Works by day but not by night

Sorry for not being on the air overnight, but it would seem like our Internet services provider, SpeedConnect, and us are not getting along very good. Oh don't think that the people there are not great they are, it's just that they are dealing with technology, that is not up to the task.
The art of streaming anything either down or up is one that has exceeded I think, SpeedConnect' ability. 
What I can't understand and yes I am expecting the operational quality that I would get in Utah, Boise, etc. But that's not the case. Here's one of the problems. SpeedConnect has as its backbone running from Idaho Falls to Twin Falls, with cell phone carrier Syringa. Which means if the cell phones are getting used a lot, then my signal on the backend for Internet is scrubbed or hampered. There is a cure, but it would seem that the cure is beyond the funding SpeedConnect wants to invest , at least in Idaho. 
What this means is, the end of October which will be when our bill with Cable-One is fully paid and all, I have to go in with tail between my legs and get them . At least until MegaPath gets installed in six months or so. What blows my rocks is that even with the injured modem, I had before they swapped it out and gave me a new one , that now I can't even download anything from YouTube without reloading, can't watch Internet TV. Before I started this report, I did a signal test. At 11:19 PM, Download is just above 2mps. I tried it twice, first time 1.46mps, next time under 1.mps. like 046mps. Naw this ain't cutting it. With the modem I had before at least I could get through a TV show from hulu, or a radio show. 
Now it could be my computer, so I did 4 level 3 diagnostics. All checked out okay, so its not the computer. Could it be something between me and what ever tower is getting stepped on? Perhaps. Did SpeedConnect' tower get struck by a lightning bolt, screwed that up, and they aren't telling me? Now it could be that for ordinary users, who blog, check email, do Facebook, SpeedConnect is great, its a family value thing. A value to a family, for simplistic use, but not for constant downloading and uploading at the same time, it flat does not have that kind of horsepower. So one more month with SpeedConnect unless something can be corrected, if not come October 1st its bye bye SpeedConnect, hello back to Cable-One, even at their 15mps to 20mps. At least I can do what is needed to keep growing WyldAyre and HazzardAyre Radio respectfully. By April should have things worked out in the new studio where, we have MegaPath running. Granted it'll cost us $350.00 a month, but hopefully that will get-r-done. But I'll test it just like I did SpeedConnect. Ultimately, its about delivering a radio experience unmatched by any both online Internet radio or by OTA. 
So I retract my praise on SpeedConnect. People are good, service responce really great, but operationally the signal dependability, sucks. 
See ya'll in a month on the radio.
Until then I'll keep you informed on the club here in these blogs.
Keep it wings level.
L8R Aviators,

The day is done, didn't even get to the mall, but!

So it's the end of yet another day, my am I pooped. Heck ain't even had time to poop. Was in studio most of the day editing and recording music. It has came down to getting just about every play list on our music pipe, on tape and all.
Thought I'd hear from SpeedConnect today, or at least their customer support staff. I have been giving out compliments to SpeedConnect, but it would seem that the relationship between SpeedConnect and HazzardAyre is growing weak. So I'll have to go with tail between legs to Cable-One. Not that their much better and yes its going to cost, but the cost is about the same so since I gotta do cable for SOA, might as well get a more stable platform. SpeedConnect is good, for basic computing or internet. Email, blogs etc, but heavy streaming and needing at least 15mps to stay erect, is not SpeedConnects ability so, at the end of September its adios to SpeedConnect, howdy back to Cable-One. The bill I owed is near paid, so oh well. Not that we're not busting hump for our own pipeline, but that's still six months or so off.
The quoting services I been working with are not coming up with any solid conclusions or solutions. 
Okay then saw while on air earlier that some of our supporters up north around MHI and so on, are still with us. My thing is simple, while I know money is tight everywhere with everyone even our military, but if folks want to support HazzardAyre and the club, we need your financial support. It's the first time I or any member of the club have asked, but funds are needed for our FCC app, project, as well as getting into a new studio. Even a $100.00 from 10 people would set the thing in better shape. So if you can pony up some funds and skip a few beer runs we could use it.
That's how you like and support the club.
Any mile, going to the shower and to bed. Have a long day Thursday.

Where does those names come from and, if only here

The names of the week come from varied sources. From Sun Day which means Day of the Sun, to today being Wednesday, meaning Woden Day, okay I’ll modify that into day of Wood, which might give validity to the term HUMP day, I’ll let ya’ll figure that out.

Of course during the week and I’ve made it mandatory for me I pick a day to just flat pull the plug, do little and sleep and configure my brain. That is today.

In my younger days this was not so much of a factor. I used to not make a fuss over Mom nor Dad saying , I wish I could plug into his energy source. But for me, my energy source is drained by mid week.

Maybe much of this comes from being drained mentally. After all , putting your everything into something for so long only to have all but the right people take notice and support that idea, or project only to kick it and you to the curb might be some of it.

Yes, I’m bitching again, you get all pumped up, and then have all too many rain on your picnic that you say fine I’ll do the what ever IT is, but I’m not going to kill myself. Or you see something that is happening elsewhere, and ya’ll know they have people here, doing things like exotic dancers and entertainers, and yet the club can’t get one hottie to pose with a rat rod or truck? Is there something I’m missing here. Example, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Very Mormon and I thought stuck up, yet there, Bare-Naked-4-U , an adult dancer outfit. That has extensions all over Idaho, and ya’ll got to know at least a few here in Twin Falls. Yet we can’t even get a hottie for a photo op? Granted these adult entertainers are making big money, but for the few around here , getting $100.00 per hour to pose with a truck or rat rod, or even a warbird, and no or just kicking tires inquiries, and getting some to even show up is a gift, not the usual.

Yesterday I was chowing down at Subway in Twin Falls at the Mall, supposedly there’s a fashion show next week there for back to school. The mall had an open call, gals were all there all over applying for short term gigs to pose as stiffs to show off the new threads.

Many doing this for little to no money, and yet we have a the damnest time trying to find even one candidate. Maybe I do need an office, so going out in the AM Thursday to see what I can scare up.

So for me, Wednesday is Take a breath and replenish Day, and oh how I wish things were as they is in IF, more on that on radio overnight.

The why to our yellow/pink truck colors.

A few years ago, long before Alysa Mylano got really super popular, and shortly after Who's the Boss, there was a film, that had in it, a set of pink and yellow tow trucks that were owned at least in the film by a famous football player. I have a Highway Hooker T shirt and gift certificate here for someone who can remember the cast and a Highway Hooker Radio hat, for someone who can find pics of those pink and yellow tow trucks, that had a checkered flag strip running down the side like a pin stripe. 
I thought it was Moving Violations but that's not it. Any body who can help, would be appreciated here.
Any mile a few years later, before I decided on John Deere Green/Yellow I tried using those pink/yellow color combinations. There was some success in that, and we had tons of pink uniforms and wearables printed up for that op. 
So if you remember this movie and can find pics , send em to me, and you'll win a few prizes.

What a fracking dork, this ain't got many miles on it.

So today was the day that the new PSR dude takes over from Todd. The goal is simple enough, get it where some shrink with a DR. on its name can sign a piece of paper that says, the old Wolf here can manage my own funds, turn it in to the SSA, this way I move without any restrictions, including having to have a bean counter.
So the new PSR shows up. First this guy is a joke. Used to be that all these PSR's had to have a BA or MBA, in brainiac examination to even be considered to being a PSR. However with the pickings so slim, as in just about everything else in the burg of Twin Falls, really qualified PSR's are slim and none, so Medicaid, relaxed the requirements and so we have, fast food workers and others out here farting around messing with people' lives and minds. This is a recipee for a disaster. I can see some really messed up people becoming even more messed up.
So I escaped for a short to the Mall. Got my Subway BLT and was just checking out the scenery , including a ton of babes, seems that there's going to be some sort of fashion show, out there next week, and yes some investigation in booking a few for the club is in our plan.
So Charlie calls, asked me where I'm at, eating lunch at the Mall, so the new PSR shows. It wasn't just eating at the Mall, I'm just not really ready for this guy to be in the Lair. I'm going to know this guy from front to front before he enters the Lair. So we visit, in came a couple of guys from the USMC recruiting command. Right away they knew who I was, saluted as they knew I was a full Eagle, (Colonel) the new PSR, found out fast that what I am saying is right on the mark. 
Finally the dude leaves and watered down Mello Yello, I hit the road coming back to the Lair.
First this new PSR hasn't got the gonads to be my PSR, nor is there much of anything common ground to build on. Bottom line this guy is a forkin dork, and it ain't got many miles on this venture. 
Keep it tween the ditches.

Show me a hero, I'll prove he's a bum-Pappy Boyington.

No work or just picky?

No work or just picky? I garnered from NPR last night on HazzardAyre Radio, that there are people at fast food joints wanting a pay raise to $15.00. Really, there goes the nearly none existent dollar menu. The real complaint? No well living wage jobs. Really?

Sitting here in Twin Falls here we have a set of jobs, in the starting wage spot of $20.00 an hour sitting on one butt pushing buttons and yapping on radio. While mostly hiring women as that’s the most difficult, to recruit, why recruit. From the pissing and moaning of many with low wage jobs, if they’re willing to nuke burgers at McDonalds, hey they do not cook on a grill to perfection well done at McDonalds nor Burger King, its nuked. But doing that at $15.00 an hour as they want, and yet we’ve been sitting for what 2 years now with on air jobs here at HazzardAyre and we can’t get anybody? Its not that there is no work, its that all too many have so many support programs taking care of their basic needs the notion of upgrading themselves is beyond comprehension.

If Uncle Sam said, hey here’s the deal, we’ll feed you, give you limited funds for housing and not put a cap on anything you mAke in a job, bet you a tank of go fluid that these picky bastards would give up sitting on their butts and get to work.

Of course there’s the intelligence level. Few people have their elevators going to the top floor, even fewer even getting off the starting line.

I had to really explain things step by step to this little filly from NPR, on a connection issue. Damn lets get these idiots educated.

But the excuse that there are no good paying jobs is just that an excuse to sit on your butts. My Mom said it best, if you want to get on your feet, get off your butt.

Going where its unsafe

When I read about or occassionally happen to tune into the morning broadcasts from the River on Sunday mornings , and hear all the lovely things, I think, what about the not so lovely? What about those that are very rough around the edges?
Let me give you an example.
There's a very old man who walks by my house every day. He's got to be around 68 maybe 75 years old. So thin his bones are nearly tearing through his skin. He wears the same threads every day, and his only request is, for a few cents a day for a cup of coffee. Well instead of just coffee money which I give him, I also give this old man a bite to eat, and while he is eating I read from Gods word. 
Now there are those from the River Fellowship that would never go around or near this old man. If they didn't shun him, they'd seldom give any real love to this old guy. Why do I do it? Simple, Jesus never just held to those that were already saved or that just were so called safe. I've seen serpents in suits and ties, even some women who dress up all nice, driving fancy black suv's , who just play it safe. Naw Jesus meant for us to reach out to those who are in real need and extend his love through us to those that are not so saved. 
It's like my dear friend and bean counter Charles. 
At first glance Charles has everything one could hope to have, successful business, great family, great house, plenty of money the works, I remind him , that it can be gone in a flash. One mistake, one health problem, even a death in the family, and your collecting benefits from the state and getting SSI and VA benefits. 
That's my situation. Sure I bust ass for the club every day, sure I use their funds, although I have to account for every penny, but at the end of the day, I still look at these near bare walls, all alone. Just like that old man does. 
I once had the gift of wealth. In fact wealth far exceeding even that of Charles. The biggest if not one of the biggest homes in the valley, on one of the choicest parcels of land in this area. All the trappings of a millionayre. Car, truck, business. Mom & Dad and I. Then Dad died, then mom, and if it hadn't been for the club, I'd have went nuts. That's a story for another time, but thankfully the club, kept a hand hold to me. Even on my three combat tours in the Marines. The club kept in touch. Just as Jesus did, I reach out to those needing saved and taught Gods word, and shown Gods love, through me, not just those already saved and content. 
Just like my friend and distant club sister Nancy. After the deal with the Durango, and since, can't and haven't seen her once. Same goes with any of the River. Is that a way for those who claim to be one of God's people? Of course they are, thing is. God didn't just hang with those already in his group. He reached out to those that hadn't yet discovered God, and even those who had , that were none active. 
In God's eyes, we are to forgive, and go out of our way to be with those, who might smell so bad it makes the hairs on your arms curl, but to offer one of those a bath and a meal, while you teach Gods word, is what doing Gods work is all about.
Sometimes, you need to get out of that comfort zone, go talk to our riding brothers and sisters, go out and work with those truly in need, and even go out and talking to those who have shunned us, or those we have shunned and saying, " I forgive you, God and I love you, sharing a soda, and giving of ourselves. " Just like it was for me and as I remind both Jared and Charles' bunch, it can all be gone in a flash. Just like my mini empire that I'm working to rebuild. After Mom & Dad died, little by little it got chipped away, before long it was gone. I moved to Boise after being conned out of my place near Hazzard, lost my General Lee, all while I'm in the Marines. I get back to discover it all gone. What I was left with is two tired older trucks, a few clothes, but what they couldn't take away was the love of the club and God, through which through both, I'm rebuilding,. Despite the resistance of some others, like that Christy, and all. Another example, that Pastor Bacon, said on several occasions, that he wanted to have lunch one day. Guess that was an empty promise. Not for me to deal with. That's God's call but if one is of an authority of God, should he not , try to reach out , drive over here to the Lair and say lets go have a cup? God didn't mean for us not to have trials, or to just play or be with those saved or where its SAFE, God did mean for us to reach out from our happy place and go where its unsafe, perhaps the soul you really save is not the poor old man's, but yours as well.
