HazzardAyre89 Rules of engagement changing in Idaho

The rules of engagement as far as going toewing are changing, by the month in Idaho at least and all over the region , state and local , both county and city regs are getting tougher to meet.

It was once upon a time in Idaho at least, all one had to do to go toew was a good solid truck, impound yard and be insured, and have a basic clean driving record. Today , although many local cops have no idea of what or what not a certain toew truck can do or not do.

Even so there are conditions where the old skool trucks can and do have their place, and can far out perform any of the newer toew trucks, that are set up to basically just snag, and toew. Newer rigs with none split booms, auto transmissions and crank driven hydraulic pumps just will not pull and recover like the old standard tranny, shaft driven PTO mechanicals, like LexiBelle.

When Holmes built the 500 , the 500 was never intended to be mounted on a truck with less than a 20,000 GVW frame. Most were mounted on two and a half ton trucks. However in toewing, in many cases, its monkey see, monkey do. If one of us does it , others need to try it too. Thus in LexiBelle’s case , there is more toew unit than there is truck. Yet in all but a few rare instances, LexiBelle has came through with flying colors, still meets industry standards, albeit for want of cosmetics, and even a sling, with a mechanical wheel-lift.

If your side business is a hot rod shop, it makes sense to have a toew truck or two that is era or time as that of what your building for customers. It’s easy to buy a new truck, splash a paint job on it and while acceptable, if you show up in a fully restored custom toew truck that is if the same vintage as your customers muscle car, the visual at least to your customer is, “ If he can do that to a old toew truck, imagine what he can do to my vintage hot rod” Thus the confidence factor is increased. There are those that will crush old rides just for the metal weight income. Or because some EPA inspections says can’t run this any more. Yet such industry organizations such as SEMA have been and continue to fight in the vein, of don’t crush em, restore em.

Chrysler through its promotion ads for new cars and such are saying imported from Detroit. Old vintage Detroit iron, will never be replaced by these tin, econo boxes from Japan. As such , as an organization that began as a muscle car/trick truck club, the Knytes-of-Anarchy, says the same things. Don’t crush em, restore, customize and enjoy em. Like wise lets import as well as export Detroit iron. Buy American , drive American, muscle, not wimpy Honda’s with glass packs that sound like a sheep with the farts. Nothing from the Japs, Spicks, or Germans will ever sound as sweet as an American fully bored V-8 High cube muscle engine. So what it costs $300.00 to fill the tank? I’d rather do that than drive an econo box. Added to that, I’d much rather take my chances in a all steel bodied truck or American muscle car, than these part plastic composite/part tin Jap wagons. Plus let’s see a Jap econo box, last 1,million 600,000 miles like LexiBelle has.

HazzardAyre News Edition 85 Nothing worthwhile ever stays in Buhl.

Shortly after I reluctantly relocated to Buhl from Bliss, a move that was perpetrated by my DAV/PSR, I was standing in line at Riddleys Market , and related that I was one of many, bringing a radio station to Buhl. When the check out clerk said she had not heard of it , although we have tried on numerous occasions to get the Buhl Herald to do up a revised article on the gig, I was not terribly surprised. Since getting anything in the Buhl Herald is like pulling teeth out of a rooster.

Then there was the studio spot. First one was way over budget, at $400.00 a month plus utilities, the second choice while good did not have the proper infrastructure as far as wiring etc, and putting in a heap amount of work into a place that we don’t own is foolish. Remember the $5,000.00 roof redoux in Goons Ferry? Then was all the fuss over so much manure of getting someone trained even one to go in and do shows and schedule programming. Was about as useful as putting a milk bucket under a bull.

So then too, no airport hangar space, for AyreWolf Aviation, and so it goes. And gone we soon will be.

Glad I saved the money of membership dues to the Buhl Chamber of Commerce, and rent and all at the studio/office.

Dejavu? Perhaps, but that same store clerk said it best, as I was leaving that first day here, “nothing worthwhile ever stays in Buhl”  Now I know why.

HazzardAyre News Edition 84 Going back to our future.

Looking at where and when we as a company restarted here in Idaho, the smarter move would have been, when that fat fart in Pocatello conned me into relocating there, should have said, smoke some more weed dude or show me the money. Since he didn’t should have just stuck it out. Only good that came from that was I learned a bit more about the behind the lens of a TV camera there at Pocky’s CH-12.

Then there was that bewitching moment in moving from Pocky to Goons Ferry. When LiL Lexi, threw a shoe. Was that the great Kahless, saying stay here? Was it also inspiration when I saw the same gal I was courting there at the dawn of the first lap of this race in Idaho, from Wyoming? Whatever it was, we are once again in the same shop, same location with only a slight tweaking of handles to light the candles of going toewing. Plus dig this, remember we had the idea of a cab company? Well dig this, going into partnership with a cat there that already is doing that.

More at 21:00 hours. But we are truly going back to our future.

Stay Tuned , Ya’ll.

HazzardAyre 83 Frugality is the play of the game in this era

In this day and age, frugality is the play of the game.

Although credit must be given to our bean counters and all for rather creative and innovative book keeping, still the way that the Knytes-of-Anarchy and all its siblings have stayed operational, is being reasonable in finding low cost to no cost ways of acquisition, and methods.

Case-n-Point, the Knytes have for years, been in planning a web streaming and OTR radio station. Besides the costs of doing things as prescribed by those pesky varmits at the FCC , buying brand new, fully computerized equipment to do the studio with was just not in the plan. Why buy new when so many stations of the region, are selling their analog gear for much less. Sure it takes a lot of Ebay looking and searching, but you get what you need, not more of what will not function well in the primitive environment we operate in here in rural Idaho. Power fluctuations, weather related mayhems that makes this new stuff have more than a conniption fit.

The web while being okay is not always dependable, and unless you own a site, don’t expect the site, to always be available when YOU need it. This is something we in the club said, we do not want this to be the case for our members and supporters coming to our site to be entertained and informed. But having discount web site developers is the last thing one needs. Sometimes being too frugal is just wasting money. Case-n-Point, last fall , had a guy in Boise that did , minor and I do mean minor web site creation. But in trying to save some green by having this feller do it, we’d have been better to have the gal over at Surf the Snake in Burley build the site along with our friends at Abacast. We’d be running by now. But that said , before, and I mean long before this goes out the door, the search is on to find someone that really knows how to build a streaming web site.

Okay then moving on.

Long before, and really very much before. There was the idea brought up in one of the meetings of the Hazzard Knytes(now the Knytes-of-Anarchy) to build a one off Dukes of Hazzard/Hazzard County theme park. By building a duplicate of the original Burbank set of the hit TV show add some specialty concepts and open it as Hazzard County USA. The original site was at what is termed or called Black Mesa Idaho, an abandoned farming location just west of Glenns Ferry Idaho. BLM said no, so no go. So we looked at where that nuke plant was going to be built near Hammett, Idaho. County commissioners said no can alter P&Z . So we finally , said hold on and the same project is underway at the abandoned southern Idaho town called Strevelle . Which sits on the Idaho / Utah border, on old highway 81. Only now the costs will be higher for building construction as well as the fact we now have to compete with ole Ben. Although discussions are under way to make he and ours parks merge to where ours would be the only western version of Cooter’s Place. So always being frugal is not always wise, but then there are times when squeezing old Abe’s head to where blood runs out of his ears, and through bartering, you get what you need, and no more that will not do the job.

Sure fuel will never be 89 cents a gallon again. NASCAR started using ethanol since ethanol is shine with a dye that makes it undrinkable. But Ethy is also cheaper that $4.00 or better a gallon race fuel. Funny didn’t we at Dixie-Deere Racing start barking about use corn fuel in 1999? We were laughed at.Maybe we should have listened to, huh? Same goes with buying stock on both NASDAQ as well as the NYSE. We said, buy stock in the company John Deere. Deere’s stock has remained stable. Has not dramatically fluctuated, and usually pays a good dividend. Again we were laughed at. But the club bought Deere stock, and guess what? Money in the bank.

   Now then looking at toewing. I have seen many guys buying all this fancy gear and trucks. One of My best friends in the business here in this area, owns some of the best, most up to date rigs in Idaho. But he also is heavy into debt. If you want to test the mettle of the new toew jocks, tell them to block and sling a wrecked ride, or bring it in on a sling. 70% will not have the slightest idea of how to block & sling. 60% have never used dollies, and yet its our old work horses that are mechanical like on the back of LexiBelle that gets the job done, without the hassles and more over the high costs of the new equipment. Sure a new roll back is good, and at times a roll back is required, but I have yet to find a ride even crumpled that can’t be recovered and transported with a good low boy flat bed trailer, or set of dollies. Plus I saved the costs of a new roll back. Retained the integrity of my old Holmes 500’s abilities and that’s why, I’m not worrying about seeing my banker, every month. Being frugal here, means buying older equipment, doing some work on it, know how to use a welder both mig as well as arc, and you toew while those who owe are crying. Same goes with credit cards. While my own credit is not worth anything, still my debts are not of the plastic kind. Good old Green gets the thing done , bought and yours while those who use plastic are up to their neck in revenuers. Plus if you use cash only you never have to worry about identity theft. Can’t get id 411 off of cash. Which the Congress is looking at getting rid of in favor of coins. Hell one would need a armored truck just to go to the movies to haul that many coins. Watch that idea go into Hazzard sand pyle. What goes in there very seldom if ever comes out again.

I do not, will not have a credit card. The only one I carry is my EBT card. And few know my secret password, so that is fairly safe.

I learned this method of operation from both my Mom & Dad. When everybody was going to wheel lines to irrigate, Mom was out there with a plastic dam, shovel and siphon tubes. Mom kept 300 some odd acres wet and we always brought in a crop. The only investment I suggested as a youth that would be profitable today of which even a cuppl of land brokers scoffed at was buying that hill just off of U.S. 20 east of MHI. I said we ought to build a truck stop there. We didn’t but look at what’s there now. That’s getting off course.

In today’s era economy being frugal is the play of the game.

HazzardAyre82 Quibids.com not for squat.

So there you are in your fave chair watching TV, the ad for Quibids.com comes on. The gal doing the pitching the site seems as meek and wyld as you see. But she after all is a pitch model, that is getting paid mucho denaro to do that pitching. Once you visit the site, register and all you can’t even place something to bid. Unlike say, Ebay, where plastic or not, you can still post something for folks to buy.

Just like FaceBook, vying to be the next movie site, yet can FaceBook  really unseat Netflix? It’s even been said that FaceBook would unseat Google. Maybe on a few things, but from blogging, to audio as in YouTube, to email. Google remains king, not too mention search.

While FaceBook might be the 21st centuries version of the local party line or gathering place, FaceBook will not in the near future unseat Google.

Getting on the topic here. You can have the most beautiful pitch girl and smoke and mirror TV ad for a web site, or any business, unless the business measures up. Forget putting an ad on TV. Work out the bugs of the offering before pitching the thing.

Calling the Nigerian Black here? No. The reason you haven’t heard or seen a thing on TV about HazzardAyre Radio or the printed/published version of this blog is because we have not worked the bugs of the site. Once we do see what get’s unleashed on TV.

HazzardAyre81 She smells too

 

I have spoken of this before, but I’ll post it again. No matter how great she looks its only a cover. Oh she may look like a angel or a dream, but under the cover there may be demons that are waiting to be unleashed. You might be seduced by her sweet smelling purfume, or the finely crafted appearance due to cosmetics , but in the morning her butt, underarms, and other areas also do stink. I used to be rather seduced by small feet, attached to well proportioned legs covered by nylon hose. I thought as it was my nose was redirected from the smell of her toes by the visions of her face and eyes. She could not possibly smell bad. While science sezz, that her feet and other aromas are not as bad smelling as us male corpuscles, since a woman’s ph levels etc are different than us males. Yet in reality, she do pew.

Then there is what’s under her hood? Just like a fine looking rod or custom truck, the body and paint might look extremely good, but if the engine and drive train are fowl so the entire ride be not worth taking around the block.

Case-n-point, there is a gal who is co-owner of one of my competitors, here in Twin Falls. She has looks that kills, but reputation has it, that she is a gold digger and drove her two prior hubby’s to drink. Reputation deserved? Don’t know, but I’m not allowing my paws into that trap.

Then there is a gal I met at a bakery at the MVM in Twin where I have coffee, suggested she toss her name in for either, Miss Hazzard County, and or Miss AyreWolf, got a phone number, but in investigation found the phone number was an old pay phone at MVM. Instead of giving me a fony Phone number, why not just say, “ I’m not interested” ? Just be honest , right? Not someone who would be a good candidate for either Miss Hazzard or Miss AyreWolf.

She will be one of those that will witness the open talent call at the mall, and think, oops I screwed the pooch. By then it’ll be way too late. Her loss.

No matter how good she looks she smells too.
