The SAMCRO CHANNEL !!!

 It don’t get no plainer than that.

As it is getting spring at least its supposed to be spring, although finding the season of Spring is as illusive as a government check in the mail after tax time, it seems as though we as a populas are going from winter to Summer. That being that.

Many of a two wheeled open road personality are faunching at the bit to get out and ride.

We have went on two joint club rides over the last two months, but most were short tailed after getting wet on both.

Living under a grain feed mill has really been playing hell on my allergies. Seems I’m taking more meds to breathe and sleeping more than I want to but hey, its relief. I’m glad that the move is nearly done so I can get to living out in the open ayre rather than under a fish feed grinder every day. Seems the only day I can breathe is when that damn mill is closed and workers are off which is Sunday.

The move is something I wanted to bring up as it relates to some of the quirkiness that’s been going on with the club, both SAMCRO MC and the Knytes.

We are in a state of transition , both in making a home HQ for both clubs as well as myself. One would argue , one is in the same. Not so. The club has been under a heavy taxation thing, at least in Idaho, so there has been some discussion of finding another cover for the HQ in Idaho or just moving in with the Utah Charter. And setting up the HQ for both in nearby Tremonton, or Ogden.  As far as that is concerned, the Knytes are looking at the same thing. I would drop Idaho at least western Idaho in the drop of a pussy hair if it was not for the fact that a shop has been leased for a year , so in the intrum I have convinced Curt, to forestall from pulling the charter for the Knytes from Idaho for at least a year.

The success or lack thereof, of a few of our projects will determine, if Idaho remains so much brain dead to accept or reject operations as we have determined them.

Reminder : The SAMCRO/IDAHO membership meeting for May has been bumped to June 4th . 

Another reminder: The annual Summer thaw ride in, for all of SAMCRO MC will be on July 2nd, at Wendover Utah.

Last, nominations and applicants for MISS SAMCRO MC, needs to be in to SAMCRO in ChowChilla CA no later than Saturday June 18th.

Until L8R Bro’s

 

The Wolvez putting on sheep’s clothing.

One of the things both us in the AyreWolvez as well as the Knytes have not done well, if at all is play nice in the sandbox with others. The club is unison has never networked well with those that could have or would have helped the groups to advance or rise to the altitudes that we should have.

However at Thursday nights meeting held at the Wolf’s Den, here in Burley we all came to the conclusion that maybe pulling back on the fight the system attitude and network with both media and other groups that have like minded philosophies. So what does that mean? It means being so sexual in imprints and appearances. Rather be a bit more subdued and a bit more tame in operations, at least outside to the none military aviation and classic and custom ride communities. An old guy that truly is a legend in this business of customs , Bill Baulding of Boise, said it once, If I want to look at a screw book, I’ll buy a screw book, if I want to look at hot rods, I buy a hot rod book. The two , do not have to be blended together.

Now this might be me, and/or the club, that is mellowing in our older age, and make no mistake, I have no plans on turning queer, or that my admiration for a hot bod posing with a hot rod, in a publication or showing stuff off on TV. Nor do I have anything wrong with recruiting gals to be a focal point for doing new age nose art on a vintage warbird. But lets face it, the amounts of that kind of talent is far and few, more over, even if there is , the attitudes in our small community, that stretches from Malta to Mountain Home, and all parts within that circle, is to restrictive to allow anyone to do much of anything that extends out of the accepted standards. If you do, you are shunned, and boycotted. Could that be why the clubs projects, are still being self funded instead gaining outside sponsors?

So extending a peace branch, to some of our area broadcasters etc and saying lets stop fighting and us working with them , might gain us , well some better fruit from the same near bare tree’s we been picking from.

So in a few weeks, I’m out shopping and talking to the important people.

As I close, and I mean this not in a derogatory way, but have you noticed how KMVT has been directly attacking their competitors? As far as the best news station in the valley? While it may be a fact that many more people watch KMVT for local news, than CH-7 or FoX – 35, I’ll bet you money that if even one of them did more Magic Valley oriented news that people would flock to them. Oh wait though, have you noticed two things? A KMVT has not said or compared themselves to HazzardAyre TV? Or HazzardAyre News? The other thing that all news outlets do is bark about the same thing and do it twice. Once at 18:00 hours, then again at 22:00 hours. Why not report something new? Or do a report on something not normally covered? Say like truckers news, truckers weather, oh wait a second that’s what we do, and we do it better than the others do, because the foundation of the Knytes-of-Anarchy is being a truckers organization. Have you ever seen the tow show in Reno Nevada covered on a local TV news show? Outside of a tragic accident, have you ever seen any of the local TV stations do a diddy on any warbird enthusiasts group in Idaho. Granted there is only 3 , us,(The AyreWolvez) The group in Idaho Falls based at Fanning Field , and the WarHawks based at the Nampa/Caldwell Airport in Nampa. Have you ever seen any local news station go to the big airshow in Reno, or Oshkosh? What’s hideous about this, is right out KMVT’s back door right under their towers at the Jerome Butte, sits AirPower Unlimited and the Warbird museum. Yet have you ever seen a story on that? When KTVB did their road show this past week or so, did KTVB go out and take a look at that? Nope. And why didn’t KTVB on its road tour, take in such magical towns such as Hazzard(aka-Hagerman) If these TV stations, cain’t serve these communities better than they do, why not sell off one of their sub stations, like, KTVB, KSAW, or FoX-35, HazzardAyre is buying.

What I’m saying and giving a warning, to KMVT, do as it says, in the Bible, paraphrasing here, before you throw stones at another, best make sure your own house is in order first.

In nearly  39 years since mom and dad stupidly moved here in 1972-1/2 KMVT through as many configurations, under several managers, and three owners, has never improved. My Dad used to ask the question, “what rock did that reporter crawl out from under?” Until KMVT gets rid of some of the people that have been there for all too long, That dates back to when KMVT was under the same roof and in the same building I worked in when I was on air at KLIX AM 1310, then and only then , will KMVT become the area leader that they aspire to. But then too, that will be a tuff uphill climb, since HazzardAyre TV has them by their walnuts.

Until Saturday

Don’t Believe all that claim to have your best interests at heart

While there are exceptions to this rule, do not trust in everything that someone suggests to you as they have your best interests at heart.

Several recent and near recent events bring this to bare.

Nearly a year and a half ago, at the debacle that was our radio op’s in Gooding Idaho, our Nurse GoodBody along with some other gal that drug her through the mud, suggested that maybe so tweaking on my Physique might be in order. So I bought into it, after being poked and prodded it was by suggestion of this PSR Counselor that I move from mini Bliss to Twin Falls. After finding what I had been saying to him that there were far and in-between places that I could afford, we settled me in Buhl. Nothing against Buhl, as most have been very kind and supportive. But no shop, to rent and what is for rent commercially shop wise, I can’t afford. Office/studio for the radio op’s fine, but not shop. Then when I had committed to doing the radio op’s, the same PSR/Counselor says don’t do it. So I been putting it off.

Now there is no doubt, that I did not have a relocation project from Bliss in mind, but I had planned to move to Burley as I knew there was shop space there, then off to Utah, once that was operational, to do the HQ of our radio/TV/media Op’s for the club. In essence, I have screwed the pooch on a year and a half and am now just catching up. Now I am considering several things, but making my own decision without any more input from so called mental health professionals. I trust only one for my mental health and that is God.  The idea here was to get me lined up with someone that could eventually sign on the dotted line so I could be my own payee with SSI and so on. In fact money wise I’m nearly worse off than I ever was in Bliss. At least in Bliss and immediate area, I knew people from my youth that could help me out when SSI was a bit low, or not going toewing as much. In Buhl as helpful as they have been, I have found few that have said here’s a hand up to what you need to live etc. One young gal I know up at the Texaco Mini Market here, has helped once or twice, but she’s moving to Alaska.

Nobody and I do not expect them too, although a public thank you would be kool, still the reason that the McDonalds that’s here, and a few new business’s that have moved here in the last year, is because of KDXB/HazzardAyre Radio, and of course the Knytes-of-Anarchy/AyreWolvez. Yet the majority would rather spend ad dollars with radio and or TV stations in Twin Falls, instead of us, and we are much less cost than they are. But hey what ever floats the boat. Then the Buhl CofC wonders why I don’t join them? Really?

This is why the radio station license and all that the club owns here in Buhl is FOR SALE.

So where do we make our radio op’s HQ? Burley , and American Falls. Why? There is an allocation in the tiny town of Malta, that borders Idaho and Utah, likewise there is the station license we already own based out of American Falls. Nobody thinks that this is a bad idea, club wise. As growth is happening in nearby Pocatello, likewise being of service to our core membership of OTR truckers, mandates that we have a footprint on radio at the base of Sweetzer Summit, as well as the upper regions of northwestern Utah and Northeastern Nevada. Putting up our stick in Malta gives us and them that footprint, at least on Radio.

The final here is this; around the middle of June I’m telling the shrinks, thanx but no thanx. You’ve done quite enough damage. And then looking for the help I need over in Pocky, or that area.

The ones who say they have your best interests at heart, have only their own interests at heart.

The only saving grace I have had here , near. Is Our Nurse GoodBody, Ellie May, outside of her all I have gotten is empty promises.

The Great Rous of Modern Men and Women

I just finished watching a preacher on the INSP or Inspiration Channel on cable TV. As he quoted biblical chapters and verse, I followed along. At first I began getting into what he was barking about, he lost my trust in his words, when a few times he missed the mark on chapter and verse. Simple mistakes that anyone could make, but if your preaching in the name of Jesus Christ, should you not make sure what chapter and verse your quoting? Then he began talking on the Seed Principle, and that which you sow also ye shall reap, which I fully try to plant good seeds every day, but sometimes, its not the seed that is at fault, but the soil is not proper to grow that seed, that the seed does not render a harvest. That said as this preacher kept on, he barked about the revelation he got, saying that the numbers 2-7-3 were some sort of, as he put it a breakthrough number. He said that it would change everyone’s lives if they ponied up $273.00 . Going on to say that anyone could retire on that amount. He went on to say, he expected 3000 people to pony up that $273.00 , Hey I agree , that’s $819,000.00 . Yea I could retire on $200,000.00 shy of a million bucks too.

The Bible tells us that there will be many who will preach and claim to represent God and/or the Son. But its wise for us not to go there.

Just once I’d like to see on TV, or hear a preacher from whatever religion or church preach and say, “ Friends, I do not ask for, nor do I want you to give one dollar or even a penny. I will pray for you, this is the word of God” Just once , I’d like a religion to teach the gospel, and have the sacrament or Lords Supper, etc without throwing out a collection plate. Yes I know buildings for meetings, and so on need to be paid for somehow. But what about putting out a jar for donations at the front door and allow people to give what they can, and if they cain’t so be it. God’s love never has came with a price tag. We as people cain’t buy God’s love with any amount of money.

Yes the Bible is filled with verses of sacrificing of burnt offerings, and yes giving out of ones heart that what he or she feels they can is good, but to be accepted in a church or not , just because of what financial gifts you can muster up on Sunday, is not thinking clearly.

I have been going to a Church in Jerome, for a short time, and feel blessed because of it, while they do pass around the plate, I’m not felt belittled because I put in a few cents , while others put in some serious cash. I used to go to a Church in Wendell, over yonder, that it seemed like a contest between many of who could cough up the most money to put in the collection plate. This is not my place to Judge

As God has said by the measure you judge so shall you be judged. If we sit in the pews of a Church and measure the ability to be saved by what we put in a plate, I’d hate to see the judgment those will be judged.

But these same things are why, I follow one Church, made up of long haul truckers, bikers and military aviators, the Church is called the Amalgamated Church of Dixie, In our services, held on the REAL Sabbath day(Saturday) , you will never hear one sermon that has a price tag attached to it. Some of our members give what they can money wize, while others contribute as to labor, or other task that benefits the church, but nobody ever asks for , nor expects to gain , money for preaching. As I have said, God does not sell his love for us, nor can we buy his love.

If you want to follow us in our ministry , just email me at knytesofanarchy@yahoo.com and I will tell you where, when and at what time we get together in your area.

God Bless You

There has to be more than just sex!!!

Some time ago, I wrote a blog detailing the absolute vision of the human female vulva. Thing is as absurd as it looks or as bad it smells most male corpuscles find it not only tastefull but if clean must smell good. However if you analyze it , that jewel of sexual foreplay, is just a mere few millimeters from her anus. Yes I know some guys like playing there, and a big butt is a real turn off for even this old wolf,  still for me as I get older, there needs to be more than just sex or visual appeal. Now it’s true, for my side saddle duties for the club, as well as both HazzardAyre News and HazzardAyre TV, I audition countless women and actress's for projects, we do. Yet looks alone will never get one the job. There has to be both intelligence and substance, as well as a tad bit of Tom boyishness as well as rebelliousness. If not I call in the next applicant, which is why some of our projects take longer than others. Just because she looks hot, does not mean she gets the job. The ideal applicant needs to have the WOW, or IT factor, or don’t even bother coming in for an interview.

For me personally, the same things apply. Sure some visual appeal is required, but not overly so. After all over time both of us will get old, my balls will sag, I’ll get a beer gut, her breasts will fall to gravitational pull, her veins in her legs will show and her beautiful curls will turn gray. After that its personality that brings it home. There is the fact that after you have sex, for me there has to be more than just rolling over to sleep, or get up for a smoke. Many times I look for someone who shares my interests as well as I try to get to like hers. After all it is a two way skyway. If you can’t share her likes, she’s not going to be much into yours.

So as much as you relish her vulva >>>>>>    There is much more than sex.

That is my thoughts.

Are Dreams divine inspiration? Or just wishes our hearts make?

That in my next report.

Is it me or Gmail?

Ever since my trusty laptop snagged a virus , and my Gmail account was hijacked to China, my running Gmail, is slow if it runs at all. Scrolling is at a snails pace, if I can load Gmail at all.

For all its worth, my other two emails, the one for the Knytes on Hotmail runs at speed, plus my Yahoo account works fine as well. So what gives? And what can be done about it?

For many weeks, I cussed out Qwest Telecom for being slow. But albeit only getting an upload of a mere .069mps, and a download of only 5mps, when , I’m paying for 10mps, which Qwest sold me, but admitted that the best they can do in my area is a mere 5.5mps and will not adjust my bill is one thing. I wont pay the bill until they do. But that’s another subject, for another time. But when its not the ip connection, That’s,  ip= Internet Protocol , then it must be Google and Gmail. Which I think is monitoring my account, because of you know who, yet there is no phone number one can call to a help desk, to get an answer. So what does one do? Go to Mountain View CA, to Google’s HQ, to get their attention ? A $750.00 trip, to fix my Gmail account? This will not be a long time situation as Surf the Snake has our web site nearly done, so all will go to the site, controlled, hosted and operated by the Knytes-of-Anarchy for members and supporters of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, but past that , what does the normal , none geek population do, when the need to read your email is hindered by Gmail/Google?

So the question remains, is it me or Gmail?

As I bring this in for a landing, dig this, Tuesday, as I was chowing down at the Buhl McDonalds, and surfing the net. In came this stunning albeit Mexican , but stunning blonde colored haired honey, along with her scrawny, guy pal, no ring so must be available, although I have heard that all Mexican’s don’t wear wedding or engagement rings.

So As I tried not to be obvious and all, everytime I was checking her out, she was checking me out. Until she got up to go outside for a smoke. While not really big, her butt was more than the two small handfuls that I usually measure by. Which brings me to another question , does Mexican women as a species, have inheritantly have BIG BUTTS? Or is it they don’t care? I see this same thing both on Mexican TV , as well as in the business community. I know of a gal, who used to work at the Boost Mobile retail store in Jerome. She had great legs, that led to a butt so big that it would overload a bucket on the front of a large pay loader.

Think about it.

Until Thursday

Gotta make this quick McDonalds wifi and all you know

Despite modern technology and ever ongoing efforts, even the big Golden Arches and free wifi is not all that free. Seems any more as you really need to buy something to gain access to the free wifi. Amazing huh?

Move is still going but the one place I had carved out was not big enough to move my big Wolf butt into. In fact don’t think a mouse could have lived there.

So had to move elsewhere, but gittin r done any how.

Club bizz is moving along well , and radio ops looks as if we have made a connection with Kim to get my gig in the intrum operational so all looking good, just takes a long time.

More Tuesday.

Not wearing my religion on my sleeve

Depending on where you live in this nation, religion is a freedom that many of us treasure. However , should religion be forced down someone’s throat? More over should everything be restricted to one religious mindset?

Not everybody in a community believes as you do or as I do, one of the basic foundations of America’s constitution is religious freedom. Yet if you or I think, outside of the perimeters of say a TV station manager, or a Newspaper editors boundaries then guess what? Your told to go away.

However should just one opinion be expressed in say a newspaper? What about the others in a certain town, or area that looks at sexual, or political or even basic concerns that say a biker, OTR trucker or even a military aviation enthusiast might think, about. What about the views of the Confederate American? We believe in something else, other than the holier than thou attitudes that some emulate. Of course the same newspaper editor, say from the WeeklyMailer of Burley, most likely is not the place for HazzardAyre to appear. More like a publication such as EasyRiders, might be more appropriate. Yet should a newspaper be that shallow? Should not the views of all, rather than just the views of a limited few be reported? Or for that matter be ignored?

As for the Knytes’ pitch the the WeeklyMailer, or advertising for AyreWolf Aviation, The AyreWolvez or any part there of, you can bet your next tank of Av gas that we will not be doing business with them.

That said, maybe a newsprint publication that does not wear its religion on its sleeve or afraid that some other head in the sand advertiser might be turned off, just because the paper prints articles that are not the popular, but still needs to be reported. Such a publication as say the Hazzard County Gazzette, that contains HazzardAyre in its pages, be something that would give the WeeklyMailer or even the Cassia County edition of the Times News, a run for their money?

I think so.

After all , like churches, there are more than just one in a geographic area, more over a newspaper that gives news in a way, that is not so constrictive, but tells the whole story might be welcomed.

While I still hold my LDS Priesthood, and attend church on a regular basis, does not mean I will hold back on ideals of other cultures. Such as the rebellious ideals , but progressive mindsets that are the Knytes-of-Anarchy. As well as myself.

I don’t wear my religion on my sleeve, and am open to others opinions, not just the ones that are published in the Book of Mormon.

You can bet though that those restrictive and restricted publications such as both the Times News as well as the WeeklyMailer, will be calling once we ascend to the altitudes that are in sight.

The Little Hot Rod Club that could and did.

By the fall of 1982 the Hazzard County Knytes grew from a mere 20 members between Idaho and Utah, to over 50,000 members world wide. Seemed as though from some national press ink, and some influence from Dukes-of-Hazzard cast members word spread of the Knytes to just about every place that the Dukes were seen, we gained a chapter of the club.

In 1983 , my Mom passed away from COPD, and I was alone, but comforted by those local members of the club, as well as the entire cast of the TV show from which part of the club was formed on. While still grieving from Mom’s passing , still life needed to go on. The club put up , albeit pirate or outlaw, but put up a small radio station that was anything but tame or conformist. In fact one of the principles of the club, is to be anti-establishment , anti conformist. Just because the Government said you could not do something, did not mean ya’ll shouldn’t. By mid 1984, my waiver from the USMC , came and my orders to report for training (boot-camp) Arrived in the mail. So in June 1984, I loaded up my stuff, and to the Boise Airport after a stop at the Boise AFEES or Armed Forces Entrance Examination Station. Next morning I woke up at Paris Island, and so it went, until 1993 when by whatever reason I returned to Idaho. I got married and tried to cut out a living, but Idaho at the time was limited in opportunities. So in 1994 moved to Utah, and remained there until 1996.

After a serious divorce and much sorrow, found that my old home-stead could be reclaimed, so did so. However what I found was as I did in 1993, the Idaho I had left , was not the Idaho I returned to, except for one thing, the tenacity and brotherhood of the Hazzard County Knytes remained. With chapters growing, two new siblings grew out of the Hazzard County Knytes one for those into old John Deere farm equipment, co founded by Jerry Sloan former coach of the famed Utah Jazz, and one other sibling for those into custom Harley’s , called the Hazzard County Choppers Klub. At that point we as a group , thought our siblings or extensions were done. Not so.

In 1998 after the Trustee of the Montgomery Trust(my inheritance) decided that the old homestead in Hagerman was too far gone to be rehabilitated. So I moved to Jerome.

It was one of those times of divine inspiration. I had been watching BlackSheep Squadron on TV, one morning, and as if there was the intense urge to go outside, as I left the house, two F-4-U-1 Corsairs flew over the house. Of course my own service was in the VMA214 which is the revised official title of the VMF214 BlackSheep 3rd MEU or mew. I soon learned where those old Corsairs went, and shortly after and from talking to the owner of Airpower Unlimited there at the Jerome Airport, figured out that wrenching on cars was pale in comparison, to restoring old war birds, in the area of just dollars and sense, its the difference in a few hundred thousand bucks for a hot rod, to several million bucks for a restored warbird.

Found through research that Greg(Pappy ) Boyington, not exactly a poster model of the Marines was born in Idaho. Not only that, but my Dad had served with Pappy in the original squadron. So a call to the Hazzard County Knytes was made, and the formation of what would be called at first the BlackSheep Flying Club was formed. However the USMC was not entirely thrilled with that idea. In 2002 moved to Utah to work with a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, and being there with all those military aviators , the club grew.

By mid 2003 I spent the last of the liquid assets of the Montgomery Trust, bought a hangar at the Bountiful SkyPark, and in the fall of 2004 AyreWolf Aviation was born. Where we restored military warbirds. The club provided the client base and AyreWolf Aviation supplied the ability. It was and is a grand marriage. That has lasted until today.

With that in mind , the club in 2008 , decided to rename itself from the Hazzard County Knytes , into the Knytes-of-Anarchy, inspired by the hit TV show on the FX Cable network, Sons of Anarchy. However the constant over the years since 2004 to today has been AyreWolf Aviation and the club, that became the AyreWolvez Military Aviation Association. Which is establishing a charter here in the mini Cassia area.

What the AyreWolvez are all about, next time here in HazzardAyre, where Hazzard County, meets AyreWolf.

Hazzard County Knytes , the beginnings.

What is now labled as the Knytes-of-Anarchy/AyreWolvez , started rather simple.

Back in late 1978 I went to the Early Iron, Rod & Custom Show in Twin Falls Idaho. While there, I got to talking to a fellow gearhead named Jimmy MacDonald and he , like I, was living in Hagerman Idaho. We found we had many things including aspirations of the ultimate low buck home-style hot rod shop. So a small shop was located in Hagerman, and the fun began. Opened as Pat & Jim’s Speed & Custom Shop, we began and finished several customer as well as personal projects. However life was going to change unlike the valley had never imagined and even us.

The fall of 1979 would soon start a revolution of performance automotive excellence that had never before been known. We as a shop were doing well , but not as well as we thought we should. Thus a trip to the major hot rod shows of the era, was in order. So I loaded up in my 69 Chevy Caprice and headed to Salt Lake City. Just outside of Burley it decided to snow. It was 8:00PM and the snow was so heavy that I couldn’t go home to Hagerman , and Sweetzer Summit was closed. So I sought refuge at the Burley Best Western at the time , known as the Burley Ramada Inn. At 10:00PM was getting a bit hungry so went to the cafe of the motel. On my way out of my room, saw parked next to my heap, was a 1970 Dodge Charger, that had been made into a raw duplicate of the General Lee, from the TV show the Dukes-of-Hazzard. Talked to the kid who built and owned it and told him should he wish to sell the car to give me a call. Went home the day after and that was that for a time.

Two years later , was out hunting down some props for the diorama or display for a ride we had planned to take to that years SLC AutoRama. So after chatting with the director of the Burley High School Cheerleaders, see we were looking for white go-go boots. For that display. Any mile , the director of the BHS cheerleaders, told me that the cheerleader director of  East Minico Jr. High still used those boots on their drill team.

Out of my eye through a corner window, saw ye ole General, with a FOR SALE sign in the windshield. So called the number on the sign , a deal was struck, and ye ole General was on its way to Hagerman. That same year, 1981, the car was rebuilt, went to the SLC AutoRama, took best of show, and the rumble began. The car created the fan base and membership interest and the club was a good marketing tool for the shop. Jimmy and I , along with a few gearhead friends, got together along with 10 more interested in creating a home grown, grass roots hot rod club combined with a Dukes-of-Hazzard fan club. But what to call it? There was a club called the Squires Car Club in Pocatello that was sort of what we were doing, but the name was not sounding right. At the time was a hit major movie called the HollyWood Knights, that starred Robert Wuhl, Tony Danza . The name was a fit, so a redoux on the name and a slight mis spell , and the Hazzard County Knytes Kustmz Association was born, granted a state charter, and in June 1982 the Hazzard County Knytes, became official.

How the Hazzard County Knytes met warbird military aircraft, next time, here in HazzardAyre.
