Greetings Welcome to Our Hazzard County.
Did you know today is National Fried Okra
Appreciation Day? Dern tootin it is. Been trying to get the event funded for research there as to why them confounded Lincolnette's don't like Okra? I love the stuff in all forms cept, maybe banned and or frozen. Fresh Okra, has a smooth unobtrusive taste. Even when it's a bit slimy. Cooks great, and cut up in a bread crumb mix and deep fried. Shute I can eat that all day, and best of all cept for the bread crumb mix, Okra is calorie free, and has antioxidents that help you keep regular. Makes Geritol and Watkins Linement, look like Snake oil.
I messed up on the title here a bit, and while I thank everyone for the postings, and all, still, understand, We are Confederate Marine's first, GearHeads second and Broadcasters third. In that order. I'm still licking my chops and honing my skills for engineering on things Broadcast, what I know keeps me on the air, but barely. The rest I find experts, watch and learn from them, and apply what I learn. I had the best dern teacher or broadcast engineer mentor in my opinion on Earth. Kelly Klass, of Twin Falls.
Over the years we lost touch, but looking to reconnect with him soon. In any rate, KeLLy could build any contraption to be on radio, that we ever needed. Forget calling up a big pharma radio equipment company, nooo, Kelly would dump out his bucket of parts, get out the tools, and get to building. Much of which worked better than what we could get from an equipment vendor.The Confederacy thing entered my sphere, while watching of course DOH. Mom started telling me stories from her childhood, Dad would tell me about his southern breeding, and over time I saw history from a whole new perspective. When I'd opt to go to see my southern Uncles, I would get to go visit, the grave yards, and monuments, it is and love it still.
When I got out of the Union's Marine Corps, a bunch of us reformed what we call, the Confederate Marine Corps. ( Yes there was and is one). Of course being a southern fried rural gearhead, introduced me to things of the confederacy, and that generated a need to get the word out. So I took what I had learned at being a radio junky, and we created KTOW FM 105.7 of Buhl, Idaho(still active, along with KNYTE out of nearby Castleford Idaho) .
Today what resulted from KTOW came to being HazzardAyre and KnyteWolf FM radio. Both networks of their own, yet part of the Hazzard County Knytes Kustmz Association, and The AyreWolvez Aviation Association aka the WolfPack. Think of the WolfPack as bikers that know how to fly.
HazzardAyre took flight, in 2011 from Heyburn Idaho, from a tiny little house at 811 21st street there. HazzardAyre got some national TV ink, from Big Biz TV, and has grown faster than cannibus in manure, since. However self survival and preservation has resulted in way too much time away from being in the studio.
But a few know it all zealots kicked our butts, and stole equipment. Which brought down from $2,mil a month to near nothing. To where as bad as I hated it, had to move back here to Etown Wyoming, just to save what small bit, of sanity I had left. For two months or so, had to sleep in The GeneralJaXson, My hot rod, Named after two Stonewall, and Jax Teller of SOA fame. Hence the way I spell the Name. I froze, my butt off at night here, had to reawakened by skally wags, that thought panting the old General with parking lot gravel, and several nights of having to hit the hospital, just to get fed and get warm.
Oh and BTW, I still have my SAMCRO MC cut. {Photo next entry. } Since then healing has began, things looking good all but two websites are being recharged, and Come March, 2024 HazzardAyre Radio CSA( Confederate-States of America} Hits Spreaker and Radio.co ayrewavez. Tell me another toewing firm, and or hot rod shop together, that has a DnB listing with thefootprint we have, and then ask me why a pittly tiny leasing firm, in Utah wants our financial Pedeigree? Talk about cutting off feet despite a long beak. Asking us to look into giving access to our financials, is like asking Tony Soprano, allowing the feds to look at the Syndicate's books. No way. Rent? Maybe, buy property and build our own shop, Yes. If you own it no one can boot you out of it.
In any case, We are Confederates first, Gearheads including aircraft second, and radio junkies third.
Keep it between the Ditches,
