What we saw, what we didn’t see and what we wished we could have seen

It’s the holidays and except for seriously tropical season areas its also winter time. That means mucho TV time as many of us are indoors. There are the traditional TV specials that I try to avoid since they remind me of how much I’m all alone this time of year, more so than many, next year a bit different, I’ll be in Utah near family, but that’s another subject for another time. So I watch some of the pre premier TV shows. Networks, knowingly will throw out these teaser episodes to test reaction, they know too that your stuck at home watching TV. Out of the many two will not really gain traction. Mob City on TNT, a real dud. I saw all the hype of the show right before Thanksgiving, but found the real thing not worth watching, especially when TNT had to rerun the damn thing 12 times. Its just plain poop. I had thought they might have conjured up something near the Sopranos there. Naw, another Elliot Ness bio drama that just made me puke. Then came CBS, Hey I like Robin Williams, and all but the new series another let down, not of Robin Williams level of perfection. This thing sucks, Michele Geller and Williams are okay, but the rest of the casting, comes of of 30 Rock and it smells like an attempt to remake 30 Rock. Out of an an ad agency drama. Speaking of ad agencies. Those paying dear money. First I’m not a Target Stores fan, Target Stores have said they hate our military. That said, of all the tender feel good ads, the one with the little girls setting up a trap to see Santa, then falling asleep in bed is so cute it almost brings tears to your eyes in a good way. Then for the not over the top rowdy ads, Harley made an ad where the herd of road bikes pulling the sleigh the snowman with chrome pipes belching fire. Real creativity. If either or both of these ads don’t bring a Cleo Award I’ll eat grits for a year without butter. Too bad we can’t get these kinds of ads all the time. Hey I dig racy and spicy, been told by many can’t air your ad its too much, ourselves, but I think ad producers all over are waking up to the idea, that you can be sensual , without being trashy, you can be the bad guy without women in skin tight leather as in the ad for Nationwide Insurance with the hot gal, doing a reverse B&E . Bet that suit smells like a spoiled fish taco, don’t ya’ll?

Of course I miss several things TV wise. But the worst is , no Hazzard County Christmas. I loved that episode at Christmas. The end segments were the best, Boss Hogg sitting down reading A Christmas Carol , then meandering over to the Duke farm with an arm full of gifts, and in the back ground you hear jingle bells and Waylon saying, look if it could happen anywhere , it would happen in Hazzard County. For a Duke fan, and Hazzard-ite like me that episode is Christmas.

Have a bunch of stuff to do today after Church, so that next year wont be like this year.

Talk to ya’ll L8R,

I must be getting old

I am really beginning to hate pure unadulterated stupid. Especially Yankee stupid.

I am still amazed at a crew that says they know me and the club all so well , yet haven’t a fricking clue. Example, and I don’t know how many times I have drilled this into their mini brains, but good ole Jared over at A1, kept talking about the club, of which he wouldn’t make a pimple on a clubs ass, but he kept referring to the club as the Sons of Anarchy, nice reference and all, but damn it, Son’s is on the fucking TV, Knytes are the real club, of which inspired Sons. But then like I say, brains don’t drain at all here, its like the water trying to drip down the frozen pipes here. So then got up this morning to eat some little mini cinnamon buns and catch TV, so during an all to often ad break, that included some more of those stupid, ads from Cable One, in which they say they don’t bait and switch. Bullshit. The ad is saying satellite companies don’t offer their ads, well damn it , neither does Cable-One. First, they claim 50 megs fast internet, your lucky if you get 30 most of the time and that’s download. I’d love to see that fast both ways up and down. Comcast can, but then in some ways, Comcast has troubles too, but at least you have a local area office to go rattle a brain or two, to get what you need. If I had a customer, that I signed up, that hadn’t paid the bill , especially a media company, I’d be on the phone asking what’s up then work to remedy the situation. More over see if there was a barter that could be done. Say forgive the three months in advance for a years on air OUR air ads. That’s the deal that’s struck with the rest of the TV and such stations using Cable-One business. More people listen to us than any other here, we’d be a good bargain.

So I took my break from TV, to check my email. Of all the accounts, our Yahoo account would not unfreeze. Kept saying my password wasn’t right. There are times like that, if I could, I’d like to drive or fly to Yahoo’s HQ, walk in, grab one of those little fartknocker hardly dry behind the ears people at Yahoo, and say this is the fucking password, I signed it up with now fix the fucking problem. Of course can’t do that, but my I’d like to. And they wonder why I don’t and the club don’t spend no ad money with them. Computers are great but I can’t wait until we have Star Trek level computers. Not these prehistoric critters we have today.

Haven’t heard from our two website builders. The kid that was going to be an IT tech bugged out, and as far as Mac, who owns the shop that HCC was going to be housed in, ain’t called. Doesn’t he realize we are the only ones that will rent that thing? Guess not.

The fact that the only time I ever want to see this miserable area in my windshield after the move is if I have to somehow come here on a toew. Beyond that, Idaho is going in my rear view mirror, not the other way.

Any mile much to do.

L8R Ya’ll

To Heck with Obamacare and the Website, lets look at quality healthcare.

I have been hearing along the beltway and so on yonder about all this mess involving Obamacare, and all, but I’d like to look at quality healthcare. Lets see if the effort is worth it.

Now there are times being poor does have its advantages. After all I get Medicaid, but what about others? More over health care providers on two areas. First of all basic medical. In the bottom of June this year the news I have type 2 diabetes, was bad enough. So Doc Nofziger sets me up with St. Luke's over here, I go in, meet with some gal for two months. There’s a piece here coming on this as well, but My PSR moves to Boise, I get a new one, after that the visits to and calls from both Doctor and St.Luke's Diabetes center went sour. For a time we were meeting twice a month, then it was once a month. Now I’ll be damn if I know when to go see em. They used to call a day before to remind me of the appointment, I have yet to get a phone call. But both tax payers and all are paying for this, the question is for what? Fat cows that sit behind a desk, and don’t call patients? How hard can it be to remember 212-WOLF as a phone number?

Then it comes to mental healthcare. Really, quality ? I’d like to see it. First there is this outfit I have been with since 2009 called Alliance Family Care. Had a guy PSR, that at first thought needed a bit of reprogramming himself, but over time he got better. We had similar backgrounds so it worked. Then August he splits with only a week or two introductory session. Really? Mark and I never really connected. The guy could never remember important dates, never did go over treatment plans, and when they failed to connect me with our Nurse GoodBody, as my PSR I dropped em. So I signed up with another. They told me they would call a day before. No call. And yet I think I have a appointment at 14:00 today. We’ll see. But I think if your thinking of dropping the fuss on good old Obama and his website, I’d like to ask in either case, what the hell are we paying for?

Granted my PTSD is mild, and I’m only going through the mud of this to retain my benefits as well as get same benefits being dealt to me direct without a trustee, but what if I were a returning Vet from all points mid east? Or all military with even worse conditions? What is the quality, or for that matter quantity of services or service providers? Is it too much to get the care we pay for?

The healthcare overhaul needs to go past the price being paid as to what we are really paying for.

Pay attention this might upset a few people Including Zeb at the Ranch

A little more do as you preach not just that I preach and am stuck up and very inhospitable after.

One of my former radio colleagues , Zeb Bell was on his blog that I started to read. In it was he says he’s taking down his American flag, defending his right to sing the Star Spangled banner and so on. In the end of it he said, take a look next door , see if there’s someone that could use a meal, tank of gas etc. First if you did that someone might sue, but even so, if you think truly that Zeb Bell or any of his followers will really do that, I’ll personally buy you a steak dinner from my SSI money. WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Oh Zeb , my address is 120 Washington, here in Twin, lets see if you bring Me anything, I could really use it. If ya’ll hold your breath for Zeb to bring mE anything , you’ll turn blue first.

HazzardAyre always has been for defending ones right to fly our flag, in fact both American Flags, Our Stars of Dixie and Old Glory. I say lets sing both anthems at events or just when we wake up. HazzardAyre has been saying yes to prayers in schools and elsewhere. Including church. Just like the other night on one of those talent shows, one of the Judges a country singing star decided to take God and our Lord as well as Jesus out of two songs. Country really did go anti God and more pop. Which is why the Southern Rock belts out here on HazzardAyre.

Of course there are those news and other types, that are so pleasing out in the public at say a news worthy event, or on camera, but get em off camera and out of the TV studio or radio studio, and they turn into Diva’s as well as pretentious prick heads. Not realizing its us the public that makes it to where they have that house and all they live in , plus that albeit low on the stick, local fame.

From the time Kim Lee’s Dad let me in a radio studio, to the hours on KSOP in Salt Lake City as well as the real KATT Kountry, in Salt Lake City, to Hazzard County TV in Pocatello, out of the studio I am just me, humble and proud to be that. Since the only person, worth real praise is our Heavenly Father and his son, our brother Jesus Christ.

I found this out, several of the Divas and jerx I met at that Canyon Jump meeting a few weeks ago, in Twin Falls here, not have really continued any kind of dialog. So often there are all these stories on how someone or some company comes to this area and kicks butt. But how about doing a feature on a business or a group, having to move everything to salt Lake City because of better infrastructure like a better broadband bandwidth internet connect that costs less, office space and commercial space is less, and human resources are greater. There’s a lesson there, think we could get a story up, about why Idaho is loosing jobs and residents? Lets paint the real picture. Yes I try to do overnight every night, but someone like Stephanie Zepelin from CH7 Boise or that hot one from KMVT that interviewed me the night of that press conference presentation.

Bottom line do you really care for your fellow person, will you truly give something to someone in your neighborhood that could use it? Or do you squawk at church or the coffee shop but are too really too self centered to do anything. In fact seems as the only ones doing anything for anyone toys, and charity this time of year is of course, us, bikers, including the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

Oh an yes, media types, if your really barking about being warm and kind, be that way, not just pretend or act it on TV or on the radio, then become a Diva and stuck up cowboy living in Murtaugh.

First they hated us, now they want to be one of us: John Teller

Out of Anarchy comes order:AyreWolf

Wolf with a Story A time better remembered

There are friends and times that at the time were considered endless. While the feelings are there in the present, the depth of those feelings and presumed brotherhood, get rather foggy.

Yesterday I took a run with our are President Ricky, to Vernal Utah to take a big payloader there.

We got there, and had to haul the big mammoth ma chine on the back of a truck that while trying real hard was not being acclimated to the task.

Going going to and on our trip home Rick and I talked about many things , including of course the club.

His view of things, is the same thing that I felt in 2008, and why the club regrouped under the Knytes-of-Anarchy rather than the Hazzard County Knytes. Like the TV show that as one half of the clubs core foundation, Hazzard County in fact much of DOH, has little fuel in it any more. While the fan base is still there, even given the fact that the larger club’ President is Ben Jones, the question is, when was the last time the Hazzard Knytes ever gotten a check, from the national organization ? In 2008 we regrouped with the ideas of what the other half of the Hazzard Knytes was based on, a real custom big truck 10,000 GVW and heavier commercial truck custom/classic group. With the basic tag being truckers are bikers with more wheels and steel.

So Rick and I talked. His attitude towards the club are in my mind on two fronts, excommunicate Rick as a member as well as maybe its time to flat consider that the Twin Falls area charter would be best denounced and re-establish the Charter in either Pocatello or Idaho Falls, or at least beef up those two sub charters.

Some of what Rick said yesterday makes sense. Lets face it, many of our projects have come to dead ends, not winners. Aside from the radio station project, the bars, Pin Up Calendar, Videos etc, are projects that if done by anyone else might get off the ground. But not us or at least done by us.

So what do you do? Quit? Maybe but only partly.

Yesterday, going up to Vernal, I took special mental notes of a whole new bunch of territories. Many of which we just barely touched on, and many never before explored.

Now then the Utah promise is no longer a maybe if idea, but a definite lets get the Wolf-Pack up and ready and get out of here.

Now the Knytes itself will live on and prosper , but I don’t see it in western Idaho. But there is the Idea of rolling the Knytes and the AyreWolvez into one organization, and focus on vintage and classic military warbird aircraft, tbka (to-be-known-as) the AyreKnytes Aviation Association. Base the club in Utah and extend packs rather than charters as needed or that demonstrate the need and want of a pack.

Finally I’m pulling all the invites and ads for area help from all listings, retaining those we have , but no more. More over re-interviewing those that are already hired , and finding those that want to remain as well as those that are just kicking the tires.

I did extend the final deadline for Mandy until Tuesday since I was gone all day Friday on the run to Vernal, Utah, but beyond Tuesday, no show its going to have to be a it was nice, glad to know ya, see you around the galaxy.

Deadline nears

Last year this time I vowed that 2013 would be the year, a face and a body would be on TV and in print for the organization as well as Dixie Toewing/AyreWolf Aviation.

I searched over this damn area for talent to model with the trucks, the warbirds and to be a cover on all three websites. Here it is the freezing cold, snow on the horizon, and not one damn frame of film or tape, has been shot.

Added to that so far from having in radio talent for in the studio, that while we’ll do it and all, still its way behind the intended results. But as one much wiser than I said once, its not the shame of failure, that gets you, it’s the shame of never trying. A Marine never just tries we Git-R-Done.

Now two weeks ago, the weather was warm , still in sunshine, and with a posting for a bar tender, got a gal from Hazzard. Thought she’d be keen. After one trip to McDonalds, and maybe it was just hunger, but I’ll bet you your next oil change that she really did not want to be in the Wolf’s Lair, and the meeting more in public. When she said she was going for food, just should have excused her. But no, I went along. I am not one to let people buy meals for me at least not women, but she did. Wanted to reciprocate , but that did not happen. Once was good, then she came over took me for a beer, again she bought. Then finally the last big McDonalds meeting, I was wanting to buy myself a soda, but got pinched in the seat. Blocked path so while everybody else consumed , I got cotton mouth. Thing is I was promised and guaranteed by these women that they were all on board, ready to go the whole thing. If they weren’t, why tell me so? After all, by now I could have gotten in touch with both a modeling agency in Salt Lake City, which it looks like I’m going to have to do, a video crew from salt Lake which I knew we’d need anyway, but now I have to find an inside place that’s dry and warm to do the video. Plus I have missed the appointments of getting LexiBelle into AAA Autobody to get new skin and paint, over to the shop for lettering and mechanicals, and it’ll mean missing out on opening of toew season.

All for what? Being nice and accommodating. Naw this is not for me. In this world you get beauty, or brains and courage, but very rarely do you get both. I think I have that in Mandy and all, but Marine brother or not, If she don’t get in touch and secure her spot in our project by Monday, then I have to Hazzard Up, and say hey gal its been nice, nothing personal, but I have a business to run, and your hindering that business. Not that going toewing here in Tweaker Flatts and the area is all that important, as I plan on seeing this place just on TV in Utah somewhere by this time next year, but it’d been nice to make the $5,000.00 or so during the first few weeks of snow, on the opening of toewing season.

The only slim beams of light I see right now is the finalizing of getting the radio station not only on air but perfected and tuned by June, 2014 , and having Nurse GoodBody, help me secure my funds from SSA and the VA, so I can bow out gracefully as I can from both Charlie as well as Tweaker Flatts. I know that Charlie meant well moving me back here, but this area remains so messed up and here if you do not have the LDS House seal of approval, all you do is spin your wheels and not gain any traction for your action. While yes Utah is the LDS capitol , Utah is albeit not by much, but still is a bit more open minded that our area of Idaho.

Any way Monday is the deadline for Mandy and Bernadette, if they keep putting me off, then I need to say thanks but no thanks. Do the TV stuff and calendar come spring. and go from there.

When one Sheep jumps they all follow, Welcome to Idaho

So got up for nothing and stayed on station waiting for our Mandy, but again the poison of another is leaking into our Mandy’s field of view too.

Seems as though the same image I have as I was a kid watching those Basque sheep herders on highway 30 just north of Hazzard then, is as accurate today as it was then. The thing today its not sheep, but people. And when people start wandering off like sheep following the others, what happens then is one jumps off the cliff the rest follow, and the rest die.

Then there comes folks like my self and the rest of the Wolvez. We get in amongst the sheep , and immediately it’s a circle the wagons to protect the sheep, rather than understand a shake up is just what we need. Back when Obama was elected, although Bush was no prize I said that electing that guy to office was going to be a disaster, my predictions were true. But the entire nation lead by fear of keeping another crook in office followed like sheep to the shearing pen and Shazam you got shaved alright. Headed down the trail of economic collapse. The course then as now, The Confederate National Party, vote in the foot steps of Jefferson Davis, not Abe Lincoln. But did you listen? No. Then when it came to re-elect, faced with virtually no choice you re-elected Obama. You had a choice, again the CNP, but did you step out? No, just like a sheep, you followed the rest of the flock, and now your Government is shut off. What is it going to take for ya’ll to realize, you have only one choice? Vote CNP and join in on the Confederate Party ticket. Be a wolf not a sheep.

So then Mandy, don’t show, which means no Bernadette . No problem, I’m holding their spots open, as these two are good enough to to keep that spot open, but we have a whole new bunch of new recruits coming on board. My new housekeeper is also one heck of a go getter. She understands the club, more importantly accepts me as me, and that is important. She knows there is no hanky panky going on here, it’s a friendship with a job, and a career. Likewise, just like Nurse GoodBody, she applied, lived through the first battle, helped bail LexiBelle out of bondage, has stayed in the loop and while not always active in club business, we keep tabs with each other. As such she is going to work with a good firm attached to the club, and will eventually a PSR. My PSR. And she’ll be here with me for as long as I am in the area.

The main focus of the recruiting hiring efforts this last go round was two fold. One , entertaining a interview hiring process to determine if there enough qualified people to run two bars. One a GP (General-Public) establishment, and one directly for the club  for ones who ride on 2 wheels, as well as have wings(fly) . Out of that the other reason we recruited was to find a person, that could ride herd, on the area operation so I could get my butt out of the area, come May, so that this sub charter is not shut down when I do leave in May. So far on either the bar, nor a club sitter as it is, is not showing much more promise than anything else, but hey, maybe we can get someone out of the next group of recruits.

Then there is the issue of Knyte Guard Payee Services. If you remember I was looking into this, mostly from a self serving point of view, as I was dissatisfied with the one from BlackFoot who could not seem to get my program straight.

I thought and I find I’m not far from the truth , that there is many on Government incomes that are required to have someone else ride herd on their money, as it is determined or decreed that there be a person in charge of their funds.

As it is now, in the entire state of Idaho, there are two firms that do OTC Payee services, one only does it within a clinical environment the other(no longer accepting clients) does it with a limited if any staff, out of Blackfoot. For a whopping $40.00 a month.

Thought is with many military members coming home that will need this kind of service due to like me with PTSD and all that will need a Payee. Then there are those in worse shape that will and do need a dependable Payee. What if there was one? If you consider that roughly in Idaho, there is 75,000 people needing a Payee , and you charged half of what Rebecca in Blackfoot charges to do that, taking out say $200,000.00 for administrative costs, office etc. Your still looking at just over $1,million, 300,000.00 green stamps a month, not year, but a month. For just about two weeks of work. That ain’t too bad of an income. So you get a few stay at home moms, (or Dads) The Government checks come in, the bills get paid for the clients, their rents get paid, and utilities, and you disperse the rest of the money less the $20.00 fee for the service, and you have one heck of a gig. It benefits other people in need, greases the palms of the club in this case, and relief is felt for all.

This is something that the club has been wanting to get in motion, the bars and radio station , is the delivery method here. But did these gals stay on board? Nope just like sheep, one bailed the others while still not out of it, are one by one scampering away like deers in headlights.

When it comes to the Knytes of Anarchy, to learn all about us and what we do, its going to take more than a week and a half, and two McDonalds , one beer, one hot dog and a beer meeting. Its going to take a good month. But what do so many outside the club membership do. Just because I’m not driving something that I do not owe one penny on, and LexiBelle not looking too good right now, which is purely my fault I’ll get into why in another entry, and do not put on a shirt and tie or so called establishment, conformist uniform, I’m seen as some sort of predator , Remember my idea of just putting that on my forehead? Likewise the club is seen as some sort of sinister operation. The fact is, our aim is to improve lives, for our fellow military brethren , as well as champion the southern cause. Yes we are the Wolvez in amongst the sheep, and we’re damn proud of it, because if your going to shake things up, the best way is to get the sheep nervous. Problem is when one Sheep jumps they all jump.

Until next month in the Hazzard Gazzette,

Keep it tween the ditches,
