Once again having to go out of state

Still under winds and humidity at this hour , but the moist conditions helped in getting areas 402 and 307 under control. Sitting here at AW Command I am all alone, with just a short drip of a coffee maker and the silence of west Bountiful.

Saw allot of things yesterday morning and earlier Thursday afternoon. Had the opportunity to chat with a fellow who along with being a pro firefighter is also a consultant with a professional website building company who says they can build the HazzardAyre/AyreWolvez website. Complete with the ability to stream HazzardAyre and AyreWolfFM , over LIVE 24/7. But alas it means taking our business out of Idaho. Which is no big surprise.

In business as well as even the club, time is not a commodity to be wasted. For nearly 8 years we have bounced all over trying to find just one person to build our website. Without having to drive or fly all the way to Portland Oregon to do it. Forget trying to find ANYONE in Idaho to do this task. Sure many in Idaho can build a simple site, but the streaming audio/radio station is just beyond their grasp.

I hear from many TV ads in the Twin Falls area, that says keep your dollars at home. Just as with anything Idaho, if there is an aid to a project its sparse at best to nearly none existent.

Example look up the Idaho Film Commission. The site points out generalities most services based in Boise, but no patch to register your company or project.

Yet go to Utah’s Film Commission site and you get real resources, to aid in a production.

While I would say that that film or video production to a military Warbird enthusiasts organization like ours is like spuds to beef still they do go together. Moreover getting certain things on camera is the job of folks much more intelligent than even myself behind the camera to film it. Like what you say? Like a race between a F-4-U Corsair and a P-51 Mustang. This has never been done. Yet its something we’re planning for the 2014 AyreWolvez AyreShow in Tooele Utah. Sorry Idaho you missed that one too. So why don’t I just move here? Simple my income does not allow me to afford the high costs of an apartment etc here in Utah. If it did, my trucks would be loaded up faster than Boss Hogg eating raw liver.

The reason I do live rather exist in Burley Idaho, is that in an hour or so my butt can be down here, doing business.

But I’m not , I don’t think nor the club being the only ones having this problem. You get an idea for a off the wall project, and yet just can’t find resources of any kind in Idaho to see the project through. Or get the runaround or the disgusted look, and no response or refuse to respond ignore attitude. Like us with the Weekly News Journal and The Voice of Mini Cassia newspapers. And don’t get me started on the Slime News based out of Twinky Flatts. To them I say, I want my pictures back on the story about the club YOU never wrote nor published.

Well , Command sezz , time for sleepo.

Will see ya’ll about 14:00 Hours.

Consumer alert education, still needs research

Caught a glimpse of a story on the news on Confederate Star TV, which is now on the air, FINALLY, about how those body hugging form fitting jeans from the 1980’s called Dittos. My first connection with Dittos came from producing some local radio ads for Pederson’s Department Store in Twin Falls, (no longer in business) that store through Dittos sponsored my first bracket racing car and that was my crude introduction to women models, hot rods and so on.

So then I go to my email and look and here’s a set of multi colored jeans from the Bella Thorne collection,

See the similarity? Then I researched a bit further and found that not only 80’s retro fashions are returning, but that even Go-Go boots, like we dug from from the 1960’s 1970’s are on their way back. I’m not talking about the boots that are thigh high, but the square heeled zipper on the side, mostly white, and black, with the foam inner lining that had the manufactured perfume inside. Some of those smelled really purtty. Now it seems they are coming back. Sure would have been groovy if they would have been more available in 1980 when through a search for a pair for a hot rod shows diorama, we found ye ole General, but who knows.

So hearing of this computer virus that’s supposed to shut down 90% of the Internet on Monday, so I took down the web addy www.dcwg.gov went there and the damn thing was a blank page. Did KMVT’s Joe Martin, not report the right link, or did he just depend on the already aired news story to direct us to the right site?

Maybe Joe will air the right web addy on Friday. Or do like me , wait till Tuesday to go online.

Okay then, are our 80’s fashions coming back, from Dittos To fashion sport Go-Go Boots>>Is this a condition that our fashion gurus have given up trying something new, or is old , new now?

Its not just fashion, cars and even Trucks have gotten a redoux. Dig this and I’ll leave as my meds from a migraine I had all day from breathing in smoke from the fire lines here are kicking in, but to tease you, did you know the old big truck nameplate AutoCar is back?

L8R ya’ll

I hate websites that lie about what they offer

Free TV, online, not. I saw through a search for giggles of the club. The search led me to some goofy website that sedd free TV online, just download our toolbar. So I did, for about 10 minutes. After I filtered through the offerings and got to SOA, sedd it costs $3.00 per episode. Are they stupid? Who the hell would download the thing, when one can go to Wal-Mart, buy the DVD and it be free anytime I want it. 

I say that there ought to be some kind of policing of the web, to make sure that sites offer what they say they offer or change the damn title and admit, the damn thing costs money.

Several years ago, and it took some doing, by us at SAMCRO MC, but there was supposedly a site that said they offered free credit reports. There was no mention that to get the free credit report you had to buy into their credit monitoring service. However the majority of SAMCRO MC , wrote the Federal Trade Commission, amongst others and now even on their TV ads they say free credit report with enrollment in Credit Advantage. But we made em come to point and task.

But why lie to begin with?

If something costs money, say it costs money, better that than have someone go to the trouble of installing a computer program to watch free TV when it ain’t free TV. Or any other offer similar.

I fully understand that all of us need to earn a dollar I understand it, but maybe the one reason, that HCC/Dixie Toewing for so many years has weathered economic storms and all, is we have no need for disclaimers. We publically publish our toewing rates and we stick to them. When we say we offer something at the shop, that’s damn well what’s offered. If we say we are going to do, or have done something, ya’ll can bet your next tune up that, is exactly the real offer. Not some bullshit thing, just to get you in the door.

Just like Cable-One of Idaho. They say they offer 50 mg, internet. Bullshit, it never has been 50 mg speed. If it hits 30 mgz and that is in the wee hours of the morning when hardly anyone is on line. Cable-One says they offer things at a certain price, bullsbreath. They might say they offer something at $25.00 or $75.00 per service in a bundle package, but if your like me, ya’ll get stuck with a bill for $200.00 , talk about no bait and switch. More like Smoke & Mirrors. But what do you do? If ya’ll want cable and a bit more bandwidth than CenturyLink, DSL, you have to subscribe to Cable-One, but couldn’t Cable One say exactly what it costs?

Guess few have our ethics, but then that’s why we have been in business since 1978, huh?

Until L8R

Ever try and enter a website that YOU registered with only to not be able to acknowledge the confirmation?

Ever try and enter a website that after they send you a confirmation , wont even let you log in so you can confirm its you?

I get criticized all the time over the length of time the construction of the Knytes site is taking, but the reason for the delay is, I damn well want to know that the Knytes site will be as goof proof, and idiot proof as possible. More over to have a webmaster monitoring the site 24/7/365, to make sure that members who pay $150.00 a year to be members and membership pledges can at least get in without a bunch of manure, in the process. Of the rest of the delay is finding female model talent to feature on the site, on all title pages, to enable email accounts and finally someone to put the infrastructure together to enable live streaming of not only HazzardAyre both TV as well as radio. More over all the radio shows that we broadcast, from AyreWolfFM to Highway Hooker Radio. I want our site to work 200% or it ain’t going to get built. No use in building something that pukes. Granted computers, and the Internet being what it is, yes an occasional oops, will happen, but not all the damn time, like many do. The difference here, is if there is a problem, they’ll be someone that you can really call, a human, that will look into it, and get whatever oops healed.

This is what we call and to us it’s the only way for the ultimate website to be.

Okay then,

You might have noticed increased blogging today. Reason, is, I wont be online much if at all as I’ll be on fire watch control in Salt Lake City, at the HQ of AyreWolf Aviation. As we have 9 crews out in the air fighting fires in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, western Wyoming, and Idaho. We currently have 24 aircraft in the air on these fires a mix of both fixed winged and rotorcraft.  We are also doing air rescue of trapped people that other authorities can’t get to.

So I’m hitting the bunk.

Talk to ya’ll Saturday.

For the uninformed and totally ignorant

For the uniformed and completely ignorant, the Klingon Blood Oath is a ceremony to formalize ones intentions of remaining loyal and retaining honor in the Empire and to the Empire.

The ceremony includes the slicing of an open hand and dripping blood over an open flame and the shaking of hands also sliced to symbolize ones brotherhood of and in the Empire.

I looked this up on some goofy somewhat informative web site of all things Trek, but all that site had were obscure episode guides.

Us who are of the order of Sons of Kahless, aka SOA etc know this to mean much more than a TV show.

The Knytes-of-Anarchy have held this ceremony since the formation of the club. The Blood oath for us determines the real intentions of becoming a member of the club, and their dedication as well as maintaining the standards of loyalty and honor.

Sure it’s a tad bit on the painful side, but cuts heal. The mixing of blood is our way of making sure those who wear the cut, and patch of the club are worthy of that membership. The Blood Oath is but a simple part of iniation  of membership in the club, but one that really does determine ones true dedication to and of the Knytes-of-Anarchy/Sons of Kahless.

The only question I have is why would a site of all things Trek, not have this as part of their site or at least include it in their episode guide? Just amazing, but now you are informed and know what the truth is, and who knows that truth.

Next, how to trim ones fingernails properly and getting rid of dog urine from concrete.

L8R Ya’ll

Time passages

Time Passages is more than an old folk song. It’s the passing of time and sorrow.

Last week one of my favorite TV stars passed away, in North Carolina. Andy Griffith.

For years like clock work I’d stay awake and watch that old TV show, thinking of the local law here in Cassia County

and even to a small degree Hazzard(Hagerman) Idaho. With Barney Fife.

Things like this make me realize just how old I am. Next door neighbors kid had never watched Star Trek TOS or even NG. But was asking questions on quantum physics , like WARP speed. There are people who have never seen Adam 12, Emergency, Dragnet, and a whopping amount of TV that we enjoyed or at least I did as a kid.

Heck outside of working on the farm, TV was the magic carpet. Yes I read tons of books, but seeing those TV stars and episodes come alive in black & white and eventually color, was truly magical.

I saw the Monkees, I saw the Ed Sullivan Show, and even a series in what we live today, called the 21st Century hosted by renown newscaster Walter Cronkite.

And who can forget and thankfully from Ben Jones and wife Alma, to us here in the Knytes keeping it alive, The Dukes of Hazzard. A bit of trivia that you might have missed, unless keeping score at home. Did you notice that Crazy Cooter’s car on the first few episodes, like when they were rounding up the slot machines, did you notice Cooter’s car was the same Ford Torino that was used in Starsky & Hutch?

It all comes down to those days of nearly free , liberty, lower prices on many things since Uncle Sam was not in our wallets as much, and thinking if people do not start looking down south for answers , that simple liberty is going to be taken away.

Ever since the surrender at Appomattox when Gen Lee and Gen Grant signed the truce, Confederates feel we still lost. But the true earthly salvation is not just from GoD almighty, but, from a new government, called the United Confederate States of America. Hey we have tried it the Union way for nearly 100 years or better, and it hasn’t worked. Now lets try it Jefferson Davis’ way.

More Thursday, taking time off to recoup from a long two days.
