong people. Hell my final check from her was two weeks late, because it was the post offices fault? Someone was keeping the money in their drawer. Any mile, I had, had enough, so in frustration I slept in my shop, there. Mice and all. Finally got another place there was nesting in, called Big C to get him to take over those payee duties, he would but only if I moved here to Twin Falls. I did, but gave up a shop, an apartment with all paid including cable and internet all to save $40.00 a month and make sure bills were paid. Okay I’m here, some doors look to be opening , got some assistance from the VA on housing, got to finalize that Monday, which will put a few extra bucks in my pocket, this way can get a shop and all. Not to go back in the toew bizz, nope, to rejuvenate my trucks get my affairs in order, then after the radio station here is flowing like a gusher, get me and my wolf-pack outta here.

If we could only get the honesty of Dixie here out west and here in Idaho, and the carpetbaggers out.

Don’t go away mad, just go away or do the letters F O mean anything to you?

So I get up , poke my finger draw the sample, 150, okay I’ll splurge Donut /milk. So I look at email, the clubs first, there is that gal from over on Shop avenue, who threw a wrench in our spokes back last December. My response was simply F-O. The way I figure it, is we ain’t bothering her, the talent search is no longer for here, and quite frankly its none of her business. Now I’m sure that Big C’s better half amongst others will be pee-owed, as this Christy witch will be calling her. I don’t care any more, I’ve got diabetes, I’m heading for the pearly gates, I’m going to do my duty to the club, whether she likes it or not, she did not qualify , in either looks or attitude, shit I tried to fend her off, but every time she kept wanting on board then bitched at Big C’s better half we were bothering her. Then to stop it I nearly had to beg her to come over to take a look. Bullshit. Go the hell away woman. Get out of our space.

Okay then sorry to get into that on a Sunday, but don’t she have anything else to do? Is it that HazzardAyre is really gaining ground and we have a zealot jealous gal who shunned us once now needs to squeal like a pig? No wonder her old man in Kimberly divorced her butt.

I used to sympathize with the woman on the day of a divorce. I don’t any more, I would rather sympathize with the grieving husband or ex hubby. Thing is want the real skivvy on a gal , talk to the ex hubby, like buying a rather used car, don’t talk to the dealer, talk to the mechanic.

So I’m taking a shower, finish up some short production for the show tonight, and get some more sleep, so Christy, get off our porch, don’t go away mad, just go away. Or in closing again I say, does the words F-O mean anything to you.

Empires are hard to rebuild and slow to harvest.

First off tonight before we launch out on the road with the load that toews on HazzardAyre Radio wanted to pass this along.

As many of you know, placed a CL personal ad to see if it’d grab any attention as our help ads have. I have gotten many inquiries most being like those ya’ll get in spam wanting you to go look at their porn films that contain malware. You can tell that many are not looking for the big bad wolf here. But got this one >Then this one> the big question becomes why would a sweet looking shortcake like this want with a 54 year old toew jockey that turns a wrench and commands a radio network for Christian gearheads? Not saying God can’t perform a miracle like that, but it’d be one of a quadzillion if he did. I would hope this gal is real, punching out without having one last chance at a good relationship with a good lady by my side, and companion would be a true gift of God. But I hate to get my hopes up. Had one like that in 2004, sent a bunch of emails over many weeks even months. Turned out she was from some place in the European east block Soviet nations, looking for something that I still am trying to figure out, turned out to be a fraud for money laundering, nothing I wanted to dive into.

Okay then caught a thing from a agency willing to help with housing expenses from the VA, groovy, pay less rent, get new shop, rebuild rigs. While at the same time build KDXB FM into the super station. The thing is do I build it here? Not that life here in Twin Falls with Big C doing accounting duties, and all is bad. Only thing I don’t have right now is cable TV, and that gets in , in September. The question again is do I really want to rebuild the Empire here? Or go with plan A, refurbish , and upgrade my toew trucks, find place to call a Wolf’s Lair in Eastern Idaho and build the empire there. Building it in eastern Idaho makes sense, as I have less competitors there, and human resources are a bit more plentiful near Pocatello and Idaho Falls, plus Eastern Idaho has higher wages than western Idaho has, even Boise. Seems as though every time I get my plans focused on going east, something and I’m not sure if its God or not yet, as this sweet honey>is real and wants this old Wolf happened would be a sign of God’s plan here,. I’m not saying that things here are not good, but with my new thing of blood sugar, being too high, I haven’t got all that many years left, my time table got shortened quite a bit, so need to get off my butt and get on my feet, toewing, and all.

The other troubling thing is, who could or would do what I do for the club that could step in if I do punch out? Right now only two, my cousin Randy in Bountiful, and Videl in Blackfoot, are the only two with enough skills learned of the club and me, to be the executive officer of the Knytes. Who can care for a annual inflow of money of some $25,million a year, and ride herd on the membership and needs of the club, who has enough media experience like I do to watch over and program Confederate Steele Media, like I do? I’m starting to wonder, and be concerned, but like all things I give it to give it God.

Speaking finally of God things, The Rode Knytes Association the custom/classic towing enthusiasts subsidiary of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, is bringing together a church for us toewers, called the Church of Toew> Which will be meeting at Knytes Hall here in Twin beginning in September. Yes we found a place that is good to build a Knytes Hall in Twin Falls in.

Well its that time, see ya’ll in a few on the radio starting at 02:00 Mountain Standard Time.

Then There’s the Facebook Friend Requests

Then there are the Facebook Friend Requests.

Case-n-point, went to post the last blog entry, notice from Facebook pops up, says account blocked. Posted it anyway, but checked why. Response too many friend requests. First I seldom make friend requests, most people want to be friends with me, usually to con me or the club through me out of money. Not that they have any reason to be my friend. Of course there’s that thing Facebook posts on my inbox email, see if these are people to add to my friends list. Its make up your damn mind Facebook, either quit bitching about my friend requests if there are any, or shut up about the fact I unfriended a ton of people.

My thing is, if your not a true member of The Knytes-of-Anarchy or any of the clubs subsidiaries, I don’t want to be your damn friend. I don’t want you to post to my page, I don’t want any of it. The only reason I’m there on Facefart to begin with is for the benefit of club members and sponsors, no one else, I don’t care about the rest of you.

The Internet truly needs to get its crap together, and of course there’s us. The tiny group of 50,000 that all said would crumble in 85 after the Dukes of Hazzard went off the air. The Knytes-of-Anarchy took up the torch and has kept running ever since. With only 3 real toe stubs, still every enterprise that the club is into has remained afloat, profitable and solid. Even with Obamaconomics and all the club runs and oh yes we hire, but those new hires are few, as all too many outsiders never measure up to Knytes standards.

If Facebook ever wants our ad business, now or in the future, they’d better not keep putting road blocks up.

Keep it Kountry

Don’t ya’ll just love stumping the Search Engines?

Don’t ya’ll just love stumping the search engines? Like Google, Yahoo and so on.

Tried to look up Love American Style>to see if one of these syndicated TV networks, like Hulu or some such was running the old episodes. I saw only short links to clips, no entire episodes. This is not the only limitations here. Type in RoadMasters Association, if your lucky you get a glimpse of one magazine cover that was the predecessor of Overdrive and the first block of the Independent Truckers Association, now as our parent group the United American Independent Truckers Association. There’s not hardly one iota of real news of the before Internet on the TTA on the Internet. Sure there’s stuff on there now since I have been writing it, but you’d be hard pressed to find anything concerning the roots of our groups on there prior to the search/Internet generation.

There’s this grand thing that goes , if its not online , it don’t exist. Remember how those idiots in MHI used to hammer me? It’s not because things didn’t exist years ago, its because those dillweeds didn’t know better or could not Google it. Like I said then, there was an entire world undiscovered before the Internet revolution.

Okay then, there’s the Yahoo, thing. The people who write for Yahoo, must only live in huge Metro areas that seldom leave their happy cubicle office place. Saw this report on the worst drivers in the USA. The first one out of the box I saw that was just like a Yankee city folk, was saying Montana was the worst in deadly crashes. Perhaps, what the reporter said was humorous was that the reason may be that drivers there drove 67 Chevy pickups without seat belts. Really is that the best reason this kid hardly dry behind the ears could surmise? Reasons for Montana being a deadly driving place might be that there is no posted speed limit on major Interstates and highways in Montana. It could also be that the collisions with big game like deer could enter in, and of course sub zero weather in the winter with snow and ice. I’d like to enter in, Utah as number 2 as a deadly place to drive. Ever been at 215 and 15 at 17:00? If that don’t kill ya, driving down a back road or even a two lane highway in Idaho, might just do it. Where some bumpkin stops in the middle of the road to check critters and livestock, not thinking there’s a rig barreling down on em at 65 with 80,000 pounds attached. Or teens and youth in both states sitting in the no zone , right behind and along side a trailer of a OTR rig. In that spot your out of the truckers blind spot. How about the idiot who forgot that dimmer switch aside the wheel who loves to get behind someone in a tow truck with three mirrors and wont dim their headlights, at that point I can’t see. Meaning his Pinto is now dead meat. Or the idiot that can’t figure out that a turn signal is a good thing, give me some idea of what your going to do, before you’re a hood trophy.

Bottom line Search Engine researchers and Yahoo writers need to get out of their cubicles, and see rural America, and two remember classic TV of the 70’s and late 60’s. But then that’s why you have HazzardAyre, and Confederate Steele TV.

If it ain’t a Holmes I ain’t driving it

It started with a Holmes 220 mechanical, then to a 440 Holmes then to my sweet Holmes 500 on the back of LexiBelle

>I used to see Holmes on everything, toewing. Two owners of what then were solid large toew services would no more run a Zacklift or a Vulcan if their life depended on it. Johnny (Johnny’s Towing-Twin Falls Idaho) said it simply, if it doesn’t have Holmes on the nameplate I ain’t driving it. That set in my mind too. Considering how many trucks others have went through, my mid sized 500 Holmes keeps bringing home the groceries.

However with the launch into plastic and aluminum cars and sport trucks not to mention SUV’s the Holmes nameplate kind of faded. Although still made as a subsidiary of Miller Industries, Holmes is joined by its stable mate Century, and a bunch of smaller manufacturers that banded together.

You can ask dealers, other toew bro’s and others what happened to Holmes, the answers go from no longer important, not as much diversity as to style and new products, yet Ernest Holmes was responsible for creating the entire toewing industry as we know it.

Research online is a bit scarce. You can Google Holmes tow trucks and you get the factory, or some EBay listing. But never something like a new product, although still made, the Holmes 600R is an example. Dating back to its split boom kin the 600R is a mid sized rotator, that can handle most RV’s and mid sized trucks, the 220 Snatcher is a quick pick repo rig, the 440SL still a champion in its class, so why don’t we see more Holmes out west? More over why don’t we see more Holmes in the Mountain West.

Of the many projects that go on very silently, the Rode Knytes Association the Toew Operators subsidiary of the Knytes-of-Anarchy is to bring back that proud nameplate as well as preserving the brand name.

To wit, The Rode Knytes is looking to opening a toew equipment dealership and supply house in Pocatello, in 2015. Selling only Holmes and Century.

But why the disconnect of operators ?

More research continues, stay tuned.

In lighter news Highway Hooker Radio returns full force , however it wont be until mid month November. Production on the new series along with its TV counterpart, on Confederate Steele TV, is taking longer than anticipated.

The major hurdle from my vantage point is, the discovery of me having type 2 diabetes, due to both weight and stress, means I have shortened my life span a few years. Guess that thought of me punching out at 89, might be a bit less. The fact that the thing will kick my butt long before then, so I figure 40 more good years, means I’m grabbing all the gusto I can, getting things done, and not wasting any more time in a dead end village, Twin Falls stopped being a city, it now is a village. What stunted Twin Falls’ growth? That’s hard to determine. Its not like Twin Falls ever had a growth mentality, but it seemed for a short spell that Twin Falls got a spurt and we saw something shift in the wind other than the stench from Dairy farms. Don’t get me wrong agriculture is vital to us all we have to eat. No eat, die, too much eat die as well, but the economics of Twin Falls has concentrated squarely on farm and farm supply. As Big C, and my dad always said, don’t put all the eggs in one basket. Diversify, we in Twin Falls need technological as well as industrial growth, not simply farm supply or farm product processing growth. The fact that the sewer and water system can’t any longer support additional large scale growth is one thing, low educational levels of area schools, infrastructure, and the fact that Twin Falls is known as the Crack capitol of the west, and thus owns the title of Tweaker Flatts, where 80% of the population is on, probation for some violation attached to crack and meth, means Twin Falls ain’t going to exceed growth. As I get older and this diabetes sheds years off of my life, if I’m to achieve anything in my life, I need to be in one of two places as my core being is toewing, especially with outdated but still able equipment, but being where the need is there but long distances and response times for and from competitors is long and thus I can get called or, where the population is of such that its large enough with the volume that warrants buying or going into debt for new equipment. The ideal situation would be , being where both of those conditions meet. I found three and keeping quiet on both. But that said, when I buy new it’ll be a Holmes, like Johnny, said it, “If it ain’t a Holmes , I ain’t driving it.”
