I say, practice what you preach or at least admit your a bigot against another view point

There was a time not that many years ago, in fact during the prelim discussions with Kim Lee, on the Knytes buying KBAR, there, that I was tuned into Zeb's show as I always do in the mid morning when over there. Now the precursor to my rant here is this. Two days before, I read in what was a competing news rag of Cassia County, about a historian and distant kin of a Northern Yankee Army Veteran of the grand war or northern invasion to the southland. Of course I stood up as any good Confederate would and asked, who this guy was and how about me going to the same schools during this guys presentation and tell those students the real history of that conflict, from one of a Confederate view. You could hear the crickets. So that one day, there was a gap in Zeb's show, so I called in and wanted to talk the southern side, as the cry for getting rid of our flag of Dixie was just starting. I got two minutes into what I wanted to say, got cut off, and thus forced to shut up. 
Then last week I think it was Thursday last's show that Zeb was saying we all should get involved, get active, voice and bark and howl on issues and policies we feel passionate about. On the issues of Southern heritage and all Zeb and I are light years apart. You have to excuse him, he's a Yankee, and as we say in the south taking from the Bible, Forgive them Yankees for they know not what they do. I will say this too and this was why I think Kim pulled the plug on the sale of KBAR to us. The Knytes , myself, and of course our aviation wing are the real Wolves in amongst the sheep. We do not follow protocol, we do not follw or blindly obey the establishment, we are the real radicals of both the airwaves, as well as the sky, and highway. Have been always will be. 
Now to this, like many kountry music entertainers have said it, you can't write, sing about things you really have not lived. The greats , Waylon, Willie and others have lived the events they sing about. It's their attitudes that to be true to your listeners and or audience you have to sing what you live, or it comes across all too phony. In radio Zeb and I have followed each other, mostly he follows us. As well as me, I write a blog, Zeb writes a blog, I go online with my show, Zeb goes online with his show, although I will say that Livestream, that carries ours is much better than that radioloyalty outfit Zeb uses. Yet after 6 years, Zeb knowing us in the Modern Confederacy as we are, I have yet to have Zeb call me and discuss the issue over our flag, the bath room situation in Mississippi and North Carolina. Two states that are in the heart of what I will call the Rebel Dixie belt. I say this to Zeb, instead of just barking about telling, people to get involved with issues and such they are passionate about , or, our point on Confederate matters why not call me on the phone and let us say our rant on your show. 
Okay then next entry, With Twin Falls Idaho growing faster than Marijiana plants, the fact is, and I've said it many times, if the the local paper in Twin Falls area, wants to really give a hat's off to the one organization that put the Magic Valley of Idaho, on any big corporate companies radar, how about doing a story about us, our club, the Hazzard Knytes/Knytes-of-Dixie? I'd go more into it, but it requires a full article , but I dare the Times News, to get out of their safe box, and recognize that if it wasn't for the Knytes-of-Dixie, the entire area from Burley, to Bliss would be going backwards. There is more history in our organization than just about any civil or hobby organization in that valley. An organization that started with a youth based CB radio club that presented a truckers/cb'ers Jamboree in 1975 at the Filer Fairgrounds, that trippled the local population by 300,000 in a week, to our organizing at the , then polish Palace, now Snake River Grill in Hagerman with 15 youth, and creating an organization that is now just over 150,000 people around the globe, 50,000 just in the North American Union. No, and I mean NO organization has invested more, opened more doors, or has spent the hours working for that community than the Knytes-of-Dixie. Now there's an article and it has one emblem it is this
 We believe in it, we love it and we obey it. We know its not a symbol of hate, slavery, racism, or anything that it shouldn't. We know it's a symbol, of love, truth, family, and faith.

Welcome to a scared and reluctant nation. The way out is grit , determination and pulling your head out of your six




















If we watch TV or movies we are enthrawlled with the heros, that get it done no matter what. They give the bird to the establishment and fight the system. For Hazzard County people it was always Bo & Luke Duke with a mucho amount of assistance from Cooter, Daisy, and Uncle Jessie. For Airwolf fans it was String Hawk with a bunch of help from Dom, and Caitlan and quite a few others. But we have a great hero or two, and I'll get to us in a few bars here.
That hero is a man named Zeb Bell. I met Zeb first at a gig in 1977/78 somewhere. I was part timing at radio station KLIX, AM 1310 back when Charlie Tuma ran it. I was being a filler person, inside a big yellow chicken called the KLIX KLUCKER, Zeb was covering the same gig, put on by then KMVT called AGRI-ACTION. On my breaks I'd sit down with Zeb and churn over radio war stories. Later I got together with him at the JB's Big Boy where we supposed to have lunch. One of my radio crew and I attended. Wouldn't you know it , my damn check from cousin Bud was running late, so Zeb bought breakfast. Zeb was going to put something together with us, but Gina killed the thing, But thing is I admire Zeb, he always says it as it is without much fanfare, nor caring much what those who oppose him have to say about it. In 2012 it was pitched to me that HazzardAyre buy KBAR. Over several weeks we thought we had that in the bag. Thing is at the last minute Kim Lee , pulled that plug, but HazzardAyre Radio went on anyway. We put up our own tower, we went on the air from our own 100 watt FM and said we don't care. HazzardAyre has never backed down from a challenge or withdrew because of a road block. Maybe its the Marine do or die attitude we have as club members(Remember Luke Duke did service in the Marines at least in Dukes story lines) maybe its Hazzard County tenacity and attitude, and as it says at the end of the title song to the Dukes, Fighting the System. With that said, by now you can figure out that what we are, is not always what you might think of as a network , station, or program born in Southern Idaho. We're working to retransmit Zeb's show hereto northern Utah/Western Wyoming on HazzardAyre Radio.
Been fussing to get a couple of honey's from the Boise area for our websites cover pages, TV ad's and such. I am reminded of the words of Uncle Jessie Duke, when he told us, when your getting ready to fill your bucket with water , make sure what you think is water is not a mirage. As such I'm thinking that 80% of what someone says or does or offers on such social sites as Facebook is pure garbage and only 10 to 20 % real. I caught a bunch of suggested sites on Facebook a month ago, from what I saw as a big new crop of model/acting talent coming out of the Boise valley. What I'm finding is and this goes to a thought, just because some gal gets inked, does not mean they are radical or rebel, most are still very reserved and withdrawn. So for two or so weeks I've been calling , chatting and messaging these gals, only to find no calls. No results. What does one have to do? Go to Los Angeles, Nashville, Atlanta or Miami for model/screen talent? Sure Salt Lake City has one partly qualified agency, the rest there are part time, hardly paying anything, LDS centered agencies. So one talent says to contact another gal. So I did. Now I may be stupid on some things after all I was raised in Hazzard Idaho. But I know if this was being headed by a female or woman casting agent, the line would be so long that you'd be serving pizza slices to those waiting to be auditioned. Sure, Evanston Wyoming is probably not the first place one thinks of when casting a gig. But dig this Park City Utah  home of the Sundance Film Festival is 45 miles away from us. Salt Lake City is a mere 80 miles away, One would think that with a model/acting contract on the line of $350k that's $350,000.00 that you'd get a return phone call. The $350K is not just for the promotion of the online side of our radio/TV operation, mid 2017 it is planned to do a full length motion picture of the history and legacy of the Hazzard Knytes/Knytes(Knights) of Dixie. There is big things planned here, but for some unknown reason, talent is reluctant. Okay then, it is an election season. The candidates are all but organized. It's more finger shaking and BIG Shafts contests. Most anyone is looking at being reluctant to doing anything until after the elections are over. I have always said, that you can't move forward until you are willing to step forward. HazzardAyre by its founding in southern culture , is always and I say it again, hell bound on voting confederate at all times. It is that when I hear Zeb play our nations primary anthem, I'm always put off that he wont play the southern Anthem as well. Outside the station and my shop, as well as in my home, I proudly fly that Dixie flag. I'm proud of her, and know that , that flag is the saving grace of this nation. Confederate's seldom retreat, we did it 150 years ago, and yet, this nation has continued to become corrupt ever since. Had Jefferson Davis won, along with Robert E, this nation might not be in the tar pits it is now. Here in the Knytes-of-Dixie, the owners of HazzardAyre Radio, do not do what we do for the money, we do it for the cause of raising the south, and proclaming the legacy of well, Dixie. Now if the model talent and all will just get on board.

Win some, loose some, no harm , no foul

Ya win some and you loose some, it's the nature of life. Lexi said no, due to a conflict with her guy pal, not keen on her hanging with a bunch of rebel southern bikers and gearheads, so we lost there. However my thought is simple here, once she sees the club meeting at the Legal, and other none resident model gals there , I'd be willing to wager a full tank of diesel , she'd break loose. It was the same thing with Tammy, she poo-pooed us for a many months, once a few hotties showed up at the Lotty's, it was , hey no body is stealing her thunder and she was up for it. The rest there is history.
Okay then got news on The Reaper Club today. It can be had for $250k, so we see what bubbles. Although I'm excited , the reality of , if you have to import everything else from Idaho and Utah, might this gig play better there? So I'm being a bit gun shy on things. Let ya'll know. The fact is HazzardAyre Radio can move just about anywhere there's broadband Internet, since it is at its core a online station. Pocatello is looking good.
Last but not least, getting things patched with Shelly, I got to thinking the other night after church, that hey, I'm not getting younger, I'm not Mr. GQ, and Shelly might just be the best I get, so why not see where it goes. Still haven't heard squat from that Drag strip board, so that's another concern. 
Been a long day, finally got oil for the General JaXson, Shelly came out in a taxi, with some, went up to the Legal, where Lexi gave me the bad news, oh well, like I said, Win some loose some, its normal, once upon a time this would piss me off, these days it'd be more of a shock if a model, much less an on air radio talent showed up, that did the task we ask, and do it right the first time, but as a model agency owner told me once, as big as both Boise and Salt Lake City is, it ain't Los Angeles, Nashville or Atlanta. It's low grade talent at best and you get lack luster results. There is another thing that was once said, You can't progress, if you keep doing the same things the same ways. 
Tried to call that Armada talent agency today. As usual, got only a no answer, leave a message, my thoughts? Either a gone by night agency part fraud, or they too, no matter if they do, do, tattooed gals, they might not be hip to having their sweet honey's hanging around a bunch of southern fried gearheads and or pilots. I'm holding out for two an Ally, and an Alexandra from up Boise way, but one thing that remains solid, that is HazzardAyre(air) Radio.

Now Page Two why models and such for a radio station?

I have been asked and at times chastized over the need to find , recruit and employ female models and talent for things HazzardAyre as well as the club. This all started back in 1974, when I got a sponsor for a race car from Dittos Jeans, through a department store called Pedersons , now known as Pederson's Ski And Sports. It was agreed that if they gave me money for racing, I'd supply the female model talent at the events I raced at wearing Dittos jeans. So I did, then it was 1980 that the roots of things Hazzard was taking hold, with a shop named the Hazzard County Garage, and maintaining continuity of the show on the shops TV ads, you should have a Daisy. Which is what started the interest in legs in nylons and such since networks and stations at the time made it a rule due to network censors that you could NOT have bare legs, on TV. So enter in the nylons. The first ad we produced was where at the end of the ad, I would kiss the models toes, playing on two words TOW and TOE, in that we luv(love) Toews. Putting the two words together. But that was my shop part of the story. As far as the club was concerned we were in the mindset that where hot girls and women were, there be guys into hot rods and customs and thus recruit members into the club. As far as the AyreWolvez were concerned the concept of models on TV or in print stems from, the concept of the nose art or pin up girls that were on military aircraft. It goes though even further, if your going to do up a TV ad, or a website, you really want something with sizzle. Not just a generic page that might or MIGHT not get seen or viewed. How do you do that, put a hot gal with or without tatts, by a ride, bike, truck or aircraft, in a short skirt . Have her read copy and you have an ad that most genuine male corpuscles will read , view and buy from. Now as far as the on air part.
That I got tuning into an old over the road truckers show that aired on KOB 77 out of New Mexico, called Joc Radio. They had weather and road spotters that would call in, which evolved into having in studio on air talent female of course, as male truckers loved to hear a velvety female voice as they moved freight, late at night. Of course later on there was a OTR drivers show called Interstate Trucker RAdio, which we as a organization bought in 1986. Which turned into Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio. A part of still HazzardAyre. Any mile, ITR had women co anchors or hosts, and again drivers really tuned in. It wasn't though until I caught on air at first then later his movie, Howard Stern , had Robin Quivers, who was his female second seat. I could go on here, but that's the way and reason we still today scout for and hire model and on air talent of hot looking gals.

If you don't tell lies about me , I wont tell the truth about you

Good morning friends it is Monday morning and I am in good spirits, just letting my pants dry so I can get dressed and get this day going. Seems though some days you can't get it into second even if you double clutch it. 
Saw a bunch of garbage on a former FaceBook group i subscribed to. The group was supposed to be for those who haul cattle and livestock, which I do part time, yes one of many things I do to keep food on my table. What I rapidly found was a bunch of posts that are, not were , but are porn or porn related. With very little to do with bull hauling. Or trucking. So I did what one should do when faced with such things, I unsubscribed. Now I need to interject this , because it has changed my way of thinking. Years ago, seeing something sexually related was a hey great they're breaking the great barrier, today, after going to Church, the love of one family to me who belong to the church and serve our Ward, our Bishop, who I think could nearly walk on water, I see things so much differently. Sure I love tastefully done pics and photos of women with trucks, bikes, aircraft and so on, but when it has to do with outright exhibitions of body parts, except for legs, and such, I must turn away. I also don't like sexually related discussions of things crude. There is a vast gap, between the discussion, of relationships and such topics, and just being trashy. The trashy side, I'm no longer into, and the attitude of both the Knytes as well as the AyreWolvez is equal. For example, this is permissable 
 This is not 
 If that is what your into, your not into things Hazzard County and should just pass us on bye. This is what we call sexy 
 This is not 
 Okay then let's move on here. Turned on RFDTV, this morning after going through all too many news or what I call tabloid news networks. All talking about Trump, and Clinton and so on. Bullsbreath. This election season has been roughly volatile to say the least. Quite frankly, I wouldn't vote for any of these clowns. It's a Presidential run based on stardom rather than correcting the ills that challenge this nation. So as I watched RFDTV , and seeing the plugs for writing the FCC to preserve that channel, I look at the related emails, I wrote even going all the way back to 2009 when the Knytes and I wanted to air membership recruiting and company ads on RFDTV. We were shut down, flat with comments relating to our exploiting of women, yet they air, HeeHaw. Not saying anything bad against HeeHaw, I still say that a new version of HeeHaw could be done today. New scripts, new story lines, yet RFDTV said no. Well how many times over the last 6 years, have you heard that RFDTV has been dropped from cable systems, and stations, like KBAX out of Twin Falls Idaho, to now being given the boot completely? Maybe the CEO of RFDTV might want to give us a call and join not fight the Knytes.  Now this on that; RFDTV says they are on air 24/7/365 for rural America, they ain't. RFDTV shuts off at 01:00 (1:00AM) and runs infomercials all night. Who is on 24/7/365? HazzardAyre Radio and Dixie-Nation TV. Finally I want to close with this. I get all too many people that tell me that there is no place called Hazzard Idaho, well my friends, here's Hazzard Idaho's main street 
 Welcome to Hazzard Idaho the way America was and longs to be, today. HazzardAyre on air this afternoon.

OOps Yahoo is having a headache and throwing up

If you got up this morning and went to Yahoo.com and tried to get to your FRee Yahoo mail, you might have found it did not work , as Bro would say fidn'tdidn't as I tried, that but to no avail. Yahoo has been having a bunch of problems here lately, both from a tech problem, to administrative including financial problems. The company is being sold off by the way in chunks, supposedly to shore up major cash, and beef up its core business's one being its free email piece. The problem is Yahoo, hasn't kept up very well on its core business, or even returning phone calls for ad buyers. So it means, that most of if not all of what the club has on Yahoo, will have to be taken off and as a club scrub using Yahoo. 
Went out to Nate's last night , looked at the freshly painted truck he did up for his lady, great job, some extras I would have added to a moderate custom , would have been side pipes along the bottom of both the bed not stacks , more like lake pipes, and a strip or two of chicken lights, along with some silver fade to white ghost flames, but overall a great job. Coming back just a 1/4 mile from Nate's shop is our shop , having a coughing fit, nearly flew by our shop. 
Of course never made it back here to the Wolf's Lair in time to do up this mornings show on HazzardAyre(www.livestream.com/hazzardayre , but will give it a go this midnight, as I have a bunch of production to do yet. Which brings me to the simple things that I have been writing about for the last month and a half. For HazzardAyre Radio and all its offsprings to operate on a timely manner and on schedule, there has to be more than just me doing the heavy lifting. Sure in years gone by there were those that did the muscle as well as light duty here, but most of the clubs are overseas doing aviation duties in the Marines and Navy, so I'm here keeping the home fires burning, trouble is those fires are turning into small glowing coals. I have gotten so many promises from various people that want to step in or asked to step in to do various programming and producing here. Trouble is there, they find the many hours it takes, and they decide its not their piece of cake. Which is why I'm busting balls to get Lexi or someone like her(there is no one like her , here in Evanston, she's too purrfect) to join our 
 to write copy, produce segments as well as host and co-host co anchor shows here. If I got at least 6 in the team, I could qualify the club to invest in moving this out of the Wolf's Lair to an office/studio, as it is, that would be a waste of time. Which brings me to the opinion of most of the club, if there are the human resources in either Boise, Idaho Falls, Idaho and/or Salt Lake City Utah, would it be more of an advantage, to move the radio gig there, sell the license in Evanston, Wyoming and be done with it? More on that in the afternoon edition, but I have talked to many people, two who said they wanted to jump in, in fact had breakfast one morning with one, yet neither has come to the Wolf's Lair, to do any mock up shows, let alone anything live. These same people will jump up in time as other people from our small community become involved, we are making progress, but it takes so much out of me, that I do wonder, would heading to Utah or Idaho's capitol cities make more sense, more over make more dollars?
So If you woke up to Yahoo.com and couldn't fetch your mail you were not alone. Let ya'll know when and if it gets fixed.

Took the day off and went on a one horse quarter horse to hunt for treasure

Some times its great to turn down the flames a bit and go back to an era of backwoods trails, and no people. Few places offer that any more especially with cell phones and wifi, but Saturday I shed that lead and went up into the hills surrounding the small Wyoming town of Afton Wyoming. The goal was to see if we could find that buried treasure of that gold that was stolen in the mid 19th Century by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid from Montpelier Idaho. Legend has it where the two outlaws robbed what is now the Wells Fargo Bank there and in the get away buried their loot in a big box between Montpelier Idaho and Afton Wyoming in a small hidden canyon. The haul was valued then in the area of $500k of Gold coins, who knows what it's worth today. It wasn't so much of finding that , but the adventure in the attempt. So at 07:00 Hours, 2nd cousin Brady, came over, grabbed me out of bed, and over to Montpelier we went. Got there at the Bear Lake County Fairgrounds and mounted horses. First of all I haven't been horseback in years but I adapted well. We had lunch in that back country, at 13:00 hours, and just rode most of the day. I was able to unwind from weeks and months of tension and stress. Got back here at 20:00 hours , unloaded my bowels, and just getting ready to go take a bath. Head for bed, and be ready for church in the morning. 
It was a great day, a bit on the cold side weather wise but it was nice to just be out amongst nature and Heavenly Father. I also saw a bunch of economic improvement in and around Montpelier, and surrounding area. Did make me start thinking. When I got home and turned on my Cell phone, I saw that Dave and Nate called, but figured they had better things to do that hear from me , so decided not to call. Monday I'll call the Real Estate lady, on the bars, and take care of that, plus shift a few things around, to spend more time at the shop and reduce time spent on the radio gig, one is easier than the other. The shop and LexiBelle will make me money, the latter will too, but that takes more human resources than I think is available here in Evanston. What I have found is, maybe one even 3 people that could with little instruction come into a studio, sit down and do a full hour or so of a radio show. More over few that want to be an engineer on the project, where even Montpelier has 10 people that can step in to do that, causes one to give the entire situation a bunch of thought. Any mile , I wont be on air as promised since my body needs sleep. I'll be on Sunday afternoon after church. 
All in all it was a fantastic day, something I need to do more, not less.
