Innovation and perseverance still American and Hazzard County Enginuity

Inside Edition, this prior evening did a feature on how a young barely a toddler that learned CPR from watching a TV show and was able to rescue his younger sibling after falling into an unattended swimming pool.

Television has influenced so many lives in so many ways that even one blog feature could never do justice to the medium. The medium itself, was deemed to far from reality at its dawning that few beyond or outside TV thought TV would become a lark and or a fad and not matter much.  Radio with pictures. Finally all those radio dramas that we learned to love coming out of that Victrola or Motorola radio, could now be seen.

Over my life , four TV shows grabbed me and pulled me in as nothing else could or would. In fact those 4 TV shows created my life in real life. Although scarcely written strictly for my benefit, it seemed as though the writers and producers, saw into my dreams and presented my life’s answers in a way I could comprehend. Sure I had my comic book favorites from TV , Batman the TV series with Adam West, The Green Hornet, although I watched because of the cars, not the story lines or plot. Nor the actors, although the original BatGirl from the TV series did heighten up my preteen sexual curiosity’s a bit.

I remember as a child in bed with 102 plus fevers and convulsions from suffering from a condition that was due to my body , not being able to fight off infections. My blood stream , could not produce enough of the biological storm troopers, and one night from a very small SONY TV I saw Star Trek TOS , and saw a place, and future I could wrap my mind around. One without sickness, but of intellectual strength. The Doc said after that evening, that as much as the Gama Globulin it was Star Trek that brought me out of a mild Coma, and saved my life. From then on ST, was my life, and I lived it as the series depicted life. My grade school, Crestview Elementary School in Layton Utah, became no, not the Enterprise , but the USS CRESTVIEW, later named in the series by the way. Of course in 1971 Mom & Dad decided to move to Idaho, a move that still today , I feel was a serious mistake. I wish , we never had done that. Life for me might be very different than it is today at least as far as career and the happenings that occurred after that move , but what the hell did I know? I was a preteen. But so here we were in Idaho. I tried to latch onto something for substance. First came BlackSheep Squadron, that would recreate my love of flying and flight, that My Dad told me the stories of and his involvement with Pappy Boyington. Of course that subsided and I found Airwolf, and was pursuing flying as a career, until I saw BJ & The Bear. Which provoked me in a good way to OTR trucking, but hey , whose going to hire a 15 year old trucker, but my I dreamed. Of course over time through many happenings , I collided with the Dukes, and have been rooted there in Hazzard County, for most if not all of my adult life, that is until 1998. When as I was leaving my rented home in Jerome Idaho one bright and early morning after a good sleep and watching reruns of BlackSheep Squadron, I saw overhead two F-4-U Corsairs fly overhead. Now I did not want to tell anybody about this, as I thought somebody might think I had lost what little sanity I had left. So I pursued the Corsairs, to the Jerome County AirPort, and after breakfast that morning decided to go out and inquire about a job there. Heck at worst, could push a broom if nothing else. So I went in the big blue hangar of Airpower Unlimited and saw staring at me , not one, not just two but 4 , F-4-U’s in various stages of reconstruction and restoration. Of course I got a job there, helping do odd jobs, but the sight reignited the fires of flight. Shortly there after formed the 3rd major spin-off , of what was the Hazzard County Knytes aka Knytes-of-Anarchy, my OTR trucker show, was a major hit, Dixie Diesel/Maximum Overdrive, of which I hailed as the RoadWolf which would change two years after.

With some reluctance but a bunch of gumption, a associate of mine and I decided to assemble a NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series team, and where do you put that together? Certainly not Idaho. So I relocated in 2002 to Utah. Shortly thereafter my associate chickened out, but I blossomed in Utah. Many of my real friends in Layton rallied around , along with a few that were employed, both in service as well as civil service at Hill Air Force Base. My Dad had many friends there as well and with a bit of arm twisting I got on AFRTS there and reworked RoadWolf into AyreWolf and , well that has taken me to where I am today.

Of the many TV shows that took root in my soul, they being Airwolf as well as the Dukes-of-Hazzard, I have been able to find my place on Earth, a high flying toew trucker with dreams of building the first REAL Mach plus Helicopter, The Lady. Is it impossible? Well lets look at it for a second. I’m sure the guys who created both Google and FaceBook, were thought of gooky geeks, but look at what they have done.  In my own arena, through the brotherhood of both the Knytes-of-Anarchy as well as the AyreWolvez, I have been there in the trenches building quietly a syndicated radio network that started as a network for OTR truckers, then folks like me going toewing, and ultimately those loving restoring and rebuilding and yes flying vintage military warbird style aircraft. It was just a very short few months ago, I finally found a name for the restyled radio show, that is very literally reaching new altitudes. HazzardAyre Radio. Where Hazzard County meets AyreWolf,, putting both together in a comprehensive form.

Yes, despite the second great financial depression , innovation, and perseverance is still alive as it could only be in America with a lot of Hazzard County Enginuity.

Where it goes from here, next coffee stop, here on HazzardAyre.

Kardashians or Cardasians?

This is a Cardassian>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And this is a Kardashian>>>>>>>>>

And here is the comparison>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now be honest, when you heard there was a series dedicated to the Kardashians , didn’t ya’ll think it was an updated series about the cantankerous Cardassian’s that occupied Bejour of which star station Deep Space 9 orbits. I did in the first time I heard about a TV series involving the offspring of Olympian pro swimmer Bruce Jenner.

TV pirates so much content from so many places and as well only hires actors and actress's from only a chosen pool, that not thinking, “ didn’t I see that person somewhere on something else?” It’s a tragedy that all too many good new talents ever get a splash on something good to open or springboard new careers. Well ya’ll might not need to wait long.

YouTube a subsidiary of Google, is investing some $150,million in new apps to create a new way for new talent and even viewing . Seems as though YouTube wants a larger audience and Google is looking for some new fruit to pick from the ad tree.

Amazing as it is, and all. YouTube is not a place for spewing or showing the best of the next Super-Star. Reality TV is doing that already. Ever since the grand screen writers strike a few years ago now, what is known as reality TV offers networks a way to thrust out new shows with only an outline but for which a script need not be written. Call it advanced adlibbing. Its not bad, but its hardly a way to judge the abilities of new talent.

Now what if there was a upcoming network, dedicated in part to the burgeoning UCSA, yet offered fresh programs or a series, with hardly known actors? While the Indy-film Network offers a glimpse of upcoming stars, the Confederate Star Network, is looking at creating new shows in the fall of 2013, doing just that. Casting unknown or hardly known acting talent, in a plethora of first run, first written productions. Many of which will be shot in and near to Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming, not to mention Montana. To launch the idea, KDXB FM/HazzardAyre Radio, will be working up some short 3 to 5 act radio dramas. Some created by local high-school drama classes and clubs.

But honestly when you heard the words Kardashian’s , didn’t ya’ll think you heard Cardassian’s? >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Criminals have it easy these days

I don’t know much about these things, but I saw this thing on the TV about this here deal, where ya’ll send some folks your old cell phones and they send ya’ll back money for them. They sezz, that they’ll erase all your stuff from the phone, and then these folks I guess refurbish the cell talker and resell it to poor folk. Funny I’m sorta poor, how about fetching me up one of those low cost cell phones. Shoot , mine cost me near $100.00 and $30.00 a month.  Trouble I see is these companies doing the refurbishing, I think, are makinga killing off of mining the info off your cell phone, to these cyber folks who then use it to send you every kind of offer you can imagine, and some ya’ll cain’t. I say if your even thinking of doing this deal , b4 ya’ll do, pull the sim card out, and do one heck of a memory wipe, then ya’ll know for the most part that these cyber bandits wont be gaining 411 on ya’ll.

Heard tell, that good ole Apple through its Iphone and Iphone 4 can know every where ya’ll go. And the built in gps unit is telling allot more about ya’ll than ya’ll though it was. Techno geeky things are great but, the less ya’ll have of personal things going on with yer cell phone the better. By the highway, Apple has not made any comment on why that chip in their cell phones gathers so much 411 on ya’ll. My guess, is its like them fellers refurbishing phones. The business of gathering 411 on ya’ll is BIG BIZZ , and the cyber bandits are willing to pay big money to get that 411. Now that call centers and telemarketers are loosing ground, the bandits need to find a better way to shove offers down your throat.

Wonder what the FCC as well as the FTC will do over the cell phone tracking shit. Yes the FCC is involved as using gps and any communicating device for the purposes of making money that is not invited or previously disclosed, is a federal crime. Course the harvesters  are in India, Cuba, and China so what  do they care? These days ya’ll need to really be cautious. Since one byte of 411 invytes a trailer truck load of trouble.

Victoria’s Secret, is showing off their latest offerings, my thought, sell me a few of those Victoria’s Secret models wearing that stuff and thys ole wolf will be really tame.

Have ya’ll wondered that here was God(Kahless) doing us a favor taking out half of Japan, a few months ago with a quake and a tsunami and we are helping to put Japan back together. Did we not radiate that nation at the end of WWII? And we’re putting it back together again? Wuzz up with that? I say waste the place and be done with it, including China.

Did you see the thing of some squirrel burning the USA Flag. Phooey, I say send those who do not truly love America , packing back where they damn well came from. Lets make immigration laws so tight and tuff, that unless your born in this country, ya’ll cain’t welfare, food stamps , Medicaid and such. Then these foreigners could not and would not be breaching the fence to get in here.

If you don’t like old glory, I have a flag ya’ll can wave that too is American they way it all should be.

I keep saying the KKK had the right idea, just went about it wrong.

Any mile, if ya’ll are thinking of sending this cell phone recycling outfit yer phone, be careful.

L8R ya’ll

One Man a Mach Plus Helicopter By AyreWolf

Despite the demotion by the Knytes-of-Anarchy of me to X-O-O , that is;

Executive Operations Director for you not in the know, I still retain my place as Executive State Director of The AyreWolvez Military Aviation Association and am still flying, every chance I get and the fact that I’m overhead at any one time should not trouble anyone after all, that is just what I do. If anything throughout all the turmoil in and surrounding the Knytes-of-Anarchy , the AyreWolvez have stayed cohesive and remain as a strong brotherhood of Marine and Navy Aviators , both retired as well as active as well as us who are the offspring of those who served in that role. As the overhead defense operation of way too many American military and American military supported conflicts and theaters. All too often the aviator of both the USMC and well as NAVY are forgotten. It is the main mission of the AyreWolvez to keep their legends and history alive and living on and to make sure their service , like my Father , is never forgotten. To this end the AyreWolvez is working to create and erect a Military Aviation Memorial Wall, with names , service branch , unit and dates of service, carved in stone. The Memorial will be erected, at the entrance to the Burley Airport. If you want to honor those who gave as well as those who continue to give in flying for the defense of this nation and our freedoms , please dig into your wallet and donate to : The AyreWolvez Military Aviation Memorial Wall, 123 13th Ave North, Suite-D- Buhl Idaho 83316 or care of AyreWolf Aviation 1937 West Main Suite CC1 Burley Idaho 83318, for more information you can call 208-212-9653 or Email, ayrewolf@gmail.com .

HazzardAyre One Man & A Toew Truck By Cooter

Last night was one of those nytes that sleep was as elusive as a morning dove. Had this sleep vision kinda between a nytemare and a dream. Any myle, was at the old homestead near Hazzard, and someone had cut a road through the aging poplar trees for a second ingress/egress road. Can’t imagine why anyone would cut through that all stretch of trees and ruin the beauty, but then never figured out why I was yanked from that homestead in the first place, many years ago. The final straw that got a burr under my saddle of drifting back east to places else where was the fact that the original home that was there when Mom & Dad first bought the place, back in the late 1940’s was bulldozed , so my birth spot was torn down and as such my roots were cut off and thrown into the fyre so why even be here? No family to speak of , and outside of 3 local area members of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, as well as 2 local members of the AyreWolvez, there is no real connection here so why be where I’m not wanted and where the wheels of real progress grind ever so slowly.

After all too , wasn’t that the reason the membership of both groups voted in 2008 to rework the Hazzard County Knytes into the Knytes-of-Anarchy in the first place? To take what we had built under the fyre of sweat and many tears to new horizons and heights as a reworked and progressive organization? In areas outside of the what we call the original Hazzard Idaho. Why can’t the original be made even better elsewhere, in the same area, as where I found my General Lee? The Mini Cassia area. So that’s what’s going on. Speaking of that however, due to my two sweet goof up’s, both in Wyoming as well as Gooding, my place in the club has been lowered from XO(Executive-Officer) to just XOO (Executive-Operations-Director) Meaning only suggest but not initiate any new projects. Which suits me fine as now I can spend more of my time building my own personal company back up to the level it once was.

Lets face it both LexiBelle and LiL Lexi have been needing serious attention for nearly 8 years , not to mention the General Jackson, plus me starting to make some serious green to elevate my self above the near poverty level I have been living under for the past 10 or so years. Plus I have needed a rest from the grind of the club, for some time.

Oh I’ll be online reporting the news and events of the Knytes and all, but that’s about all. Here in this column I’ll be speaking of my journey on the road of life.

What I see, where I go to toew, and fly. A week from Tomorrow Wednesday I hit the 52nd yard stick, of life, and when only one person in this valley buys me a cup of Java, and a birthday card, one knows that a change of environment is needed. While we travel this road of life, for many of us alone with only Kahless by our sides, still the road is one way. One only gets one trip on this highway of life, and I’m tyred of dying and frying and sacrificing for the good, of a an area, not just the club, but many who will never appreciate my efforts or belittle me for the effort. Not being selfish or anything, its just tyme for good old Cooter to act and enjoy Cooter, and not try to be so much for everybody, just be me for me.

I want to say thank you to our Nurse GoodBody Ellie May for the card and Java, your love and prayers and gifts of self will be my illumination in the darkest of nytes, and treasured always.

Until L8R

Hazzard Jeopardy

It would seem that our beloved Dukes-of-Hazzard is being shelved once more from CMT’s line up. In favor of some bland offerings. Time for ya’ll to write, call and email both Viacom and CMT , and tell them , this ain’t no time to be shelving the show, the one show that raised their ratings back to a proper level.

News from club, Hazzard Nationals aka- DukesFest West is still on track for 2013 at Filer Idaho.

Inking the deal this week.

Oh Really, the Truth hurts don’t it TV LAND?

So I tuned into the TV LAND AWARDS, hoping to see a wholelot more than I did. Oh granted the reunions of the Cosby Show, Family Ties and all were good. The tribute to Welcome Back Kotter as good as it was. But to name Daryl and John Oats as ICONS, was a buy in , if anything. However I think and its showing. The little LPTV Network called Retro TV Network (RTV) has stolen TV LAND, Nick @ Nite and many of the rerun networks thunder. Consider that on RTV, not only can you watch Airwolf, BlackSheep Squadron , but every good action show, from KnightRider to The Rifleman. Add in a dose of Kojak, Marcus Welby MD, the A-Team and you have a very rounded program schedule. Think of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries that is just some of RTV’s line up. If there was a RTV Awards the damn thing would last at least 2 hours. There would be so many real Icons that TV-Land and its parent company Viacomm could not compete.

So then go to TV-LAND’s Web site to comment, nope ya’ll cain’t get in that door. My money, ad money that is , is with RTV and few if any other.

The rest of TV is scared squatless of both RTV and RFDTV, after all where else can you watch HeeHaw than on RFDTV? Maybe the rest of TV needs to look much more carefully at RTV, and take a few pages out of RTV’s book.

L8R Ya’ll
