Same Road , different day

It’s Saturday the day of rest and original Sabbath day. So I do as I normally do, sleep all day, read my bible and church books and keep the day Holy. Occasionally go take a peak online then go back to reading.

Sometimes I’ll check Facebook and Yahoo and see something interesting or funny, but here lately it seems both are extremely lame, if anything on there at all.

D-Carters pics get too smutty, I’d like to see more tow trucks photographed, and a few of the big rigger appreciated a few of us driving the hook, this past week in some parts of the nation that loved the tow trucker.

Of course there was JunkYard Dolls, I looked but didn’t find it interesting. My question for most of those pages is, you’ll pose that way for free to near free, but you wont come out here and photograph with tow trucks for a $1,000.00 a day, amazing.

I guess I’m getting older, grumpier and more set in my ways, but I can report, my masculine equipment still works, woke up this afternoon and had a stiffy. haven’t had afternoon wood for quite some time.

Still can’t watch TV and some how this year I’m not really missing NASCAR and the 500. Last year, pretty much made me want to distance myself from that although I can’t cause being an old bootlegger gotta love stock cars, but the big money, the big fights, the big fines. Phooey I’d rather watch Mirinda at Magic Valley SpeedWay, running with Rebel Racing than watching Danica Patrick on FoX or the big races.

NASCAR has gotten stale, kinda like Facebook. It’s okay, but not enough panache to interest me much any more.

There ought to be a business version of Facebook, I know you say there is, its called LinkedIn but LinkedIn wants money to be part of that, any web page thingy that I gotta pay money for I ain’t interested in. I think , TV, and radio should remain free, to listen to and enjoy whether that’s on air or online, HazzardAyre Radio, still is free to listen to.

THE bottom line? Its a sharp looking tow truck of any size, or a gal in nylon stockings , and you have my complete interest. Finally saw some rather troubling images online. Some couple did a tow truck up like good old Cooter’s. Which I’ll remind all, both Ben and Alma are two of the dearest people to me that there is, Ben is still the President of the Knytes, but what disturbs me is when I see a tow truck other than mine. My old LexiBelle is the ONLY tow truck authorized and blessed by both Ben and Alma and the studio to wear the Hazzard Garage nameplates.

Finally, here at the Wentworth. I don’t know how this is going to play out, but Adam my next door neighbor sure has a bunch of company over on the weekends, but I wonder if his mother the property manager here, knows that her son is running a brawdy house here.

Too much noise.

No matter, I’m only here until I get things in order to go home to Idaho. I’m way too tired of Wyoming.

Last post of the night

As I get ready to turn in for night I am done with ragging on the Cable system here. I have said my piece and ready to move on.

I have been criticized for using what some call scantly cladded images for our website’ graphics. I’d much rather use just as pretty gals in more modest attire, if I could only find them. I like many whose blood does not boil every time they see near naked women, would just assoon get gals in cowgirl jeans, long dressy gowns, form fitting flight suits etc. How about fully dressed tight leather neck to toe for bike shots? I’d go for that. Lets face it, even some of the gals used on such action photos should not be in a g-string. Their bodies are just not that flattering, plus too much woman takes away from the rig or such they are posing with. The idea of a gal with a rig, warbird etc is to enhance, not dominate the shot, or pic. I did a shot once of a cheerleader that belonged to the Filer High School squad in Filer Idaho, with a customized IH pulling tractor. The white vinyl go-go boots and all complimented the tractor, but let the beauty of the tractor shine through.

EasyRiders along with others have gotten too smutty. Which is why we at Hazzard County Choppers will not sell EasyRiders Magazine anymore. Put some clothes on these gals, make the attire work with the theme of the bike, tow truck etc, not the other way around.

But alas we have to use what photos we can gather from online sources since nobody in our part of the country wants to do any photography for and with HazzardAyre.

As I close, I was reading in my LDS Priesthood book, about how quorum members are there to help each other become more united. I agree, the restriction of using fast offering money to bail out the radio gear in Woods Cross was a long stretch at best, and that radio gear is not seen as survival money, but it is my hand up , not a hand out, since the radio gear helps me earn a living outside of going towing. Additionally I don’t think everyone including our beloved Bishop who I think is a great person in every way, but I don’t think he gets the connection here of going towing and the radio station thing. The radio station is based on the basic premise of giving the over the road , long haul trucker and towing professional towing owner/operator a voice. Both over the air and on Internet radio. Yes of course southern historical preservation is part of our core mission, but both HazzardAyre and Dixie Diesel Radio was established as the western voice of the American Trucker/Toewer . To broadcast to truckers/toewers you have to be a trucker or toewer. Not just dress up like one and be a poser. That’s the connection I toew and do radio for others that truck and toew.

So I know that using fast offering money to bail out the radio gear might have been a bit askew, still maybe between many in that quorum could perhaps take up a collection, say 15 of our brethren at a $100.00 a piece would get the job done. I know there are a few in our Priesthood that could afford to help.

Any mile, going in, and to many who ask, yes I could really use my medication, which too along with my cell phone is sitting in that office in Woods Cross Utah, and yes I could use that lithium right now, just haven’t made the connection to the who that can prescribe and deliver that prescription.

Can these problems be fixed? If so whose going to pay for it?

Can these internet connection problems be fixed? The answer is yes, if you throw enough money at it, the question then becomes who is going to pay for it? The answer ? Just about everyone needing more bandwidth Internet .

Again we as a broadcaster as well as over the road towing organization, had these same problems in 2013, so we relocated to Utah, where most of the bandwidth problems ended. I had no problem in paying $200.00 for service as it was nearly goof proof. I can count on one hand only three times Comcast went down and none while we had the service with CenturyLink. That one I paid $175.00 a month for. In both cases things were so good I could do more than three things online at once without getting error or reload problems.

So I tuned into one of my archived shows on LiveStream, www.livestream.com/hazzardayre trouble was it’d go for a 20 minute run then have to reload, which gets to be one pain in my six(butt) . Here I’m studying my LDS Priesthood book, getting into a groove and my show had to keep reloading. So I checked my speed. 0.73 download. Really? Bottom line unless I see improvement here its going to be a combination of CenturyLink for phone and a T1 for Internet and Dish for TV.

Thing is though I wonder, how many of my audience is getting short changed here? I mean if I can’t load up my show and hear it full length, they probably means they can’t either. Which starts biting my wallet.

I have talked to at least 100 of the people in Evanston that I deal with on a daily basis. They all say the same thing, for heavy traffic internet, here there must be an improvement and most of that 100 are willing to pay $200.00 a month to see it happen.

Some of the higher up’s at AllWest need to drive out of Kamas Utah and come up here and fix the shortcomings or at least sell the system to some organization that can. Oh one of those interested in buying the system? The Knytes-of-Anarchy. Might as well, as we end up buying everything else and fixing it.

For the short term, I’m keeping AllWest for a internet connection, only for the time we need to get our own T1 connection up. The rest of it? Well Monday , I’m taking my cable unit to AllWest here and cancelling that out, since I can’t use it and setting up with Dish Network.

TTYLY

Just once I’d like to see a internet connection service do it right

Maybe it’s because I was babied, in the luxury of ultra fast barely tap, instant internet. Maybe its that I can’t understand why some companies will not invest in improving their systems to meet even moderate demand, maybe its all of that, but even doing something as simple as watching HULU, I can’t get through one program without the damn thing needing to reload.

It’s not always been this bad. I remember 10 years ago or so, when I was conned into doing up a project in CokeVille Wyoming, AllWest came over hooked me up, and stayed onsite until everything was working like it should. Even in drop dead 50 below zero, AllWest’ product kept going without any drop in signal or stamina quality. It was nearly that way when we moved the studios from CokeVille to Evanston. Back then you had two cable companies competing for your business. Now you have just one AllWest who has it would seem, gotten a bit too complacent and knows its them or DISH. TV wise I plan to go DISH, why? Simple, AllWest in converting to digital, has no more analog receiver boxes. You have to have a coax running in but no coax running out. I always thought one of the reasons that you bought cable was to keep old TV’s going, as the box did the conversion so you didn’t have to go out and buy a new TV.  As far as Internet, have to keep AllWest, since there is nothing else, but am looking into other options, like our own T1 for both radio station in town as well as here at the Wentworth. I’ll gladly pay $200.00 for a T1 if it means my content going down and back will go at the same 5X5 speeds that I had in metro Utah.

Not saying Evanston Wyoming, or AllWest is alone here.

In Twin Falls Idaho, my complaint was just about the same, pay a bunch of money for services that just flat were antiquated in other words obsolete, and no longer could carry the extra signals that growing communities will require.

The question and this complaint is not just mine. From every corner of the Union, I hear the same thing. Question is, beit , California, Idaho, or Wyoming, why doesn’t both large and small Internet Service companies up their game? Why not invest the money to run CAT 6 or 5 fiber optic where coax once was. If your going to service an area, for damn well , service it. Not just coddle it.

I used to praise AllWest all over the place, even saying AllWest could kick butt over Comcast should they step over the Wasatch range into the Utah metro valley, today I’m not so sure.

But again, its not just AllWest. Comcast, Cable-One, you name it, big, small corporate and independent cable/telecom/internet service companies are not looking into the crystal balls.

Oh and if your wondering here, yes the Knytes are looking into doing up its own Telecomm/internet service company, called HazzComm. Short for Hazzard Communications. Expect that here in about 10 years, yes it’ll take that long.

But again I ask, can we get better, if we’re willing to pay more?

Or are we as consumers paying more for less or poorer quality? About the only stream program I get without interruption is HazzardAyre Radio from Livestream. Oh it takes awhile to load, but once connected stays connected(www.livestream.com/hazzardayre) And after all when you are tuned to HazzardAyre Radio, who needs anything else? After all HazzardAyre is a product of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, mainly me.

is it possible to have brains with beauty?

Getting into a thread of conversation here, In my last post I mentioned that we are looking for photo talent for the shop, toew service and of course radio station/website. The ideal thing would be to find a few local gals with a extraverted personality that doesn’t mind doing a few things out of the box. With that said , and if I’m wrong I’ll gladly correct it, but any gal who has even the slightest amount of a WOW factor in their looks are often , not always, but often dumber than a bag of rocks. Of course hotties don’t need an education, or intelligence as their looks, gets them a guy, with money who will support them, no matter how many times she cheats on the guy. You know she will as most gals with a package is not satisfied with just one guy. Hey it’s the rule of the jungle.

Then you get the movers and shakers of the model talent world. I have met only a handful of gals in the pro model profession that has a brain that still function, which relates to my previous thread here, beauty does not apply to brains. The fluid gets frozen between the genitals and the mind.

For us I have only met a very few whose minds function. First of them all, is our Miss Dixie Diesel of 1993, she could out think and create faster than I could, we complimented each other well. Should have hooked up with her instead of Janice, then I would have never discovered the final frontier of Evanston Wyoming. We’d just be making children and building a super truckers radio media station.

Of course the second is, Erin> She came into our Gooding studio, did the foot kiss thing without a single hiccup. Again she offered , I should have caught the pitch.

After that was Meredith of Farmington Utah, not only eager but able.

The rest of what I have worked with either are sweet, or fugdugly , the fugdugly’ have brains just not body and sure enough , no legs.

Yes, if you want to get my attention, show me legs in stockings, and you have my complete attention.

So as I close, are there any gals with looks , that have intelligence? If so we want to hire you>

Until L8R

The world through a windshield

Okay so I don’t run freight on 18 wheels any more, I like snagging and dragging those behemoths out of snow banks or nudging them around the curves when they turn too sharp. Its either a SWIFT driver doing that or a WERNER truck, and to give equal time a UPS driver, either way CDL mills don’t teach driving skills.

First, does anyone at Wal-Mart like their jobs? Does anyone at Wal-Mart’ know where anything is at?

Went to the Evanston Wyoming Wal-Mart, to get some trash bags as the old Kat House here needs some clean up. So it took me an hour and 5 different customer service people to find the trash bags. Then I get to the checkstand. Seems as though this Wal-Mart considers everybody a thief since there are no self check outs at this Wal-Mart. You’d think I’d have interrupted this big gals feeding, she was there chomping down on a Subway sandwich, and decides at the last second she might be working and got through checking me out. Whew , worst of all this gal had crotch pit stink so bad, I don’t think Wal-Mart mandates those doing checkstands to shower before work.

While Wal-Mart may be raising their wages some, if I were Wal-Mart, I’d make sure the employees getting BIGGER pay checks ought to be worth the extra money.

So I squirmed out of the parking lot, going to Wal-Mart must be the only Friday night action here any more. Seemed everyone in town was there. There ought to be special parking for tow trucks and service vehicles. That way you would not have to walk a marathon just to get to your truck.

Then there’s the common courtesy thing. Was slowly cruising the connecting road to Front street, here was this gal trying to get her baby buggy and her across the street, and no one was stopping. Sure there was no cross walk there, but hey its snowing, its cold, for damn sure drivers stop for a minute, think could that be your wife and kid there trying to cross the street?

It’s starting to snow here in Evanston, Wyoming. First bit of it that I have seen for a week. Seems across the nation this past week, that’s what it all was, snow, ice and slyde off’s. This is where and when folks consider us in towing as essential.

Finally, can someone make a disposable razor that lasts longer than a week? The ones I bought a week ago are already starting to get dull, kind of like Facebook, and Yahoo. Good for a day, after that nothing very interesting.

Someone asked me again about the cheesecake we , rather I put on our web sites and all, there are several reasons for this. First eye candy gets attention, second men are men at least most of us and we like to see honeys. Hey we can’t play with em, but at least we can look. Third what I choose shots and photos that are similar to the pin up gals we saw on old warbirds and such. It just looks good. The answer to the question of why don’t we feature local real to life gals with our truck shots? Simple there are none in Evanston that will do that. Yet will wear skin tight spanx or such to the store , go figure.

Check this out> If you think you can sign up. $200.00 an hour.

Finally here where I live, I’d like to put up a sign that says , “wE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR FAT WOMEN, ONLY CURVY MODEL TYPES MAY APPLY” True nobody would live here any more , but if its true you reap what you plant, then dang it lets plant some hotties here at the Wentworth like Adam’s girl friend, she’s still hot.

From the WTF files

But we’re just a towing service, why is it always us? Seems as though I get that noise every day. We see things different here, problem is how can you try to improve a community, that hardly believes in itself any more. One of the biggest companies in town rents U-Haul Trailers and trucks, from HazzardAyre research we have found  its nearly 6 to 8 months from the time people turn in a trailer or truck from moving here, until they’re renting a trailer or truck to move out. Which is a shame. Being just an hour or so from Salt Lake City and only 45 minutes from famed Park City Utah, Evanston could, and I say could be a meka for tourism, and major events. Trouble is few here know how if even know how to market the area.

There is a bill making its way through the halls of congress and senate to allow Utah to annex Evanston, and move the Utah / Wyoming line 20 miles east. While many are against this, I for one am for it. Maybe an influx of Utah spiced tax dollars into Evanston might just elevate the community to find the 21st Century.

It’s a known fact that while many have told me that if the town don’t fit you, move. My response, why move? Why not improve? Where the Knytes go many things grow. While its not said much, the movers and shakers of corporate America does give allot of attention to where the Knytes go to kick over cans to see what’s under those cans. Corporate America also knows that usually what’s in those cans means a serious return of investment. I have seen it time and again, where we go , others follow. Corporate America knows, that the events and such that the Knytes throws usually increases a towns population by 100% over the duration of an event. When we host and produce the Hazzard Nationals the event usually multiplies a population to over 150,000 people, tourists spending money, eating, motels and gas stations to name a few. The list goes on, but how do you convince a community that needs our help that they truly need the influx of the Knytes? It’s similar to an alcoholic. The Alky does not know its sick, until someone points out the fact that he or she needs treatment. In this case my badgering Evanston is not to be mean , its more like a kick butt intervention. Right now this second, there are at least 500, Knytes members looking to make Evanston their home, bringing all kinds of their own business’s here. The fact is they are watching me, and watching how smooth or reluctant Evanston is to a rather radical, rebel force gets treated.

To give you a reason of the need of intervention by the Knytes. Just yesterday a dear lady friend of mine’ husband , became unemployed. Due to his family’ company going bankrupt. Maybe and I only say maybe here, but if one of the Knyte’ company’ had been in place we could have saved my lady friends husband’ company.

Evanston needs and can grow into a metropolis , but its going to take the pulling out of the sand by ones head to see the light. There are projects in the works to fix things here as only the Knytes can, call us our Heavenly Fathers fix it crew.

What we do? That in the next WTF Files, here on HazzardAyre.

TTYLY

For the most people, unless you were born, raised, went to school, married and have a carved headstone at the cemetery. your not really accepted here, more than that its really hard to get an external job here. Its not what you know its who. However  while others give up, I and the rest of the club see promise here so we keep pounding away.

It’s not the old farts and retired here. There are high school and college people looking at Evanston to make a life here. While the Knytes can’t solve every problem or for that matter save everyone, we do our best to co
