Grab a root , growl and hold on

Grab a root and growl, and hold on. If you have a good company name, don’t just register it in your states registration office, but please do, register it and copyright it for tomorrow some damn vulture will grab it. Then its not just them going under or getting sued , but you too simply by name familiarity or such. Dig this, I just Googled some of our subsidiary companies of towing here in the Mountain West, and oh yes you can bet your next DOT inspection some people at that state registration office is going to get a real call in the morning.

As I looked, nearly 4 out of the 12 we have still running are being used by someone else. Did not the who ever in Boise, even look to see if any body else was using those names? This again is going to cost money. Again it gets back, can’t people be original anymore? For that matter why keep copying us and my company all the damn time? This is what I liked about Utah. Down there for right at $30.00 you go to the Heber Wells building, go in and register the name of your company as well as all your subsidiary company names. That registration is good for 5 years.

Again Idaho while it has its good parts is also very bassackwards. Now I have the unpleasant job, of going to the attorney, and suing all these companies that decided one of my company names was ripe for the picking after I went into the Marines and did service in Iraq, and elsewhere. You see why we have this organization? To help returning vets with these kinds of things.

Here’s another piece of information this morning, was looking things over in the Deseret News out of Utah, both office space for the studio for HazzardAyre was less expensive, but found a studio apartment down there for $450.00 a month, that all I gotta do is move me and my dishes and trucks. The place even has a new bed, and the works. I might be outta here sooner than thought will keep all informed. Dig this the Apartment is in Layton.

All I can say to ya’ll if you have a company name that could and mostly will be copied, get it trademarked and copyrighted. The damn dull headed vultures will surely steal it.

The BIG question? Why?

Not perfect but better than it was.
Congradulations and salutations to the crew at SpeedConnect. Not only did one of their techs show up today, but reinstalled a new modem. Is it perfect? No, is it at least 10mps or better? No , but I did get through a few hours of my radio shows without too many hiccups.
Want to say to the Idaho State Police, Valley County Sheriff's office and FBI, good work in finding and execution of the rescue of the little girl kidnapped from San Diego CA, but executing the perp. They did the job right.
As I look at RFDTV while we ran the news conference on the kidnapping, I wonder why on FamilyNet they put on some of the worst, worn out shows of any kind of TV. The shows should remain regional and local, like Midwest Country. Who cares about that? Lets have a real show, like the Dukes of Hazzard, BJ & The Bear or something. The reason, those two shows will not be seen on RFDTV, is because Daisy Duke wears her shorts and the hotties on BJ & The Bear.
The ads and all from around and in Branson, am I going to drive or fly from idaho to go do the stores there? My question the BIG question I need to ask Patrick and the staff there is, WHY?
There is no sense, common or otherwise there. Not saying that Rural TV, RFDTV and/or FamilyNet don't have good people, not saying all together that they don't have a good farm news report during the week days, hey I watch it. Mostly cause I don't have much choice right now, but overall, RFDTV's networks need some real eye opening on how to program a TV network. Let's just hope that now that they are on SiriusXM, the do better with Rural Radio.

Any way thanks to SpeedConnect, its working good now, this just sabed, me at least for a few months, from having to spend $350.00 a month.

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.
