But are these fruits ready for pickin?

it’s a new day and I look at the simplest of true miracles, and how calming the sheer tranquility that the rain drops on the window sill bring. The Miracle of birth in a barn as a calf tries to stand on its legs. This is living, and something I truly miss. I gave up a lot moving to Utah. The one thing I will not give up as I did ye old General, I left that old boy in storage for nearly 2 years before I went to claim it, by that time the who ever done sold him. I could have sued, since the tow guy sold it without clear title. And the new owner couldn’t register him, thus might be why he sent a perfectly good hot rod Charger to the scrap yard. That will not REPEAT NOT happen to LexiBelle. Such sacrifices are what I did to move here to Ogden to further the radio gig, to further the clubs and our southern movements agenda, but there will not be the sacrifice of LexiBelle>I’ll be gall darned if that happens. So I’m busting hump Internet or no Internet to pay for her boarding but our webmaster says why don’t ya’ll send money to build the site, I’m broke , well not broke but close to it. I’m depending on this website and its corresponding radio gig HazzardAyre to build advertisers, and that means ratings and the begets listeners, and that begets, getting people to the site to tune in and that begets shelling money out for such things as domestic TV ads, enthusiasts publications. That requires something people can see and want to see. That requires female flesh by rides. The majority I can harvest, but the female flesh is a constant uphill battle. That’s why I’m open to just about, any source, for that, but what all needs to remember the club through me, are the creators. We say what is and what ain’t. Just like one Monday at the audition, when I said do you have problems with wearing nylons, her response, she will not wear them. My thought, sorry honey your gone. Like I said last time, this is not alacarte , you get what we want you to do or you don’t get the part.

Knowledge of our core is primary as well. Out of maybe 3 the rest did not know who Waylon Jennings was, had never seen Airwolf, had little knowledge of anything Dukes-of-Hazzard, and finally had never watched Sons of Anarchy. How can you go to work, much less enhance a club, and its website, if you don’t even know enough of what the club is about to enhance it to where its believable? Years ago this king of ignorance could be tolerated. As there was little in the way of the Internet. But if your going into an audition with our attributes, you should at least do your homework and dig up online some of what we’re all about. Some said they couldn’t find anything online of us, really? All one needs to do is Google HazzardAyre and you have two pages, The Knytes-of-Anarchy 3 pages, and the Hazzard County Knytes 5 pages. Then there was the worry about money. For goodness sake do the gig for the purity of the craft not the money. If your worried about a paycheck you will not do as well as if you put away the thoughts of finances. Any way, about to put this episode of HazzardAyre in the hangar, we will see ya’ll on the radio Wednesday night.

On the road and on the air

Okay b4 I get into my usual rant, need to get some domestic chores out of the way.

many of you our members have called wondering about yesterday.

The casting for what it was , was okay, but few that showed up were even considering. For some odd unknown reason the minute we said anything about being a qusay MC, the attitude was whatever, the minute the MC was brought into it, it was, we all want to be involved. Here’s the problem, few if any of those sweet hiney’s would ever make it past hello without blowing a gasket. They just are not wyld enough. It was church city even though I kept revolving around that issue. All but three came in wearing nylons, the few that did, I wanted to try the lips to toes audition, but felt all to uncomfortable there. Which is why an independent audition on club turf is needed here.

Okay Talon and his other half were there. Talon’s better half was dead or nearly so to the earth. So we ate and they took off.

Yesterday was a real Monday.

I say the American work week either should be shortened or start on Tuesday. That way America can get over the weekend Hangover before doing duty to serve the nation. The big thing? TMG never did call me today.

Okay then that means the search for visual talent continues.

Then there’s the website, seems as the nuts and bolts man of it is a bit lethargic about the club yapping on it, but is that not what the damn site and all is for?

The ride here was rough enough, the movement forward should be easier, but there are too many idiotic Yankee’s that just don’t just grasp it.

Okay then and I’ll comment as soon as I get rid of Skoal in jaw, on air. This great club and the brotherhood of all of you is not only real, albeit there’s not much if any group photos. I had one but it got lost in many moves from three radio studios. One I’m working to recover.

From 1981 when the concept of a combined DOH fan club and grassroots custom club was assembled, to the furtherance there of to the formal organizing in 1983, the Hazzard County Knytes has commanded just about every place we have charters or are looking to form them. The Radio gig I do was started long before in 1978 just after I got LexiBelle. The idea was to form the only nationwide over the road trucker and towing operators radio show/network. What started as Highway Hooker Radio, Hooker being cb slang for tow truck, that came together in 1994 as Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio that evolved into AyreWolf radio in 2002 that blended together makes HazzardAyre Radio. We are not the new kid on the block, just a bit more knowledgeable and not so gullible. This is not Burger King, with us its you get it our way or you don’t get the damn thing at all. This radio bit is done by , and for the Hazzard County Knytes and our families, the reach out to every person making their living behind the wheel of 18Wheels plus and most importantly tow truck, is secondary. If we can educate a few stupid northern Yankee’s so be it, if not, their loss.

Any mile I’m on now LIVE and I’ll get into where to eat and all in a few minutes.

Radio Diary

B4 I get into my usual rant here need to relate this to you.

While I like in part the design that our web engineer came up with for a logo, many of you told me it was not a welcoming greeting. Stemming to our older SOA days which slowly we are distancing away from, and easing back into more of our Hazzard County roots. This>scares people, while this>explains more of who we are and what the radio show and its network is all about.

Okay then, I awoke with a call from some bill collector in Salt Lake City trying to reach another person who once held our phone number. The old legacy phone number assignments no longer apply. I can remember all of the ones we ever had as a family, in both Utah and Hazzard Idaho. It used to be Utah like Idaho had one area code. While Idaho has still only one, Utah has three now. #801, 435, and now 385. Those are of the variety attained due to cell phones. With the proliferation of thousands of cell phones a new area code had to be created. No big deal, but it does become a problem for business and Comcast amongst others don’t seem to understand that, as once a customer gets YOUR phone, a change in a number or area code means a lost customer, that YOU have to now renegotiate with to win back, and that means big money.

I tried like heck to get Comcast to kick up at least the last 4 digits of the same number we had in Idaho 9653, which relate to the word WOLF, as in AyreWolf. But for some odd reason, maybe its from less population or something but it was funny, that I could get nearly the same number with Syringa as I had with CenturyLink, 9653. Yet Comcast said they could not accommodate that. Okay fine. But this also relates to terrestrial radio.

One of the big problems with terrestrial or over the air radio, is that once you gain a listener who most likely will buy a product and or service that one of your advertisers offers, if you move your spot on the dial, or change call letters or both you just lost that listener.

With online radio such as ours we have not forgotten the point on the OTA radio spot on the dial of conventional radio. Our places in Idaho have remained right where they are at for 31 years. You know if your truckin or flying through southwestern Idaho, you go to our station in Buhl(105.7 FM) or West-Point Idaho(1090 AM) or Strevelle Idaho at (105.3 FM) that you tune us in. And of course 93.5 FM being where our signal blankets metro Utah from Woodruff Utah. HazzardAyre is there along with the rest of our programming , Dixie Diesel Radio, Highway Hooker Radio, and the original, AyreWolf Radio. All of which we’re rebuilding into HazzardAyre Radio and the HazzardAyre Radio Network.

Legacy radio must then be anchored, and remain steadfast. Once your listener can’t find you, or you change formats, call letters you just lost that listener.

Now before I go. There’s been some confusion on my fusion of on air handles so I’ll try to explain.

When I collided nearly with all things Hazzard County, the natural course was for me to become the living embodiment to the on TV character Cooter, that Ben Jones portrayed, on the Dukes of Hazzard. It wasn’t that I felt insuperior to Bo Or Luke Duke, but I didn’t have the flowing locks of blonde as of Bo, and I wasn’t fit enough to be Luke, but I did, and do drive a tow truck, fixed cars and built hot rods in a tiny Kountry town and so the natural progression was I be Cooter, so it is, so it is. However from my days in the Marines and from a quick statement from one of my supervisor at Deseret Transportation here in Utah, that I was in fact the Wolf in amongst the sheep(Mormons) that instead of taking that in a bad way or insult, I capitalized on it. So I restarted my OTR(over the road Trucker) radio career as the Rode Wolf. However that would change in 2001. Once I regained my love of flight and putting together a radio show for those in love with vintage warbirds and all, and with me being one of the lost sheep of the VMA214 BlackSheep, one of my production crew assistants said why not just be the AirWolf. Not bad, but Bellisario, and Universal would have no part of that, so seeing the name Ayre on the side of a 55 Chevy, as in Belayre 2 door hardtop, I reworked it all and Bazzinga AyreWolf.

Which I have became and is now for most of the west has became a household or at least a incockpit name. But with that understand, I am still the AyreWolf, and will be, but when the need is there, at times, Crazy Cooter as in me and HazzardAyre will be also, both are me.

That’s the Wolf, on today’s Radio Diary.

The Race Day after

In the world of a custom club or organization loyalty means everything, especially to those who support you or once did.

Back years ago, Warren’s Drive In, in Roy Utah was a strong backer of the Street Commanders Club, that evolved into the RoadMasters that is now the parent group of the Hazzard County Knytes .

As such I try very hard to patronize those firms.

For some odd reason, when the guy who started Warren’s bit the dust so did Warren’s Drive In, The change was not that sudden, but over the years I have seen the decline. Taste went down prices went up, to where I began to avoid the establishment, But you get to thinking ah, lets try it to see if the problems have been corrected. Unfortunately this is not the case at Warren’s. Now I can see once, maybe twice screwing the pooch. Bad ingredients from suppliers, a bad day for the cook, any number of things, but to keep messing up consistently naw this is just a case of poor quality supervision, and the fact the owners and managers not wanting to give the boot to the employees not making the grade. Now to make this fair, I’ll say this. Back when my Dad, Ed Thomas and Jay Call brought forth what you came to know as Flying J, quality and friendly service was foremost in everything they did.

I only went once to a Flying J Motel that was sub par, the maid , made the bed, without checking for insects in the bed, what I found was a covey of grasshoppers in the bed. Which after I fixed that problem, everything was great. The restaurants were always clean, well stocked and even to the point of the conversion to Denny’s , the food was always good, never did have a bad meal there. After Jay Call died however quality control slipped, poor investments by corporate and some minor management problems, but Flying J slipped to the point of near bankruptcy. In came Pilot, and bought the majority of Flying J, except for paying the Montgomery Foundation OUR money, still Flying j remains a leader.

On Warren’s, if your going somewhere to end up spending $10.00 on a burger and fries, it had better be as excellent as possible, Warren’s fails to deliver. So the Knytes just are not going to go there any more. Especially after myself and two others of us, were bent over our thrones until near 04:00(4:00AM) . With 3 of us visiting MacKay Dee’s er, over this and getting our guts pumped and gave meds to settle our insides down, I suspect that the health department is going to be looking at Warren’s really close.

So if I’m not on air LIVE today, you know why.

Now if the prices at warren’s was more in line with say McDonalds , I might not be so bitchy about this, but if I’m shelling out money to the tune of a $10.00 burger fries and soda, that food better be cooked, the pickles and condiments better be fresh, the fries COOKED. I will give the young gal tending to us, she was cool, but she’s only the server.

See ya’ll after the race and around 11:00PM

In the words of Jesus, you listen, but do you hear?

In the words of Jesus Christ, you listen , but do you hear? The long standing effort on behalf of HazzardAyre is to educate. At times my howling, is done to hold up a mirror to many to look back at themselves and do some inside thinking and self inventory.

That can be at times a real problem, since many don’t want to look inward.

Many try to poke holes in the steel, and laugh at it, to make themselves feel better about something I said that they know is true, yet don’t want to see.

Whether the topic is Utahrd stupid, Yankee ignorance, especially on southern history and culture, or just on life itself.

Our human existence is morphing at an alarming rate. Intelligence is being subdued to assimilation , creative ability is being set aside to , lets just do what we’re told. The list goes on but a one World population with one government for the entire planet is not such a far flung concept. Yet there are a few of us that are fighting for both freedom, as well as liberty. The two are not necessarily equal, or the same thing.

Our female population is scared to death about greeting a basic, trucker lunchbox turned radio executive/producer. What many think is that they’re going to some big high end office in some downtown business district, Heaven forbid if they have to go to a house where rent is less, but radio production is going on, but to see you have to visit, one can’t just think no it isn’t without visiting and finding out sure enough it is.

Now does this mean that a full stage facility isn’t on the boards? No, but done that, before and before I do that for sure I’m making damn sure that things will run smoother here. If so great we’ll go the expense of a formal facility, if not being the station is online, it can be moved, say to Boise.

Or for that matter Wyoming where the LDS influence that seems to be a fear of most.

The latter I don’t understand, as I still hold the place on that ladder as a High Priest, I’ve not been ex communicated and am welcome in some places of the Church that few go or are allowed. Yet I have my SKOAL, I love my brewski as well as JD, and that ain’t John Deere, most of those pulling loads for Deseret Transportation the churches humanitarian trucking company, those drivers are tuned in on their IPODS and such in those trucks, without any gripes whatsoever. And yet outsiders fear the situation that if they work with us, they’ll be shunned from working for Bonneville Media, the Church’s production company. In reality that’s not even reality.

So my thoughts as I get back on air, I ask again, you listen, but do you hear?

It’s the pickles, it’s the pickles

It’s a Saturday, I had every idea of being inside your radio last night , but got to talking to the neighbors and a few barley pops, at 3.2 octane level, which does nothing for me by the way, but enough of em I’ll catch a mediocre buzz. So with that and lots of back gate howling by 05:00 I was near dead, so came home showered and bed.

Got up, invited my neighbor to go eat at Karen’s Café here but he was too busy watching the Kentucky Derby, which is not in my interest at all, to me if it doesn’t have tires and burns gas, I don’t want to be around it, or even interested. So I ventured off . Got to Wal-Mart got the money order deposit from my new roomy Jeff, and decided to give Warren’s another try. So I duplicated the same order as from my birthday. When I got to the pickles, that were again terrible, I quit eating and left. It is thus I have determined 4 things, one the pickles are rotten. Not just sour as a pickle should be , but really rotten. Two the Warren’s that I grew up with and that the club grew up with is not the Warren’s of today, what really is? and three, the fries at Warren’s are undercooked, and 4 , you get the idea that most that work at Warren’s are there for a job, not a career and really do not care. The final here 3 times, is the number of visits the club makes as to give a thumbs up, and repeat or give a finger down and not go there anymore. In this case its finger down , no more going to Warren’s at least the Riverdale location. Will try the Roy location, see if its as bad , if so no go. If better, maybe, but don’t push the maybe baby.

So I got home, looked over the Facebook gossip, saw a few entries from Sammi and all couldn’t see details but will make a determination of it all Monday after I go to TMG to see the crew they have lined up.

The stuck up , ignorant and arrogant attitude I saw in Idaho is magnified in Utah as far as screen or feature photo talent. As long as the WHATEVER it is , is LDS and otherwise approved by LDS officials your in with a shoe horn. If not it’s a uphill battle and calls to Hollywood and Nashville.

Any mile we are growing, HazzardAyre Radio has seen a slight uptick in income, I’m doing much more off screen socialization here than I did in Idaho, and can say if its done slow, we’ll make it. And make it three times better than it currently is, that is if we can find the right in front of and behind the camera talent.

Any mile we’re gassing things up here getting ready for a 23:00 hour departure to HazzardAyre Radio, so stay tuned. www.livestream.com/hazzardayreradio

See ya’ll then.

Finally time for me to settle down

My have I had a day of it.

First I get up, and have to battle with the Department of Workforce Services here to get crap straightened around on my grub card. Then it began battling with some witch at Macey’s Food store over a bottle of milk. Then glancing over some dangling emails and Facebook postings from Models Utah, I get a nibble. She was fine said she’d be up, so thinking on a real maybe, settled in for the day.

Got most of my money from the Feds, and in the AM sending $100.00 up to Dan, on LexiBelle, then shortly after June 1st going to go fetch it. If this deal with a room mate and all pans out it’ll lower my output of funds all the time.

My power bill was only $40.00 a far cry from those of Idaho Power in Twin Falls, My gas bill about that so got off for $220.00 so I’m good. If the new roommate pays up his $250.00 plus $200.00 that’s $450.00 which means Monday I can pay off Comcast and some on DirecTV. We see.

June 1st too we can get this radio thing in a office studio and grow this.

Sammi showed up, she’s great but is stressing on the logistics problems. Of which I’m fine with, if we can just get some stuff put together to build the rest of the site with my webmaster in California, not only will the radio station be hot, but the site itself for the club will be top notch too.

Then having an issue with Google, tried to sign in for Google Earth, damn thing lost my password so been juggling that, but I think it’ll work out okay.

All I know is my mind and body hurts, I’m taking my meds, doing a shower and hitting the rack.
