I am Their Flag

No wonder Evanston wants the Knytes here.

Been off the rocks a bit here, over the last few days, caught a stomach flu bug that was having me hurl at anything, so just settled into the Eagles Nest aka Wolfs Den, and watched TV, caught up on paper work.

So with my tummy ache just about healed I decided to go to JB’s here in Evanston.

$13.00 for one trip through the breakfast buffay? Naw that ain’t right. The syrup was already starting to glaze over, the eggs cold, bacon well can’t say what that looked like and add to that a bitchy wait person. Naw, going to avoid that joint. No wonder folks here need us to open up the Reaper, or at least the Hazzard County Grill. I mean, shit, the ability to go get good homemade real food, cooked from scratch, in Evanston is what’s needed here yet few doing that. Oh don’t get me wrong Jodies Diner is still good, but the owners hang with a former intern that I’d just assoon stay away from, hey she quit we didn’t fire her.

Looks as though one of our key people at AllWest is moving to Vermont. Going to miss her, she’s one of a damn few at AllWest that knows how to get at things, and get em going. Of course there’s another situation that comes out.

I had to miss signing the lease to the office space that will soon become the HQ at least in Wyoming of HazzardAyre Radio. The main thing is, who else besides me is going to work it? I can’t do it all, but I can’t as of yet turn much if any of it over to anyone. The response on getting some help for the Reaper has been good, but bring up the idea say at church of getting some of the youth or other unemployed to intern to gain employment once we get rolling is like telling the Bishop, you had a bottle of Jack Daniels before going to church. Say become a broadcaster or radio personality at church? The words are different, but it’s the same attitude, That’s just nasty, just plain nasty. Yet Someone has to deliver the news, someone has to produce church films, conference meetings etc. Do they even understand that going to work at say KSL, if your LDS at all, requires at least a Bishops recommend? Better yet, a Temple recommend. Guess they don’t, KSL is owned by the church and is one of if not the Big dawg of broadcasting in the region, only seconded by us here at HazzardAyre. So for this gig to run like a champion stallion, we need to hire people, trouble is there are too few many here, that even know how to be on radio.

Finalizing here. The community is desperately needing the Knytes, yet are doing everything to keep us from going past the germination phaze.

Why all the phony and fake TV commercials?

Okay so you’re sitting there, all your snacks, coffee and soda watching latenight TV. When all of a sudden a TV ad comes on about some diet product like Lipozine or something. Or the Tread Climber. The people all say how this or that changed their lives. The question is always how low does somebody have to ruin their reputation for a few dollars to endorse a TV ad for a near worthless product that just makes you go to the latrine more. Everybody knows that you loose some weight just by going to the latrine and having regular bowel movements. But it’s not just diet products. The same thing comes from such so called reputable companies as DirecTV that in case you haven’t seen lately replaced Rob Lowe with a female model and a white Talking horse. They claim you get this or that for one price for a year maybe 6 months. Really? They jack your rates nearly triple after the trial period, and try to get out of that contract. DirecTV even tells you, taking your service with you is painless. If you move, sure you can take your box and all, that’s free, but you’ll have to cough up nearly $400.00 to have some just above poverty college boy to come out , climb on your roof and reinstall the damn dish. Why not tell the whole truth so YOU can make an intelligent decision. CenturyLink is nearly as bad, they advertise that they can deliver you 1gig internet. What they don’t say, (you have to read this in the very small fine print) Only good in some areas. If you do look at 1gig Service in say rural Wyoming, look at raking out nearly $2,000.00 . Why not just tell you the truth, and who is at the helm of the Federal Trade Commission as well as the Federal Communications Commission? There needs to be full disclosure and truth laws past. If not to protect your wallet, but protect your health. Many of these ads for diet pills will kill if not seriously make you sick, but they don’t say that. What’s more disturbing, is that one can approach a TV network, and or station to advertise a military aviation organization such as ours, and be turned down simply because you want to show a good looking lady in a form fitting flight suit, but will allow fraudulent or near fraudulent TV ads on. If you think its just nation or big dollar firms, think again. There’s a cash advance company out of Utah, called Mountain West Loan Centers. Their ad features two near twin girls, saying they don’t check credit, bad or no credit okay. Don’t believe it. I applied there once and because my income was military pension and SSI, I couldn’t even borrow $600.00 . Okay some bad credit items popped up, but their ad said that was okay. There’s a zillion horror stories about the firm, yet KTVX will air those ads, but turned down ads to plug HazzardAyre Radio. I read not too long ago, that an LPFM was being fined nearly $20,000 for allowing some program support announcements to give a web addy, as well as a phone number. Yet I see PBS programs running very close announcements, that are disguised ads. Yet no one is knocking down PBS or CPB, for this. Kill the small broadcaster, but let University TV stations get away with it. Bullsbreath. There’s all too many examples, my question is, why? There’s a bill coming up in Congress to address this, and I for one say its about time. Although there will be many of these fraud companies out there lobbying against such a bill that would allow them to keep defrauding the American public, but hey, advertising is the grease that keeps broadcasters on the air. Good, honest ads for real products even spiced up with a hot looking pitch girl, is good. Telling people they can loose a bunch of weight if they take a pill that could kill them isn’t. We watch and explain this because America needs to heal, and this junk ain’t no way to do it.

My opinion I could Be Wrong!!

Ever wonder why?

Ever looked at a condition situation and just Wondered Why? Like early Tuesday(today) morning whilest I was watching Highway Through Hell, on the Weather Channel, the thing kept freezing and loosing signal. The wonder here, is the dang thing operates great whilest its snow and cold, but here it is warm, sun out and Now Allwest is having problems. Okay so I’m a bit late with the blooming bill, but I can’t help they send the bill mid month around the 20th, instead of on the 1st or at least the first week of the month when I have money to pay it. But still I called em about it, everything is cool, they say, so what gives? Allwest is a very small rural cable/internet/VOIP phone company that needs lots of improvements, yet is having trouble finding money for those improvements. They are 90% of the time up, but it does get frustrating at times. I have a ton of suggestions and could improve the system, but my comments get ignored. Oh well work with what you got right?

Okay the frost is off the pumpkin of my birthday, still in my recovery mode from a bit too much celebration, but navigating okay. As I sat in thought earlier, the idea of, okay I said to myself, you have made 56 years old. You’ve seen everything, done just about everything, experienced more than most, but look at you. You hold on with SSI for now, military pension at 60 you should be towing, not just waiting for Evanston and immediate area finding its way to the 21st Century, yet stays mired in the 19th Century. Is there a cure, for that mindset? Sure, but that’d take more than myself or the Knytes are willing to invest. But one must ask as I did, where did the core for all you do, club, radio station all of it go? The reason that this club , the radio station all of that was created and enhanced by my company for, was to reinforce and uplift the company. Yet while the company drags on the club prospers, the radio station however drags, and is at a stop, all due to moving to this frigid piece of real estate called Evanston Wyoming. A condition that is looking to be cured in two months or less. Just like many other people, you go where the work and money is, not where you keep getting sucked under like being stuck in quick sand.

So I ask, Allwest and Phil again, how come the signal to my cable TV kept getting froze and kept going out this early Tuesday morning?

I hate Carpetbaggers

An example of simple Yankee carpetbagging. Saw an ad on Evanston Auto Classifieds of a Subaru the same year as mine. Price was good, I call, the lady says good, but now is backing out. Watch the price go up, as several others want it. I being in business as I am I fully understand supply and demand, but if you make a deal, even verbally should you not uphold that deal? It’s just another example of Yankee Carpetbagging and a Evanston switchback. Oh well at least I had a good birthday and birthday bash. I’m just feeling a buzz, and looking for my bed after the bathroom. Hope I can fetch a mop in the morning, since the floor is a bit messy.

As far as Evanston, I add it to the few but significant towns and areas that I’ll never reside in again, nor do business in again. You can’t trust these people. Guess the teachings at Church, of honoring agreements are not practiced. Don’t get me wrong I love the gospel, of our church, and all, but there are all too many that don’t apply the lessons of the teachings, beyond the meeting house.

Evanston will be one of a few that I’ll love seeing in my rearview mirror, not my windshield. I might have said that about Tweaker Flatts, but at least Tweaker Flatts has something to return to, Maybe I just forget about the Subaru, deal with it Tuesday. Don’t want to spoil my good birthday any more than its already been.

A great day but got my pants soiled a bit.

Yep today was my birthday, groovy, Nate took me to eat, the Bar B Que stack was really good. The Buffalo chips even better, all was okay then Kara walked in. Guess poverty or near so, and waiting for the Reaper to open took too long so, she against her principles went back to work there. I myself wouldn’t have done that since she told me of employer abuse and all, I even if I was having to get an EBT card would never go back to such a place, you get stung once don’t go back there. But some people will do the unthinkable for money. Guess she wasn’t the Dixie rebel type after all.

Quite a few after they thought about it, said Happy Birthday, but did it take a reminder? Birthday’s are the same, every year for most, some are totally ignored. For this wynged two wheeler, I miss home. At least there, even if it was one that had to be paid for, Charlie and/or Ricky would have arranged some female company for me this evening. So I get to stay home alone, but that condition is going to be solved this next month.

End of June this wynged two wheeled cowboy is going home to Idaho, and forget Evanston exists.

Saw this thing in my Email from Digital Trends of and about the best streaming service. Seems as both on demand media is sweeping the nation. Not only good for HazzardAyre, but also for many online radio and TV stations. Bad though for cable TV services. Pretty soon, cable companies will just be a way to hook up to the Internet. OTA TV is near its end of life, cycle.

My vote of the best streaming service? HULU, and HULU Plus. One is free, the other only $8.00 per month. The reason I like Hulu is they were the first at the batting plate, long before Netflix decided to stream rather than rent. Second, for the casual viewer Hulu still offers much of its content for free. I love FREE. Things or shows even if not popular in the states here, are available on Hulu, such as Fresh Meat.

Well enough for now, going to watch the news, take a long bath, and relax. Just wish somebody would have bought me cocktail, and maybe paid for a wife for the night.

Uncensored my butt

Next time you see a Facebook group or page that says they’re uncensored

Don’t buy it. Example, Saw this section posted about some page called Evanston Uncensored. So I bit, went on it, and thought I could unload, since too many others were doing the same. So I get up after checking my blood for the 5th time, and saw in my email, asking what my post was all about? I answered this Neil Cook . Says my post was removed. So I removed me from that page and group and as well as Evanston classifieds. Piss on em if they can’t take a bit of jousting. Damn lying Yankees anyway. They ain’t never said the truth and as its all too well turning out , never will.

Then Sunday morning got some call from somebody at 05:00 hours. At that hour the only words coming out of my phone better be; this is Sheriff’s Dispatch, have a tow on some highway . Past that, I treasure my sleep and rest periods.

Now that I’m done bitching, lets get into what is right here in Evanston, and trust me there ain’t much, remember this is Yankee country.

I am in one of if not the best church(LDS) Ward I have ever been in. My Bishop and Bishopric are some of the coolest crew and people I have ever met willing to help and truly doing what’s being preached and taught. They bailed HazzardAyre’s radio gear out from Woods Cross, and now are aiding me in getting LexiBelle down here. I have a family that has adopted me kind of in meetings although they never come to the Eagles Nest, but hey, one can at least hope the feelings in Church goes outside of the meeting house. But I have been blessed. I have made a few friends, here and have kept most of the ones I knew before here. Hope Nate remembers today is my Birthday.> So there is grounds for remaining on station for the next 4 or so months, but I’m still leaning on the idea of going home to Idaho.
