Its ASOA, that is After Son’s of Anarchy. Dynamic

It’s ASOA, that is After Son’s of Anarchy. Its going to be one dynamic explosive season. Not as big a bang as last week’s premier , but close enough.

SOA brings me to the foundation of the bar or at least one side of it. The idea of a bar beer tap for the club goes all the way back to the birth of the club. Our private lounge was something to be had, lots of brew and pecker tracks in that place. Sadly, Cliff Jensen Doyle Pugmire, and the original Trustee of what was called the Montgomery Foundation, decided that me living in Hazzard was a bad thing to continue, and in part they weren’t wrong, but selling the house for way below market value, Doyle as then Gooding County Assessor dropping property taxes on the place just to make a quick sale, then jacking up those same Property taxes was a total rip off to me by them. But what do you do?

Can’t sue today, statute of limitations, couldn’t sue then few would take on a young 20 something,so I moved. Course it only took 6 months in Ada County to do what I had been trying to do in this Tragic Valley for near 10 years. Was moving away good for me, bet your butt on it, was moving back here in the beginning good? No but then the lady I was with then’s Aunt ran Trouts, thought in time changing Trouts to The Boars Nest, and so it went. The main reason I came back here was two fold, one reignite the radio station in Buhl, get it on the air firing on all cylinders, recruit, train , install a decent manager, Then go back down Utah way. The other reason was to recruit talent from a now defunct media training course at Boise State. I had no big intentions of going back into wrenching on scoots, ayrecraft or going toewing here. But hey the club foots the bill for three things, can’t ask much if anything of a pay check, from the club, pay checks are for in studio anchor announcers on the radio station, and bar employees etc. Not for club members keeping the fire hot.

Had a gal call finally from Hazzard, where else, only decent people live there, the assholes moved to Twin Falls. But this Joni gal calls says she’s going to be here at the club house(Wolf’s Lair) at 13:00, called at 12:45 tire blew, then calls about the lug wrench taking a dump, so supposedly she’s going to be here Wednesday at 13:00. Wouldn’t it be keen, if she showed up in a super short mini, heels, stockings and all that will be part of the main look at the Reaper? Supposedly she’s got a Doctor or friend coming both dressed that way would be a plus, but that’s just exploring and old Wolf’s fantasy, But a Daisy Duke/Southern Belle, look is the look of the Reaper. Think Sheena E, (Miami Vice mid 80’s) . The Business model of the Reaper is BJ’s Bayou in Roberts Idaho, Shorty’s Saloon Boise, OutLaws And Angels (sort of) Bliss, and of course the pretend bar on TV’s SOA. Going a bit further the targeted clientele, is Marine aviators number one, Confederate rebels two, and bikers 3. Everything else is blow by exhaust. Of course the new hire process is not all that simple. After all the Reaper is not going to be just another bar. First I interview here at the Wolf’s Lair, then they get interviewed at HCC(the shop) by the rest of the club, Rick, Toby etc. Then if the applicant passes that, she’s trained and schooled in KOA(Knytes-of-Anarchy) protocol, then she’s given a a two week low pay trial, if that all works then she joins the club as an employee and associate KOA member as no one can work for the club without membership.

Okay on the Pin Up Girl project. Due to weather and circumstances beyond our control we have put that on hold until March 2014. By then as weather warms we’ll be putting gals on film for a 2015 AyreWolvez/KOA Calendar. That does not mean pulling the want ads, just means we’ll be recruiting through until late February. Course the recruiting process will be made easier by then, as the radio station will be in the publics ear, and of course our TV ads on the TV, more over the bar will help to facilitate, the Pin Up girl model recruitment effort better.

But as I close I need to say this. I hear on the news, read on my news boards etc about people looking for jobs. I hear from college students needing extra cash for school, and yet out of so many inquiries only two have taken it all seriously enough to get together with me so I could do a meet and greet. One for the Pin Up from the Boise area she drove all the way down, from up there and will be the cover girl we’ll shoot for the cover page for the clubs website. But she came down here on a big maybe on her own. 120 miles one way. Wednesday, a gal is coming over from Hazzard 40 miles away one way, to do a meet and greet interview. 2 out of 150 so far inquiries over the period of one year. And people wonder why myself and the club are gun shy on a whole mess of things. $700k for the bar, $800.00 a month on the shop, up to this point $750,000.00 on the radio station, and only two potential employees and not one for the radio station itself? I will be honest, if the trucks were in much healthier condition right now, a new treasurer in Utah or eastern Idaho found, and a place to go to, I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t just say to hell with it, sell the radio station license and tower site, and just get the Wolf-Pack at least out of here, including myself. But I’m stuck for two years here. if thinks get smoothed out, I get people in the bar, radio studio, shop does good, and I find a place for AyreWolf Aviation then fine. If not, trucks are loaded, and I’m gone and I will never come back.

Any mile it was a long day yesterday, my body is spent, did not get my nap yesterday, so I’m headed for bed. See ya’ll on the radio Wednesday into Thursday on the radio.

Each has its own crap

Every telecomm or internet service has its own crap. No matter how much you’d wish it to be an easy swap, it isn’t. But now we have Cable-One, but I’m not yet ditching SpeedConnect. Here’s why, besides the high cost of Cable-One, the radio station needs the faster more consistent upload speed, not so much download. However for simplicity, to do basic blogging, etc, I trust SpeedConnect. While SpeedConnect at certain hours is slower than syrup in December in Tennessee it does get there. When I signed up with SpeedConnect, I came home, plugged in the modem, and was online in 10 minutes, no phone calls for tech support which I did 3 times with Cable-One, but when you have a real snafu you can go grab somebody by the shirt collar at SpeedConnect. Oh Cable-One has its office here, but the techs are not really where you can give em an adintudinal adjustment.

But I think all is well now, going in to finally watch decent TV and take my nap. Being awakened before noon, especially at 08:30 hours, makes this southern wolf grumpy.

Just a few more days until Confederate pay day and patience of yankee women getting thinner

The end of another day, its Monday, counting down to my bi monthly pay day from the club. Not that it’ll stay in my pocket long. Damn yankee union government has everyone by the testicles, with no real relief in site.

So hey gas at $4.50 a gallon or more by Christmas, increased food costs because it’ll take more for truckers to haul it, rents will go up because everyone will need more money to cover food and energy costs. Is there an end or cure? I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, the answer resides under this banner> .

So after waiting as long as I could, no show from any of these seat covers that said they were coming for an interview came, so took some parts and stuff down to the shop, went out to the GodFathers, and now here I am at home debating on dinner.

Okay whether it’s the radio joc opening we have here, the bar manager or just Pin Up Calendar girl thing, if these gals who send me things in my email saying they want to be considered or all of that don’t really want to, why send me an inquiry? It’s not like I went out and found them. I have no worries , the crew is forming we have two committed gals for the calendar from Boise, funny gals will come down from Boise to be involved, but can’t get the locals, does make you scratch your head, don’t it? Have two in mind for the bar, but will consider any of the rest that apply, just get off your butt and come over, what you think your damn virtue is going to be violated somehow? Shyt, I have that department covered. She’s helping at the shop, and although not a model by any means, makes me happy, so what’s the big thing ? There was a time, didn’t matter gender, going to a private home to ask for work either at the farm, or as it was at the crack of dawn for the club, coming to the Knyte House near Hazzard, you went up to the house, rang the bell, the farmer came to the door, you asked if he had work, he’d say yes or no. Some had pipe mover jobs, that was before the Mexicali’s took that job over. Three lines, 1/4 mile long , 12 cents a pipe. Not bad for Saturday night money. Damn women could get similar jobs in the house. Today the damn yankee government has it so damn easy for people, just get SSI Disability, sit on your lazy ass , eat Cheetos's and watch cable TV, and become a ten ton Tessie. But those same gals are the ones I hear at our other bar, bitching about how hard it is to make ends meet or get a good job. Tell me any other bar in three states that pays $ 15.00 an hour plus tips? Name me any other radio station that takes on intern trainee’s at $20.00 an hour start pay, name me any none SAG Union modeling job that pays a minimum of $100.00 an on camera hour? Nobody, yet for the fear of safety, the little girls can’t be bothered. So why are we even going ahead, simple the Knytes were here first, this is our valley and I’ll be damned if the LDS conservatives are going to stop Confederate progress.

Oh and then saw a comment from some guy on our Facebook page asking what the Reaper Club is, really? Bottom line we are taking the bar club house seen on FX’s Sons of Anarchy and bringing it into real life to be the bar/club house of the Knytes of Anarchy, to make this clear>.

Any way going to get dinner, see ya’ll on the radio overnight.

I am the most patient boss there is , I think.

Well got the key to the shop this morning so the remodel is in motion to make what was once Twin Falls Hot Rod Shop, into Hazzard County Choppers/Dixie Toewing.

So went to coffee with our Nurse GoodBody and she does have one, even thinner than she used to have. Plans are in the future of making her more involved here within the club.

With little food in belly, and expecting a meet and greet interview for our bar manager, opening, I came home for lunch. First I woke up to early. Next eyes are heavy, my patience level is low. When someone says, I’ll be there in the afternoon, that means between 13:00 one pm to two pm. After that its my nap from 2:00 PM to 6:00PM when I venture back to the shop. Yes the shop has ac, but needs cleaned first.

So here I wait for this seatcover named Toni, said she’d be here, ain’t. There’s a serious difference between waiting like I did for Nurse GoodBody and any other employee or potential employee. Ellie May, is one that rescued my soul in 2009. Most of you know why and what I’m talking about. Her coffee chats with me gets me in a very good mood, and her, her husband and I are all okay with each other.

Plus her input on things for the club helps.

On the other lane, when somebody says they are going to be here, in the afternoon, they better be here in the afternoon or just forget it. I wait maybe once, about 15 minutes after a set time. After that , its, sorry , job is filled, even if it may not be.

The other thing is this, in regards to the Reaper Club, The Reaper Club is a entirely club owned operation I just head the damn thing up. The club meets there, many of our discussions, rituals are held there etc. The who pouring beer, has to be one we all trust. While nothing really all that sinister goes on at the Reaper, much of it is Holy and sacred to the club. What goes on in the Reaper stays in the Reaper.

Any way I’m about to take my nap, now if I can just get Jared over to fetch that scrap metal bin we’ll have it made.

Not SpeedConnects biggest fan any more

I have become not the biggest fan of the Internet Services Provider SpeedConnect. Oh when I got it , it worked near seamless. Speed, fidelity, good throughput. But something must have happened in mid July. Their system went belly up or was injured somehow. For me I bet they are expecting a payment, however for the $10,000.00 I have lost in revenue due to their system not working, I'm in not much of a big hurry. That and with Cable-One going in on Tuesday, What's the big rush.
Not saying Cable-One is a big gig either but it works much better, for about the same money, but I'll get 70 mps in the process from Cable-One that SpeedConnect can't deliver.
Any way sitting here waiting for some new hire for the bar, but she ain't showed. Somehow don't think she's going to. More on that in a few laps, that is if Speed Connect will work long enough to post it.

So you think its bed time do you?

So you think its bed time do you?

So you think its time to shed this mortal coil for one day, going to where few have gone before taking the Imperial Empire by storm in the StarShip USS EagleWolf. Problem is, you have phlegm in your throat that keeps shutting off your air way. So you get up gargle then think its again time for lights out. But no, your alarm says time to get up and check your blood sugar, so you do, and find its hitting the mark at 203 or so. So you take some meds, and if there comes no toew calls, or SAR call outs, you finally get some rest. Well sort of.

Now if you’re an all nighter like I am, on air on subscription only now HazzardAyre Radio, or writing for the club like I do all night, since there are few if any phone calls, you hit the rack at 06:00 hours, try to stay asleep until noon Mountain Standard time that is off the boards for every other person or someone selling you something . Thing is, the noise outside of those going to the job, the light sneaking in the attempted all dark room you have manufactured to try to gain some shut eye in. And you get why I love snoozing, and taking what short naps I can and why I get so damn ornery when I don’t catch a few hours of shut eye.

It wasn’t always this way. When I was a younger Wolf pup, I’d go for 72 hours straight researching , building rods and customs, getting period correct threads for models that were easier to recruit before so many in our area got paranoid of their own shadow, or again doing all night OTR trucker radio gigs. Of course things changed when I got LexiBelle>Back then 80% of your real hard toew runs hit after midnight to about 04:00 hours. Once the cops went in to write reports the only calls you’d get were real wrecks and even then those came in before dawn. So it was up all night watching video tape VHS movies until 06:00 then hit the rack.

The body over time gets into that rhythm , problem is those outside of the industry don’t understand that, and so think your just lazy.

With that said at 02:00 hours I’m making a bee line to my bed.

See ya’ll in the afternoon.

Taking one for the club

So I was asleep, dreaming of doing a duet with Barbra Mandrell at the Grand Ole Opry, and phone rings. Its Ricky, thinking it’s a toew run I answer , seems as though his midnight fox hunt did not turn up any game, so a stand by is in view, but he needs a diversion of the mother. So I go over, take the gal to coffee, and while an okay personality, really fugdugly. Granted I most likely didn’t look like MR GQ either, but this is beyond even bad. But I went over, and flagged for Rick. So I took one for the club at least a member, so now a favor is owed, a rather good favor that I WILL collect on.

So I get home, and as I was chowing down on a pizza, cruised on the clubs email, and saw in the inbox a return from someone on the bar person we’;re interviewing first. The first thing they asked was where is this bar? Thing is we are still negotiating on the price. Second we have two other locations in mind not too far away from the club’s shop, on Shoshone. Or what will be the clubs shop, on Shoshone. So I simply said if you read the blogs and tune in to the radio station they’d know where the bar is going to be. Okay, to tune into the radio show is by subscription only. the Subscription fee is to upkeep the radio network. The blog (this one) is open for all to read, but if they’d been reading, they’d know we aren’t even there yet. Reason for posting the ad? Simple to see if there is even someone with the entire package to manage that bar. Let’s face it, what I know about running a bar is very slim. I know how to drink, book talent and what I and the club wants there, but knowing how to hire, fire, cocktail wait persons, and all the rest , is like asking me to hem a set of pants, I flat don’t know how. So before the club ponies up money for something like that we want to know is there people that can do the job. Gal says she’s coming by Monday, really we’ll see. Gal’s name has the same last name as one James that wanted in as a prospect for the club. Trouble is he’s broke, always broke, and as of yet never has paid one penny of prospect dues money of $75.00 a month.

That’s how my Sunday went.

See ya’ll on the radio overnight.
