Knyte Haul Part duoux

Ever notice that the best stuff in the world product and or service wise, never have or do much TV advertising? Like Goody’s Headache Powders. Now on the shelves of Smiths, no longer the absolute domain of Wal-Mart. Any mile, Goody’s is just about if not the lowest priced product o those shelves. Works faster than any of the others, and yet. You never see a TV, or any other ad by the way, of Goody’s on anything but a twice yearly NASCAR race. Even then ya’ll never see a TV ad for the product.

Now if you turn, on tv, that’s all you see almost. A product to cure this or cure to fix that, or this will kill back pain, joint pain, back pain, hemorrhoids or some other malady. Thing is not one damn one of them does what Goody’s does, as fast as Goody’s does, and yet not one peep.

Its just good stuff.

Course my toew Bro over in Twin at the big A1, there never does a big whoop de do on TV or elsewhere, he does a thing in the newspaper, of picking up junk rides, and that’s about it cept for the traditional Yellow Pages ad, that forgot to call on us AGAIN, hey Dex, wuzz up with that?

But dig this Charlie is probably the biggest if not the biggest toew service in Twin Falls and with us at Dixie doing reserve duty for A1, Charlie is the biggest Toew service in the valley, yet neither one of us advertises a lot if at all. Although we here at Dixie Toewing have tried, but got the door slammed in our face. Which I can’t see and perhaps its me but never have understood, why me smooching a toe on a hot babe is over the top? I mean shit, if I can stand the stink, and it’s a spoof playing on two simple words, toe and tow, yet can’t even get face time with an ad salesperson and yet some wonder why TV advertising is going into the toilet. Its like sanitizing everything around us and families. After awhile our natural defenses are so weak we get sick over a bit of fly poop on our arm.

But that’s a story for a different time.

Then of course, there is our parent company, AyreWolf Aviation. I have not put or tried to advertise that, because we nearly can’t keep up with what business we have now. Between fire suppression flying that we have been doing here over the last two months and now here in our own back yard. Ya’ll think its just BLM aircraft up there? In fact the reason I only get on the air every once in awhile right now, is I’m working fix up and ATC for AyreWolf Aviation.

Like I said, some things don’t need or require advertising since quality and perfection in task and product is advertising enough.

Keep it up on 18 wheels,

But why couldn’t they have kept the damn newscast?

They say opinions are like cowshit it smells and its all over the place. that said, I got to thinking on air last night , even with the blow out with KXTF –Fox 35 , why didn’t they just keep the 9:00 PM 2100 hours for us military folks out here, and still do that 9:00 PM newscast? Was doing two newscasts too expensive? Was getting ad dollars to difficult, even from those they felt were too racy and spicy?

Although over to the shop I still watch the station since it’s the only and I mean only LPTV station around here that can be picked up on a set of rabbit ears. That said, and I’m sure, I’m not the only one, granted a part of very few, that don’t have the ridiculous high priced cable strung inside our shops, to snag cable so give us a newscast.

Trust me friends and fellow Knytes members if we could fix it we would, but as I have howled at many a meeting, until the FCC lifts the new station moratorium on well, new station licenses we can’t go TV(yet). Plus until we get someone that knows how to set it up, we can’t stream like we want to on a IPTV (Internet Protocol Tele-Vision) , so since we can’t we must albeit nasty , kneel down to those that are on air and say wuzz up with no news?

Certainly they could run a half hour newscast. Keeping those not online or with cable/satellite, at least somewhat connected. Like I have said to those at KPVI many times, if ya’ll want to sell this thing out here in Twin Falls , we’ll buy it. We could make the little screamer run faster than LuLu Hogg doing the trotts.

So I ask KPVI and those at KXTF, wuzz up with not keeping the news and why not sell to someone that’ll make that station come alive? Why not become an affiliate of something like TUFF TV? Hey its nor RTV, but Tuff is RTV’s cousin, could make for a hit in the restrictive environment ya’ll run it on.

Let me know what ya’ll think?

Keep it tween the ditches,

Mountain Home is burning, ah too bad so sad.

I shouldn’t be that way, but the way I was treated in and around MHI, I say, burn baby burn.

I came to a deep thought through slumber last night and was culminated when my PSR called and told me he was taking time off, so I was basically on my own.

I can remember all the hecklers in MHI and surrounding community saying I should seek counseling. So I did. With the help of Nurse GoodBody. After nearly two years the goal of establishing myself as my own bean counter, has not occurred. As such I’m giving serious thought of dumping the LCSW, I’m seeing, the PSR from Alliance, Family Services, and finding a real head shrink with a Doctors stamp, that I can begin what ever I need to, to get me as my own bean counter.

Okay, If your standing in a pals shop , watching them do something and you absolutely know they are doing it wrong, should you say something or shut up?

Finally I want again to clear something up. SOA is TV, KOA is the real thing.  SOA is bikes, nothing wrong with bikes, hey I build bikes, but KOA is more trucks , not just bikes. The ratio of trucks, big rig trucks classic, custom , and just plain vintage big rig long haul rigs that were once the kings of the highways delivering America to America. That is KOA, SOA is Sons of Anarchy, KOA is Knytes of Anarchy. Hope you now have that straight in your head.

In closing to those in MHI, I hope its one of the hecklers that pestered me all through 3 years is directly in the path of the blazes that are burning most of the outlying areas of Mountain Home. To you again I say, ah too bad, so sad.

Shoes can tell you a bunch about women

The shoes a woman or lady wears can tell you a bunch about her personality.

If a woman dress’ in high heels the stiletto types tell you she's a bit more daring and more than likely not in very committed relationship, does not have a bunch of churchy foo paws and might go the distance. Whereas the woman who wears low heel , heels are more conservative, and less likely to venture out of the box mentally or intimately . More over she goes to church is either married or about to be or is more concentrated to her career than in dating or establishing a relationship if she isn’t in one already.

If she wears just sneakers , her personality is more casual, is a fitness buff, and wont get serious about anyone a bit overweight or eats meat. Her dating preferences are more likely on the restrictive side, and has a job somewhere in the child care or food services industry, or perhaps medicine as a nurse or nurses aid.

If she wears sandals or open toed shoes without a pedicure and barefoot, she’s one who is a casual professional like a LCSW, or mental health industry. With the possible options as someone who works in the lodging or housekeeping industries.

Now here is the closer, in most cases you can tell how daring and how much she yearns for a dressier look, if she’s wearing nylon hose, or not. If she’s not her demeanor is more in the younger mindset, and looks more for comfort rather than style.

It’s Monday, be looking out for Internet pauses and crashes. The FBI is launching a nationwide scan, for malware and botnet Trojans so if your speed is slower than Idaho’s usually is, that’s most likely the cause.

Finally, overnight we lost a wonderful actor and a close friend of this reporter.

Ernest Borgnyne passed away at age 95. For most of us here , Ernie will be remembered as Dominic Santini, aka Santini Air, or Dom on the series Airwolf.

Fly with the angels friend, rest easy.

Today’s AyreQuote: It depends on where your standing in America as to just how dumb you are-Bo Darvel aka The Bandit.

Despite everything, I am not perfect I too make mistakes.

There are many who think, that I think I’m perfect and beyond making mistakes or malfunctions. Thing is, that ain’t so.

My biggest I think and am finding out more so every day that moving from Wyoming to Idaho as being the one I’d like to reverse. However finances and the conditions of being in Idaho way too long, makes a rapid relocation impossible, but I’m looking at it stronger every day.

There are minor mistakes along this path. Trying to do things in this restrictive religious state is probably another big one. After all and yes I think way too many thump both the bible and Book-of-Mormon way too much, but do little of what both teaches. Female models for TV ads, aircraft and motorcycle body art is not possible here. That’s why there are few if any agencies representing models in Idaho. Boise yes, well sort of agencies, but not true pick off one in a book and she show up agency. It ain’t here. Nor is finding on air radio or for that matter TV talent. That’s why you see many new comers to both , radio and TV train here, but move on to other larger markets.

Speaking of TV, while its in my mind.

A few nights ago, I hammered both KMVT and KTVB, for a report on the malware crackdown by the FBI. Which was something I should not have done. Out of those two I want to apologize to KTVB. KTVB’s news team is one of the best if not thee best in Idaho. As far as KMVT, well KMVT gets what they get. KTVB, has one of if not a bunch of my favorite on TV newscasters. I remember when out 4-H Trucker club toured KTVB, I think I was about 13 or 14 at the time. It was when Dee Sarton first started there. I thought she was a dream, both looks as well as delivery on the news. Andrea Lutz is one of my other favorites. Much too good I think for Idaho, but its good she’s here. Kim Fields, is also good. I enjoy her on the weekends , she’s on helluva anchor. Of course Rick Lantz has the best most accurate forecast in the state on TV, when it comes to a personal note, one year as we were ramping up for our radio station network, I bumped into Rick at one years Idaho State Fair there in Garden City an outset of Boise. Any mile, I asked Rick where he gets the forecast? He directed me to the NOAA official site, and the link. I still use that today. Not all in the business are anti Knytes of Anarchy or me.

Okay then. Some of my other personal mistakes, is I sometimes don’t spell too good, and at times I spell words the way they sound, not the way they are really spelled. Of course one can look at our language and discover words that sound alike or even spelled alike but have different meanings.

Examples, in America if you call someone a fag its an insult to the GAY community. However in Ireland or the UK, a fag is a cigarette . Of course the big word I use often is toew. Combining the word TOW as in what I do mostly to eat, and the word TOE which is the appendage on the end of your foot. Of course another word that I started using because it was quirky enough to work is the word Hooker. In most conversations the word Hooker means a prostitute. In CB trucker slang the word Hooker means a tow truck, or one who drives a tow truck.

I bring this all up as I saw this clip on my FaceBook page of not being too critical. Which just being on FaceBook is enough to make anyone critical. But this lady got a prompting she says from God, which does happen, its only if we don’t listen that we are fixin to mess up. But this lady got a prompting to go one day without being critical of others. She says she did this and floodgates were opened and she had accomplishments she had not had in years.

I know in fact that I am way too critical of others. Maybe because I was raised up with the best of everything. From the best parents any and I mean ANY body could have. In living conditions that were nearly as perfect if not royalty status. I have never ever wanted for much of anything, if I did, it ain’t for long. I have had a supporting family that kept me from making a complete jackass out of myself at times, or really stepping into serious manure. From my cousin Bud who kept track of the money from Mom & Dad’s estate to the fine lady who manages my Government money now, although I have disagreed with Both Bud and Becky allot, the fact is, if it were not for them my picture might have been or could be much worse than it is now.

We all goof up. Yes I feel correction of mistakes is good, if you can and someone will open the door for you to make those corrections, but you have to let the past, be the past. Some are not so forgiving, but hey, that’s their problem. Sure I could to a small extent make a retreat from Idaho back to Wyoming, cuss out the entire state of Idaho, and all of that. But, I came back to Idaho to do 3 things, in order, to re-energize the main heart of the Knytes-of-Anarchy in Hazzard(aka-Hagerman), Two to get this radio station operational, 3; get our video/TV thing going. I did not come back to get going towing here in Idaho again, nor open and operate a custom bike and rat-rod/truck shop. But while the club is seeing some growth the radio thing is starting to move albeit at a mules pace, the TV thing is going to take longer than expected, hey Murphy’s Law, and as such gotta eat and live somewhat, so I snag and drag, and build custom bikes.

What About AyreWolf Aviation and all that? That in my next report.

But we all are not perfect, so here’s the challenge I have for you today, try to go all day without being critical of anybody, or saying a damaging word.

Let ya’ll know how I make out tonight both on air and in After the Show.

Idaho’s technical infrastructure is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine

If you caught the show earlier this evening you caught a good one, considering the technical problems. 80% of those problems were based on Internet connectivity. Or lack there of. True having my own pipeline might improve things, but Cable-One in their greed decided to double bill me in late February, early March and thus I’m relying on wifi. Which works 60% of the time. The answer for us of course is two, snoop into something like HughesNet, or Wild Blue, wait till the bill at Cable-One is paid then resubscribe or move the heart of the network to Utah, where even with its hiccups with Comcast, kicks ass over Cable-One. You’d think that people here would be up in arms over the slowness, and constant dropped signals. You’d think that there would be a solution, and we’re looking into all of it, including laying out a ton of cash to get our own pipeline, not just a connection to a provider like Cable-One, but be our own Internet connection provider. All to bring you the very best over the road and gear head style radio.

However its not just us, consider that Tom Luna State of Idaho’s Schools got a bill passed that’s supposed to connect every kid in Idaho to the Internet to get an education. If a kid tries to download a lesson, it’ll be nearly when he or she graduates b4 he gets the lesson from first grade downloaded.

Many teachers, mostly in the more populace area will get new lap tops, to provide lesson materials. Guess what ? At Cable-One speed the teacher will be collecting a pension b4 they get the first lesson downloaded, much less try to upload, shit, most of Idaho’s kids could be graduated from college b4 they can upload their first test.

Idaho’s population is not enough for any serious provider or computer connection service to invest serious cash into improving home bound Internet that is better and a 4 second reaction time Internet . But hey Cable-One claims 50 meg speed, bullsbreath. Yet I paid for 50 meg speed. Maybe Cable One ought to refund my account the price of a 20 meg connection, since that’s purtty much what I got on good days. Or why does Cable One bark 50 meg speed , when even their techs here in Burley says that ain’t possible here? My Dad said don’t advertise something ya’ll ain’t got for sale.

If I held my breath for that refund, I’d turn blue b4 I ever got it. But hey I’ve been wrong b4, might be again, but I seriously doubt it. PMT here in Mini Cassia ain’t much better. Just to be fair, your lucky if you get a 10 meg connection with PMT.

Its not just computers, Idaho is still going backwards and technological advancements will not show up here . It’s a simple fact the old farts that live here don’t want to pay for it. And the youth, go to Boise or Salt Lake, and that’s why you see things a bit better there than in Mini Cassia.

But we here in the Knytes-of-Anarchy keep fighting to get ya’ll what others cain’t. Remember out of Anarchy, comes order.

More Monday.

I owe my life to go go boots nylons and legs

An old folk song said it best, there’s got to be a Morning After. Sure enough there is. After going all night through early morning untethered to the Internet, finally got online. Course missed being able to do HazzardAyre radio last night so will make up for it on this coming Saturday.

When it comes to coincidences I don’t think there really are coincidences.

After all who would have thought that two people from two different geographic parts of the Union would have become not only such good friends but resembled in so many ways each other?

In February of 1981 after missing the Salt Lake City AutoRama with the General Jackson, it was determined that by hell or high water that our shop would have ye ole General Jackson at the 1981 AutoRama. In that year a popular movie was playing called the HollyWood Knights, that starred Robert Wuhl, Fran Dressler , Tony Danza amongst others. In that movie it showed the car hops at Tubby’s Drive In , wearing white vinyl zipper up the side go-go boots rather than the roller skates that was on American Graffiti . So in our infinite wisdom, our crew set out to find white go-go boots. At that point in history , go-go boots of the style were out of fashion and the few being sold were sold to drill teams and cheerleading squads of high schools. Who wore these? Twin Falls High School was the first, nothing, Burley High School, nothing, until a gal at Burley High said East Minco Junior High wore them. Of course they didn’t have, but what I discovered on this trip, was an aging 1970 Dodge Charger. Now to the uninformed the 1970 Dodge Charger and the 1969 Dodge Charger had only two minor differences. One was a small partition in the grill of the 69, where as the 1970 Dodge Charger was retrofitted with the grill from the 1968 Dodge Charger which meant the small partition was not in the grill of the 1970 model. The second difference between the 1970 and 69 was the 69 had the ignition switch in the dashboard, where as the 1970 model had the ignition key in the steering column. Outside of that the two cars are identical. With the unloading of $1,500.00 a restyled poor attempt at a Gen Lee was on its way to Hagerman, a rebuild and into the Salt Lake City AutoRama we went, the rest as they say is history.

Now then on that trip to the SLC Autorama, it was about the second night awake in a hotel room, I finally came to the conclusion that neither I nor Bro looked anything like Bo or Luke Duke. But I did bear a striking resemblance to Ben Jones aka Cooter. Like Cooter, I drove a tow truck at a rural hot rod shop where the General Lee was always parked.

So I made a call to the producers of the Dukes asked if I could duplicate the image, and so on, and in mid 1982 the official off TV real-to-life Hazzard County Garage was opened. Shortly after that the club came to be and you know the club today as the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

Over the years I have came to know many of the cast and off screen people of that show. But what really stuck was when in March of 1983 I wrote Paul Picard and told him the news of the passing of my mom. Daisy Duke, gave me a call, and asked if there was anything they could do? I replied, it would be nice if the cast or some of the cast would at least be at Mom’s funeral. Not only did she show up but just about all the cast except for James Best and Tom Wopat showed up. The other two had previous engagements but sent flowers. But for a big time California TV show to attend a fan and followers Mom’s funeral, placed the true feelings that the Dukes were more than a TV show , but a way of life. Which is why I have always been so dedicated to all things Hazzard and Knytes.

As I leave you here are two pics , me and Cooter and Ben(Cooter ) and wife Alma and Daisy, and me and Ellie May our Nurse GoodBody, see the resemblance?

As I close , I want to say, no one on earth could have as good a friends as I have with the entire cast of the Dukes-of-Hazzard and why I will not rest until the day , I can produce a fitting movie of the Dukes of today.  Likewise , keeping the fire of Hazzard County burning. The Dukes Of Hazzard will live until Jesus comes. Maybe beyond.

Keep it tween the ditches.
