HazzardAyre

What LIVE at 5?

What LIVE @ 5, on KCTF 45? Seems as though maybe Mike over there, is ill, so they just ran a half hour of the clips, and ads, but no local news.

If it’s a case of no one willing to replace or sub for Mike, I wouldn’t buy that, as my name and phone number is all over that place so, hey it is what it is, and like I always say, aren’t you glad and aren’t you blessed to have HazzardAyre.

Okay then, its been a wet and windy one. Snagged an over turned horse trailer, thank God nothing inside, except furniture. So after picking things up came back over here to do battle with A1 and my duties there. Thing is by the time I got home, I was too pooped to pop, laid down, and was out until 16:30 so got up trucked over to Smiths, got grub and am doing editing and producing for the show tonight. Oh how grand it would be to have in house on staff Production assistants. Maybe in a year, some of the self righteous head in the sand arrogant feminitiles will decide that a pay check is better or outweighs their fear of having their virtue or lack of it, violated.

Which gets me to a quick point. I get tons of emails every day from both fans and just supporters of what we do here at HazzardAyre, as well as on WyldAyre. Not just the music, but in the effort to preserve old time radio with southern confederate family values and thinking. Where radio IS the entertainment choice, and so on.

Many of those emails, are from back east , down south of course, even from other nations of people willing to move here, and do our 60 prospect projects and then be hired. Both genders, mostly women. Yet for the damned of me I am not able to fully understand or comprehend why, the gals, especially one from Filer that we have been courting for 4 months now, wont even make a point to even step in. Really? Is our area that stuck up?

I once asked our Nurse GoodBody why they don’t have something like the Sundance Film Festival here, say in Sun Valley or Twin here. Now I know. Somebody any body could try to cast roles in an indy film, but if the reading or audition was in a room or private home, the response would be , “Oh no, don’t go in there, the wicked are in there” I say phooey, follow the yellow brick road, find the gingerbread house before you discover the mushrooms, and pull your heads out.

The line from Forest Gump really applies here and its anywhere southern Idaho. Stupid is as Stupid does. Which applies to the way people drive here, turn on key turn off brain, to stretching beyond that comfort zone, come to the Wolf’s Den, sit in on a show, and see if you might could be some of what propels HazzardAyre to grow. Not that we are not growing already. The new ratings came out today. HazzardAyre, is number 2 among confederate conservatives ages 35 to 60 , both genders.

We have been nominated for a Grammy, and an Oscar.

And this is what 4 gals were scared to be part of? Maybe gals ya’ll ought to re-examine your thinking. Our Angel from Filer should look to stepping in rather than stepping out.

Any mile, headed to the Mall for some connectors for some new gear to get installed and will be on air Tuesday into Wednesday, we’ll be off since we’ll be installing new gear.

Our Rose of Cimarron

First this morning, as my brain drains to hit the rack I’m convinced there’s a gremlin, that steals my graphics from my computer. Seems every time I look for a pic, it moved. So got to go redo it, then come back and try to remember what I was going to blog about.

Okay then, met someone over the weekend, no not that kind of meet, so get that outta yer heads, but a devoted fan of things Hazzard. Mainly Enos. Without giving anything away, will tell ya’ll things I usually don’t need to repeat but for the benefit of my new friend I will.

The club, The Knytes-of-Anarchy was created in 1982, as then, the Hazzard County Knytes(Knights). The clubs name came from melding Hazzard County with the name of a popular movie at the time, called the Hollywood Knights. Both the Dukes and Hollywood Knights were of the anti-establishment, fight the system attitudes as well as a movie and TV show for us gear heads. Substitute Hoggs Hamburgers for Tubby’s Drive In and ya’ll get the idea.

The club was originally created by 15 loyal and dedicated gearheads that loved the Dukes, and loved building cars,trucks,bikes and showing them off without the super polish and inspection that show rides who went to the ISCA World-of-Wheels series car shows. The club was also started I hate to say as a slight tax shelter for the then just opened real life Hazzard County Garage(now Hazzard County Choppers). I assumed the nick name of Cooter, since my life was mirrored by actor Ben Jones, on TV. Ben also did a brief shot as a revenuer in the Dukes pilot movie MoonRunners, of which I have a copy of.

Over the next few years , getting anything in or on our local media about the club was and is like pulling teeth out of a skunk, can be done but it sure stinks and you get bit a lot. So the club said to hell with that, and fired up its own radio station originally as KTOW but retired the call letters this past summer and took on the call letter KDOH, AM 10/90. KDXB FM 105.7. Bringing in many radio things the rest were scared of. From Dr. Ruth, to WolfMan Jacks Saturday Night Special. We did it. Not to be mean, but we believed in progressive radio.

Over the years the Hazzard County Knytes prospered, and grew from at first the original 15 members, to 100, then 1,000 to well over 150,000 members world wide. Mostly as associated members of most of the Dukes fan clubs which we were the original thereof combined with a group of kountry gearheads. In 1999, the love of old classic tractors got in the mix, mainly of those in green. So the club added a sibling called; the Deere Dazzlerz Association that had as President , famed head coach of the famed Utah Jazz Jerry Sloan, until we retired the sibling in 2007.

In 2000 after discovering some restored Corsairs in Jerome, the Hazzard County Knytes, created another offspring, called; The Hazzard County AyreWolvez, that remains today. Then in 2003 with the rise in popularity of custom big bikes, and with the birth of our shop, the Hazzard County Choppers Klub, was given birth. Remains as the owners of Hazzard County Choppers, Custom Shop, here in Twin Falls. Then in mid 2008, our President , Fred Roster of McCall Idaho, passed away. A examination of the strength of the club was conducted, and the decision was made to rework the club, but retaining our Hazzard County roots. At the time, the officers had a fast meeting in Glenn’s Ferry Idaho, we saw a TV show called the Son’s Of Anarchy, reworked it and the Knytes-of-Anarchy was born. Mostly because we who are devotees of classic old big rig over the road trucks and tow trucks, concluded that we are like bikers, only we have more wheels. But make no mistake, The Knytes are still today the most devoted Dukes-of-Hazzard fans and enthusiasts that you’ll ever find.

As I head for bed once again, our new friend, is a publicist by trade, and I asked her to be mine as well as that of HazzardAyre.

Well I’m off, going to go read my bible then snooze, reading 2nd Corinthians, 6 verses 10-16.

Until L8R

Then there’s RFDTV and FamilyNet.

As I put the byrd in the hangar, I watch RFDTV.

Now here’s the rubs. RFDTV, declined our offer to feed their wallet with the statement that we would not measure up or meet their requirements. Yet I see, offer after offer, that has worse than we ever thought of. As far as programming, chute, HeeHaw is about inline with things Hazzard County, so what gives? My opinion? Some jerk over at CH-11 , make no mistake we win anyway. But here’s the rest of this.

Seems as though at least to me, they run what 5 newscasts, mostly reairs of the same thing they put out at 07:00 in the morning. Except for a few stock reports, the rest is the same newscast, over and over and over again. Then after the one we see at night at 21:00, which ends at 21:30 they run fill in stuff that is pure junk. My opinion and I could be wrong, but its my guess, ole Patrick at RFDTV bit off a bit more than they could chew with FamilyNet, that for two months they bitched about CoX Cable pulling the network off of their system. But it’s the same tired TV. How about the Dukes on Family Net? Then there’s the Marty Stuart show. Both the host/singer and the show are so old now, I try to avoid the program.

Then overnight its infomercials. I got a great idea, put on something better with bite overnight , say; oh I don’t know, maybe HazzardAyre TV?

Should I go on?

Now on the local front, the local station that runs RFDTV/FAMILYNET, has only one newscast, at 17:00. How about filling in that 21:30 block with a nightly new news newscast? Supposedly they are a LPTV that’s true, they say they are none profit, but run ads anyway.

In closing; with all the turmoil of what you see and hear locally, aren’t you REALLY glad you have HazzardAyre?

The best websites and blog sites are the ones that are free, and aren’t complicated to navigate

Yes it’s April. And in the late 1950’s my mom delivered a force beyond comprehension, naw its just the month of my Birthday.

My only wish, get kozy with a honey, over a good meal, some wine and of course some serious wampum with somebody I know and trust. Wouldn’t it be great if our Nurse GoodBody decided to at least do dinner?

Maybe more time with toes in hose. Her’s are the best I have worked with okay. naw its not a fetish, but hey I like it. Science says the toes and feet are the most erogenous zones on the female body. Needs more exploration.

Okay then looking up a thing online for some on air content, happened upon a thing called; Open Salon. Okay fine. They wanted me to sign in, but no direction on how to register for an account.

Then there are those sites that haven’t been updated for two years or better. Except for a few concert dates, music stars sites are rarely updated, even then any time a site is tuff navigating, I just go elsewhere.

When I started writing for the Knytes, I got turned onto Blogger a Google product. I haven’t looked back. Hey I’m no wiz bang tech geek, but that’s the point. If you turn wrenches and toew for a living, your not going to always be a computer jock. While I’m still looking to getting a web builder here that has one idea of what we are trying to do and will do it cheap and not with a bundle put down, still I want the Knytes site to be near as possible to goof proof as possible, as Facebook, and of course Google is. Likewise I demand that HazzardAyre Radio’ site is ultimate, that will play, no matter what speed that viewer’s computer internet speed is. This has been the challenge in building our site. Its not money necessarily, but it is to be as close as to perfection, as it can be. Anybody want to swing at the project?

So as I close as 06:30 comes early, the best websites are those that load quick, are free of flaws, updated on a regular basis, and last easy to navigate. It’s a thing of, the KIS(Keep-It-Simple) rule.

still need gals with small toes in hose for our website pics. email ayrewolf@gmail.com if interested.

Let me tell you of a product rather service that keeps its word.

In this era of frustrating dislikes of companies that promise the moon but only get an altitude of 200 feet, and consumers pissd off at everything , its refreshing to find a company and product that does what it says. Not more , but certainly not less.

While I’d like to see much more stability in my connection as in maybe 15 megs, its not speed that is the key in Internet, but bandwidth. To look at it, think of trying to flush a bunch of water from an irrigation pipe through a garden hose. Sure it’ll get there, just not as much but not as fast. Thing is too many people online, too little space for signals to travel. But I’m getting off track.

I had driven past this place on Blue Lakes here in Twin Falls, for months. The company used to be Teton WireLess TV, should ought to get back in that business, as it’d give Cable One the craps. Any mile, the company is called SpeedConnect, and it runs like clock work. None of the issues I had with prior versions of their products, and speed? You bet. Although if something gets in the way of the receiver it goes off for a quick second, but there’s enough fidelity that I can watch TV most of the time, and run the radio show via YouTube and all that I now wonder why I never chose these guys before, at least in the current configuration.

The people at least the ones I worked with in setting up were great, they take cash at the office, so no big deal in paying my bill as it is with Cable One, and unlike Cable One the claim of 50 megs, naw. But at least I’m getting what I pay for.

When we go full tilt with HazzardAyre, I’m looking to run SpeedConnect, there as well as here at the house. Just hope they can give me a bit more stability, might need an outdoor tower and antenna.

But its still refreshing to find an Idaho company that is excellent, rather than the usual. Plus dig this, I only pay $50.00 a month.

If your looking to make a change in your Internet connection, call SpeedConnect at 866-297-2900 ext. 145, you’ll be glad you did.

Oh and I was not paid to write this, as it’s a real honest product evaluation testimony. SpeedConnect, just works, and really isn’t that the real intent of common sense?

For the uneducated

Another rainy day in Idaho. Hazzard is getting swampy, but not like Hazzard swamp, two different things. So stuck inside, not bad , but doing up grades of the STL for HazzardAyre Radio, plus editing audio and video. Some days it would be great to have a production staff, on air personalities that shared our love of Hazzard County and southern Christian views , but guess that’ll have to wait.

So many are in the thought pattern, of , “ Don’t Go in There” like Little Red Ryding Hood is going to get ate or something, what they fail to see is the little flicker of flame that is about to turn into a raging inferno>> this kind of thing is not unusual here. Thing is I can remember at the dawning of Southern Steele, a syndicated radio and about to run TV show of what happens in a MC(Motor Cycle) shop ran by Cooter and crew of Hazzard County Choppers. At the time, the custom MC fever was going strong. I got together with a soon to be intern in Provo Utah, someone driving a rig for the Discovery Channel over heard the conversation, and the show was released with different spelling and such, but our version kicked its but on two other networks, and syndicated radio. Southern Steele, not only was the show, but became the network. Nobody or nothing came close and Southern Steele became its own entity , and in late 2005 the gig, moved to CokeVille Wyoming, and most of you know the rest. My consultant Julie Mac bailed, why? You’d have to ask her. Thing is HazzardAyre is not only what Southern Steele was, but is a building of something that is about to smash everything radio and TV like it and even a few shows unlike it. The rest of the media people here and even nationwide are not wanting to jump on board. They’re scared shitless of HazzardAyre.

They’re scared, of a radio show and network, that brings together the mindset of two popular TV shows, the Dukes-of-Hazzard and Airwolf. With me in the cockpit, flying this bad show as AyreWolf, and running with a fully unplugged , fight the system attitude and personality. I have never thought I was super special, or anything, still don’t. You could absorb the idea that my on air, personality is a mix of WolfMan Jack coupled with a greatly detuned Howard Stern, with southern grits, and a shine runners tenacity and you get me. My on air personality is not so unlike my off air attitude either. I am a take me as I am or get outta my face person. I will not throw away my individuality, my personality, or my beliefs for anyone. I will love Jesus Christ, I believe in marriage between a guy and gal only, I don’t believe or even think abortion should be legal or an option, I read my bible, and I pray. Folks that can’t handle that, just don’t come to the Wolf’s door. But I get off track here.

HazzardAyre is the show, it has some great backing and it has some great programming, done by a small staff of bikers, discharged military aviators, and yes Dukes-of-Hazzard enthusiasts combined into a thing we call the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

However HazzardAyre is much more than the obvious.

HazzardAyre, is playing music most have never heard or have forgotten, including southern music that is no where else available. HazzardAyre is preaching southern history and heritage, when no one else dared. HazzardAyre, is radio that runs old style radio dramas, HazzardAyre does our own comedy bits, from the attempt to find out how long a man could kiss a woman's toes in nylon hose. Hey read some of the other blog entries and you’ll find out more on that. HazzardAyre’s small but active news team, is usually first and in many cases breaks more local and national news than anyone here. Up to now we have been only available through syndication. Two things change this year.

In July, HazzardAyre will go viral on its own web site with streaming live 24 7 broadcasts. More over by this time next year , HazzardAyre goes fully live, as our own radio station. The FCC has opened a filing window for LPFM’s in October. Our application has been waiting and as I have learned is number one for full approval. Which means by this time next year , HazzardAyre on KDOH(Dukes-of-Hazzard) FM 105.7 Buhl Idaho. With a not so low power kick of 250,000 watts making us the biggest most powerful FM in Idaho.

During December 2012 into early January, I put up an ad on CraigsList. Searching for possible prospective candidates, mainly female to be on air personalities, with not so hide their head in the sand attitudes. Hey prudes do not need to work here. What I got, was about 5 that could have been something, two that were drug mothers, and wanted pay for work they had not done. One I thought was a real go getter, but became a spy for someone trying to kill the project the other, I’m not sure of. It was a disaster.

Now then folks ask why good looking eye candy on radio is important, hmmm , lets see, visual website showing the goings on in the studio while doing a live radio show. You don’t want mama two ton Tessie in the studio. Number two if your printing up things for posters and such to publicize the show and site, again bow-wow’ are not going to git-r-done.

Now the fact that to cut development and operational costs, with transmitter in Buhl, and studio needing more work, we started doing the production in my home. But because it is in MY HOUSE, all too many females that might, got spooked and though don’t go in there. I still can’t understand wuzz up with that. For those young ladies, too bad.

The bottom line, a big powerhouse of unplugged confederate southern radio is coming out of the Mountains here, and those blocking the road are getting bowled over.

Look out, HazzardAyre is radio unlike anything. But here’s the kicker and I’ll expand on this Monday, HazzardAyre is about to go TV. As well as radio.

And you disbelievers ignored us, and tried to find fault, you lost. Get over it, in fact all Yankee’ here’s my thoughts>>> ,

LuLu Hogg ain’t sung and we ain’t done.

Oops

Thank God I saw the light and got out of that trap, years ago, but here’s something.

As a try as I can to be an open minded person, I tuned into my other radio since I’m updating my music collection via cassette, in my truck.

Hey I needed Skoal, and so LDS Conference comes on, dang I forgot that. So that’s why my Internet is running slow. All them gall darn Mormons who ain’t in SLC this weekend are watching on the Internet. Funny the church charges money to watch. Really? I never saw anything in no bible nor the BOM, that says, lets make money off of these people. In fact I thought Gods knowledge was to be FREE. But the goof balls in Utah charge money to watch Conference. Hey Church President, I have a suggestion, you pay my Cable One bill, so I can get cable back, and I’ll watch. That’d make common sense. Not that much else does any more, the only intelligence belongs to Hazzard-ites. That is fans of and folks from Hazzard County. Read my last blog to figure that out.

Does anyone know who that gal who wears those pearl white outfits on Cable One’s ads? She’s not bad looking. Wonder if she’s open to doing other ads?

How about one like this>>> or >>>> I’d buy that wouldn’t ya’ll?
