The 30 Day Challenge

As it was said on the Dukes, when Enos went to California to be LAPD’s top detective, is any place ready for this. After all field training in Hazzard can be Well HAZZARDOUS  after all few places are like Hazzard.

Here in our area of Idaho we are somewhat blessed, with a town that so mirrors the Hazzard we saw on TV that Hagerman Idaho, became Hazzard at least in image and nick name. Might have been why the Knytes was founded there, likewise where the Hazzard County Garage, at least the real Hazzard County Garage was founded.

But I’m veering off the subject road here.

There’s a call, from our Pastor asking for more involvement of the congregation into church ministries. No problem, but question is, is the church ready for the challenge of us from Hazzard?

I don’t know how many times I have put myself out there asking for opportunities to serve. After all, Jesus said in Mathew, “ Never ask to be served, but how you can serve”. But I get the , we’ll get ahold of you brush off. Guess Hazzard County tenacity gets to some of these Yankees.

Its fair to say, that Hazzard-ites are more than just you run of the wool confederates. We’re a lot more fight the system, aggressive than many are. We see a need or opportunity we go after it, and make it happen, even though the revenuers and others say, can’t be done, or shouldn’t be done. Perhaps its God through the power of Hazzard giving us the shove in the back and bur under our saddles to do this and that. Yes you have to get that with this, they are a set, no unpackaging them. It’ll take a few hours for Yankee’s to figure that one out.

For all the things you saw on TV, for all the story lines and Hollywood, the Knytes-of-Anarchy originally the Hazzard County Knytes, are Hazzard County. After all Hazzard County is not just a place or location or coffee stop, Hazzard County is a place in the heart and soul and those of us who allowed Hazzard County to infect us, we are much better off. We believe in the sayings of, Just because it ain’t , don’t mean it can’t. Or instead of asking why, ask why not? Instead of asking why here? Why not here? Again I detoured.

It was those memories of things Hazzard County and those Duke Boys, that kept me sane in both Iraq during my two tours there with the 214, that also kept me on track in Afghanistan . Something would face me, and I’d ask what would Bo & Luke do? Or how would Enos deal with this? All too many times it was Hazzard County that helped me keep it together, when a buddy would get blasted by an IED . Some might ask how our squadron identified with the Dukes-of-Hazzard. The same person who played Boss Hogg, also played the preacher on Black Sheep Squadron, the TV drama, written by founder Greg Boyington, aka Pappy. More over here are things to think of. The CB handle of the Dukes, was the Black Sheep. Uncle Jessie on the cb was Shepherd , Daisy was BO PEEP. More over Luke Duke was a properly discharged Marine. Accident? I don’t think so.

The one TV show that we could get often on Armed Forces TV was the Dukes.

The results are that in many ways, the nick name of the Knytes-of-Anarchy is the Confederate Marines. Keeping that legend alive and teaching those no knowing what it really is about to be Confederate. Brining them awareness of Dixie Broadcasting online, and rebroadcasting same here over the air with our Hazzard County enhancements, on HazzardAyre Radio. Its just like I get asked about the reason behind the gold wings in many of our hedders and graphics, on this blog etc. The Knytes-of-Anarchy, as well as sister group the AyreWolvez are discharged aka reassigned, USMC/NAVY Pilots(aviators) , we love our Dukes and just as the General Lee, we love to fly. So golden wings are part of us. Its like the adage of many mc’s , if you don’t ride you’ll never understand, in us, if your not a Hazzard County fan, you’d never understand.

So to our friends at The River Christian Fellowship, you gave the challenge to us to serve, now the question is , are you ready for the challenge of Hazzard County? Are you ready to accept the Knytes-of-Anarchy, remember out of anarchy comes order.

Any mile its Sunday, need feed, and sleep. Tune in tonight to HazzardAyre Radio.

After the Show PhooteNotes

Well one more HazzardAyre show in the can as they say. Last nights edition wasn’t too bad, tried to get up on air myself, but tech problems with our link to YouTube kept fuggling up, so seemed as just when I wanted to speak something would trip up, so couldn’t yap as much.

Then got cotton dry mouth so bad my tung felt like sandpaper, so when I dared , fled to the shed to grab some Simply Lemonade and occasionally hit the head. What it’d be like to have a program aid in studio. I’d give that job to just not everyone, but just anyone that had the Hazzard look, and could finish my sentences before I do. Or at least could fetch liquid during the show. Ah for the days of bigger town radio.

Seems as some fence mending is going on with Mirinda and I, so I reupped her in the club, see what goes.

Church in the morning so I’m off to bed>> Thinking of doing lunch a Lotza Burger in Tweaker Flatts in the afternoon.

Now let’s see if I pee the bed, during sleep tonight.

Seems lately that’s been a slight problem. Maybe be something to do with all too much 100 mile sea while on air, and soda during show prep. Again what’d be like to have a Production Assistant. Maybe this summer.

Here’s an idea , technology that works with and helps people, not replace them.

Here’s an idea, lets advance technology to where it helps people and makes work easier, rather than replace people. Of course too, there those people who believe in having to just push buttons. Reminds me of the Pixar movie wall-E where in the mothership everbody was as fat as a beached whale, trying to walk again. But that’s a subject for a different time. Thing is there’s too much automation. Consider the online screeners to post comments on some newspapers web sites on a story. One has to go to Desquis or some such. If you registered, you have to leave the story, log on, then post the comment. That is if you remember what the hell you were going to write or say in the first place. Here’s an idea, lets put some unemployed lazy butts to work, have some of these fat cows, sit there and screen comments. A LIVE person there, not some computer bot.

Might cut down on the hand outs, increase real productivity, put some money in the pockets of Americans and cure some of this so called Debt this nation is in.

Read a thing online about some big doings in Holbrook. I told ya’ll years ago and it panned out something stunk in that town, and it ain’t because of backed up sewers. I said then that there needed to be a cop from either Malad, or American Falls that patrolled that area regularly, More over lived there. Jan and I looked at setting up house there once. Thinking that was a good jump off for Lexibelle to service Utah, but enjoy the relaxed toew regs of Idaho . I smelled something goofy, about the goings on there, to many a Oneida County Sheriff deputy, as well as Power County. They ignored it and now three people are dead.

Makes ya’ll wonder does Cassia County or ISP, have anyone that actively patrols Strevell? I know local government money is tight anymore. Tax money is low, as people exit Idaho, like bees out of a hive after spraying model paint on the hive(Don’t laugh I did that once) but the reason Idaho is loosing people, is people want to be where jobs are, and areas where despite being 100 years behind, caught up and was conquered, and life improved. Utah is one of those places, Idaho could be too, we just need to get us going there.

Where Computers and technology help and enhance people, not replace them.

After all if a tiny mc/hot rod club based on the Dukes-of-Hazzard, can have a live, 365 /24 7 membership assistance line, so can the rest of the area as well as the nation.

Did you notice? KMVT no longer has a streaming TV newscast. Except for access for android, and smart phones, etc. Ya’ll cain’t just click on and watch. This is nothing new. Many Radio and TV stations are doing away with streaming. Idea is they can’t interject commercials or can’t sell interjection. Thank goodness you still and always will have HazzardAyre.

Question , are we the only ones still doing it right? If so why is that the dead beats in this town wont get off their rumpuss’ and train through Hazzard County University.

But lets get technology and computers and all to help and aid people, not replace them.

My thoughts, I could be wrong.

Feel the Power

I still want to know who names the fonts we use on our computers. Just like I’d love to know who the gal is whose voice is used or patterned after that is on all those computerized self checkouts at Smiths Food stores. Ya’ll gotta know she’s making billion dollars a year, with the royalties from every time, she says, “ Welcome Valuable Smiths Customer, please scan your first item or choose an option below” After she says, Thank you for shopping with us. Would ya’ll like to know who she is?

Okay then. Wuzz up at the station? We got the news from our contractors in Buhl, that we needed to replace most of the pipes in the building. There was a slight gusher in there with one pipe that broke. Thankfully no transmitter or such damage but it came close. Winter was not too kind. So we have a contractor doing that, should be done mid month May. Then its finish electrical the full on decorating. Which will be a mix of Confederate Southern art, for us here on KDXB. We sold our call letters KTOW to a station in Colorado to raise money for the station. All so sad, but hey KDOH will replace our AM’s call letters here.

What else is up? Still looking for sweet hiney for the web site as well as visual ads on national TV. Still leaning to hiring out of state from an agency, but thought is, why not scratch around the area and see one last time what can be found. Piss on those who can’t understand.

Of course this does not mean that a search for on air people wont be upcoming, but from the disaster in December, the club is looking at doing up a job fair at CSI, to get some folks wet in anticipation, of what jobs that Confederate Star Media and HazzardAyre Network, has to offer. Then choose from there.

I must inquire though, if a gal goes into a bar, to apply for a cocktail server, and she’s flat but fugdugly, how do they decline her application due to her being too fat and well like I said fugdugly? Is there then grounds for a discrimination suit? Or is there a business method of dismissing someone for not meeting the eye candy requirement? Since that is what we’ll have to do. Which brings me to a question that is posed to me all the time. Since we do radio, why should looks be important. First to answer that question, HazzardAyre Radio, running LIVE, is also on TV at the same time. Thus visual honey is required, and two, albeit I am not MR GQ, still in a closed in studio, doing 6 hours of solid radio for 5 days a week, that female co host better be at least somewhat better looking. Even though most of us males in the operation look like Klingons still , the female unlike other species has to look good. Plus at a remote, would you want your live announcer looking like a garbage can? If you think I’m the only one employing these tactics examine any religious broadcast on Sunday morning. See how many times the camera guy in that chapel, singles out the honeys in the audience as opposed to the plump ones. Even the area beloved Mormons, if you see a broadcast be it conference or Music and the Spoken Word, when they show the members of the choir, watch and count the ratio, between the times they show the good looking female members of that choir especially the young and near available as opposed to the plump ones.

Finally, HazzardAyre is doing up a Calendar Girl thing, for HazzardAyre Radio and The Knytes, in July. Location is where you think, those wanting to enter sign up at Anchors or on line. Hey we tried to get the Klover Klub and others to participate, none would.

Watch for news too, of the Reaper opening this October.

That’s the news from the hq of HazzardAyre.

How about a donation for us?

Since I have been having this squabble with Cable One, I have been watching Over the Air TV or OTA TV.

There are only two local analog signals in our area, one is the NRB NETWORK. that has good church Jesus based programming, most of which I really enjoy. Can’t have enough self enriching Jesus teaching. What gets to me is at the end of most shows , especially those with a preacher, there is the request for funds to keep whatever show going.

Okay fine, I understand that TV air time is not free. However here’s my rub. For 35 years now Both HazzardAyre and before it Dixie Diesel Radio/TV has never ever asked for one red cent, from its listeners or viewers, to keep us on the air. Never. We do our gig, run the network, and keep things on air ourselves from our own rather shallow pockets.

But perhaps we should begin to ask for donations. The network should do exit announcements asking those who enjoy our southern rebel Christian radio and TV, for donations. Hey for those not members of the Knytes-of-Anarchy or the AyreWolvez , this would be a way our audience could be part of our ministry.

Yes friends it is coming to that.

To follow up on a comment or two about Mirinda in Gooding and her racing efforts.  Perhaps the ice be melting. I’ll get into it after my show this evening, but there might be a point here to doing some fence mending.

Any way going back to watching ParablesTV.

Does anyone really check their e mail? And why do they want me to be their friend on Facebook?

I always wonder as to just how many people truly check their email. Oh you can see people checking their smart phones for Facebook updates, but do they really read or go to the links and read the content? Do they absorb it, more over research the contents? Some how I don’t think so.

Of course with me there has to be some Shazzam that gets me to click on a link, and then only by someone who I like or know purtty good. If it ain’t somebody I know offline, or have some sense of knowledghe of, I ain’t clicking.

Then I see that the Klover Klub wants to be my friend. Really? Last time I went into the Klover Klub, it was down here on main, some gal who had a voice, that I wanted to send a demo of to a leading Kountry radio personality who helped on creation of Blue and a few others, but in the end was shit canned out of the Kloover Klub, and ain’t been back since. Don’t plan on it either.

While Twin Falls is moving a good pace in advancement in some areas, still traditions or places the club as well as myself was loyal to, I ain’t much. Just like Anchors, who I understand is going under new managers. Or at least owners. I’m weening away from the place awaiting for the Reaper to open , then maybe, but until. Naw ain’t so doing.

Of course we know who works at the Klover and why they want to be friends, I ain’t biting.

The issue of the foot smooch came up again yesterday so once again, I’m going to try and get this through some rather anal retentive heads.

Back when the Hazzard County Garage was opened in downtown Hagerman, aka Hazzard Idaho, myself and Bro, were on a fact finding mission in Ogden Utah. I opened a phone book, to find the number of an old toew Bro of mine. The Star Garage of Eden Utah(yes there is one) had the tag in its Yellow Pages ad, we don’t want your arms and legs, just your tows.

To the mere idiotic, the true word TOW sounds too much like the word COW to many not indoctrinated. So an idea struck, since all too many thing Hazzard was about Daisy and her legs, thought went at the end of a TV ad , good old me would gingerly kiss the gals toe like the Prince putting on Cinderella’s glass slipper. The ad was flavored by an ad I saw on TV from a plumber in Boise, who responded to the plumbing problems of some rich starlet in Boise on the upper east side(snob hill) where he unplugged her toilet. At the end of the ad , he kissed her hand as she held the wine gobblet, and the tag went, at Boise Plumbing we treat all our customers like Royalty. The idea melded together and is why I cast that about every 5 or so years to keep it fresh.

However it is not a sexual advance although many think so, or a sexual fantasy of mine to be kissing a stinky foot or toe. Now then to add to this extravaganza here. Emme Lou a gal that got me going to Anchors since she worked there, when we had the radio studios in Gooding, said why not smoosh the two words toe and tow together? Spelling it toew which leaves little doubt as to pronounciation.

Now the reason, I bring this up, is since Big C’s wife and all too many of A1’s crew have teased me about this, is ludicrus. For some odd unknown reason, all too many get the idea of this being something of a turn on or fetish of mine. It isn’t. However to add salt to this, the only reason, I cast this in other areas of the station personality interviews is simple, any gal who has an open mind enough, that without much if any request can drop a shoe and stick her foot inmy face, is someone that would not blush, or shrivel up in fright about anything goofy we do on air, or if she had to dress in a costume, like I did when KLIX had the KLIX Clucker aka abig chicken like big bird on Seseme Street. Hey I dressed up in that sweaty suit, made $100.00 and had a blast, but then I’m more daring that others, but I degress getting off course here.

If a gal can do the toew smooch on first request if requested at all, just from reading a blog entry, then she’s got the right stuff. Not for giving me a stiffy or creating a wet dream.

So I hope that clears that up like Stridex clears up zits.

Any mile, I’m off to bed, but to Klover Klub, I ain’t biting.

L8R Ya’ll

Finally back on HazzardAyre

Finally getting back online. So what did we learn in the short hiatus?

One, innocence is only skin deep and surface candy, underneath ya’ll might find a scorpion. Example, and don’t know for sure , but information I got is that our darling from Filer that said she was so into the HazzardAyre Radio project was really a snoop for Big C’s better half. Seems what I sent our Angel, was then being resent to Jenn. Oh really? Looking back I should have just said send in the fuzz, there’s all too many ways of proving all, so what the hay? There are people who are not 40 plus years residents of our valley, who have little to no idea of the Knytes. Too bad, but too, the Knytes wrote all too many books on valley progress and brought much of it about. So what goes on?

The Knytes are kicking in gear another talent search, after all still need some eye candy for the web site, as well as occasional on air sidekick fill in. However even if I had a hankering to hire more, I’d no more hire just what is needed to cover 2 on air shifts and sales people. Outside of that we hire within the club, not outside of it.

Okay then, got an email from Sonny Shroyers publicist. Which is cool, in its origin. The question was why all things Hazzard encapsulated me as it did and remains so. For me DOH, brought to me a sense of family. The stars on that show considered their fans as family or at least close friends. Not just viewers. The Dukes cast always answered fan mail, much of the time themselves, not some staffer who sent out form letters and an 8X10 glossy.

Now looking back unlike many would have and only one other show has done this. But when I called on the phone Warner Brothers in 1979, and asked about the legalities of us doing up things in real life aka The Hazzard County Garage etc, they could have been smug, but instead both Paul Picard and Gy thought why not no pay publicity. But it did not stop there. Although Gy didn’t Paul Picard among some other cast members ventured to little Hagerman that had long ago been renamed Hazard, since we brought focus on our town with our shop and of course the General Lee, that giving Hagerman the nick name Hazzard was only fitting. The nick name remains today. Unfortunately while I was in the Marines through Desert Storm and Shield, my General Lee, was sold by a zealous greedy tow jock in Pocatello. Although $400.00 would have bailed my General out, nope. Later the jerk who bought it had it crushed. Crushed mind you, how on earth does somebody do that. Must be a Yankee. Can’t trust no northern yankee no how. Again as the script read, when your tripping tall cotton, watch for snakes.

The only other TV show producer that allowed us as a club some leeway is Kurt Sutter aka Sutter Ink, aka SOA. That story in another entry.

I’m finding my new connection still shakey at least at night but we see what goes with a stick on the roof.

Then go to Cable One to pay my old bill, sign by the front door says, “ Payments Accepted Here” So went to pay, guess what? Another falsehood on Cable One, the sign should read, payments with credit card or money order, no cash accepted here. About as accurate as Cable One providing 50 meg Internet. Signed up with SpeedConnect, and couldn’t be happier except download speeds at night, it runs good.

Oh and for those that ask, what about our General? I’m looking for a body, 69 or 70 Charger, the engine and tranny I had in my Gen Lee, I still have, and once transplanted, means serious kickass. Nuff said.

Speaking of Gen Lee’s, did you hear, Mirinda over there in Gooding the gal who shrugged the Knytes, is going to be running an orange ride with our battle flag at MVR this Summer. Funny she didn’t anything to do with the club, but loves the accessories and riding our shirt tail. Same as all too many that slid off the side during our on air radio talent fox hunt. You can bet that in a month or so when that 250k signal is blowing the doors off of just about all stations and radios here, with true confederate Dukes of Hazzard and southern radio, those same seatcovers will be banging at the door wanting a second and or third chance, know what, too bad so sad.

I’m learning from going to Church again that Jesus said to forgive all. I do, but like Jesus, their names are etched in my book and I ain’t forgetting.

Last, over the last few months been juggling the idea of swapping out Dixie Toewing. Well I have decided to leave well enuff alone. The Hazzard County Garage will be coming alive just up the street from A1 Automotive here, on 5th along with Dixie Toewing. While in the short haul I’ll be doing up things in and with Big C and A1, I’m also busting hump to bring back together in its glory, the oldest single owned by the same person towing and hot rod shop in the Magic Valley. Perhaps Idaho.

No as I close, it really piss’ off some women when you call their bluff. Example, gal named Hilliary , works at Anchors here. For months been courting her on being a feature on the 2014 Hazzard County Calendar. She’s only been teasing as I knew she was. But here’s the question, I know they make great tips and all, but a cocktail server, in hot shorts and not so fashionable boots strutting sounds safe, in front of oddly enuff horny cowguys and so on , yet are too embarrassed to wear similar on a closed set to photograph with hot rods and or a truck or two, and go home with a grand in her pocket. Am I missing something here?

Again for those that ask , just go to an agency. Hell I’d like too. I’d like nothing better than to call up a central phone number, cast the deal, and have it paid, shot in the can as they say done. Unfortunately there is no such resource here so gotta do it the old fashioned risky way, just ask the who that may be.

More Saturday, join me at Church at The River. In Twin Falls.

L8R Ya’ll
