It's a beautiful day, had a full night of sleep, sorry was just too into snoozing to get on the air this morning, I'll make it up tonight. So had some great visionary dreams, and then the brick wall hit. Wake up, and see my former associate at the shop, insulting me up one side to another. My loyalty is not a long suit is it. So I'll try to define some of the manure that my former associate, spewed. First the thing at NGL, that's a wireless internet service here in Evansgone. I can't help it if some young filly gets her feathers all ruffled if someone gives her any kind of a kidding, or sarcastic humor. Sheesh, I am no different with her, than I am with many others , whose feelings are not on her sleeves. Nothing happened there, nothing was intended, but my , my , my, what a tender thing this was. Sorry, hell I even apologized 18 times. Heck it just must be the mindset here in Evansgone. Every one is so SENSE I TIVE more like IN-SENSE-I-TIVE there is no sense to it. Has this town had so much terror heaped on it that someone giving it a bit of ribbing makes everyone so nervous. Sheesh. I used to think Utah was im mature. Then came the comment from my former associate, on making it in a small town, word of mouth and all. Hazzard Idaho has now just a tad over 1500 people in it, when I lived and I mean LIVED there, a very rural small town, and while I wont say everybody there loved me, nor any of the Knytes, still they all gave me the benefit of the doubt, plus they also knew we as a club and my constant work on the towns behalf is why even today it is what it is. I have lived again I say LIVED in both small towns, big towns big cities and I have never , ever seen such a scared bunch of sheep in my life. If someone here says boo, all too many hide. It wasn't always that way here. I remember whence it was vibrant and ready to take on the world. When I first moved here to patch up things with my xyl Monkee Janice, there was the spirit of anything and everything here was possible. Bars poured until 02:30, three places served food until 03:00 and few even were spooked to visiting someones home to get in on a radio gig. Satellite radio was even possible then due to a satellite upload system that was near here in Fort Bridger. When I came up a few years later after being conned into a thing over in Cokeville, Tammy and I had an operation both broadcasting and all that rivaled just about anything in Metro Utah, but my impatience moved me back to Idaho. Which by the highway, Tammy and clan had to move there as well. Some realize that after they bad mouth and punish me long enough, and I leave, that having me around wasn't such a bad thing after all.
When my former associate , joined up with me at the shop, forcing someone else out, I knew there might be a problem, Good, bad or tother, you don't tell someone your going into business with, that their ride or rides are clown cars, you don't call them Panty Clause, you don't constantly insult them, but its been continual. When we went to fetch LexiBelle, in November, which that in itself was a mistake, as it all has turned out, I was fully tempted to just stay put there in Twin Falls and tell Rick adios then, then come over December 1st, load up my stuff and say it was nice, now you deal with this damn town. Nope I trusted my former associate, but like Nate told me, never take on partners.
More on the next step next entry this afternoon, headed to the shop to start to clean up.

Good Morning ya'll , for you northeners, ya'll is the definition of you'ns plus three. Okay, yesterday all too many including the billions of dollars spent watched the final gig of the NFL season, and the SuperBowl, as in Superbowl-50. Fine Denver won, like who cares? And one of the Manning's did his final battle, again who cares? I am not going to say that I'm sorry or apologize for not watching the damn thing. I am an American, from the land of Dixie, and as such I don't give a rats ass, about an Americanized version of Rugby, I don't care about Golf, or Baseball, but give me tires smokin, gas burning , 600 miles of uncontrolled stock car, and just try to keep me away from a TV. I love NASCAR, although over the last few years, even NASCAR has succumed to economic downturns, rain delays, over excessive rules, and sadly commercializm, but still 45 people going to the line for a checkered flag, at 200 mph, you have my undivided attention, about as much even maybe more than a fine looking lady in a pair of colored nylons and a mini skirt. Gotta have the nylons to get my attention, bare legs are not where its at for me.
Yesterday I stopped by the shop, waiting for Rick, talked a bit with Jim a great friend and associate, as well as one I absorb knowledge from. Even at 56 I still respect and gain knowledge from those older than me. They have done things that I haven't nor have seen what they have. Too bad others can't or wont see that, being older means being a bit more experienced than them, and knowing things that they were not even born yet to know. Just like Rick my partner in the shop, hell 46 years ago, Rick was barely a toddler when I started towing, I had lived a longer career life than he had, and yet he seldom takes advice. Even Jim though agreed with me, that the way the shop has gone, is why its the way it is. You can't throw out customers and paying work to fart around with your own toys, nor ignore the rig that will make you money.
Taking the day completely off today, just soaking in the tub, sleeping, and pampering myself, hey us Tarus's need our pampering, just like we require our creature comforts. Will be on the air at 18:00 tonite on www.livestream.com/hazzardayre as well as overnight on www.livestream.com/speedwrenchradio

If one were to consider how unimportant my cares are , you have to agree that I have one of the best gigs of life that anyone on Earth could have, a mildly successful hot rod hobby shop, a good place to live , and of course a online radio station network, about to go into overdrive based out of western Utah. As it is my work day is getting out of bed when I want to, getting on air and since its on radio, I can even do it ,in my underwear. My commute is from bedroom, to the dining room where my in home studio is currently located. I have also within a 250 mile or 500 mile drive by highway one of 6 aircraft that I fly, I'm very blessed and lucky, so why am I none content, While LexiBelle my tow truck and all is sweet the inability to have a warm body sleeping next to me, no real outside of 3 here friends and no one to vent to, means its time to gather up the Wolf-Pack and transplant me back to where I belong, Evanston isn't that place, Twin Falls Idaho area is. I have tried everything that one could to light a fire under the idiotic rear ends of a rather stubborn population here, and while there is a ongoing turf war in Idaho between the club and some stiffnecked people in Mountain Home, at least when I placed ads for on air help, when there was needs of visual aids like models for club ads and such, and when I got blue I had Erin to have coffee with or Ricky to go truckin with so I could vent. That's just not here. Brittney Spears has about the same problem, fame, money and all, but no one that really cares. I'm just done. So as much effort as I have put into trying to light the commerce fire in Evanston as I have done, I'm putting into getting my ass back to western Idaho.

Yesterday the power company here cut the flow of juice to the shop, for past due. Blaming anyone except myself , while I could , would not be proper. However that said lets look at the entire picture. 3 partners, since May 2015. None believed in calling it by its original name Hazzard County Choppers with the full flavor and spice to being a mini Hazzard County museum. Everybody there wanted to pursue their dream, dividing it up calling it multiple names and visions. Trouble is no sales, no increase in customer volume, nor toew calls. Likewise, a month ago, Rick says I ought to rename the toewing side from Highway Hooker Toewing to SpeedWrench Toewing. Which I did, results? Not even one toew call , no road service call, nothing. Reason? Highway Hooker Toewing added spice and a curiosity that trended to truckers wanting and needing toewing and road service. Next HazzardAyre Radio has the ability to generate money for the shop, through other business' buying advertising air time from HazzardAyre Radio, that goes into supporting the shop. From Hazzard County Choppers, to Highway Hooker Toewing it was all in continuity. When other things got piled on, everybody going in ten different directions and customers becoming confused as to just what is at that shop, who was running it, and if even the Knytes were still in command. The public is at many times not too tightly wrapped, and get confused and not knowing what is or isn't at the shop. With the loss of the electricity, and all that, with revenues decreasing if hardly there, under the current administration, maybe its time, to cut away all the other names, directions and well, foundation of why I rented that shop in the first place. It's time to unleash Hazzard County Choppers, Highway-Hooker/SpeedWrench Toewing, and get to a point of purchase of being everything Hazzard County, and southern culture in Wyoming. And the HQ shop in Wyoming of SAMCRO/Knytes-of-Dixie MC. Recruiting , train, and put to work people no matter gender, to selling advertising air time for HazzardAyre Radio, so that can generate the everyday daily income to the shop. Putting Highway Hooker Toewing back into play to generate toew calls and road service calls. And get LexiBelle, and Little Wolf, back in the game. Then we'll have the money each month to pay the rent, pay the power and gas bill, and all the rest of the bills. Which gets me back to something I said yesterday, and what I've been barking about for the last two or better weeks. Its time to get serious about a performance bike and custom truck shop, a toewing service, and not a big boys hobby tinker shop.
My leg is still somewhat swollen, and I still have pain in the back of my calves from the double DVT attack, so still taking today both off the air and away from the shop, but have plans on heating things up Friday.
More in the afternoon edition.

Before ya'll think I've went all geeky and Treky remove the thought from your thoughts. But there is a foundation to the terms used herein and that date back to mid 1999 earth solar year. Long before that in 1994 a quilt was constructed for me called the Eagle-Star Quilt. Its name comes from an ancient tribal native American quilt by the same name. Now as this relates at the time there was a need to merge StarWest Oil, and Iron Eagle Xpress together under a new company as Iron Eagle Xpress had been sold. Under the direction of the Montgomery Foundation board Trustee Bud Sant had directed that a new company be created. The quilt had the name so EagleStar Xpress, along with EagleStar air service . In 1999 earth solar year AyreWolf Aviation had replaced EagleStar Air Service, so at the time the company was renamed EagleWolf Inc. Retaining EagleStar Xpress. A 25 truck 18 trailer LTL trucking company and flying company. SpeedWrench and Highway Hooker Toewing was created in the beginning as fleet support priority units of EagleWolf Inc. With the death of Trustee Bud Sant in 2013 a new company was born called SouthernEagle Xpress, and blended with AyreWolf Aviation and so it is EagleWolf Inc. is today. In this section of HazzardAyre Gazzette, I will report the news of the company EagleWolf Inc.
How Starfleet is mixed in, in my next entry.
Makes you wonder don't it? If you have soft mittens and you forget which is right or left, all you need to do is turn over the mitten and it'll fit either hand. Same goes with socks. Socks don't care which foot you put em on, since they fit either foot equally. Shoes are more picky. Then there is toilet paper, no matter how you unroll it off the spool, it works the same way no matter which side you use. Or if your watching a murder mystery. Example the movie on LMN called ," The Boy Next Door", the deputy committed the crime, had a portable two way strapped to his butt, and unless the Sheriff hadn't used his radio, wouldn't the deputy know the Sheriff was coming? Anyone who has experienced the phenom of mobile two way communications through or around a cop knows, those radios monitor every dang cop in the city, county and surrounding area. So why wouldn't this deputy on that TV Movie know the Sheriff was coming? There is troubles in continuity, in TV productions and movies. Or product placement from donors in films and TV, if there's a financial contributor to the production there's a Box of Kellogs on the counter. I noticed that this morning on the B&W version of the Beverley HillBillies that's on METV from Salt Lake City. There was Jethro scarffing down the Frosted Flakes and there was the box on the counter, and I thought , my even then. Or the cable or other utility tech that comes to your home, with muddy or snowy boots, that drills holes in the wall, but does not clean up after? Some service shops do that too, the wrench in there does the work, but never cleans up the grease, oil and all off the steering wheel or the floor. BTW Hazzard County Choppers/Rowley's Garage never leaves a project messy, we vaccum out the car, clean up stains and in the summer BoB details the inside of the car with a full service or repair. It's called attention to details, and while its old skool we still have pride and make sure your satisfied. Maybe that's why we are the busiest little shop in Evanston . But getting back don't these people producing films and TV dramas pay attention? I used to wonder about that even on our beloved Dukes, and I wondered about this on set when I worked there summers, but first you'd see Roscoe in a Plymouth Fury 3 , but as it jumped or did the stunt, you saw one of three makes, first the Plymouth, then to a Ford Torino, then a AMC Ambasador then back to the Plymouth. Or the episode that Daisy fought in the mud with a historical librarian that Daisy's nylons had a run, in em on one part of the scene, but disappeared in the next scene, guess couldn't have Daisy's nylons showing a run in em now could we? Still working on getting the $5k from the Montgomery Foundation's recovery, with rent and a ton of bills about to hit next week, along with shop rent and all, I'm sweating bullits. Thing holding it back is proving to the bank, and legal entities, that 2nd Cousin Shari has power of attorney to sign documents relating to the Foundation(Trust) . So I'm looking at going down there come Monday, if we can't get this wrapped. But ya'll got to hand it to my second cousin Shari, here she is with 4 kids, a husband , she's working 2 jobs, and yet she's doing her best to get this Money direct to me. So to Mr. Voss and all rent for the shop, and to AllWest, things may get to you all late, but they'll get there, its just red tape. Some things just take longer than you expect, and its called Murphy's Law, Murphy must have lived in Hazzard County.

By now you've heard or seen this, if you haven't well that's okay. The preacher that was in Iranian custody who had ties in Idaho, comes home to find his xyl, wants a divorce. Really? Nothing new there though, how many times have you seen that? Guy gets out of jail or custody and finds his old lady gave him the boot? Happens all the time. Fidelity is not guarenteed , when hubby away, xyl's love to play then shit hits the skid, she loves all the new attention then leaves the guy. Wonder if in fact if its her that gets locked up if he goes out and shows off his manhood and lusts, then gives her the boot? I don't think so, since most guys I know are loyal, but then what would you expect from the WolfPack?
As you may know or have seen, the stand off in Oregon near Burns, has taken a turn for the worst. Reports are that two got shot, even after the two perps showed they were not armed. Seems as though a few law keepers including a couple of FBI guys are going to have to answer to that. Noticed that Kim Fields was there doing field reporting as well as recently getting bumped up to an anchors seat. Too bad we don't have someone here at HazzardAyre Radio that dedicated. Maybe we need to have our HQ in Boise? Male or female, we'd welcome that kind of media person here.
Want to make nutrition bars? Well Twin Falls is gaining a plant to make them. The company is going to hire an estimated 200 full time workers, and a few part timers. Meaning jobs and scratch cash. And then people wonder why I'm sniffing around thinking of moving back there. You go where the money is.
Finally, HazzardAyre's show SpeedWrench Radio will air at 20:00 hours, maybe by then Livestream can correct the problem with archiving the show, last nights didn't. Watch and see if that's not upgraded soon.
