Friends are friends as long as you don’t REALLY need something

Friends are friends as long as ya’ll don’t REALLY need something.

Example; with the turn over of the funds from Bud to our new bean counter and distributor in Blackfoot the utility bill here at the Rat Shak was somehow over looked. Now granted to me and others $172.00 is a bunch of money, especially when trying to shoe kids, feed everyone and keep your own ship afloat, but too , if one is working a bunch and should know that in two and a half weeks the loan would be paid, there should not be any resistance. So I asked our Nurse GoodBody, if she could spot me that $172.00 . Nope. While I could and can understand , since I bumbed $700.00 from her to bail out LexiBelle a few years ago and defaulted, only due to Bud not being able to manage things in the right way due to his illness, but still, I am getting a slight increase in pay from SSI and all and with someone else who would make sure the debt was paid should not be any trouble.

Now in this scenario going to SAMCRO for the quick loan would be no biggy, but all of those who could help are out for the holiday’s and with club elections just a month away, nobody can issue out funds. So the search is on for help here.

But I also see where some friends would be gun shy of lending funds to a friend. Simply when its about money , nothing kills a friendship than exchanging finances.

So , friends are friends until or unless you need something, really NEED something.

Brains are not the best asset of Yankees.

If brains were dynamite most Yankees could not blow their noses.

I think it has to do in part to these cold winters here, or something , but brain fluid gets gooey and cain’t quite flow proper, kind of like slow molasses. Some put it to simple no education , or that the people albeit being somewhat of our rebel redneck persona , but what ever it is. If the USA, is going to get out of its current mess , it’d better be looking to the Confederate States of America for help. The fact that decades of decadence has caused much of the current dilemma is starting just now to puddle up like manure out of a milk cow first in the morning.

Then there is the condition that all too many cain’t do simple mental configuring on a rather simple situation.

Example, UPS , driver, a gal no less, comes to here to my Rat Shak, to deliver the goodies from EasyRiders. Goes up the street, trying to find a shop. Yet no shop here, but I have a lean to in back of the shak, to build bikes. Yet this UPS gal could not finger out that a custom H-O-G shop was or could be behind a house. Not thinking that it don’t take no 80X80 shop to build bikes. Guess what? Got the package , but whew cain’t these people decipher these simple concepts?

I often wonder about how so many people are so much in a constant state of or have an incurable state of PMS. Seems no matter where you go, there is one or two if not more people in a store that is having a bad day.

Sure I know not all in the west here can have or even immulate southern hospitality and all, but why not try? I know what Yoda from Star Wars fame said, “ Do or don’t, no try” but these northern Yankees don’t even attempt to be happy or at least greet customers with at least a cheerful greeting. Its not that I expect the sounding of trumpets or anything, but its like, this morning, cruized up to the neighborhood quick store(Maverick, Overland Ave, Burley-Idaho) . I remarked that it was sure cold outside, which it is, instead of at least greeting me with a , “yes sir it sure is,” Her attitude was , hurry up , buy your snuff and get out, I have other things to do. Bullsbreath. If your working in an industry or job, where your dealing direct with customers, or other employees even, if your having troubles at home , leave those troubles at home, guess its that I have learned the act of cheering people up even if they are not in such a good mood. That goes with the profession of driving a toew truck. Most I deal with, when I deal with them are pissed off, either their rig is broke down, slid off or after a wreck. In these cases folks’ attitudes are not of the best. But by me being friendly, I calm them down and turn the attitude into a time of peace, not hostility. Too bad others can’t learn that, but again, its the Yankee thing.

Just my opinion.

Unless I know you, the box ain’t gettin opened

Its that time of year when all too many new laptops , desktops and other web capable devices get bought and given as gifts.

It’s also when Internet panhandlers are out there ready to separate you from your money, or inflict revenge through worms, malware, Trojans and we ain’t talkin of contraceptives either.

The best solution since none of us can know all threats , that we might be subjected to, is to know, damn well the emails and companies we get emails and offers from.

Used to be, that in years gone by, trash mail came in the snail mail box. If you didn’t like the offer, you used it as a liner for Flash’s doggy box or bird cage. Or just junked it.

Now days its interactive. Not only do we get flooded with emails from those firms with products that are made cheap, and are sold for a premium price, there is also the 3rd world nations that envy the crippled economic but nearly free USA. Thus they attack, us through our inboxes. In most cases requests for membership into the club, are screened long b4 I see em in my inbox, more over if I don’t know you, don’t expect me to look at your email. Call me first, then I’ll respond.

Where few others dare to go

B4 I get into my daily howl here, I want to say to the jerk last night who said , that thought he being better than I , called me just another tow truck driver. Whew, I had to hold back from dropping that feller on the floor of Loves Truck stop here. JUST A TOW TRUCK driver? I’ll remember this guy when he needs pulled out of the snow. Or rescued at 3:00AM .

Okay then.

I think that anybody who gets on air should try to make themselves more humbling to their listeners or viewers.

Example, Robin Mead on CNN in the morning, fine show and all, but she has a blog so called. But rather, than giving us her thoughts on a given topic or issue, she just regurgitates what was on air that morning. Chute, we all has all heard and seen that, how about her sticking her neck out and telling us her thoughts on something. Extend herself out from the show. That is what makes a good on air personality, I think. Let those who go to a networks website and read really what is on that hosts mind, let US get to know them, rather than just rehash crap we have already seen or heard.

Maybe and don’t push the maybe , baby, is why for over 30 years behind the mic ye ole AyreWolf here, on all the shows that I host on HazzardAyre.com has always rated in the number 1 or 2 spot on most Arbitron ratings for overnight and early morning radio, likewise its why many in the Pocatello area flocked to their TV’s to watch our shows on cable access there at CH-12 . Was I made myself available, accessible and upfront with my viewers. Many people there who had never b4 tuned into cable access did so, not bragging , just stating a fact.

In short, I write my blogs during music sets on air, as well as after I get home after that days shows. There are things because of FCC rules and time restraints I can’t expand upon, on air. So I relate my feelings and thoughts on what I covered on air, likewise what I’d like to cover on air.

Of course I’m more aggressive and all, but then , what else would you expect from ye ole AyreWolf here, since I do and go, “ Where Few Others Dare to Go” .

See ya’ll 2nyte

Some days its best to stay in bed,

Some days it’d be best to stay in bed. Well its Christmas, and cold.

Fix it jobs that I should have been doing on rigs have started catching up on me.

Dig this, went to get milk and grub , on the way home, went to snag 3rd in LiL Lexi, and guess what? No clutch. So did the rpm shuffle to get it home, got home, but now need to fix clutch. There are some lights in the clouds though, at least the clutch went out during the wee hours of night when no or hardly no traffic is out, and so no real big thing, but this going to be expensive. Oh well at least got BIG Lexi to haul around in so not really crippled but feel its going to be a while till I’m motoring to Twin any time soon, or elsewhere.

I don’t know if its the Roman’s that reworked the calendar but what ever its said, before the Gentiles and Jews reconciled , the day of rest was really Saturday. Be that as it may, I’m home and glad I have what I have.

Had to scrub going to Twin to see Nurse GoodBody, but hey the clutch going out is one of those challenges that God gives us, to see if we’ll retain faith, in him.

Just another grand day in paradise, but really, Some Days its best to stay in bed.

Ya’ll gotta wonder where these smugly and near smugly guys get the hot babes?

B4 I get into my rant here, I want to tip my hat to T-Mobile for their Xmas ad that I’m seeing on YouTube. All those pink dress’s and all, gives a old confederate soldier a spirit lift. Bet this becomes a tradition like that Coke holiday jingle a few years ago. Looks like the Layton Hills Mall, Layton Utah is where that was shot. Congrats.

Which brings me to my final thoughts for the morning.

Where do these smugly guys find these fine babes(women) to get attached to? Granted many gravitate to those making big money, those are called Gold-Diggers which is what you see on all those TV court shows in the AM weekdays . For the rest, how do these guys find and retain these gals? Many of these guys are unemployed, druggies, and so on, yet these gals would rather be with them rather than a real guy who has more than most money wise, yet I don’t show it to prevent the Gold Digger syndrome but again gotta ask, where do these guys find that sweet sugar?

Like my pal in Utah , Tommy. He has been hooked up with so many hotties that you could eat off their butts they being so sweet, yet there’s Tommy, not much if any bigger than I am body wise, and he’s got another hottie. Hey Tommy, get me one will ya’ll?

Again ya’ll gotta remember where we are. More over where I’m at, Idaho.

9 months, if shit don’t get better here, its eye ball both Echo/Morgan Utah again, or Wendover Utah.

I have just about had it here.

No big crap on Idaho, but hey Idaho, just does not have the resources I need to make, both AyreWolf Aviation and/or CooTer’s Toewing gain altitude or action. Utah does.

But then ya’ll gotta remember where we are at

So there I wuzz doing last nights radio gig, all truckin along fine, until 03:35 hours when boom , Internet feed for the music from YouTube goes to the manure pile. Thinking its my weakling computer, rebooted twice, computer okay , it was after all Cable-One. Their hilltop repeater puked , so the signal for a half hour was sour.

So I went analog, fed the show from my music collection, and then resumed the YouTube feed.

Now realize that I went for Cable-One’s 50 meg connection here, more over the extra expense, but Cable- One’s excuse was, sorry but we are only a small cable company. I say if ya’ll play with the big dogs stay on the porch, sell the system to Comcast and lets get what we are paying for here.

I have said it so many times that there are not enuff grains of sand to count, but technology is not one of Idaho’s great strengths. I watch that new ad from Idaho Power talking about the jobs of the future here, in Idaho. That 80% or better is going to be in computer and other technology, not just the traditional production agriculture. Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful every dang day for the farmers producing the grub I eat, but can’t there be a equal level here, between the needs of now and the needs and requirements of tomorrow?

But then again, remember where we are at.

Just like finding sweet hiney for ads for my company or the club, which includes HazzardAyre Radio, this is Idaho, 50 years behind, and still trying to catch up.

More on an idea on this all, next time here on HazzardAyre.
