Remember there’s a lady in the house put the seat down

This does not happen very often, but when it does I take full advantage of, the condition is I had the situation of companionship of a real lady over night. Which is why I signed off the air early for last evening. Everything went smooth until about 04:00 hours, when I heard a curdling scream from in the bathroom. My lady went to the head and attempted to sit down, but apparently I forgot to put the seat of the commode down. Of course she forgave me, we got in the shower together and I wont go into details ,but that was a great way to wake up.

I remember that Mom used to remind me to put the seat down, and quite often from sitcoms we hear about this, but its never real until you experience this for yourself. It wasn’t to be mean or anything but if you are a male corpuscle living alone, you go through your normal routine and not think twice yet I didn’t even think of putting the seat down, but I will now. Hey this might turn into something so stay tuned. At least if I’m going to get screwed in Evanston, this way I can enjoy it.

This makes this weekend a bit easier on me, but its still sad. In March of 1983, my mom passed away. Mothers Day, is a honored day in my environment since my mom was the greatest of all , and this is not just my opinion. My Mom was on the design team for the landing gear that is under the C5A Galaxy Transport aircraft used mostly by USAF teams. More over my Mom single handedly designed the movable wings on the F1-11-A Fighter aircraft that system is now used on the F-18 Hornet and the F-15 Eagle. Mom was the leading go to person for many causes including but not limited to philanthropic needs. I can’t count how many of millions of dollars she gave. Her main one though is the reason I’m so vigilant on, in preserving and education of the history and culture of the south, mainly Confederate history. Born in Gilmer Texas in 1921 Mom never did have much college. She started at a cosmetic school in Pocatello Idaho, as a teen, worked at the Green T there as a hostess, as the big bands were trendy then, she could carry multiple dishes on her arm and not spill a drop, the Green T’s policy at the time, was if you spilt someone's food, you bought the dinner. Mom and her best friend Marge Goddard, saw a poster in front of a US NAVY recruiting office, went in and signed up. Several years later she met my Dad at the Alameda Naval Aviation Center in Alameda California and in 1947 married my Dad. Dad was a wounded US Marine Aviator then assigned in Flyte C of the original VMF214BlackSheep.

Mom was one who could irrigate farm fields with a shovel, plastic dam and siphon tubes, and she did all 400 acres of our farm then in Hazzard Idaho. She could make water dang near run uphill. She and Dad milked 150 head of cows, had beef cattle, Mom even barn broke the milk cows, hey I kid you not, a cow would come in get ready to be milked and think about going poop, mom would take a little riding crop and gently tap the top of their tail, and no poop. Of course there was that big bull we had named BIG JOHN, and he was Big. But gentle, that bull would stand guard in the field over me while mom would do her irrigating. He even got to the point through moms training to gently rock my buggy. Mom was amazing. Yet to date every year there’s something that keeps me from going and at least put flowers on Mom’s grave on Mothers Day, Memorial day or her birthday on the 28th of May. This year it’s a bad rear main seal on LiL Wolf and the General JaxSon being laid up with a bent crank shaft. Think I found a motor just waiting for a phone call. But getting back on course here. Mom was a fine lady, she is the measure I put on most women I meet. I don’t think I’m different from most guys, we all love our mother. Mom could look good dressing up for a dilatants ball for a Congressman which she did often, yet still look good in her coveralls and cotton shirt doing farm chores. There’s a ton of people in the Hazzard Valley of Idaho, that owe My Mom a debt of gratitude, even for their own survival. Including the Knytes. As it was Mom who first invested in the club, of some $500k to get it started. It wasn’t the public schools that taught me how to read and all it was my mom. The list could go on, but I’m working with tears in my eyes, this week so if I seem a bit distant understand I’m just remembering my Mom.

The inmates are ruling the community

It’s not the relaxing kind, but its movement none the less. I think and even that is somewhat hypothetical , but I think the radio werx is on its steps forward. I have gotten two people here that were part of the original radio station here in Evanston , helping, so I think progress is in motion.

Think I found an engine for 250 for Gen JaxSon so this might just smooth out, a bit. Don’t get me wrong my head and sails are still pointed northwest of here 125 miles, but a Confederate Marine does not know the word retreat or defeat. We don’t quit, its what I call Hazzard County tenacity, and a bit of Hazzard County Enginuity. Remember I came here to build a radio/tv station for the Knytes/AyreWolvez, not to go toew or build Harley’s nor to fly. There is a serious need for and a cry for a solid radio station here in Evanston, and I’d like to say I made a bad decision that turned into manure in 2006 into a silk gown in 2015. In other words reversed a bad into good.

I guess many people didn’t get the message, or ignored it, as all too many were in favor of reopening Lotty’s here and replacing that with the Reaper. Thing is for one thing to happen the radio station is paramount. The club will not back the bar without the radio station in place. Quite frankly, radio is a place to let yourself be silly, and earn a paycheck, when many work with the sweat off their brow, and make much less. For me both are a path to get off SSI, and earn my way. Maybe buy a house here, build a shop and plant my ass somewhere. Evanston itself is not a bad place albeit the inmates at the State Hospital here I think invades and rules the community. Tried to open the can of worms at the court house on the radio buy, and you’d think I’d have dressed in a pink too-too, or something, its was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. Got in touch with a few people involved in the original station here and many want it back on, so while our FM goes up, we tread to gain traction on the action of the AM.

Making decisions is Tuff, but you have to do so sometimes

As I get ready to hit the rack so I can be awake to deliver to you another AyreWolfFM/HazzardAyre radio show at 06:00 I am being true to myself in telling you that my mind has been made up, to move Northwest of Evanston here about 125 miles, to Bear Lake Idaho, and get me going towing again, plus flying, as a hangar space was found there so I’m going to be hunting down places to live there. The car will get repaired here in Evanston over at Chads, likewise after get LiL Wolf repaired there as well. Bear Lake Idaho is only an hour or less drive from Evanston. I will also do the club’s office at the 5th floor of the Wells Fargo building where HazzardAyre/AyreWolfFM will be, but there has been too much hurt in this town for me to have to live in it every day.

This is not to say that I will not honor my commitment to help clean the meeting house here where my old Ward is, but after the way I was treated last Sunday, I’m making my appearance there very limited. Some other things like when the Bishop is not there, I’m treated worse than the Wolf in amongst the sheep. Brother Reed, is the only one outside of the Bishop who genuinely shakes my hand and welcomes me there. But I can’t even be called on to give an opening or closing prayer. It’s at a point that while I know the teachings of the LDS denomination is true and real, it’s the body that does the teaching that I have trouble with and have an internal conflict with. From the time I made a name mistake to looking at ones daughter as a potential poster girl for the web site, its not said, but I think the feeling is mutual, that I just no longer go to that Ward, it’s just too much judgmental.

Now to bring this into focus, as an example. In Ogden at the Sullivan Hollow Ward, I was much as I am today. The Ward there knew I drank, chewed and all, yet never were they too busy or too stuffy to come over to the house. My Home teacher who used to live here in Evanston, BTW, came to the house many times, but never said much in the way of criticism of me drinking Jack on my front step, working on my truck with Skoal in my mouth, and the hands that shook mine were real and loving. Oh yes the Bishop there, helped me a lot through church funds, mostly for rent after I got hoodwinked over a roommate who never paid any rent, nor utilities. The last one though, I got a $150.00 deposit, from so at least I got that. but expenses were too much so I had to relocate. But one of the most heart breaking times was having to leave that Ward and I fought hard to stay there, but the greedy landlord, got too bullheaded so I had to go. I forgive all even him, as I know Heavenly Father will fix that hurt. But outside of two not of the Bishopric, and the Bishopric here, few others even acknowledge that I’m alive, much less care, so why bother. None of them even brought anything over for my birthday, Easter nothing. Not even a visit on that Monday the 27th did they even come over to say Happy Birthday. NONE OF THEM!! So I’ll take my sacrament here at home, read my Book of Mormon, and my bible home alone, and just go back to being just me on two wheels or being just me the pilot. Heavenly Father did not say, you can preach my words, but only after you progress through a misguided system of requirements. Bottom line I don’t have to go to this Ward much any more and by the end of July, I wont at all, since I’ll be 125 miles away from here. Again, I’m sure the feelings are mutual.

I came to Evanston to do one thing, to give birth to a radio/TV station. Not to toew, not to trick out Harley’s , and not to fly, but to create a radio/tv station. So I’ll fulfill that task, but anything else, naw its just not here.

As far as the social thing here. There’s a single mother just about my age with two daughters whom one just got baptized last Saturday. She’s not a Victoria’s Secret model, but she’s pretty. When I heard her testimony last Sunday, I could feel the loneliness in her heart and words, couldn’t the powers that be of the Ward here, done something to help in at least introduction and maybe help with a match making? The list goes on, but my advancement into Heaven, I feel is no longer dependent on me going to a Church Ward, that wouldn’t care much if I dropped over and died, much less come to the funeral.

Besides, being in Bancroft Idaho, means I can go see my son on a regular basis, as well as spend at least some holidays with my own kin folk in nearby Grace/Thatcher Idaho.

Catch ya’ll on the bounce around, good numbers to ya’ll

Hurry! I never hurry. I have no time to hurry.
--Igor Stravinsky

Demographics are changing, are you ready for it?

Who is it that figures up how and where to place advertising on TV anymore? Points of Direct sale are one thing, but I wonder why they place them where they do. Consider the old Victorian nucleus family. Used to be mom stayed home with the kids, so TV ad agencies placed ads for detergents, and female oriented products during the day. A mix of ads directed towards men were on Saturday’s and Sunday’s usually within sports events, like football, and motorsports. Times have changed and so has the viewing public. The Demographics, are now more men at home, more women out on the job, so why doesn’t these ad gurus figure out, that there is just so many ads still directed to women run during the day, that would be better ran as a mix during Saturday and Sunday sports. How about a beer ad, or car part ad during the week day? Likewise, place that diamond ad on during a sportscast? Instead all too many ads for suing drug companies that screw the pooch on some medicine, or getting a quik loan from some predatory lender? First of all and another reason Idaho excels is the Idaho Attorney General several years ago, pulled the plug on tort claims , likewise predominately scrubbed predatory lenders from Idaho. Yes there are some but much more heavily monitored. False claims are usually followed by a agent of the AG’s office paying a visit. I’m getting off course. Of course certain ads will not run during prime time, like those for Viagra, but its okay to run an ad, for womens vaginal cleansing products during afternoon, when kids are watching TV cartoons, you see ads for feminine products to baby sitting referral services. While the ads are questionable, the idiots placing those ads, must be outright stoners. I can see ads for such firms as Angies List both day and night time viewing hours, but I’m tired of seeing female stuff on during the days and few at evening viewing hours. Men stay home, tend kids, do what was once a wife’s chores. How about targeting the male viewers a bit. But that would mean an overhaul of mindsets on Madison Avenue and change there is rare. Used to be that TV ad agencies were on target, and TV programmers knew how to place ads, as well as shows. Here’s an example, and why these things are often cancelled long before they should be. Highway Thru Hell a TV show series on the Weather Channel about going towing in Canada. But I have yet to see an ad on there for tow truck equipment, the truck, the tow body, winches, and accessories. Plus you rarely see a fuel additive, or any kind of truck fix it products. When the History channel ran Ice Road Truckers(IRT), did you ever see an ad for a truck? No not a Chevy or Ford, but an ad for a new Peterbilt, Kenworth or a trailer? No. Did you see ads for truck custom shops, anything relating to trucks or trucking? No. I used to get the same story from KSL, radio. When they ran overnight the RoadGang(now the Dave Nemo Show) there was not if any ads for the local truck service centers, truck stops, etc. Yet they sat right on the center of trucking in the Mountain West region. They would say, we can’t make it pay, my response was and is to many of them, did they look to the program content and targeted audience, rather than just the area citifieds? No they didn’t. Of course our sister radio show did, and is why for 25 plus years Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio ran at a stallions pace, while others were drowning. DDTRN, did many things right and why DDTRN still is part of the HazzardAyre Family. But I ask myself, and I ask many ad gurus, why they keep missing the shot? Just like METV, which I watch daily, but especially on Sunday’s, on there on Sunday’s at 6:00PM(18:00 Hours) is the albeit over dramatized but BlackSheep Squadron the TV show based on the legendary combat squadron of WWII, aka VMF 214. Do you ever see, on there ads for military branches like Army, Navy, Marines? How about Veterans needs and concerns, this is where those ads for LifeAlert would fit, since many military members would benefit from these products. More over what about flying clubs, aircraft , pilot training and recertification? No. Even when the Dukes of Hazzard ran, did you see then as well as now, ads for car parts, wheels, engines, additives? No, but you see how to con a woman into getting in the sack by buying her a diamond, or some stinky perfume. Look I’m no frigging genius here, but hey if I can figure this out so should be the ability that these people in TV stations and ad agencies should be able to as well.

BTW; Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio Network and the show itself, celebrates it 35th anniversary next Friday. Likewise an entire new form for the program and a online stream will be available.

Radio has been bitching about, getting more OTA(over the air) Radio back into the car, I have an idea, lets get more OTA radio back into the truck cab.

One TV Network that rather obscure gets it right. Rural TV or RFDTV based now out of Nashville, Tennessee Does farm oriented and rural programming. Guess what, there’s ads on there for farm equipment, saddles, bridles, fertilizers and so on. If a tiny network like RFDTV can get it right, how come these bigger TV networks and stations can’t?

There must be a severe lack of talent to do ads anymore

Maybe its because I give attention to media things more than the casual TV viewer or something, but I’m seeing all too many repeat or at least the same people pitching products and services on TV.

Take for instance, CenturyLink, has this one with some guy asks how long it would take to download a movie with a 1gig speed/bandwidth connection. About as fast as he eats a cookie, which is sped up quite a bit, but the same portrayed CenturyLink tech, is the same guy trying to find a good buy on a used car on a CarMax ad. Of course if you look elsewhere you see quite a few unemployed actors doing ads or voiceovers. For instance we have rather still hot looking Jennifer Garner doing ads for a credit card company. Of course there’s the dude overdubbing on the Arby’s ads, saying We have the Meats. Terrible writing for that ad btw. But its Darth Vader himself. Of course there’s the VW car ad, using good ole Waylon’s song as a music bed. First the song and the ad does not connect. Plus I’ll bet you lunch, that VW or its ad agency isn’t paying royalty fees to Shooter or Jessie . But here’s what kicks me in the groin, and see it a lot, how come, all too many hot filly's will show off their legs and other body parts on Facebook and Pinterest, but few will dress in rather conservative threads to photograph with a warbird(military aircraft) or a classy toew truck? As an example, the Knytes through its production subsidiary HazzardAyre Media, pays on average $100.00 per on camera hour. Yet finding suitable or at least uninhibited gals to enhance or visual productions. Or and I think this goes hand in hand, you pitch to a gal in church that she could do such a task at church you get a serious, look of not here, yet at the local stake center a daughter, of one of the most influential LDS families in Evanston can dance and prance in front of the public in a For Broadway play. Really?

Bottom line? Don’t say ya’ll don’t cause I know ya’ll do.

TV is in trouble money wise anyway. Most advertisers have cut way back in how much they spend on TV ads. The show they support must be a grand gig, for them to spend big money. Even this years Super Bowl had some serious lack of production quality.

However, I take my hat off to Google, they are running an ad for one of its advanced apps for smartphones , and its very simple, very clean and gets to the heart of the product without sex, or crap. Of course in the other lane, you have DirecTV running the ads, with the blonde on the horse that talks like Mr. Ed. Guess when consumer advocates cried like Coyotes about Rob Lowe, DirecTV did a change. Yet in either case they miss the boat.

Is there a solution? Yes, and I’ll chat about that in a later entry here to HazzardAyre.

Now closing, and while not on topic there’s much changing in the workings of both the Knytes as well as my own company.

You may have noticed that there is a new title cover page on our blog. That predominately focus’ on my company HazzardAyre Aviation. With some slight resistance the Knytes granted me the ability to use that, to get me back into the air as well as on it. As you know or maybe not, AyreWolf for all intents and purposes, has been sold to my cousin Gordon, out of Alaska. But I’m not allowing the ability to get wind under my wings, either. So with the $7.2, million, paid out every two years at $600K we are recreating my half of the company as HazzardAyre Aviation which will become a major supporter and sponsor of both the Knytes as well as the AyreWolvez. Now as far as Highway Hooker Toewing, while the terms are quite innocent in the usage here. Highway is okay, Hooker isn’t as widely accepted by a rather conservative LDS dominated client base and population. After doing some research and all, the company will go by the handle of SteeleEagle Toewing, west of Burley to the Oregon line. While RodeWolf Toewing will be us east of Burley into Utah as well as here in Evanston.

More L8R this evening.

The light is on, anybody at home?

A Good Morning from high above Evanston in the Wentworth towers, well it’s morning to me. Lots of things came into view this weekend with and concerning the Knytes. First the vote was unanimous in retaining the handle of the club. Knytes-of-Anarchy stays, The Rode Knytes Association will be added as a subsidiary as our towing and disabled vehicle resque half of the club. Guess ya’ll know whose in charge of that huh? Next and I would be derelict in my duties not to report this so I will. The club as far as the radio werx has chosen to award the contract for our telecom CenturyLink, with AllWest being chosen as a back up. So our gal from Lost Wages Nevada best get the paper work to us ASAP. This was on the news this morning so I must tell you that, I think while not saying it outright, other media platforms such as KSL TV and others do read the blog, as well as NBC News. The poll taken as to the topic do women still wear nylons to the office anymore. A dramatic increase the survey said was yes. Out of 100 women surveyed 75% said yes, while 25% said they don’t. The basic reason was a fashion protest, of a synthetic product was worn to please us male corpuscles only, the other complaint was the lack of durability and a scratchy feeling against the leg. One survey respondent said the rubbing on her personal parts got her over sexually stimulated, and thought that might be bad at the office. Really, Nylons give me a stiffy so maybe that’s accurate. But then I saw on Facebook and it still bugs me some, that while my postings are frequently removed from Facebook faster than sliding into your long John’s on a cold winter morning, that others can post nearly if not exactly the same thing, but it said doesn’t violate Facebook’s standards or TOS’s. So then hit on a few of a few of those suggested pages about the subject, and 80% of the posters were of male corpuscles ogling over some hot mama, on there. There’s in my opinion a large divide, on admiring a woman’s body or legs, and looking like a hungry Coyote at the proverbial RoadRunner. Then saw on Evanston Auto Classifieds, page that there’s going to be this year at their annual rod show, a pin up girl contest. They didn’t say girl or lady, but there’s the continuation of the contest being more women not men. Really? Hope they have better luck at it than we do. Finding hot hiney to photograph with customs to trucks to toew trucks to warbirds is a constant talent search. But bet money they got the idea from us.

Something we are working on here that is paramount, and very costly is side of the road billboard signage advertising giving a slight boost to both the radio werx as well as the club overall. Something that might look like this. THE OTHER OBJECT TO THE SIGNAGE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE RIFF RAFF does not even think of invading Evanston, we exterminate riff raff, everywhere we go, and if you think we are attempting to be the fuzz, think again, but while law enforcement can only do so much, The Knytes can do what cops can’t.

It was great bein on air again this past two days or so. But I’m feeling kinda caged. Not to fear, this next week or so, going to fetch LexiBelle, and ya’ll know what rests on LexiBelle’s shoulders, my Harley. As I close, think of it this way, Ever see a Harley parked at a head shrinks office?

This Nation needs Ethics cleansing

I did not say Ethnic Cleansing, as there are assholes of every color, and cultural background, yet when some people research me or the club they see just a small window, and very little of the view. The Knytes have been around since 1968 and have evolved into a one of a very kind. Yet I get called a d—k, from some idiot on some smut Facebook page. As far as I’m concerned its like my mom told me when I was young, its one thing to let people think you’re an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. While the good book says not to hate, and forgive others, and never ever lie, which I do all that, yet I do have my roots, and my Dad always told me you’ve got to stand for something. Or ya’ll will fall for anything. I have relaxed that a bit, over the last 8 years, but I’m getting more of a stronger backbone. I stand for several things, mostly that of defending and proclaiming life from that of a servant of Jesus Christ. Sure I do have my nyloned clad bevy of beauties that help to enhance the visual images of the club’s promotional operations. But even I as well as the Knytes, know you can photograph hot looking gals in classy and upscale threads, rather than trashy scummy and all. I just don’t like showing off something that no guy, that rides a bike, or flys a military aircraft, would ever have the chance of scoring with. It’s like so many hot rod parts and TV shows shows off rides that many of us who home brew rides, from street machines as well as tricked out trucks can’t completely build due to lack of tools or full sized fully equipped shops. Who has a full 6 post lift, in their hobby shop? Or a environmentally certified paint booth? I don’[t, so as Clint Eastwood said in one of his Dirty Harry movies, “ a man has got to know his limitations” .

So went to church today, the Bishop wasn’t there off on vacation. Somewhere living life. So I sat through Testimony meeting, which was all well and good, and I felt more inspired to get up and howl, but held my tung. So Sacrament meeting ended, went to Sunday School, but left Priesthood meeting. I will not go where I am not wanted, or honored. The feeling goes much further than simple pride. After went to KFC, got a Spud Bowl, and came home, ate and now just calming down, after two weeks of absolute bstuff. Plan B still in the game, tow service first, then help club with radio station thing.

I have more to say just can’t put the words together now, see ya’ll l8r tonight.
