Flying is the secret

I got an unintended backdraft from a former thorn in my side about how can you be in Utah at a funeral, with both your rides in front of your house? Simple, remember I fly. A quick ride in a TAXI company car that we toew for, to the airport here in Ogden, a flyte plan filed and our Bell 406 is in the air. Land at Twin Falls, again a car ride to the house, do what I need, then do it all in the same order in reverse.

When you learn to fly the world opens up to possibilities that you never imagined. Be it fixed wing or chopper and I’m not talking choppers with two wheels. Two maybe 3 hours at the most depending on weather, and its breakfast in Scottsdale Arizona, or lunch in Burbank that is if you can afford the fuel which is right at $8.50 to $10.00 a gallon. It takes just under $1,500.00 to fuel our birds. The one 406 Bell is on alert for med flights the other for SAR missions. The rest are open shell choppers made for chemical application of farm products. The fixed winged byrds are three Air Tractors, with a new one just ordered. The final is one that is flown the least, except for air shows. LuciBelle>not LexiBelle> is a WWII F4U Corsair we built at our hangar at Bountiful SkyPark, three years ago. It is owned in part by AyreWolf Aviation, and the AyreWolvez Aviation Association.  But that’s how I’m able to transverse the two areas without running in a car. Oh and if your wondering why I don’t just fly to see Eli, I don’t know where the closest airport is to him, and both 406’s have to remain in our area for their intended SAR work. The other reason, both the Air Tractors are not set up for passengers, nor cold winter flight. It damn cold up there. But a brisk flight on a bright morning just as the sun crests the Wasatch range at 10,000 feet is an experience one has to be hold.

I discovered a Canon GL-2 on Ebay, and am looking for another. The reason? So I can take good video to show ya’ll I’m not blowing smoke that I fly. Those members of the club know better, but we have doubting Thomas’s and Betty’s out there that call such things into question. My weight restriction has been lifted for regional flight, but not trans-con flight until I get a review from the FAA on both my diabetes and sleep apnea situation. That’ll require some seat time with a CFI, and that’s numero uno why I’m frothing at the prop, to go to Utah to Upper Limit Aviation there. To qualify, for all my flight upgrades I have to loose 40 to 50 pounds. So on a very strict diet.

But now you know.

Next entry the ayre show for 2014 and the Ayre half of HazzardAyre.

It’s nice to have more than one place to have breakfast on a Sunday morning.

I woke up just a few ago here at Sam’s house. The guest house he put me in is nice. Not as spacious as my domicile in Tweaker Flatts, but livable. Not that Sam is ready for me to rent it as his son lives in most of the time, but for Tim’s burial and all here I sleep.

It’s nice to have multiple places to get a egg and toast than one lowly dive like in Tweaker Flatts.

So I was having my meal, and was tuned in on a conversation in a booth just over my shoulder. Something to do with a gifted teen, asking is there such a thing as a real ANT farm, program in any school?

So I went home and Googled, I know a information source that has become a mission of ignorance since there was no results, except reviews of the Disney Channel TV show.

I can remember in the mid to late 60’s early 1970’s, Hazzard High had something like the gifted program, Supplemented by a Montgomery Foundation grant and funding from the Department of Education from the Feds.

The main source there was albeit prehistoric by today’s standards, but a visual production facility with enough gear to establish a TV station. Funny that never happened. The real reason that program, succeeded was Mrs. Hobson. She ran that facility ran better than the proverbial Swiss watch. The end here of this story there was one. The question is, is there real ANT or Advanced-Natural-Talent programs in today’s schools. if not , why not?

With a Federal holiday, and I can’t imagine why, but Martin Luther King Junior day is Monday, so no funds available from Charlie, and even if he cut a check couldn’t cash it anyway, so I am staying here another day.

For those that need to know, Tim’s Funeral is Tuesday 2:00PM(14:00_) at the 11th Ward LDS Church on Gordon Avenue in Layton. Let’s see a full showing guys, Tim was a cool guy in many ways.

Family and I are getting ready for church, first time I been in an LDS Church in ten years. Hope the roof don’t fall in and no lightning strikes.

Talk at ya’ll in the PM.

The Reaper is gone, we live the life of Qunos

As I sit here this morning while this house is silent and I slave away at the keyboard, holding my head with one hand, too much of a warriors departure to Stovacore, at Warren’s Burgers in Roy Utah last night and way too much at the Sheep’s Pen last night, the yearly Knytes-of-Anarchy Officers Summit for the Mountain West Charter, took place and I’m excited of some of the changes, although its going to compound my work load. I really need office help. Any mile, the one thing that we all agreed on was that its time to push out of the shadows of a soon to be exhausted TV show, and its imagery.

In a year, Sons of Anarchy will be done. About a year or so after for many it will be forgotten. While the image of the Reaper is and has been center focus of much of our clubs graphics its time to shed that.

The real organization is more aligned with the philosophy of Quonos or for the unknowing Klingon thread. Our rights of passage or escalation of members to points of power in the club, our blood ceremony, all of that is of Qunos teachings and folklore. So we are recreating our center image from this> to this>. Beyond the symbolic changes coming to the club, is it has been tried before without much success but again we will grind away, to make it happen this year. The club even as the Hazzard Knytes, never has had a set of bylaws, or constitution carved out nor a written code of ethics or even club history. To whit we shall begin that process. Much of this is to obtain a real to life 501-3-c none profit tax structure. Reason being the club in all its aspects and aspirations and subsidiaries, is aiming to get away from the so much outlaw ways and more in tune with legitimacy. While some protectional and honor guard procedures will remain , there are some things we as a whole organization of 50,000 want to begin to distance ourselves from. Additionally re-establish our young Knytes group aka, TeenAge Truckers Association, to begin bringing in a new crop of young Knytes from off spring of current club members.

I will say that after 8 baskets of those luscious beer battered onion rings at Warren’s my inner stomach wants to put much of my insides into the bog.

Before I go, this morning to get some sleep for the run back to Idaho. First as I have been reporting the club’s radio media werx is still poised to move to Ogden next month. However due to my commitments here and some mechanical vehicle restrictions for a few months I wont be. I’ll just commute betwixed Tweaker Flatts and Ogden.

Last, yesterday while I waited for Wolf-Pup to get back to Tweaker Flatts from Buhl so I could come here to Layton to help arrange things for Tim’s burial , I took the General over to Charlies, mainly looking for an empty gas can to get some go juice to fire LexiBelle up with. Once I got to the yard, Charlie needed a cb R&R’d to a truck along with antenna and all. The wiring was simple, but the getting up and down in trucks with all to narrow steps, and contorting to get hands into places for wiring, I used body parts and muscles I haven’t used in months. To whit body is sore.

Any mile need to catch some z’s , see you in the eve, Oh and to Eli; need to do our test fire Monday, as I need to catch some $’s from Charlie to buy that wire we need.

So lets do our HazzardAyre test fire Monday evening.

When death comes cheer the reaper, don’t be sad.

Its finally still here at Sam’s house. Madge, Sam’s old lady is making something good on the stove for night meal, and I finally get to chat at least through this medium with ya’ll.

In our way of thinking. A Knyte always cheers the day of death. As we say , today is a good day to die. Why be bitter about it? After all we all are going to Stovacore someday, might as well have a good trip. As far as those we leave behind? They should celebrate our life, as best as they can, cheer and howl that one of our brave warriors is on his way, and then drink red wine as a symbol of our friends departure and his next great ride in the other dimension.

Okay then , I’ll dispense with the situation for a few centons and get into a bit of personal reflecting.

I myself am still looking at a move from dear bassackwards Idaho, but not now. Oh yes the radio werx will as planned, be transplanted to Ogden, wired to Comcast, and a microwave link to a big stick, next month, but right now from many areas I can’t just pull up stakes and vamoose. First there is LexiBelle, that while albeit marginally , but is legal to run in Idaho. Both mechanically, as well as structurally. But she needs some tweaking first to run 300 miles. 4 times to move everything and that’s if I can find a place large enough that I can afford to live in that I can have all my rides in one place. Next is Wolf-Pup. Still good for the go, but a leaking main seal, no muffler, no parking brake, and really fuggled up windshield, I’d make it 20 miles in metro Utah traffic before I’d get cited or put out of service. Then there’s the General Jackson. And that’s the short list. Plus by government requirements, need to find a bean counter in metro Utah, to handle my funds. I’d rather be under Charlies roof locating that, rather than just dump him and be SOL. So in order, move the radio werx in February, then me in late April early May. Commute between the two either by the General Jackson or via The Lady.

One has to understand, of all the people I have known, been associated with, and have done business with. Charlie is not only my boss, on his clock, my bean counter, but Charlie is one of if not my best friend. In a year, albeit through hell and back, I’m a hellova lot better than I was in some ways, except for not having my own shop, but better off than I was in Burley. The club is beginning to heal, and don’t forget, DukesFest West/Hazzard Nationals end of next year.

I’ll be back online at around 21:00, but I’m going to eat, put my feet up, and get some shut eye.

Oh and yes I’ll get into the Nurse GoodBody going Jewish.

And if ya’ll really want to know a plus, Charlie hired this really hot fox to drive rollback for him. She’s a real hottie. I want to see where that could go as well.

Back on board on HazzardAyre

Back on board HazzardAyre. Seems like the last few weeks been bouncing all over the different news outlets of the club. But dig this every one of the entries were once a section or column in the Hazzard County Gazzette, that today we simply call HazzardAyre News.

Year was 1998 , I had stupidly moved back to the Tragic Valley becuzz the Montgomery Foundation had the slim shot at regaining the old homestead near Hazzard. I was drowning the dust off of the roof of my mouth at the Y, now Outlaws and Angels, and caught this little want ad paper, called Monkey Bizzness , printed out of Gooding by 3-0-3 Printing, for a sweet heart named Mickey. Mickey exchanged ad space for the club and my shop for articles. When the chance to buy Monkey Bizzness came around, I did, and changed it to our original printed paper the Hazzard County Gazzette and that’s the end of that story.

Made the connection for the new HQ for Confederate Steele Media the clubs, media werx, but am finding difficulty in moving me fully to Utah. The first thing that hinders that, I move, I loose Charlie. As it is, Charlie is my main bean counter and distributor. Which is why if someone wants money from me, it comes at the 1st, when the Marines pay me, the 5th when Social Security pays me, or the 20th when I split Dixie earnings with A1 earnings and pocket the difference. Now this month was none too good. First I spent way too much on a seatcover that I thought would be good eye candy and on air, person, but turned out to be a real vixen in denim. Bought her 4 packs of smokes, but she did have this radio board in her basement. I got a full featured console for $20.00 , my question is, is it hot? Gave the serial number to a cop pal of mine he’s checking. Once I know, finding a box big enough then sending it to Eli.

But that $20.00, plus the $116.00 I had to pay to Syringa, that I’m looking at not doing anymore, since the damn service is damn selective as to who can text me and who can’t, maybe its time for a new phone. So been on the lean side. To the point I’d kill for $5.00 right now nicotine withdrawl and all. Oh well Pay day Monday. Then I can get that wire that Eli needs me to get and Monday night we might just have a test fire of HazzardAyre Radio.

I’d do it today, but as soon as I get my car back from down in Hazzard, where a gal pal is using it, I’m headed to Layton. Sam’s brother Tim, bought the sand last night. No I’m not being disrespectful, but here was two people sharing I-80 west of Tooele, Tim had done a gig at a party at Skull Valley, was on his way home, one of our other members didn’t see him in his mirror, and caught Tim between his hind tires on his rig. Both Knytes, so its hard so I’m being smug, you can’t be mad at either one, shit happens, especially out there. Maybe the club needs to breathe life back into Teddy Bears there.

Any way what can you do.

Next time, Nurse GoodBody goes from Christian to Jew, maybe that’s the problem.

Who called it a Fish Taco the first time?

Calling a she wolf’s coochie a Fish Taco, is like calling a modern youths speech Pig Latin. First I do not think a pig from Mexico is going to squeal any different than that of a pig in Montana. More over a woman's crotch is not going to look or smell like a fish taco. The odor if it is indeed odor is stale urine smells, or one damn unclean coochie. But the question on the table is who called it a fish taco first? More over why? First if it looks like any kind of food it most looks like a dried up peach pit. or at least a discolored prune. Closed most looks like two buns waiting for the hot dog(I know it is) . But that’s the food images, so why call it and who called it a fish taco?

With that in mind I went patrolling the cyber highway looking at a few ratchet jaw sites like Google and Bing and all I got was a few images and what amounts to, as distant stares, from any other cyber highway exit that may contain a true origin point.

As with so things no Cyber road spot, gave any intel on the subject. While it may be connected to the concept that the slang term for the same region of the female anatomy, is pussy, and cats and cats love fish, that may account for the terms origin, outside of that why? I even asked Britt, why, she said it smelled like rotten fish. Okay rotten fish, but where did taco come from? A taco has lettuce and tomato in it. Now on the food side, Fish Taco’s are pretty tasty. With the right dressing, and extras they are down right delicious. I know guys so are the bad smelling ones, but we digress. Where and who said the slang term Fish Taco first?

In closing , want to just say thanks to Britt, who in fact has agreed to be my finance officer/Payee, so off to a good start. On that and we’ll leave it there, if certain other conflicting situations were not in the mix, it would be so easy for me to just tell Britt, I’m hers and be done with it. but she has her guy, and her little one is purtty cool. So I at least have someone outside of Charlie with a clean record, to take of the Government funds, for me any way. If you don’t think this will be a shot heard around the town and region I got news for you.

Big day yesterday, got church this morning then church tonight, going to see if I can take Britt and her little one to Sunday night services. Might could open an eye or two, don’t ya’ll think?

Here’s the strange on strange Tweaker Flatts

25 days and counting. The clock ticks. Papa Wolf used to tell me, time waits on no one. All too many new hires always start getting into the when do we get paid stuff. My answer is only, I can only pay you for billable hours, and I don’t plan on doing the taxi cab thing, I’m not going to chase you down, and I damn well am not going to beg. My view no matter who it is right now, is simple, on the 25th my ass will be damn near out of here. On the first I’ll be here long enough to get checks out, clean the house, give back Charlie his key, turn the power back into his name and I’m out of here,. Then there’s Penny over here at the gas station. Smart as a whip. Not always so innocent words either, She sounds like a sailor, and its natural . She’s looking to coming on board the local branch of HazzardAyre. There are a few more looking, now that the word is rolling around that I have thrown up my hands and am just simmering ready to get my butt out of here as of the first. I don’t even care if I have to go to Ogden, and sleep into the new office should I miss the 15th deadline for submitting money to my new landlord. Thing is I’m outta here. I’ll pay Britt for the radio console, if she’s here to work she’ll get a pay check on the 3rd, If not she’ll get a fair price for the console, but by the 5th of February, there ain’t no more AyreWolf in Idaho, this old wolf will be done gone.

Now then am I stupid about why gals worry about their money working here? No, but then too , I’ve seen outfits with fancy offices and all but owe their souls to the local bank, too. The Knytes just have not seen fit to spend money on a place, and one of the new hires screwed the pooch on the one place we were looking at so now got to go smoke one out, that’s affordable. But either way I’m out of here come the 5th of February if not slightly before.

Britt texts me wondering how much her check is going to be at the end of the month. That depends Britt, how many hours are you going to be here? How much time you going to put in, in training? How many hours on air are you going to be here? If you’re here a good set of hours you get good pay, no hours or few, not so much money. Its that simple.

Like her house rent, If she’s our Financial operations person and all here, club pays rent. She don’t show or be here to get that done. Its her loss. I am no longer sweating it anymore. These young split tails want club money, be here to work and do the deets. If not, don’t come crabbing that you have little money. I’m not chasing people down, I’m not going like I said earlier, I’m not going to beg. I’m in the I flat don’t give a rats ass anymore. If you want to be part of HazzardAyre and want it to grow, then you’re here. if not, then don’t be boobing that you ain’t got money in your britches.

Taking it easy tonight since Britt didn’t show. More on that after I process my sugar from my trip to McDonalds.

L8R Ya’ll
