Then There’s the Facebook Friend Requests

Then there are the Facebook Friend Requests.

Case-n-point, went to post the last blog entry, notice from Facebook pops up, says account blocked. Posted it anyway, but checked why. Response too many friend requests. First I seldom make friend requests, most people want to be friends with me, usually to con me or the club through me out of money. Not that they have any reason to be my friend. Of course there’s that thing Facebook posts on my inbox email, see if these are people to add to my friends list. Its make up your damn mind Facebook, either quit bitching about my friend requests if there are any, or shut up about the fact I unfriended a ton of people.

My thing is, if your not a true member of The Knytes-of-Anarchy or any of the clubs subsidiaries, I don’t want to be your damn friend. I don’t want you to post to my page, I don’t want any of it. The only reason I’m there on Facefart to begin with is for the benefit of club members and sponsors, no one else, I don’t care about the rest of you.

The Internet truly needs to get its crap together, and of course there’s us. The tiny group of 50,000 that all said would crumble in 85 after the Dukes of Hazzard went off the air. The Knytes-of-Anarchy took up the torch and has kept running ever since. With only 3 real toe stubs, still every enterprise that the club is into has remained afloat, profitable and solid. Even with Obamaconomics and all the club runs and oh yes we hire, but those new hires are few, as all too many outsiders never measure up to Knytes standards.

If Facebook ever wants our ad business, now or in the future, they’d better not keep putting road blocks up.

Keep it Kountry

Don’t ya’ll just love stumping the Search Engines?

Don’t ya’ll just love stumping the search engines? Like Google, Yahoo and so on.

Tried to look up Love American Style>to see if one of these syndicated TV networks, like Hulu or some such was running the old episodes. I saw only short links to clips, no entire episodes. This is not the only limitations here. Type in RoadMasters Association, if your lucky you get a glimpse of one magazine cover that was the predecessor of Overdrive and the first block of the Independent Truckers Association, now as our parent group the United American Independent Truckers Association. There’s not hardly one iota of real news of the before Internet on the TTA on the Internet. Sure there’s stuff on there now since I have been writing it, but you’d be hard pressed to find anything concerning the roots of our groups on there prior to the search/Internet generation.

There’s this grand thing that goes , if its not online , it don’t exist. Remember how those idiots in MHI used to hammer me? It’s not because things didn’t exist years ago, its because those dillweeds didn’t know better or could not Google it. Like I said then, there was an entire world undiscovered before the Internet revolution.

Okay then, there’s the Yahoo, thing. The people who write for Yahoo, must only live in huge Metro areas that seldom leave their happy cubicle office place. Saw this report on the worst drivers in the USA. The first one out of the box I saw that was just like a Yankee city folk, was saying Montana was the worst in deadly crashes. Perhaps, what the reporter said was humorous was that the reason may be that drivers there drove 67 Chevy pickups without seat belts. Really is that the best reason this kid hardly dry behind the ears could surmise? Reasons for Montana being a deadly driving place might be that there is no posted speed limit on major Interstates and highways in Montana. It could also be that the collisions with big game like deer could enter in, and of course sub zero weather in the winter with snow and ice. I’d like to enter in, Utah as number 2 as a deadly place to drive. Ever been at 215 and 15 at 17:00? If that don’t kill ya, driving down a back road or even a two lane highway in Idaho, might just do it. Where some bumpkin stops in the middle of the road to check critters and livestock, not thinking there’s a rig barreling down on em at 65 with 80,000 pounds attached. Or teens and youth in both states sitting in the no zone , right behind and along side a trailer of a OTR rig. In that spot your out of the truckers blind spot. How about the idiot who forgot that dimmer switch aside the wheel who loves to get behind someone in a tow truck with three mirrors and wont dim their headlights, at that point I can’t see. Meaning his Pinto is now dead meat. Or the idiot that can’t figure out that a turn signal is a good thing, give me some idea of what your going to do, before you’re a hood trophy.

Bottom line Search Engine researchers and Yahoo writers need to get out of their cubicles, and see rural America, and two remember classic TV of the 70’s and late 60’s. But then that’s why you have HazzardAyre, and Confederate Steele TV.

If it ain’t a Holmes I ain’t driving it

It started with a Holmes 220 mechanical, then to a 440 Holmes then to my sweet Holmes 500 on the back of LexiBelle

>I used to see Holmes on everything, toewing. Two owners of what then were solid large toew services would no more run a Zacklift or a Vulcan if their life depended on it. Johnny (Johnny’s Towing-Twin Falls Idaho) said it simply, if it doesn’t have Holmes on the nameplate I ain’t driving it. That set in my mind too. Considering how many trucks others have went through, my mid sized 500 Holmes keeps bringing home the groceries.

However with the launch into plastic and aluminum cars and sport trucks not to mention SUV’s the Holmes nameplate kind of faded. Although still made as a subsidiary of Miller Industries, Holmes is joined by its stable mate Century, and a bunch of smaller manufacturers that banded together.

You can ask dealers, other toew bro’s and others what happened to Holmes, the answers go from no longer important, not as much diversity as to style and new products, yet Ernest Holmes was responsible for creating the entire toewing industry as we know it.

Research online is a bit scarce. You can Google Holmes tow trucks and you get the factory, or some EBay listing. But never something like a new product, although still made, the Holmes 600R is an example. Dating back to its split boom kin the 600R is a mid sized rotator, that can handle most RV’s and mid sized trucks, the 220 Snatcher is a quick pick repo rig, the 440SL still a champion in its class, so why don’t we see more Holmes out west? More over why don’t we see more Holmes in the Mountain West.

Of the many projects that go on very silently, the Rode Knytes Association the Toew Operators subsidiary of the Knytes-of-Anarchy is to bring back that proud nameplate as well as preserving the brand name.

To wit, The Rode Knytes is looking to opening a toew equipment dealership and supply house in Pocatello, in 2015. Selling only Holmes and Century.

But why the disconnect of operators ?

More research continues, stay tuned.

In lighter news Highway Hooker Radio returns full force , however it wont be until mid month November. Production on the new series along with its TV counterpart, on Confederate Steele TV, is taking longer than anticipated.

The major hurdle from my vantage point is, the discovery of me having type 2 diabetes, due to both weight and stress, means I have shortened my life span a few years. Guess that thought of me punching out at 89, might be a bit less. The fact that the thing will kick my butt long before then, so I figure 40 more good years, means I’m grabbing all the gusto I can, getting things done, and not wasting any more time in a dead end village, Twin Falls stopped being a city, it now is a village. What stunted Twin Falls’ growth? That’s hard to determine. Its not like Twin Falls ever had a growth mentality, but it seemed for a short spell that Twin Falls got a spurt and we saw something shift in the wind other than the stench from Dairy farms. Don’t get me wrong agriculture is vital to us all we have to eat. No eat, die, too much eat die as well, but the economics of Twin Falls has concentrated squarely on farm and farm supply. As Big C, and my dad always said, don’t put all the eggs in one basket. Diversify, we in Twin Falls need technological as well as industrial growth, not simply farm supply or farm product processing growth. The fact that the sewer and water system can’t any longer support additional large scale growth is one thing, low educational levels of area schools, infrastructure, and the fact that Twin Falls is known as the Crack capitol of the west, and thus owns the title of Tweaker Flatts, where 80% of the population is on, probation for some violation attached to crack and meth, means Twin Falls ain’t going to exceed growth. As I get older and this diabetes sheds years off of my life, if I’m to achieve anything in my life, I need to be in one of two places as my core being is toewing, especially with outdated but still able equipment, but being where the need is there but long distances and response times for and from competitors is long and thus I can get called or, where the population is of such that its large enough with the volume that warrants buying or going into debt for new equipment. The ideal situation would be , being where both of those conditions meet. I found three and keeping quiet on both. But that said, when I buy new it’ll be a Holmes, like Johnny, said it, “If it ain’t a Holmes , I ain’t driving it.”

Not once, not Twice, there ain’t no third time

Okay so I can be wrong once in awhile, our recruit and I put that mildly , from Jerome, informed she was no dike, oops, I goofed, I did one of my own preconceptions. See even I can snag a toe on the chair. It just looked that, way. I extended a staying at the Wolf’s Lair as not a shack up sleep with me thing, but the same consideration and courtesy as I would any club member, she could have made a place to snooze in the front room, learned what we do and how we do it, and still had the place in Jerome. But oh well.

Let’s see I waited, what half a Sunday or so ago nearly all day for her to show. And only as I heard my phone on my way out the door home did she call. Then Thursday last I waited all day into evening no show. Strike one, strike two, see ya. There ain’t no third times a charm here. Still open, but its she has to demonstrate to me she wants to be in media.

Okay and even if she did get involved with me, she could do worse.

Alrighty then;

Sitting at 145, still high , but in where I run if I haven’t ate anything. Here’s a quandry, I go to fish night at the Depot, scarf down, a plate of shrimp, and taters and gravy, then three drumsticks of chicken , taters and gravy, although the AC at the Depot made the taters and gravy a bit cold too fast, but I had no room. The place was packed. Remember the Depot is doing 50 cent Hot Dogs on the 25th as its National Hot Dog day there. As they say they’ll show you some good things to put on top of your wiener. Angie is leaving the Depot in two weeks, throwing a go away party, I urge all you area members to go, since Angie has put up with us there so well.

Another is looking at bailing too from the Depot, is there a problem there? The food quality has declined severely, outside of one great new hire there Jamie, the older ones except for two, Sammy and another the rest have an attitude, let’s face it the old Depot is not what she used to be. Outside of some dedicated patrons, many are going elsewhere. Some serious examination of the goings on needs to be done, or the Depot is going to be a casualty of Obama’s economic war.

Any mile went to bed early. That’s why I wasn’t on, I’m in no hurry to get rambunctious on HazzardAyre as I was. After the station is moved in with the bigger operation in Buhl, and out of the Wolf’s Lair, I’m moved to American Falls and all then I get busy.

Our CL ad will run , but I’m only taking new recruits now only if serious, and we know what I mean by serious, I’m not playing games any longer, with the discovery of me having diabetes and all my life just got shortened a bit, there’s a bunch I want and need to do before I do the final punch out and see God, this radio thing is near killing me. I’ll finish what I started, but those wanting on board , best be as serious as I am, or its see ya with a boot.

See Ya’ll

Toew Notes, the stinky truth

It’s finally Friday with it all the full haul is even with being told I may have to start sticking my belly with a needle to counteract my high blood sugar, and the thrashing of talent that is just barely talent that can’t get past preconceived notions and thoughts, we made it through another week in dumbsville,>The goofy thing is Nisha blew off two things, one a career opening and two the ability to lease some office space. Oh well her loss. Perhaps she needs to go back up to Sun Valley and find a sugar daddy, since they have many there. The question becomes, since I am purtty sure that with just some mild short term training, she could at least be in the running for an anchor spot on Confederate Steele TV/ Dixie Diesel. That’s what hurts the most, but like a manager of a TV station in Chubbuck once told me, You can’t save em all.

I have lived many places in Idaho, north Utah, and western Wyoming, used to think those places were bullheaded, but in the end at least all of them you could at least get one or two filly’s in to do on air duties. Plus photo work for the club as well as my own tiny toew>firm. Even Rigby , that I always thought going in reverse. Not so. At least even there even with the place ridden with mice, I had beauties o plenty there. I had a office head that would even wake me up and not have a hissy fit if I wandered out of my sleep quarters in my BVD’s. And yet I run against the wall every time.

Now here’s the skivvy on the shivvy. Housing and some commercial properties at least for rent is quite a bit more reasonable. Might be why more discretionary income is in the hands of those residents than Twin Falls. One would think that a city, with several thousand more in population, and work available would have rental property in the stratosphere. Not so. It’s cheaper to live there.

Now one would think, why don’t he just move there? Two trucks that need a bunch of retro invasive work to make em able to make the move, two this restriction that makes it where I have to have a payee to retain my guvernment money, and the biggest one, I have went through way too much to give up on this radio venture here. That said I’d still sell at the drop of a hat two or so of the CP’s and signal real estate if a serious offer came. As it is I’m stuck for at least a year, but bet your behind the thought is in my mind.

Now onto a subject that keeps boiling over like spaghetti sauce, in a too small of a sauce pan. This nylon thing.

Its not my fault that somebody in their not right mind spelled the word tow like they did. Its not my fault that most , not all can’t squirrel that around in their minds and pronounce the word like the other word that sound alike, TOE . Nor is it my fault that a old publication called Phootenotes now revised as FootNotes seguays that word, like they do , but fact is they do. Now I’m reminded of the very ad a plumbing company in Boise did a bit where the plumbing guy went up to Boise’ snob hill , unplugged this rich chicks toilet and at the end kissed her hand, with the tag we treat our customers like royalty. We always had in min doing that like the prince putting the glass slipper on Cinderella , not the slutty way most preconceive it. But sadly they do. For some reason kissing a gloved hand in the bathroom, is more tasteful than smooching a gals toes in nylons to get the idea across that day or night we here at Dixie Love toews, in essence we truly thrive on the challenge that all tow runs are a learning experience and a adrenalin rush. Getting more in this leggy thing, did somebody forget that my entire company, the club, and HazzardAyre itself is based upon the foundation of the hit TV show the Dukes-of-Hazzard? And what was the big draw of the Dukes? The General Lee? Yes partly, but it was the long legged and loved Daisy Duke, >Hey it’s a leg thing so to make the impact, its gal in short shorts or skirt, toes in hose against my nose, for 15 minutes to snag the action to get the idea across, with a bit of spice. But try to get that idea across to some of these cranky , gals here? Your labeled as something shy of a molester.

The simple fact is this, over doing radio and just second to flying, me out going toewing is something I busted my ass for back starting in 1975, when I got the dizzying inspiration from God himself that toewing is my forte. After years of trying to get a job doing that Johnny Nausbaum, put me in a truck and said go for it. Shortly thereafter Dave Coffelt stuck me in LexiBelle while he owned her and said your my toew guy. Two years after the chance to buy her after that same 24 months of arguing, yelling and more with Mom, took some of my wages, and money mom gave me two weeks after my dad died, I bought LexiBelle. More over, just about all policy regarding toewing in Idaho was influenced by me. From the lien law that I co wrote, to cranking up the original toewing trade organization in Idaho, my life is toewing. Up until me, nobody ever did a toewing company TV ad. TV ad execs thought who needed to advertise on TV a Toewing company? As many, had the ad in the Yellow Pages, or Thrifty Nickel want ads. Still today, every morning I hoof it down to where LexiBelle sleeps kiss her hello, massage her throttle, kiss her goodnight, which putting her poetry in motion is more sooner than one might think.

Since 1978, everything I do, has had toewing and LexiBelle at its foundation and center. Even what I do on radio is to give every man and woman that answers that phone to go toew, a voice. Sure there are TV shows, not real, there are magazines, written for mega fleets mostly in eastern metro areas. Highway Hooker Radio was the start of that, at least for me, so yes the smooching of a set of toews in nylon hose, might be a bit racy, but the entire thing is to stress the point that without the pro toew person out here, when that Toyota Prius, or that old Jeep pukes, we are ready to rescue.

Teat is pay day

Still breathing and can still see, must be kinda okay.

It’s still border line on the diabetes and me flying , so watching that carefully.

Rhonda never made it, must be just another teasing twat, that likes playing. Seems like all too many women and people in the population , get Fed benefits, and give up on life and trying to rake in a few extra bucks or being some what productive goes out the door. Okay so I might never get back into the air or be restricted for a time, but I keep at it. Might only be able to fix our ayrecraft, but at least I get up and do something. I try to be active. Same goes for going toewing, ridding my HD Trike, and so on , and yes even piloting this radio gig. Which I’m still of the notion that if some media broker came to me with a certified bank check of $200k, I’d sell at least one or two of our western Idaho signals, after all we own 4 , 3 FM’s 1 AM. But I keep busy.

This Rhonda is a contrast of all I understand, lives in a motel in Jerome, obviously a dike, although I’d like to redirect her to a more he she life if for no other reason than for her to find Christ. Once you have Christ if you haven’t before had him in your life, all things are possible. As long as the it, whatever that IT is, is in Gods plan it will be done. But as we have said>and that goes for all the other stuck up prick teasers that have consumed my time applying for on air and production jobs here at Confederate Steele.

So went to Cable-One , paid the $100.00 on my bill, that I figured to be only $150.00, now they’re telling me its going to be another $222.00 So It’s $100.00 on the first of August, and $100.00 plus the rest on September 1st. Get through SOA then, its get off Cable-One. Seems as though , one always seems to get jacked by these people, all too many people are climbing off of Cable-One and going elsewhere. As far as Internet, frustrating at times as most of what I do online, as far as streaming I need to do overnight to get bandwidth, not just speed, with SpeedConnect, but you know what? If you have a problem SpeedConnect gets to fixing. Cable-One, it takes an act of congress to get them to show up. Cable-One keeps sending me things to sign back up, and I’d like to, if Cable-One would forget the $222.00 I’d be happy too. But only for TV, the rest I’m happy with what I got. Syringa, kicks Cable-One’s butt on phone, SpeedConnect kicks Cable-One’s butt on Internet. Maybe if enough people make noise , maybe Cable-One’s head HQ in Phoenix will fix a few things, that’d really be Common sense.

If your driving around Twin falls Idaho this weekend, it is Pay day today, and city, county and highway patrol here have saturation patrols planned, if you drink , don’t drive, if your buzzed its still drunk driving in the eyes of the law. You can think about it, but don’t do it.

So as far as all the new applicants are concerned they flamed out, my diabetes , working with it.

Until L8R Ya’ll

So I’m going to die , so now what?

So went to the Doc, to get my exam. Sitting there, the nurse gets out the sugar level gizmo, 300. OOps says the Doctor, he thinks I need insulin. Now then so get a testing meter which is not too clear about how to use, and a bunch of people who I know are trying to help but haven’t a clue how.

So then the bottom line is I either do some radical life changing or I’m going to die. Of course we’re going to die, its inevitable. I’m cool with God, got my spot on Gods bench reserved, and after all up to this point I ain’t in no big damn hurry to remain on this planet or to be living. No not going to off myself, God has serious shit regarding that, and my luck I’d screw that up to, and just be worse off.

So I Google’d, then Yahoo’d, the words simply I, going to die, so now what? The doctor tells you your on your way to the next life, you think you have done most of what you thought of doing or being when you were a kid, had sex in unusual entertaining places so your in good shape that way. If your lucky you got married and kept her, if not no biggy, don’t make no big deal where your going now. So really now what?

If your going to die who is there to help you. There is no big amount of instructions or thoughts on this, of course its obvious, since if your dyeing or on the way there, your not going to be writing a blog and sending it back, to tell us what its like..
