There is no day that goes by that I don’t get at least one maybe two inquiries from people that want to work for and with us here in the club on HazzardAyre or some other part of the club.
As a rule, the club will not hire outside of the club unless really needed, such as the back end work on the website, on camera work for all visuals including but not limited to the website, TV ads, etc. Do you think we’re not going to put up the most flash we can to get folks to tune in? We’re going to spread ourselves all over, from NASCAR races, on FoX, to ads in EasyRiders. We’re going to be there, so that more of you will know to twist your dial setting to HazzardAyre on XM/Sirius as well as online. The rest of the time, I never ever have trouble unless we start hiring outside the membership. Then its just like going to the bar.
Here’s an example, okay? Anchors Bistro and Bar has this gal there going to school, for some sort of medical education, as limited as that is at the College of Southern Idaho. Which now with a new President might fire on its cylinders better, but only if they got rid of Mauhn. If they did that some new minds and possibilities might transpire. Any mile getting off target, so there at Anchors, I went in week after week after week. This sweet little thing from Provo, Utah, kept saying she’d be talent for the club, likewise the bar would have Anarchy Bikers night on Tuesday’s during the winter. In both cases both when their bluff was called refused guess what? No club members going in, a loss of 1000 customers and their families locally now they’re starving for customers. Woody’s Bar here in Twin Falls was the same way, for something quite different. Several of our customers kept going in there wanting a brand of brew called Red Dog, still made just not sold west of the Rockies . We kept asking , no response. Finally pissed off I grabbed the little peanut brain who ran the place by his collar and said why did you keep telling us you could when you can’t? Response? To bait you to keep you coming in. Results, club boycotted the place, for nearly 10 years and mid year 2013 Woody’s went under. By the way the club is looking at Woody’s to reopen it as the Reaper.
Getting back on track, I get a bunch of people sniffing around at our projects that we hire for, yet when they find that we run the thing from the club house here, they don’t show or don’t call. On that, the radio werx is ran here in the Club house, simply because its easier for me since 90% of it is ran by me. It’s easier for me to roll out of bed, do something to the automation system if it goes caddywhompus, and get back on air rather than put my clothes on, drive all the way to the ground studio in Buhl, fix the problem, and drive back here. Second if there was enough of a staff that got serious to warrant getting an outside office/studio here in Twin Falls, we’d do it in a Yankee second, but I have yet to have anybody sign on long enough to make me want to stick out my neck a 4th time or anytime just to get it cut off. We did that in Gooding, we did that in Pocatello, and we tried to do that in Burley. Each time lots of money spent, no shows so we shut that down saved the money, and kept it all in house.
On the behest of the AyreWolvez, sure we have a hangar now out at the airport, but its cold out there, and until its needed a new one is not going to be built, but no heat except what's needed by some shop heaters, it’s colder than Boss Hoggs’ hug. What am I going o do conduct interviews for pin up girls there? First that’s even stranger. There’s all kinds of maybe could happen there. The club sits right next to a guy and gal, with pitbulls, and a very thin wall, if something obscure were to occur , serious yells would be heard, and authorities be summoned. Its safer to do business here.
Then there’s the money path. I can request , and the request is usually honored, but I can request all kinds of funds for projects, wages etc, but first the request goes to the district road captain, then it goes to the business advisor, then it goes to the President of the club in ChowChilla(The real Charming) California , then Kevin puts it on the table there, if approved, it goes to a national table, then and only then is a bank check issued. Even then it really depends on the project and how important it is. The process can take days, or weeks or months. It really depends. And usually it’s a factor of did anything prior get done, enough to sink our teeth into? The days of just going off like hen with its head cut off, is over. Too many things over the last 12 years have stopped that.
Whether its somebody building the website, somebody twisting the screws and such as resident or even distant engineer, at HazzardAyre, or someone Chiquita wanting to be a pin up, if your going to rattle the cage, be serious or don’t rattle. In short, put up , put out or shut up.
Our buddy Eli, was to call me overnight , but guess he got busy on air in San Fran, or maybe its family and the remnants of the holidays, wouldn’t have mattered anyhow, since I took some cold pills to try and get rid of this phlegm , put my phone on charge, and went to sleep, only reason I’m up now? Had to get up , change tapes, poke my finger for my sugar level, and do my bible reading. After which I plan on going back to sleep.
Building this on a slim budget and why, next time here on HazzardAyre.
