There are times in life when you get to test drive the Caddy, enjoy the Caddy even on a short term own on payments the Caddy, but then the econ environment changes and you find you can only afford to drive and own the VW. Sure its not as fancy, you have to roll the windows down instead of push a button, but hey it gets there.
This is the conditions that we find ourselves in here at HazzardAyre. The vision was from the bottom of the 12th inning(December 2013) of 2013 that we saw a great mirage on the horizon. We saw that mirage in Utah, a super fast super clean IT system, and at the time while not affordable , still manageable Internet service, in Comcast business. So I call the gal Laura, who worked with us well, got us set for a hook up. However the three places we were aiming at bowed out, not wanting the noise and all of a radio station in their building.
During this time Charlie’s better half at A1 only paid minimum payments to Idaho Power. In short the end of January meant move or live in the cold and dark. So we tried, but the new RoadHouse was not ready, so we extended everything out and began the move during the late part of February. Now here’s the problems, first weather, 4 in nearly a row snow and blizzard level storms meant nothing moved. Next car dies, thinking we could get by, did a jerry rig fix, and it ran, so loaded up. Got here , but bam there went the charging system, and tranny linkage. So car goes into shop, at the first of April. If this wasn’t bad enough, the clutch on Wolf-Pup goes out. Fortunately I fixed that myself, but $500.00 was the parts. Well that made paying Comcast or anybody else nearly impossible. But thinking that the club could take care of that called Comcast asking for extensions to the 15th that’s tomorrow. However the DOD amongst others dispenses that money through a chain of command, mainly a treasurer , namely Doug, who as we have reported died in a vehicle accident. This means no funds for two weeks. Just at the time we finally have albeit slow, but lift off of HazzardAyre Radio.
Normally I’d let it go, work it up to full payment and reignite. Thing is if the account closes it’s the back payment and a deposit to turn it back on. The real problem, we don’t have an immediate person to plug in as Treasurer , so getting any money from the Feds is nearly a mission impossible. So that said, no phone and a very limited time on internet. If HazzardAyre is to stay on air and all this move and all is going to be worth it at least for me, I need money in here pronto. You might ask why didn’t we have this problem in Idaho? Simple, as bad as it was I was able to do odd jobs at odd times for Charlie and A1 Towing up there,. That meant a $20.00 here, A $50.00 there, meant I could pay bills, outside of my monthly Government money, plus the club could inject money because Doug could cut a check, Doug is dead, LexiBelle is still in Idaho needing payment to get it out same goes for the General JaXson, Subaru.
So Gotta swallow a big one, get in touch with Digis and get something like I had with SpeedConnect in here,. Something I can afford, but stiff enough to keep us on air. All of which means all the work Laura at Comcast, myself the club, and Ebro is for not, as its going to die unless Comcast extends us out another two weeks, puts our phone back into gear, and I get lucky. Or HazzardAyre goes silent until I get in touch with Digis, and get something that is affordable. Meaning once down, no more Comcast.
Goin on air at 23:00 stay tuned.

1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4“[The Resurrection of Christ] Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com.
