HazzardAyre

Friendship and love are great, but at the end of the day it’s a business that needs employees.

Its one thing to have friends and have those friends work for you. But at the end of the day, it’s a business that needs employees. If one can’t take the job then it be needed to find those that are ready and able to work.

In bikers worlds, a prospect is just that a prospect, which is short for prospective member of a club. In much the same way the Knytes-of-Anarchy does the same thing with new hires. People sign on, are given mundane as well as difficult tasks, if they complete them, show up at meetings or when called , they get to be full time employees.

If one is sitting with next to zero in money, a job that pays a fairly easy $6,k a month or better is better than that zero. Lets face it state welfare, EBT or SNAP funds and that measly $50.00 a month only go so far. If you add that together with a few hundred bucks say the $710 from Social Security and so on, after one pays rent , ain’t much if anything left.

I know , I am in that boat sort of. My relief comes from having three business’s that are managed through the club so I keep my benefits, but I get $50.00 out of every $100.00 the club makes. So I’m okay. That along with what extra Charley gives me, from doing odd calls and jobs with A1. That said.

The idea of HazzardAyre is not new, we have been on air and operational since 1975, I’ll be damn if I’m loosing that.

So I have to revert back to operations before placing ads on CraigsList, and do 80% of what it needs to be, by myself and with what foot work members of the club can do. That said at the end of the day, I’m not going to just sit and wait.

The employees will come .

I have my best 3, although two are shaky. One’s sister might be the best choice as she’s all business.

I once thought, if it’s a job, that requires OJT(On the job Training) shouldn’t the prospective employee pay the employer to train them. If one is putting up money, they’re much more ambitious in seeing it through.

As such , I’m doing the same thing.

The Knytes-of-Anarchy at our officers meeting this morning decided all new prospect employees will pay to the club $75.00 a month. If they complete the training and prove themselves to the club and HazzardAyre, they get that back in a monthly bonus in their paycheck. If not, the club keeps that money we shake hands and part ways. That way the time I spend training is not time and my money wasted.

Two of our people one being my best one has been put on suspension until she works out her personal problems, the other until she figures out she’s good with the program, and gets over being sick. The sister, well we see what shakes. I’m not holding my breath.

I put going over to Burley on hold all week last week, where I could have been working on my trucks and being better equipped for running in the snow. As it is I have started seeing my bills slightly inched over my income. This is not good. You hire people to do a job to make more money , not loose it.

All factors and experts will tell you, each person you hire for a job, will cost a company $5,k at least. If you loose any more than that and your prospective employee does not produce, is not on time not able to be at the office, its best to revert operations to what they were before you hired them, and bid that prospective employee adios .

With a serious maybe in the future rehire.

But at the end of the day it’s nice to have a friend that’s a employee, but again at the end of the day this is a business and I’m the boss and its just business.

In the words of Commander Spock, The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.

The needs of the club outweigh the needs of a few girls and even me. My decisions are based on what the club and its enterprises needs , not just me, or Dixie Toewing.

Anybody got a $20.00 for gas?

So I wake up to the sounds of a call from Jenna, and hear her guy pal, tickling her clitty under the phone, as she talked watching cartoons, bullstuff, he’s watch nipples bounce.

So then get off the phone and try to call Charley for fuel, still over in my old area. Funny, ain’t it. I move over here, Charley goes over there, so then Jared jumps my ass on the phone, and its like, I forgot this number was reassigned to you and I’ll try Charley on his number, which goes to voice mail.

I know I’ll get fuel eventually, and I know all is well, but a serious discussion of protocol, and procedure between big C , me, and Jared is indeed needed. But you’d think Jared would have said, tell ya what Pat, I’ll bum you a $20.00 , get some gas ya’ll pay back on Tuesday when you get your money from my Dad. If it was in the reverse or other way around that’s what I’d do.

So sit here waiting on a few of the gals for a conference , then try and get in touch with Charley after 3:00 or so.

If there ever was a time for re-examination of this Twin Falls from Burley move, and all. I can truly say, I’m doing it, and why I’ll be damned if I’m dumping the shop, in Burley. If nothing more than a place to retreat to if this Twin Falls gig and all that makes it up goes sour.

Talk at ya’ll later

Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.

Sometimes its not personal, but its just business

Sometimes your stuck in the middle of trying really hard to be patient and understanding and being a boss and a company officer. In this case a club officer.

When these things you feel sad, but you know for the greater good, ya gotta say sorry call us maybe in the future but only if your serious.

As you know as reported earlier , I pulled the ads on model and talent searches from CraigsList. Out of a half dozen inquiries , we found three that have the dedication to stick out their necks to get involved. Two others are sitting on the fence , the last, that kept me waiting for an entire day without even as much as a phone call bowed out. Okay no problem. One gets put in the cross bar motel, but no further communication, still wondering, but I’m not in a big rush there. One did a quick stop and high earlier, bet is she wont come back.

These kinds of people in a different corral or industry , say as innovators that brought Facebook to light, wouldn’t have been appreciative or impressed either. Of course that’s California, but working from inside duplex, much of the time sleeping on the floor, and living as a frat house, a great creation came about.

Is HazzardAyre Radio the next big thing? Can it even be done in Twin Falls. While I can’t answer that as far as the next BIG thing, I can say that for 35 years HazzardAyre Radio, has been the only syndicated and small market low power radio station in the Mountain West that has championed radical, rebel , fight the system and snub the LDS church and all biases radio station.

With nearly radio stations across the nation one even in Alaska running our taped syndicated edition, HazzardAyre is thee radio station and radio program. To describe our programming in a nut shell is a bit of WolfMan Jack, Doctor Demento, Howard Stern done Hazzard style. That may be a bit too simplistic but that’s a good short description.

We keep all the truckers, toewers, and gearheads out there entertained and informed. We keep Dukes-of-Hazzard fans in gear and loving their rebel spirit, we preach the gospel of the Confederate States of America and today’s Southern Movement. And we have been doing that since 1976.

Every year we run countless ads in fan and gearhead style publications. This requires putting hot female bodies in in good taste in front of rods and rides, and a talent search is the task. In those tasks we hardly expect the kinds of turn outs today as we had when we started them back down in Hazzard in the mid 1970’s mid 1980’s.

Why a gal and guy on air? Simple it sounds good, proven more than once and the best example, Howard Stern and Robin Quivers. Howard may be good, but Robin makes that outfit pop. Added to that a dedicated production team, and that’s why Stern’s show commands the big bucks, yet Stern really ain’t no real good looker, he has had every hottie in and off Hollywood on his show.

That in Idaho? Maybe , but it still can work . Does work. My best trainee is a reporter now on CNN, but she came in, one hot afternoon into a studio in not much more than a broom closet , and see what happened.

Had another in Gooding before that collapse due to greed by a real estate dude, but still Erin walks in and we had our arms wrapped around something hot. Too bad enough did not stick around long enough to see the harvest, much less the cultivation. But hey their loss, many haven’t done well since.

But no matter how great someone looks in a mini portfolio, its not until I see and hear them in person, until I see if they have the moxy through simple tests like the toe/tow flirt kiss, its not until I have them act out a on air bit, do I know they have the IT factor I’m looking for. And while the network and all is on paper and employees paid by the club, still HazzardAyre and the mini station now carrying it and our super station going on air in October , HazzardAyre is my baby. This mini media empire I breathed life into, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to hold the damn door open forever, for women that their crap don’t stink and that their whatever is in danger.

Looking at our targeted audience, is 80% on the edge fringe people, they live life fast and hard. They love fast trucks, trick rat rods, hot bikes, warbirds, wyld toew trucks, fast women and southern food. They look for the same ingredients in their entertainment, and on their radio’s IPODS, and soon to air, satellite radio. That’s right a XM/Sirius channel has been offered for us and we are taking it. But not without the right staff with the right stuff/.

So for all those kicking the tires, time to get off the fence or forget it. One of my gals today put ads in local publications and will be conducting the talent search from here on out. I will only be there for the moxy test and final interview. The rest she will do. I’m greatly impressed by both Helen and her sister.

The courtship is over, its time for heavy breathing and breeding sort of, to give birth to an even more powerful HazzardAyre.

HazzardAyre is southern fried radio in the Mountain West.

The GM 2.8 190 cid V6 a forgotten champion

If your into bow tie rides, over the last 10 or so years the 2.8 V6 GM was a great champion. While out of the box, some slight mods get this little beast some serious movement.

I have had two of them, one in a 83 S-dime that was a 4X4 with a slushbox. Problem was the 400 r tranny kept the 2.8 from gaining enough rpm’s to get out of 3rd into a much more potent power band. However in the 4X4 mode, it had just the right torque curve to crawl over some serious terrain. I wouldn’t say the 2.8 is the best engine built at GM, for that the near bullet proof 454 big block is my prize. But In Sylver Myst, that 2.8 performs under some really hard conditions.

The real bummer of the 2.8 V6 is the difficulty of R & R’ing the rear main seal. While its best known that essentially the 2.8 is a GM small block cut off of two cylinders, a small block V-8 is easier to repair that seal. But even though leaking oil, the little 2.8, when needed has always got it done, and with plenty of might. And considering that condition, and the fact mine has nearly 300,000 miles on it, should be a good testimony of the 2.8’s durability, and longevity.

That all in mind, look at any performance catalog, Jegs, Summit any of them, you will not see any real great muscle parts for the 2.8 V6. Oh you’ll see plugs, thermostats etc, but no serious muscle parts.

Headman Hedders makes exhaust parts, but that’s about all.

I’m in search of a serviceable 2.8, V-6 to do some serious building on. Bored open 030 over, valves, roller chain etc, and watch some ass kicking done by an engine GM and most gearheads have discounted for years. Pioneering here? Nuts? Maybe, but then there were those who told me that performance diesel was a fantasy as well. Look whose laughing now?

Testing toes and feet in nylon hose for our models FYI, so be prepped.

Why that? , In my next entry.

As I close want to let you know, with weather and the season, the Knyte’s regular meeting will be next Saturday, at Ziggy’s in Bliss.

Making the deal on the bar and studio office, on Wednesday or so, will report on that next week.

Still need Helen’s sister to call, before meeting Saturday at 1:00PM.

Another day another FRriday

Here it is a freaky Friday in our Hazzard County. Charley is off doing a clean up, left town without giving somebody the key to the yard or gas can, so I sit dry on gas, and only by luck picked a ride with one of the club members to go snag the prescrips.

Jenn is off doing what she’s doing what ever that is, another is dealing with a domestic crisis and so I do as I always do prep AyreWolf FM/ HazzardAyre radio myself.

Yesterday was a real bitch, the Interstate from mile stick 190, to 208 I-84 eastbound was plugged tighter than the toilet after LuLu Hogg’s dinner party. I mean rigs and rides scattered ever which way.

Pulled most of our ads from CraigsList, seems as though hunting for onair talent does not meet with the TOS standards, so I said piss on em. Although could not find a clear path to remove my CraigsList account all together. Not saying I didn’t gather some good new hires, but does CraigsList need to be so damn picky? Especially when I can furnish a tax number that verifies us?

What do they think, this is recruitment to start a brothel in Idaho? Not that, I haven’t thought of it.

Jenn, one of my new hire interns who still needs to come over to do paper work, said yesterday in the car, what we need in the new Reaper Club is poles for strippers. I told her I have enough trouble finding models to dress properly and on air let alone strippers for an aviators/bikers bar/café.

Am waiting for one who was supposed to surface yesterday at 18:00 (6:00PM) but didn’t. We see.

As it sits, those who sit on the can only shyt , as like my mom used to say, the best way to get on your feet is to get off your butt.

I again fully understand, that there are the crazy guys out there doing serious atrocities to women under the disguise of a model job. I fully understand CraigsList is most likely does not have the best reputation, considering some not too distant things of prostitutes, and so on. I understand that, but I caught this line of an outfit in Idaho Falls about a place called BareNessessities okay great, does that mean if we set this up in Idaho Falls we’d have better luck? I mean the LDS thing exists up there as bad as here. I remember in Rigby, it was like pulling hens teeth, so that’s no excuse.

The quarters there in Rigby were not as good as they are here. The only difference was I resided in a shop there that served as a great front. Problem is the place was ridden with mice. Plus the landlord moved someone in that did the same thing we did and why try to compete with someone in the same complex? Then of course there was finding out the homestead just outside of Hazzard was again available, so moved over here. Got tired of trying to gain traction here then moved to Utah, and the rest most of ya’ll know.

The bottom line, the crew is coming together now, I have three that I most of the time can count on. Jenn, Helen and her sister. Any body else had better get in gear if they want to even be part of HazzardAyre.

Plus from those who put it off, I don’t want to hear four or five months from now, I wish I had came over and applied, and be pissed at me, because now thinking that their safety or virtue, which would be difficult to find still intact any way, was in danger, or threatened. My three gals now will tell anyone that asks, the only squirrely thing to an interview is looking at toes in hose, details are obvious for those who read the blogs here.

Oh sure I hug Helen as she’s my honey, and I’m proud of that, but she’s friend first employee second , honey when needed.

Wasn’t intended , just how it happened and , all her things on this domestic gig? No other boss or employer would engage that, but I do because I care.

Danger no.

Any way, taking it easy, could use a massage girls, body aches from yesterday, out on the big road.

For your entertainment>>>>>> and ya’ll thought you had a busy day yesterday.

The hurrier I go the behinder I get

I trended to this earlier, but a few have asked what else I have predicted and warned about that came to pass that ultimately kicked this nations ass.

Year 1999, George Bush Jr. Runs for President taking the job from our confederate brother Bill Clinton, whose only crime was getting a bit of sugar on the side, with an intern.

Even back then , I told you if Bush is elected that the nation would go into a spiral of depression on the economic front, that some foreign power would threaten our domestic tranquility, and that in the end we’d all get in the end.

Even back then I said VOTE CONFEDERATE, no one listened. What happens, Bush is put in, the economy takes a nose dive. Lenders , lend property loans to not so always worthy, barrowers , and the mortgage fiasco. Shortly after election, what happens? Osama Binladen invades our nation. Kicks the crap of NYC, and changes the attitudes of way too many Americans. The Hazzard Nation was saddened, but decided to say we still in Hazzard County tradition to fight the system, and not back down from our dreams and aspirations.

The year ? 2008, Obama is running for President, Bush is praying for another shot, and away we went. I sat in the Glenn’s Ferry studio and wrote, broadcasted and again wrote, VOTE CONFEDERATE, again nobody listened. The only positive thing Obama does in the first six months is give an all too long COLA to Social Security, beneficiaries, and we supposedly a economic boost. Except if you owed back child support, then the state walks in and snatches that up without a damn warning.

Over the next years, while the economy plunges, Hazzard Nation including the Knytes-of-Anarchy benefits, we gain all too much prosperity, and relinquish bad memories. We did live, and we damn well prospered. Its called Hazzard County Enginuity.

It comes down to simply, the Hazzard Nation speaks, and its spoken in part by me and is always spoken more importantly over the airwaves of HazzardAyre Radio and written here in HazzardAyre.

2012 was the end of CMT running the Dukes on TV, but the Knytes-of-Anarchy is working with RFDTV to put the Dukes back on there. August 2012 , Mattel toys, through the stupid decision of Warner Brothers says they’re pulling the rebel flag off of toys of the General Lee and other Hazzard County toys. Alma, Cooter’ wife sounds the alarm, Hazzard Nation screams. Know what? The flag stayed, Warner Brothers apologized.

An old song by Charley Daniels Band says it best, “ What this Country Needs is a few more rednecks, its more like Appalachian Americans. More over this country needs a lot more Hazzard Nation and less Justified.

More this afternoon. Drive careful Snow might have came to the western Hazzard Nation, but its really here.

Some people learn too late to take the Wolf’s advice

Some people learn too late then decide to come back into our Wolf-Pack.

Example, one of our new hire models and the one who could be personal SheWolf , decided to slide us off, in defense of a troubled marriage. Albeit with 6 kids, and all.

Told Helena , hey sweet heart ya’ll can move in with the old Wolf. She decided not to, but hey too, her current guy that she’s divorcing, gets physical. I mean first causes stress where she has a miscarriage, and then Christmas bears the crap out of her. Thing is days before I said move in, maybe its not the Wolf she needed to fear here.

There are many like this, when the AyreWolvez, The Knytes-of-Anarchy and me opens doors, one should not ignore or snore, but get on their feet , by getting off their butts and doing something called Trust. Trust me when I say something.

Despite the handle we have the lights the candle for and of the club, we don’t duplicate SAMCRO MC in everything . We are more Dukes of Hazzard, more racy and clean than mean. got a grip on that?

Sure we love to show hot legs on our visual gigs, but you’ll never , ever see full blown nudity. You’ll see tight fitting bike leather, flight suits and such , however you’ll never ever see a full bare butt, and never fully exposed breasts.

Sure you might hear me say Frack or shyt, but you’ll never hear me say the lords name in vane, you’ll never hear me being blasphemous ever. And yet there are those arrogant and ignorant folks out there that just think they know us.

Fact is this damn areas prosperity was in part created by our brotherhood of gearheads, and yet the Times News. KMVT, KSAW, KTVB and such completely put their thumbs up, quite frankly I’m tyred of it. Heck there are gifts that I personally and that my family has gave to this valley from the jet that sits at the front gate of the Burley Airport, to a stolen Caterpillar 10 tractor that sits atop a pole the other side of Hazzard, I’m thinking of going for retribution, and repayment. What’d ya think would happen if one night I took the rotator out and a huge flatbed and repoed that Jet in Burley or the Cat-10 near Hazzard. Pay up ya’ll can have it back. I wont of course since it’d sour the milk here even more, but I damn well say I haven’t thought of it.

And what about KMVT? I have never ever been repaid the money I gave them for ads. That never ran. This was under the former boss, and when Latham Motors Dodge was still in business here. I was over here, gave the account rep $1,500.00 , in cash I know stupid, however all of a Sudden they had a LATHUM EMERGENCY, the ads never ran, I never recouped my money, and I shouldn’t be bitter, HEY KMVT, pony up.

Should the club start asking for favors to be returned? Some days I think so. Quite frankly, if Charley was not managing our money, here and requiring me to be in twin Falls, I’d be staring down the valleys of either Boise or Salt Lake City.

And what about the old Latham Motors complex? Can you say an AyreWolf buy?

The fact is, so many people judge that what they should not judge on the surface what seems evil, when under the water we are quite docile. So many people ought not judge and not follow through on meetings, interviews etc just because things are done in someone’s house. Shyt, MArk Zuckerburg created Facebook inside a duplex. Only thing he had that we don’t is a swimming pool. Like I said way too many learn too late to take the Wolf’s age old advice, then come crying back to re-enter the Wolf – Pack.

In this instance its not the big bad wolvez that little red ridding hood should worry about.

Heavy snow over night, predications are for more Thursday into early Friday morning. This storm will taper off by mid day Saturday, with increasing clouds Sunday and another storm rolling in Wednesday next week.

Temps through the period will range from zero to mid teens low 20’s, Highs 30’s to upper 40’s. Visibility for flying is IFR only, VFR is down to just a few feet.

I’m in bed until mid day, as early morning its going toewing with all this snowing.
