Can the damn world just shut up and let me sleep?

Greetings from Hazzard County on a what’s to be a roasting Thursday.

As I get ready to try to shuffle off the mortal coils of the world our city rumbles with the sounds of many city workers chewing up pieces of oil soaked rocks and gravel called asphalt , to fix a aged out nearly prehistoric water pipe. Not more than a block and a half from me, my head bounces off my pillow as a jackhammer breaks up the earth, construction equipment grinds it up , trucks haul it away, and my head pounds. This is certainly a Goody’s><

morning.

As a toew truck person I understand and in certain ways used to long nights. But that’s when I’m working,. The fact these fine city employees are nearly outside my door, means internet radio is really for me a no show, and since SpeedConnect can’t deliver me the bandwidth and speed I really need, I’m awake.

Another day missed at A1, thanks to the fine city of Twin Falls Public Works division. Like I said before, what the city ought to do , to be fair, is take $10.00 an hour the going wage here in Tweaker Flatts, get ahold of all the folks that live within a 5 block radius, and pay us for at least the 3 hours we’ll miss in the morning for work since we gotta catch some sleep sometime. Even if it is me going flying to douse a few fires up near Featherville.

Don’t know if it’d do any good but thinking of suing, not thinking of making big money and filing such a suit in small claims would cost me more than what I’ll get is obvious, but its to make a point. If our city engineers etc are going to do this, give those of us who live in this neighborhood some advanced notice , so we can make other sleeping arrangements.

More later this afternoon, I’m going to try to catch a few zz’s.

I had this idea

So I had this idea. Since I could not sleep due to the insidious city engineers decided that the least impact of people to fix an aging water line, was right up less than a block from me and decided to do that repair overnight, I was awake, although my eyes and mind were getting droopy.

So thought came into my brain, what if the city of Twin Falls, had to divvy up say $30.00 that's $10.00 the average wage here, and gave that $30.00 to each person living near that construction noise? In essence since I had to be kept awake, and too tyred to go to work, for a half a day, thus I get shorted 3 to 4 hours of pay. Okay, they pay me for keeping me awake? I'm even thinking of suing the city . Granted it'll cost me more to file the suit than I'll get , but I want to make a point. Just because its the frigging city does not give them a right to dig up the street with Jackhammers , backhoes and so on all damn night, guys yelling and all, with some shall we say worse than military language, which might offend a few of the women living in this block, but at least the city leaders might think twice about doing this at these hours. Granted yes I know they need to make repairs, yes I know they need to work when its cooler and impact on through traffic is less, but there's middle ground here, and some advanced notice would be good too. That way I can book a motel room so I can get sleep so I can go to work. 

Think that'd work? Stay tuned we're going to try.

It ain’t that easy and how about one free test drive?

So came home from the fire line, byrd needs some repair so out until 09:00 in the AM so, came in and without thinking, Sat on my nut.

So since I was at my desk taking my evening meds, thought I’d look up the condition on a Google Search. After going through two pages of porn related answers, found what I thought was like the old FREE WEBMD, where ya’ll could ask a simple medical question and get an answer and it was FREE, kind of allowing you to ask one free question similar to taking a test drive FREE before you buy a truck or car. But not on that sight. Nope, after filling in a ton of crap, still could not get a real FREE answer to the question what really would happen if you crushed a nut(testi) ? Would it kill you, or just hurt like hell? I want to know. Can we get back to the give em a free taste first then they’ll come back for more. Don’t think this kind of commerce procedure works? Consider your corner dope dealer. He gives every new customer one free hit, one free taste. Then he’s got you hooked and your going back. Done deal. Why not apply the idea to normal every day commerce? Think about it.

So then tried to set up the blog and rework the coloring. Guess what? Its like it is forever. I tried to refix it, but it ain’t going to work. I’m leaning on the colors from the movie called Crash Course. On there were tow trucks in pink, yellow with a checkered flag scheme that separated the two colors. It looked hot. So thought the new page ought to look like that. Sorry, no can do. Just have to wait until we get our site up. Which wont be long , talked with our agency in SLC they will be sending up some two legged deers(dears) up from the pool, that we can finally get the thing shot. Still trying to find out if the new gals that applied for the AyreWolvez SheWolvez pin up girls and all were serious. See I don’t want to give their spots on the list to someone else even though some others are from an agency, but then I can’t nor can the club, can’t keep waiting. Oh the warbird aircraft doesn’t care, but shooting film in the near winter means these gals are going to have goose bumps where they don’t need bumps. Mr. Winter is coming. Sure its hot out right now, we have fires raging all around us, I was dropping water on two of those blazes all day until some of my hydraulics gave up so byrd 143 is in the Wolf’s Den(our Hangar ) getting repaired. Should be done by 08:00 and me in the air by 09:00. But any way, the gal from Heyburn, says she’s having trouble opening her email. Hmmm, that is not really difficult. Granted back in the days of AOL, when the Internet ran over ISDN but today, Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, are pretty straight forward. Even if you do get email through your smart(I call em dumb )phone, a computer does wonders. Even that, THE PHONE STILL WORKS, USE IT, CALL ME, it’s not too tasking. But then maybe for the female youngsters it is.

I may not know how to upload stuff to YouTube, but I can at least open my email, and I damn well know how to use the phone. Sounds like a cop out to me. But I could be wrong. Bottom line hire models from an agency no matter how bad the city fathers bitch.

Well, going to go soak my testi’s so they’ll quit hurting, and maybe Blogger can make it easier to rework your Blogger blog’ settings.

See Ya’ll near night Thursday.

A new kinda super hero, in a tow truck?

So I come in from watching the idiots out on the town driving as if they turn off brain when turning on the ignition, and I get this phone call. Now can’t say who, but the call goes that a producer and writer, wants to take one of the old trade names I ran under years ago, and turn it into not only a comic book series, but a major film and even pitch it to a few TV execs.

The core of the thing is a private detective by day, tow trucker by night, with powers. The powers come from getting zapped by some cosmic thing, from outer space. The name of the series? Ah not going to tell you, but the initials are SW and only those who know me really well will know what those initials stand for.

Was I excited? Hell yes. So much so I was compelled to sit down and let ya’ll know. Guess they’re coming up here next week for a pow wow. But this could be really groovy.

None of the candidates for the SheWolvez called. Guess they really were just kicking tires. In Marine terms they were just JAFO’s , (Just Another F—king Observer) with no real serious intent. Glad I didn’t book a camera crew and all ain’t you? So I crossed the one out of my contacts, defriended the other off of Facebook, and chalk it up to head up the ass Idaho ignorance. So we move on. Oh sorry its not all of Idaho, just Tweaker Flatts and immediate area that is the Tragic Valley. Hope these people can find suitable employment in the housekeeping and food service industries like McDonalds.

Just think girls if you were on board here, they might even cast you in the movie I was just talkin about, but oh well your loss.

Any mile need to catch zz’s need to be airborne at 11;00 hours so catch ya’ll in and on the air.

Once again no could do the radio show overnight sorry

Once again download just over 1.02mps, upload, just over .08mps, meaning no radio show. Means also loss of to date $3,000.00 .

The new name for the company called SpeedConnect should be, at least from my point of vision, Sometimes connect at night. Oh the bugger is great as can be just right under 8.mps and upload of at least 3mps, during the day especially in the mid morning hours of 09:00 to 11:00 hours, but at night, the signal fades, and speed reduces. Thought maybe it’s the smoke and the fires raging between Twin falls and Idaho Falls where the final link gets connected.

What I can’t figure since nothing really changed here, is why in March when I signed up with SpeedConnect, the system was near bullet proof. Hell I had better than most connections in Twin Falls, but somewhere in the middle of July, something went sour, and well I can see a hiccup once in awhile, since many things effect wireless internet, but since the middle of July, 3 visits from their techs, swapped in and out 2 modems, and its still dragging, I think somebody needs to climb a tower and do some detective work.

Currently working with Megapath, on a T1 and another that is a firm peddling CenturyLink, who I despise, and A.T.&.T. that cost me even more money and headaches back in 2009 through their Cell service. But if nothing else, going to put tail between my legs and whimper into Cable-One come October 1st. by then our bill with them will be paid, and since I have cable in for TV might as well use it as Internet as well.

Now if your thinking that SpeedConnect is bad all over don’t. Their people are top drawer all the way. The signal is fine for simple domestic family internet that does not require streaming both in download as well as upload like our radio station does. More over most people are not constantly online, but in our world, the main studio is in Buhl. 15 miles away from Twin Falls. Since the FCC will not let me even if I could clear obstructions, will not let me put up a mini tower and aim to Buhl and do a studio transmitter link aka an STL, from here to Buhl. Our FCC license only allows for one STL and that’s from Buhl to the big Transmitter out on Bell Rapids, another 15 mile as straight as eye sight from Buhl.

The main studio is still going under the hammer and wrench the winter last year created multiple problems, from flooring to broken pipes. Its taking a bunch of money, and with us going for a newer license that cost $6,000.00 just to apply, there is very little money still left in the bucket, for $2,000.00 Internet connections. The best we can go is $500.00 and even that’s stretching it. Considering myself wont be here after April, and the main studio is on its own, meaning whatever goes in here, in Twin Falls now, will get moved to Buhl then. But finding a quality provider is a major chore. Keep you posted.

Any way, heading up to the fire lines in the morning, with our Wolf-Pack of AyreWolf Aviation, seems they need our byrds both rotor and winged to suppress some of these wyld fyres.

See ya’ll tomorrow night.

Waltzing Matilda so you thought things were fine in Idaho?

First off here tonight, that gal from one of our home ports Heyburn didn’t call, or anything. Thought is, and I could be wrong, but think she’s going to be one of those teasing tire kickers, Says they are interested , but when pushed really ain’t. Oh well McDonalds and Loves Truck Stop always needs new employees. One of the things I’m looking forward to in Utah, is the fact that getting models for a photo shoot is as nearly easy as ordering up a pizza from Pizza Hut, you call, tell em who and what you need, they send a few candidates, you pick one do the shoot, pay the agency, its done. No CraigsList or classifieds needed. Just wish this Alaine would call with the right instruction she could be one helluva talent, but hey I ain’t sweating it any more. Nor fretting my time in go no where Idaho is short.

Which might be good.

Heard tell that if your one of the many in Idaho that are enrolled in mental health care in our state, because of military service etc and require a PSR, the reformed new overseer of Idaho’s Medicaid system says they will no longer pay for PSR services, unless directed by a real Mental Health professional, meaning a DOCTOR, no more recommendations by CSW, LSW’s etc.  No sweat off my balls, don’t need one, but for those that do, how are YOU going to pay for it? Hey ya’ll voted for Governor Otter, now then ya’ll should have paid more attention to Jana Kemp huh?

Also that other candidate for the warbird pin up gal, Gabriella also ain’t called or gotten in touch, guess I was just getting played with, again time is short for all concerned in Idaho.

See ya’ll overnight.

Some Historical information you might not have known

It used to be I’d have to get up at least 4 times a nyte to pee, now its get up 4 times a nyte to test my damn blood sugar level. While I’m just about where I’ve always been with this sugar level thing, the medical community of southwestern Idaho, is damn well determined to rake out more money from the VA to keep me in their talons to help me treat this affliction. Affliction my tail rotor. I’m not saying their like a diaper , half full of crap and always on my six, (six in military terms is butt) so it’s a requirement.

Tried to scare up a conversation with one of our applicants for the SheWolvez, but guess she had the younger crowd and her bf to chat with so oh well. The real test, is the toes in hose against my nose. We see if she buckles or steps on up. It would be great to finally have tiny toes in hose to incorporate into my graphics. It astounds me that when I do a Google search for that kind of thing , that all you see is a few shots of well cared for toes in hose, and the rest of the damn page of gals and guys getting off. Can’t somebody just shoot the thing and keep it clean? Is in fact a woman in nylons just to get us guys a thrill?

Then came the great city of Twin Falls, attempting to repair some kind of water line or something, here they are not more that 7 blocks away from the Lair here, with a gall dang jack hammer. At 02:00 hours(2:00 AM for you none military folks out there). So I got up and thought I’d roll some historical information to you that you may not know.

At least about the club.

If the truth be known the AyreWolvez is not a subsidiary of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, rather the Knytes-of-Anarchy is a sibling subsidiary of the Ayrewolvez, meaning the AyreWolvez was the first group to be resurrected out of the crush of the club in 2004. At the time there were few real main steadies of the club. The real addiction to flying and all that is wrapped up with that happened about 6 months before I left this idiotic valley of Idaho in 2002. I had just discovered the great warbird collection at Airpower Unlimited in Jerome, and when I discovered how much money John was making rebuilding and restoring warbirds against what I was making rebuilding hot rods and classic trucks, I thought son your in the wrong business. So I got together with a few of the still area members of the Hazzard Knytes as we were then, discussed the concept of creating a new sibling of the Knytes involving vintage military aircraft. A overwhelming 110% of those involved said yes, especially Marine and Navy aviators that were both active reserve and retired around the area, and so we called our group after the legendary combat squadron the BlackSheep Flyte Club. Revised over time to finally arriving at the AyreWolvez, in essence the wolves in amongst the sheep as it were.

I was involved with a honey at the time and a friend her and I went up to Blackfoot to Rupe’s Burgers a continuing supporter of the entire club for a meeting. At that meeting it was decided that instead of the Hazzard Knytes being the mother club, or parent organization that the AyreWolvez would be the parent organization and preside over the Hazzard Knytes now known as the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

Flying or the attraction to anything with wings has always been a passion of mine from even as far back as age 6. Dad was after all NORMS Director at HAFB, as well as being involved in OSI/NSA duties. We were always out at the base. As such much of the time while Dad conducted business , I spent time in the hangars. When a few Airmen had to do test hops on repairs, I’d get to go along. Lets not go into the time I took a joy ride at age 7 in a T-39, okay. But even with that one of the Staff Chiefs there said that I had natural talent and not to discourage me. All I ever wanted to do was fly and be around aircraft both vertical as well as winged. However once we moved from Utah to Idaho, even with the history of aviation being what it is in Idaho, there were no junior eagles or any other similar programs as there was in Utah. And try as I might then could not ignite the idea here. So I did most of my flying in 4 wheels in hot rods. That being that, in late 2003 early 2004, with only $200,000.00 in the kitty of the Montgomery Foundation still liquid in the bank, my cousin Bud, with my third cousin Gordon and I met at the Denny’s in Woods Cross, and mid year 2005, what is AyreWolf Aviation was born. Most of you know the rest of the story from that point on. The thing to take note of, is , at one point, sitting there at the flight line at Bountiful SkyPark, by our hangar there, I was ready to completely give up going toewing, and just fly. But then got together with that floosy Tammy who lead me from Wyoming back here to Idaho, and well had to toew when I could not fly, and had to fly when I could not toew. As it is with this diabetes I’m 8 months out from being able to get back in the air like I need to be, so Gordon’ brother also my third cousin, Randy is going to do the flying, but me? I’m going to be twisting the wrenches and doing the day to day business dealings. The target has been set the goal posted, spend the next 8 months, getting this radio gig completed, shooting video for the club with hopefully some if not all the new model talent, get my FAA waiver with my diabetes, go through retraining with Upper Limit Aviation in SLC, and by this time next year or so, be on my way back to Utah full time. This time once gone, I’m not coming back, Twin Falls and the immediate area to me is as gone and dead as the super house Mom & Dad and I built, just outside of Hagerman. Too many people have poisoned this area for me that I have no more affection for it.

Any mile that’s the historical information you might did not know but now do.

I’m going back to bed.
