Transparency Is Credibility and Legitimacy

There was a thing my Mom taught me as a young Wolf-Pup, that if your being sneaky, trying to hide things and not being fully visible in the light, then you must be up to no good, or doing something sinister. If your doing something underhanded, feel funny and nervous or just plain, doing things in the dark, Mom said, then your fixin to mess up. Now true not everybody has a Google search hit on them, or a Facebook, Twitter or other thingamabob, but if your involved in IT(Information Tech) computers, building websites etc, it would make sense that someone doing that should ought to have a local website or at least a connection?

Okay then , look at both HazzardAyre , the Knytes-of-Anarchy as well as AyreWolf Aviation. All three are very visible, very transparent, and from this newspaper to Facebook, you’ll find all three. A way to contact us both online or by phone, without multiple voice mails or automated intake phone things, means if your not doing something evil, you stand out and say here I am. Which means all of the things I’m involved in , is very legid, legal and proper right down to the tax numbers.

There was this guy we met the other day at McDonalds, lives locally I think, said he made websites. Thought we’d let him have a crack at ours. Still working with another, but a local who could also sub in as a area assistant engineer would help.

So got to looking, no local connection, no online connection. If it ain’t then they ain’t.

Okay then, items on the table last night at the club meeting, which I tried to call Joni on but never got a call back, might be she got spooked too, and bailed, oh well I try.

But the pecking order of things, is the same, Radio Station first, Shop, Second, Reaper Club 3rd, and if all looks good, bring up AyreWolf Aviation Repair fourth. In that order.

So with that said let me say this about somebody that I had lunch with the other day.

Joni came over, so intimidation is not a factor, or at least I don’t think so. She has a dynamic look, in fact a great package, but more over, while she interviewed for the bar and all, I also think there’s much more this gal can do than just serve brew, and mix cocktails. There’s a great brain there, granted some deep hurts, but serious brain power there. In essence could make one helluva second seat here at Confederate Steele. That’s why I’m pursuing her with dilligence , if she was just to work the bar etc, I wouldn’t be making such a fuss, I’d just say oh well, dust off the step and say whatever.

People from one end of this valley to the other have questioned our legitimacy , credibility, etc, and some of that might be justified, considering we are a club, that despises the establishment, that walks the line of being anti conformists , and certainly strongly dislikes most if not all Yankee’s. Or at least the near socialist society the Yankees have created. Something our group fights every day. Showing how the south was right 150 years ago as well as today. However the one thing you wont find here is this, any part of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, hiding in the darkness. We are as transparent as possible. Oh yes all too real for many.

God Bless Dixie

See ya’ll on the Radio after NASCAR.

I am their Flag

Before I get into my rant here need to say this. I must have celebrated a bit too much last night. Those Bud’s(Bud Light) that I had must’ve been been a bit more potent than I thought. I spent most of my paycheck which I’ll suffer from this next week, but I’ll live. This usually happens at a end of month club meeting and for the most part near end of riding season. Here in another month or so it’s put away the bike, and ayrecraft get in the caged surroundings of the toew truck, and slide around the slick and cold snow. Although its predicted by the Farmers Almanac that its supposed to be more cold than snow. So today I’m sitting in a darkened room, holding my cranium ,staying quiet, and deciding whether or not to go fetch grub. Guess that’ll come about 21:00 hours.

I hate spending so much money on a night out, maybe those coffee’s for $3.00 a whack had more than coffee in them. Watching BSU get stepped on for one tiny point. Fresno must be having a hey day ,over the win.

But once in awhile after so many months and weeks of plain bullshit over pin up girls that never return a phone call much less an email, guess that $1,000.00 a day doesn’t excite them too much. After bar help for the Reaper, one visit of one that I think is on board, but don’t know for sure , guess I will see Monday at 13:00(1:00PM) that don’t return an email or phone call. And don’t get me started on the gals for co anchor on the radio gig. But getting out, getting hammered, and not regretting much nor caring about some ungrateful people,reminds me of why staying single and alone is good. Women are nice to look at, occasionally work with, on camera, in the Reaper Club, or such, but its nice that when the task is done you send them on their way and say thank you, and sleep alone, my way in MY bed.

Okay then.

This morning even in my part sober state, I ran the tune I AM THEIR FLAG, a song that I hold dear. Its one that I saw in 2007 that describes it all. This flag >does not represent hate, or evil, it is one of our heritage, of our southern culture and our southern loyalty. But there is a part that you must understand. For Many the Dukes of Hazzard was a 1 hour poorly written at times farce of a TV show. People watched, laughed and then went on about their lives. While for many like I , Hazzard County is more than a TV show, or a place on earth, Hazzard County is a part of your soul and place in my heart. For it was the Dukes-of-Hazzard, that brought me to re-examine, my southern heritage and life and my family’s history in the southern culture. To coin a phrase, I was a Confederate Rebel , before being a Confederate was cool. My family on both sides was of southern ancestry. Mom was Texan, Dad Alabama and Georgia. Military service in the U.S. Navy and Marines brought both north. While My Gran Dad on Mom’s side was of the north, (Grace-Idaho) My Grandma was of Alabama and Texas. Mom was born in a at the time town of Gilmer Texas. My Father was born on the southern half of West Virginia, them both my Grandparents on Dad’s side moved to their ancestors homeland of Montgomery Alabama which is why Montgomery Alabama is called Montgomery Alabama. While my two Uncles (Dad’s brothers) lived in Conyers as well as Macon Georgia. Many of my summers until 1993 were spent down there. On farms working long days, sitting on the porch, hey in the south we do a lot of front porch sitting and thinking. But I learned of my heritage, of the General of Lee’s Army, (yes a General Montgomery) was one of my ancestors.

But I posted the video of the song, and yet few if any have even responded. Now here’s the grind of some gears. About a year or so ago, I got this urgent email from Alma, Ben’s dear lady, saying that Warner Brothers was going to take our rebel flag of that General Lee Dodge Charger. Something to the effect that the WB, thought it might offend somebody. And they call us Confederates racist. Any mile Alma wanted all her friends to write, call and fuss to WB, and CMT about the situation. Of course I did. And so did the Knytes, but we as a club did more than send a few angry Facebook postings and emails. We all rode down to WB Studios, and brought our handwritten letters to studio execs. You noticed the flag is still on the toy General’s.

Now before you Yankee’s start bitching understand this. The time is sooner than later. That flag you dislike will soon become the flag all, I repeat ALL Americans will salute. The Yankees have messed up America so much that as we say that Marxist Abe Lincoln did us no favors in the so called reconstruction. The south did not loose the way, we conceded , to prevent further loss of life. The saying Dixie will rise again, is not just a saying, its already starting to rise, and its with pride that the Knytes of Anarchy in our small way is helping it rise to new altitudes.

I say simply, God bless Dixie.

I’m going back to bed, my Goody’s are starting to work, so maybe I can catch some sleep.

If the other team fumbles the ball , pick it up for a conversion

I learned earlier this evening as I dined with an associate at Anchors, that SpeedTV is now Fox Sports One. Gone is the all automotive performance all the time gearhead channel, or is it?

Here’s the thought, why couldn’t HazzardAyre TV replace ?

After all know anybody better to cover major and minor automotive programming and events as well as all those how to shows on performance aftermarket than the crew of HazzardAyre? Real gearheads covering things us gearheads and motor nuts love. Be it drag racing, NASCAR, ISCA, and other things. Watch here for further developments.

Got some great news. On the shop , bar and other areas of interest. Got our sponsorship from Miller Sportspark, and the LH.Miller Foundation. This brings us into a much larger picture. If you don’t know who Larry H Miller is, think Utah Jazz, and you’ll be on target. Scott Miller has confirmed renewed backing of the Knytes, more over Confederate Steele. That means the shop rent on Shoshone will be covered by them once we get the full lease back from Boise. More over the radio station, and of course the bar. We’re talking millions of dollars here. Scott’s family owns Miller Autosports Park just outside of Tooele Utah. More over our entry is by way of a former coach there, that was one of our sister groups, the Deere Dazzlers Association a group of those who caught Classic Tractor fever that love the color green.

Sometimes persistance pays off.

Until later today.

Good numbers,

In a bar, this is the way NOT to get repeat customers

Now before ya’ll think I’m about to rag out on another bar , your wrong.

I for many reasons, mostly to keep tabs on our competition the really only competition the Reaper Club has if you even want to call any bar a threat to the Reaper, but any mile, went to Anchors Bistro and Bar. Okay ordered the Anchor Dog, $10.00 2 brews $5.00 no problem. Watched the game we lost 40 to 41 can you believe that one miserable point. Guess BSU can’t have a no loss season every year huh? Any mile, so drank coffee the rest of the night. Which here is what I’m pissed at, can you believe, charging a Knyte member $2.60 for coffee? This kind of crap is why the push for the Reaper Club is getting even more pushing. I mean really , near $3.00 for coffee, most bars do not charge for coffee, especially after you have spent $16.00 already. Guess where I’m not going very often.

The Reaper has a better idea, how about all the time $1.00 brews, $2.50 in the bottle. A hamburger fries curly or regular cut paper skinny, $3.50 , Shot’s $2.00 and so on, oh and yea, coffee? Free any time all the time. Brews are free to club members and with a meal, over $5.00 .

That’s how you bring customers back.

Now onto the distributor. Then some of Miller Brewings sales crew was there, I tried to chat with them. in time they damn well will, with us opening the Reaper down on south Shoshone, near the MC shop. And the Boars Nest out on Blue Lakes where the Oasis used to be. Yet I tried to get them to chat. I told them to get my red Dog Beer, they said they couldn’t , I told them that I have already talked to Miller Brewing in Milwaukee they told me through my distributor I could special order it. The one guy said he would if I bought the whole shipment, which I would plus the kegs. But did Tony sit down to give me a price? No. Like I said they will in time. After all I’ll sell the rest of TEC’s products, too bad there can’t be two distributors in one location, as if there was , there would not be a TEC Distributing. Too Bad Magic Valley Distributing isn’t around any more. More over too bad the people we get product from in Montpelier based out of Soda Springs, as well as our supplier in Boise ain’t here. They firmly understand the WORD, NASCAR. As well As NHRA. They understand that besides the two bars our acquiring the drag strip just outside of Gooding, where we will sell brew, not the way to sell product.

Bottom line, The Anchor as well as TEC Distributing dropped the ball here tonight. Just like the game , both lost by one point.

Its not  a way to bring in new customers.

Thoughts of a Wolf

Thoughts of A wolf for this overnight haul, brings me to so what? Point of view.

Called Joni earlier today, said she’d call back hasn’t , but think that she just got busy. Hope that’s all it is.

Then Jade the gal from Boise that has to yet interview for the Pin Up gig, said she’d for sure call last night, no call. Maybe she’s thinking or gig is a bit to spicy for her taste. Haven’t heard from Paige, but I know that will change eventually. The reason I think that is this, once she, her friend Jessica and quite a few others will gather together around the gig, once the Reaper opens and the radio gig goes on line as well as on air, at least where all can tune in. I know for sure they’ll be there. But if that’s it, and its taken damn near ten years to bring this crop to harvest, the question becomes, why? That simple, why? Sure succeeding will give me and the club saving face and kudos from all over the place, and even the bit of fame will generate money for the club. And income for the employees , but as for me

I have to look and ask , where is my thanks. I related to Joni yesterday the crap over the Christmas toys in 1979 in Hazzard, the gathering of folks from the Hazzard LDS Ward when dad died in 78, the year LexiBelle>  came in my life, but I also remember that when Mom died in 1983, there was no one in that little town outside of club members, who even came up to my house and said can we help you? some how. But they sure were there to buy many of the keepsakes and antiques Mom had, the furniture of the house, virtual vultures. All too many women there sure loved me or so I thought, but loved the foundations money more, although I was too damn stupid to know it. Thank goodness my unit in the Marines got called up two years later. But lets look at this for a minute, because some payback is deserved. Although I don’t think I’ll ever see it in my lifetime. Hazzard’s(Hagerman) Quick Response Unit for medical emergencies. My idea, have I gotten a thank you? No. The new fire house there, money for that came from the Montgomery foundation, Frogs Lily Pad , over half of the seed money for that came from both the Montgomery Foundation and me, as well as the club because The club was established there in fact was conceived there at the Polish Palace now Snake River Grill, never have gotten any of that money back. Then there’s the Cat 10 that was stolen by a former Gooding Deputy, and gave to an excavation company about two miles out of town where it sits on a pole. Still have never gotten any money for that or a can we help you with something? Mel Shirley’s big swine farm, the money that was seed money for that only partly paid back. And that’s just the short list. The real deal on the sale of my house my homestead was sold for about 1% of what it was really worth. It essentially was embezzled from me. But again I was away, and with no knowledge of what was going on. When I got leave and found out, I tried to stop that but never got the serious attention of an attorney to fix that problem.

So hell yes I’m bitter, and partly of what drives me to bring the station on line and over the air is to rub a few noses into some serious dung. But what about after? Only if I could find a good lady, but more than that get the assistance I need to sustain the station, the bar and so on. Sure the club will help, but 80% of the club is still deployed overseas, in places I can’t talk about doing things I also can’t talk about. The rest of the membership have no love for this area, and don’t want to step back into it. Which leaves 5 of us to battle this war. Two are on the road 70% of the time trailer trucking, One is in BT, that leaves two of us. Karl is running the aviation part of my company, and so is everywhere besides Idaho. Which leaves me. On overnight conference calls to places via Skype. So after our monthly meeting here tonight I made the agreement, of giving this 24 more months or two years. Maybe not that long, but if with Joni, on board(At least I hope she’s on board) and the station, bar and all makes it fine, I’m here. If not I’m gone in 8 months. If things start to unfreeze I’m here for the 24 months. Put Joni in charge, then I’m getting my Wolf-Pack outta here. Sorry I know its heavy but hey I’m tired. Getting news in July that I have type 2 diabetes just cut off at least 5 years from my life. Sometime, during the rest of it, I want to go to Nashville, walk on Music Row, walk into the Ryman Auditorium, stand on that piece of wood from the original building pick up a guitar, and sing on the Grand Ole Oprey. Even if it is to myself. I want to take an F-4-U Corsair, at the Reno Air Races, and do a in the air race against a p-51 Mustang, to show the Corsair as superior to the P51. And finally, I want to be the one that proves without the shadow of a doubt that the Lady> can in fact be built. The only fully armed Mach plus helicopter. Those things are not going to happen by themselves. This radio station that got a kick in its groin, by the wife of a close friend at the first of this year, the long hours of trying to recruit females that think the only thing I’m looking for is a fast time in the bed, which that I could care less about. I just want to show California that we in Idaho can do it too. But it makes it very difficult, when the inquire by email, from our ads on CraigsList, say their going to call, come over whatever, which is why I meet most of them now out at the mall first, that way they have some sense of safety. Utah it was a phone call. Hell even population of 13,000 Evanston was easier to get talent in. Yet these silly , idiotic women can’t pull their heads out long enough to think there’s more here than what meets the eye. Oh sure the Wolf’s Lair is somewhat sparse. Why? So if the day comes, it’s a fast load and go. Second, my old trucks, sure I can go into debt, get new ones. Why? These old trucks still get the job done, are paid for, and I can still fix what’s needed. As far as the trucks outsides, when the hell have I had time or place? Sure I had the shops in Burley, but I was fixing everyone else’s rides, still have never got paid for most of that. Helping to solve a mass of personal problems of a James Goins over there, and his three goon friends, there was never one time any of them picked up a sanding block or a scraper to get some of the old paint off of either truck. The vandalism to LexiBelle, came from at least one of those, then there was the repair job we did on a Mexican’s car that I never got paid for, but I still had to pay for the new parts. Its taken this long for a shop to surface that even a bit high priced is still able to be stomached to get things going on that side. And yet with it all these little stuck up women here can’t even live up to basic courtesy of calling to say I’m interested or not. Show up when they say they will, oh sure Joni did now she works for us, but one is not a bar crew.

Any mile I’m going to watch my movie, get this fever to break and get some sleep.

Hope to hear from Jade, Joni, and Paige sometime today. But its getting down to the wire, either crap or get off the can. If your not going to take our job openings seriously, don’t bother me.

Until Friday Afternoon,

L8R Aviators

IHA and other Government help programs are the waste making the USA Government go broke

I am still trying to make my mind understand this, and I’m looking into some sort of legal action, for it. But I’ll try to outline this as best as I can so ya’ll just hang on.

But first, understand my parents, both from southern raising did not cotton to any kind of public or government hand out programs. To them the red tape, the corrupt nature and politics involved even to get a crumb was too much. Add to that but it made you feel some how owing to the Union Yankee government somehow.

But the year I got discharged from the Marines all proper like, and between that and the launch of AyreWolf Aviation that has kept food on my table since, there was a gap in income flow. In essence cash stopped. The reason was, that my now deceased cousin Bud, had invested the greater amount of $600k into an annuity, hosted by Metro Securities a subsidiary of Met Life in Portland Oregon/Seattle Washington. When that collapsed due to an internal investigation finding some of Metro Securities people were dipping their hands in the cookie jar. Which left millions of dollars of investors in a freeze mode. To date we have collected 5% of that or $5,000.00 of that $600K. Okay then shortly after that Flying J and Pilot Travel Centers decides to merge. Thing is some of the original founders money of at least to us of just over $200, million needs to be recovered. Totaling this up, left me with in need of living with Cousin Bud, or getting public housing.

Now the agency that does public housing in Davis County Utah is about as sneaky and evil as the snake in the Garden of Eden. Oh you get in for the intake interview fine, you put up with the short skirts of the administrator ladies, that are now on a power trip , and in the end you get tired and move. In their bylaws of the housing complex, it says you need to give at least a 30 day intent to vacate notice, in writing. Which I did 60 days in advance. I did it twice. Did they give that any attention? Apparently not. Their fix it workers were all informed of the move two even helped load the truck. I had to clean and move a hide away bed was all that was left. Circumstances beyond my control and I’ll get to those circumstances in a second, But I get moved to CokeVille Wyoming. Subsequently to Evanston Wyoming. But I never got back to the Bountiful complex. so I told em throw everything left away. But what did they do kept billing me for living there? Thing is, it was Davis Housing that gave me the 10 days to hurry up and move since they already had a new move in for my place coming in. They never sent me one written bill or statement. Now hold on here this gets worse.

So there was a point, Cousin Bud and I tried to have this outfit connected to Davis Mental Health, that does commercial payee services there. It takes two signatures to get money out of the account, or at least that’s how its supposed to work. Apparently either the sex pot monitoring the balance sheets or the gal running the agency, was poopooing the money. Suddenly I find, I’m $400.00 in the hole. How does this happen? I can’t sign a check myself, there has to be the payee’s signature on the damn check. Question is where did the money go? It obviously did not go to where it was supposed to, ultimately the agency folded, the person in charge left the area, but I’m still out the $400.00 to Zion’s Bank, and Davis Housing because some hardly dry behind the ears clerks , managers, and employees , can’t get their stuff together.

So then over time I get here to Idaho, partly in protest, as the only thing Tammy and I were to do here was investigate the Boise State Media School, for potential talent for the club’s WYOMING radio station. But we got here, Tammy talked to her Aunt, wanted to move here, we did, she got tossed in the can for nose candy, after that she and children move back to Wyoming. Looking back I should have moved back as well, but we are now in mid 2007.

So I first moved to Pocatello, was doing well, club’s TV show running, radio station going up near American Falls, but I needed some extra bucks on a short term deal. So saw this ad in the Mountain Home News, about a Nuke power plant. So I see the ad, called , guy said great come on over. So gave up all for that moved to Glenn’s Ferry, ya’ll know that story, finally the Nuke power plant never gets built, second the place I’m living the guy who owns it goes bankrupt so I move to Gooding. Ya’ll know that story, Then so on. While residing in Buhl, a counselor from H&W suggests I go to Idaho Housing. I did, here’s one of those Government waste things. First when you sign up , they ought to do an intake interview right then and there. Not wait until your spot on the waiting list comes up 4 years after to do the intake interview. Why make you wait if you don’t qualify? Hell I could have been back in Utah, getting my GA to go fly again, my truck built, and in a regular no rent assist apartment albeit a studio, with all the bells , whistles spa and pool, for $500.00 a month including power etc. No I’m stuck here now until spring. What you have is gals that at least a few that are try outs for a page on Victoria’s Secret Calendar, in an air conditioned office, interviewing people that could use help in housing especially of a military background, But what do you get. Because the gig in Utah has not been settled I can’t even go forward on that. really? Why couldn’t they have looked into this before hand, 4 damn years ago , then sending me a written notice that says come on in your time is now. You bust ass to get all paperwork in on time and now its still frozen, bullsbreath.

This is why between the club and I , I am doing my best to finish up what I came up here for to begin with, the radio station, bar, MC shop, fix up my rigs, get good people in that can be trusted right down to blood oaths to run those operations, me get my rigs in good shape, get a place pegged down in Utah and then get my ass out of this rotten state. My admin, director, is setting me up with her attorney, I’m looking at suing DCHA as well as IHA, not that I’ll get much but maybe there’ll be enough of a stink raised that someone in DC will catch the drift. After all we are entering a election season. Granted IHA is not a state run agency(it ought to be) , but those dollars flowing in there that hey bill the Union Yankee government for rents each month through HUD, is.

The reason our Government agencies are tapped is whether its housing, Medicaid, Medicare, and so on are billing the Government zillions of dollars a month, for plain BS. I have an idea, lets get a Government employee in all these agencies doing the billing to oversee, the operation of that public agency to make sure the Tax payers aren’t getting milked.

Starting in October I’m going to do an indepth set of shows on Idaho Housing Authority, and a few connected with it. See how you the American Tax Payer in Idaho are getting it up the butt.

Keep it tween the ditches.

L8R Ya’ll
