BUT DID YA’LL NOTICE

Hey have ya’ll noticed, the jerx in MHI have been leaving us alone lately? Even that little fartknocker in Pocatello that started the rumble. Guy reminds me of Rumplestilskin or some Nome. Little pointed head peanut brained inbred puke he is.

Any mile sorry but not in a good mood today.

Toewing season not that good this year and in doing up the books found we are still in the black, but just fractionately so. Which is why mid month March 2012 I made the exec decision to redoux Dixie Towing, Dixie-A1 Toewing and SpeedWrench Toewing and merge them all into what we fly by here as simply BlackSheep Toewing . Think of our trucks as F-4-U Corsairs and you’ll get the idea. As far as things DOH –{Dukes Of Hazzard} that lives through the shop as Hazzard County Choppers or HCC. We build hot rod, rather what is called Rat-Rods and what we call Rat Rod Trucks, even big 18 wheel sized trucks. This means looking rusty, or with flat paint with only bare essentials to run. And our projects do run well. No flashy paint , no flashy chrome, just have fun rigs. Of course we also are the only Harley Davidson factory authorized service shop in Mini Cassia Idaho, and we also service both Triumph and Norton Road Bikes. No trail bikes and no Jap crotch critters but we does love them HOGS. The word for those not in the know HOG stands for Harley Owners Group. The term was fashioned in the mid 1950’s by Willie G’s Dad as a marketing tool, sort of like we in 1981 put together the Hazzard County Knytes , now the Knytes-of-Anarchy, to help move product and our services at the then Hazzard County Garage, aka Hazzard County Choppers.

Nuff said there.

With that in your talons in doing up things in mid March and facing near jail time in scrapping metal to make chew money, I decided there needed to be a change in our OTR toewing service. So retaining the legend , up came BlackSheep Toewing named after Boyington’s legendary combat fighter squadron , I took on the persona of Pappy, and so it goes.

BlackSheep Toewing is also compliments AyreWolf Aviation very well so that’s that on that.

Okay then, there is this thing that pops its ugly head up, every once in awhile.

When I bark about paying out money, for such things as model talent or buying TV and or radio station properties or licenses, the money is not just me!! The real money comes from the collective treasury of  the Knytes-of-Anarchy/AyreWolvez. Its not just me.

That treasury started with about $100.00 in 1976, and continually has grown, from that slim $100.00 to just over $30,million in both fixed and liquid assets .

Not bad for a club that many said was dead, or would die after a short few months.

From, the word go. The then Hazzard County Knytes now the Knytes of Anarchy, not only wrote the book on the way a custom ride enthusiasts group should be, but on the way events were held, produced and presented. Essentially we moved this valley from Strevell to Boise to Lewiston Idaho and all in between, as far as growth and notoriety. And yet can we get any respect from the local mainstream press? I could walk into the Weekly News Journal or the Voice here in Burley with a million bucks and they still wouldn’t give us paper space.

Guess that’s why Jay at the Weekly News , has to put in his weekly editorial stupid crap about his family going somewhere doing something lame.

While we here on HazzardAyre are publishing the real news.

Even the Slime News of Twin Falls can’t keep up. Guess they like the TV stations are too chicken shit to publish something that might and I say might offend the LDS majority. Yet in real life, our records show that some of the higher up’s in and of the LDS Church read HazzardAyre. More than any of the other 3.

Why? Because we go after the news few do, and present it in a spicy way. Not the bland soup, they might serve at a Relief Society dinner.

But did ya’ll Notice?

Courtesy has a price on it

If a media outfit be it a TV station or publishing place like newspaper , if they use a piece of anothers creation, without permission , a law suit can and usually is in the works following those works.

Now if you want permission to use this or that you contact the creator of that whatever. If you’re a media firm big enough, you’ll get it next to free. BUT not FREE. You’ll usually have to at least pay some sort of user fee.

So what does this have to do with me?

I see on a regular basis, illegal copying of our printed and published products and it has to end.

Like over a TR Footnotes. I see things that I started. Pretty soon ya’ll will see nylon footed models showing off equipment in TR Footnotes. My question is, why can’t some of these people consider us just like they do say NBC or CNBC and not redoux everything we do, or are we in the Knytes the only creative people left on Earth? Even so if we are, I want paid, or at least acknowledgement from whoever is doing that copying of our stuff. If ya’ll want to use stuff from HazzardAyre or any subsidiary, tell ya’ll what? Send me $20.00 and ya’ll can use it all over the damn place, don’t send me $20.00 or get the permission , ya’ll will pay through the nose in court, or end up like a local motel/taxi company owner did in Burley here , missing and found dead.

Like I said, Courtesy has a price, we ain’t doing it for free any more.

Oh and for those in my area that gave me such a hard time on bumbing me some SKOAL few weeks ago, I have a great memory, wait till this winter when ya’ll are on the side of the road in the freezing cold and snow needing a toew. Ask me then, if my price is negotiable? Sure ya’ll can call the auto clubs, guess what ? Most auto clubs in our area are handled by us, I don’t mind making you wait until your fingers are freezing to the bone.

All I’ll say then is, remember when I needed a can of SKOAL and my paycheck was late?

LIKE I SAID, COURTESY HAS A PRICE ON IT!!!

Truly amazing and near stupid

Some people don’t think. Course some ain’t quite complete between their ears.

Case-n-point, went to HazzardNet tried to log in, with my ayrewolf profile.

Tried 5 times, most likely wont try again.

Course the only reason I went there was to see if anyone there knew why CMT pulled the Dukes from their schedule.

Guess in both cases the old Gen Lee, must’ve ran out of go juice. Which is why in 2008, it was made official at a mini meeting in Glenn’s Ferry, to revamp the big club from the Hazzard County Knytes to the Knytes-of-Anarchy. We saw the paint on the barn that things Hazzard were weaning seriously, with little hopes of resurrection.

Two attempts at a Dukes movie one in 2005 that was bitter to all serious Hazzard fans, and DOH the Beginnings, even with April Scott being Daisy, was so off timeline and all that the one airing on ABC FAMILY was it.

Talk around Hollywierd is that there is a serious attempt at a more original based movie in line with the original series timeline and story line.

The Knytes-of-Anarchy not to be outdone is pursuing a project called HazzardAyre, but that’s in about two years off.

My gripe is simple, why folks can’t build a damn website to something, that will remember a long time user, profile so you can at least log on.

Both fxnetworks and HazzardNet, need to take a few Google lessons. On building the site that has a real person not just a damn computer monitoring the damn thing.

That way if someone is having trouble there is a REAL PERSON to help.

It’s been said and this from a recent Dixie Broadcasting speech, and I quote, “ There always will be crooks, poor folks and stupid people” Unquote.

In today’s IT world there is the latter geeks that truly are stupid.

The stupid Cassia area elections and press

One must always be patient and understanding of those less intelligent or just those who choose to keep their heads buried in the sand, to ignore situations that might be to wyld for them.
Of course there was the last elections , which I voted , but as a none declared voter meaning not choosing either Republican nor Democrat, as I choose the Confederate Party, I could only vote for the judges races. The rest I was excluded from. This is a condition that should be corrected.
During the election, I saw tons of letters to the editor in both our Mini Cassia Newspapers, that were nothing more than ads for candidates , masked as letters to the editor.
Then , I think, weren't we as the Knytes-of-Anarchy excluded from getting our letters to the editor, etc published because ours were considered ads, rather than letters? The list goes on. But I saw in this weeks Weely Mailer something from editor Jay, who really should move his ass and famdamnly out of our area back to conservative Logan Utah, and allow those with more southern ways of thinking to voice our views. Of course the Voice is the same.
But each week I see both newspapers that are mailed to my address, 811 21st street Heyburn, 83336 that I have asked not be mailed to me as both papers, are crappy.
But each week, its the same thing, same un-needed junk, and yet millions of times I have requested a column for us, but the request falls on deaf ears. As being racist or such. Did I not see a letter not too long ago there about Mini Cassia area being Mini Mexico? (More like tiny Tijiuana) but that was published. ours? Not. There is a fix, its coming but damn oh and by the way. You all have heard that the butt wipe that conned me into moving over here to Mini Cassia from Buhl, got thumped in the head and stuck. Wont say it is, wont say it ain't , but there are consequences to pissing off the Knytes-of-Anarchy or one of the members(me).
More another time.

Back in the cab again

Ever wonder what’s biting you on the heels or in the nuts overnight while ya’ll sleep? Was up at the slightest nibbling and now can’t go back to slumber town.

Many things going on in my cranium such as the approaching of relaunching Dixie Diesel Radio.

Some how over the course of many highways our radio gigs origin has been lost some how. As such, I’d like to rectify this.

Long b4 there was anything Hazzard in our vocabulary , long b4 there was the Knytes, we were created out of a need of forward thinking young Wolf-Pups wanting to go trailer trucking, trucking. As such we formed a pioneering pilot 4-H program devoted to such.

Then as a project we launched KDSL, that became KTOW. But we were and are above all else truckers that treasure and hold reverent the golden age of long and short haul trucking. And desire to preserve it.

It was at the outset the foundation that the Knytes-of-Anarchy was formed on it, with the concept being we are bikers only with more wheels and steel.

With the upcoming launch of KDXB here in Burley, I thought that the first rabbit out of the hole ought to be , Dixie Diesel Radio. Reignite that passion we once felt and that made us as a extended sibling of the UAITA

the powerhorse we once were here and that made us what we are.

My Wolf Sense is that as many have been barking a sheep on the flat is worth two to run after, that maybe holding off on where we were going to put Knytes Hall on west main in Burley and for me to concentrate on going towing. In essence get back in the cab. Haven’t made up my mind yet , but thinking on it serious.

Finally radio council meeting tonight at 20:00 hours here at the rode House.

Computers are only as smart as those who program them.

Watched last nights gig with both Walt Disney and then FaceBook founder Mark Zuckerburg. Both were good, but then one looks at things like Twitter. Or even FaceBook and even though both of their network monitors, and there are those, see that things going up there are the blogs , the ability to get the clubs name in front of the postings on both without it being just me is near to completely impossible, without setting up yet another account.

Then there is the lack of a Help Desk , technical phone in department, to where if you really want to talk to a human in some programming department there so they will make corrections to the account that can’t be done online, is terribly stupid.

So then too, consider this. The entire organization of the United American Independent Truckers Association that has as its subsidiaries The Hazzard County Knytes(Knytes-of-Anarchy), The AyreWolves Military Aviation Association, SAMCRO MC, to name just the crest of the operations here, with just over 250,000 members world wide, and an annual income of just under $20,million a year, we still have a help service desk, answered by members, not no call service. We still are rooted right near where we started, and 9 of the founding members still as officers of the club, means more than intact, in fact very solid. We were hardly affected by the economic crisis, the the modern day depression, and grew albeit slower, but still grew membership and operations wise without hardly any downturns. Yes some costly business mistakes were made, but we recovered.

But getting back here.

I would like to say to Mark, the people at Twitter and even the former MySpace.

It’d be nice to have a way to call you when somebody needs to change something, that you never fully updated.

Now as I close. As ya’ll know Al Wyatt JR. Passed away recently. His family needs our help.

While it may be a short time to plan and all, I’d like to propose to you our Hazzard Knytes Members. ALL OF YOU.

 

This years Hazzard County Nationals aka DukesFest West, be done in min form here in Burley Idaho. Then give the proceeds shy of expenses to Al Wyatt Jr’s family, or send it to Ben or Alma or John or Scott, but deliver it someway to Wyatt’ family.

Next, getting Knytes Hall in order.

L8R Ya’ll

Forgotten Radio

I suppose that like many b4 I found it to be a greater than imagined hobby, that radio is taken for granted.

It’s not uncommon for people to take that music box in the dashboard for granted. If it works , good, if not its only a mile or so to the work 20.

But for those whose job it is to deliver America, radio can be a God send.

Providing entertainment , news, and industry news, sports, and weather and needed road reports.

But that’s getting ahead of ourselves here.

There was a time in this great nation when families would gather around the radio and after dinner sit in the living room Knit, or play board games or just visit.

Not just listen to music but radio dramas long before There was our friend, companion, and magic carpet from normal rural and sub-rural lifestyles.

Then came the construction of the Interstate Highway. I-80 went up first followed by others.

Trucking was no longer a regional enterprise, long haul over that long highway trucking became common, and the long haul blues with it.

The first to bring some relief, in the cab of those trucks on only AM, and scratchy as hell, but never the less something besides the drone of 10 wheels and tires on pavement.

The first of these trucking radio pioneers was Charley Douglas on WWL out of New Oreleenze Louisiana doing a thing called the CD Road Gang. Followed by Dave Nemo when the show got picked up for syndication in Nashville, however for those grinding gears in diesel fumed cabs here in the Mountain West, radio in the truck was near if not completely none existent.

This changed in 1975, when a 20 member 4-H club called the TeenAge Truckers Association put together put up a 50 watt radio station in western Idaho called KDSL or Kay-Diesel for short. At 89.1 FM , this was at the time of old Mom & Pop Truck Stops, Like the RoadRunner Texaco in Bliss Idaho, or even WaySide in Heyburn Idaho. Long hauls meant long nights. Truck Stops kept drivers fed and a new gig in Idaho kept them entertained. Long Haul Radio, on KDSL FM 89.1 West-Point Idaho.  KDSL lived until late 1983 when after My mom passed away, I turned our entire bottom floor of that grand house, of ours into what hails as today KTOW With the birth of KTOW we wanted to do something different, target those like ourselves who drove big rig tow trucks.

With the birth of Highway Hooker Toewing there, the name of our overnight gig, for us who tow heavy became, Highway Hooker Radio. Still runs, from 18:00 hours to midnight on the Confederate Star Network.

However the beginnings, and our soul was being lost. When the TeenAge Truckers Association after many name attempts finally arrived on taking our cue from our then parent organization that had for all attempts and purposes vanished, when the TTA, became the We picked up from where we started with KDSL. In American Falls a tiny, and I mean tiny studio was erected, and radio station KRVI (radio Voice of the Interstate) Now KJTK(Just Trucker Kountry) went on the air.

We took into doing Long Haul Radio again, but by this time , Hazzard fever had broken out amongst us and we looked for a way to bring that into the mix.

Two years later in 1989 on a run to Lost Wages Nevada, I saw the catchiest handle on an old shop in Saint George Utah, called Dixie diesel service & towing.

Upon the way back that handle kept ringing in my mind over and over and over again.

At the time there were few if any light duty port or performance diesel service shops. Although Volkswagen had brought out the Rabbit and Dasher in 78 somewhere with a diesel or as Bro would say drizzle in it. GM had light duty drizzles in Oldsmobile's , and light trucks, hell the last K5 Blazer had a diesel.

Long before BullyDog and others a tiny shop in downtown Blackfoot Idaho opened up called The Dixie Diesel Shop, diesel service Hazzard style.

We as an organization capitalized on that and in mid 1990 started carving out what would be Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio. Trucker Radio done Hazzard style. Since then Dixie Diesel went syndicated nationwide, bought the remains of what was called the Interstate Radio Network, or IRN and converted it at first to the Dixie Diesel Radio Network, that today is the Confederate Star Network.

What made Dixie Diesel so special?

That in my next report.
