Some days you can’t get it in 2nd even if you double clutch it

Sunday was not a great day. I had been up all day doing engineering work on the radio gear, and was contemplating going to church. When my 2nd Cousin Cassey gives me a ring on the A1 hotline, saying that my Aunt Carmen had passed on. Figured she would b4 too long, but still a feeling of loss although I knew she had went to a better place.

So Cassey comes by, I get in as best a threads as I have, have others but , my butt and belly don’t fit in em no more, so got dressed. Cassey and I drove up to Pocky, did the funeral, got done at 4:00PM and came home.

So then I get to my email stuff only to find a mean mouth email from my old roomy, something again of me owing him money, if anything he owes me. But I was going to just pay him off to be done with it. Then he comes back with taking me to court. Fine, I say, do so. I love judges, courts and legal things. Looking back should have just canned his ass the first day he showed up, with less than the full amount of money needed to move in. A couple of others have expressed interest, one I know to be a fraud, the other we see, but its going to take one helluva person to qualify. At this stage its not so much money, oh sure an extra couple hundred bucks in the cash stash is good and all, but thing is, having an extra person here in case of emergency is not a bad idea, what with my diabetes and all.

So the bitch off email shit went on for an hour.

So was trying to sit and read my bible, and saw the A1 phone modem flashing. Thinking now what? So was in the process of dialing up Comcast and the damn thing reset itself ,. No more problemo. So then I’m going over the rounds of my email address’ and saw this thing from another online radio service carrier, so am going to look into it. The thing looks good, has the right price so going to explore it. If it works better than Livestream, I’ll do a switch. Livestream may be good, but sometimes their support division is a bit to be desired.

Any mile it’s its another day in Utah, catching some zz’s until the bank opens.

Scams, scammers, roommates and just plain BS

Scams, scammers, and just plain BS.

When I first posted for a room mate when I resided in Gooding, there was a some body that took me for a real trip to the cleaners. Turned out the father of a gal, was in reality looking to launder money. After that I swore that I’d never do a room mate thing again. But in April only a month and a half with my back against the wall, I thought I’d take another try at it. So I placed another ad on CraigsList, that as you all know seldom renders any results. But I was surprised. I got a reply, a guy who was about in the same place took me up on the offer. To make sure he was for real, I asked for a $50.00 processing holding fee. He sent that through Wal-Mart, so far so good.

So he shows up, but he only had $280.00 of the $350.00 I required, I’d taken the the first and last money deducted the $50.00 that came to $350.00 okay so good.

So he moved in. No bed, and little resources. But I worked with the guy, seemed the Christian thing to do. He paid the June rent on time, $200.00, less than the $50.00 I normally charge for power and applied to half the cable. Fine.

Mid June the roomy decides to start crap, so I begged my landlord to rent him the house next door.

Now the roomy wants money. Really. I spent money on fuel running my roomy around, smokes, the list goes on, but I never charged for that, but I should have.

So then keeping the ad up on CraigsList, I had several that had good money, but I’m being careful. It’s going to take one heckuva person to move in with me even with the time frame, being low, since I’m looking for more proper housing I can afford, near to where I’ll be going to both school, and where ConfederateSteele Will make its home.

Now I got this reply from my CraigsList ad , and found that some gal from somewhere named Angela wants to be a roomy.

The ad is , near word for word the ad I got in Gooding. In short it’s a scam. If you get a reply to a roommate notice from a Angela look for hillanxv25@gmail.com it’s a scammer.

Last here.

My Aunt Carman passed away on Thursday. From chronic conditions. She was 100, years old. I didn’t know anything about it, but Cousin Cassey, came by picked me up, and took me to the services. We came back through Preston Idaho. I saw places there that gives me thought of maybe I live there, instead of here.

Should we still say we toew or are we in the Disabled Vehicle Rescue business

As the years begin to creep up on me, I begin to think of how long ago it was when I fell in love so deep its hurts sometimes with doing what I do in vehicle rescue.

I can remember the ongoing controversy of the not calling or calling a vehicle rescue unit, a wrecker or a tow truck. John Hawkins 3rd original founding creator of Tow Times Magazine in 1976 somewhere said, quit calling us wreckers, rather towing and tow operators. One could even say Tow Jockey.

For us with deep pride of our profession, I think we have gotten past just snagging and dragging cars and trucks around at the end of a chain, sling or otherwise. We are called into to do so many specialty services that just maybe a new name for our profession is needed.

Some might add, wreck carcass hauler, crash totter , or even vehicle grim reaper. I’d like to think of myself as a Disabled Vehicle Rescue Technician, or Specialist.

I hate to burst ya’ll’s bubble this time of a Sunday as you sip your 100 weight sea, and read the latest on Facebook or other places, but even though since mid way during my 32 year career in running a hook, and even though a babe in hose showing off her toes to spotlight the two words Toe and Tow, combined becoming TOEW, I’d like to begin an idea, how about we start calling our rigs Disable Vehicle Rescue units, and us Disabled Vehicle Rescue Specialists? Lets get some respect for ourselves, our profession and all from government officials and the public so we can get stiffer laws on things like moving over one lane so we don’t get hit or killed doing our business.

It was a great show last night. For you outside of Utah/Idaho, and western Wyoming, your going to have to wait. We’re having troubles with our streaming service Livestream. So ya’ll cain’t hear us for a few more weeks.

For those here its over the air, and we’re loving , bringing you the toew persons version of HazzardAyre, Highway Hooker Radio.

But I’m spent. More later,

Keep it Tween the ditches.

Bee CAREFUL OF OPEN SODA CANS, EARWIGS DO INVADE

Doing an on air radio gig LIVE can have some drawbacks.

Between the LIVE commentary sets I do barking and all there is the music sets.

During which I try to get something in my mouth that’s wet(no dirty pun intended) soda, juice SOMETHING, however 8 out of 10 times, getting to drink what EVER it is, completely before going into another talk set, I put the drink aside. Most times its safe. But a few ago, took a sip of my Mello Yello and found two unwelcome visitors partaking inside the can. First one of Utah’s treasured insects the hiney bee decided he’d bite me on the lip, then if that tweren’t enough, got a slight sting from a gall danged earwig, which seems to be in mucho plenty this year here. I swear insects are taking over. In 2008 it was flying ants, in Glenn’s Ferry. That’s a tiny berg just 36 miles south of Mountain Home. Not a bad town, but it’s a Payton Place Harper Valley PTA type place, make one goof up, and your condemned. Then after that in Burley it was fruit flys all over the damn place. Couldn’t kill em no matter how I tried. Kicks the crap out of a day to get a fly in your cereal. Then it was a invasion like Yankees into Atlanta of mice in my shop. After that last year it was Utah’s May Flys that decided to invade Tweaker Flatts.

Now this year its Earwigs.

Getting back to beverages. So I try to do up coffee. I have yet to be able to pour a hot cup of 100 mile black sea, (coffee for you none cb truckers out there) and have it still hot by the end of a set.

It’s either somebody who calls,(mostly telemarketers who can’t figure out my phone is that of a RADIO station) Which we now have two phone numbers one for Cooter’s A1 Toewing , 801-689-3044 that was somebody who never paid their bills, as there is still calls or messages there of 80, that has nothing to do with me. Why Comcast or any outfit can’t give you the number that belongs to you. Like how about say for example; 801-605-9653? Which would be good, since the last 4 digits spell WOLF as in AyreWolf? I had that in Idaho, they could assign that to me from CenturyLink, Syringa, Verizon all of them, but not big Comcast.

Its making Evanston look more appealing I can tell you that. Why? I checked with one of our partner gals at ALLWEST in Kamas Utah that serves Evanston Wyoming, they can get get me those last four digits?

Just once I need to be able to snag a beverage and drink it complete, so there.

As I close, looking back at things, I wished that two people had told me the truth in my inquiries in coming here. First would have been , there’s no office studio space here less than $300.00 a month, and two the guy who rented me this joint I live in. If they had done so, I’d have stayed put for a few months more in Tweaker Flatts(Twin Falls) and looked closer at both Wendover and or Evanston. On the flying thing yes that was the primary reason for relocation, but in that, I learned with my weight and all, I’m looking at 2 years at the shortest to get in the air or to get in flight school. So I’m stuck.

Utah if you want me here, quit sticking your big stick up my six

I can remember back in November last year. I heard the cries of the Warriors here saying come to Utah. I heard from Tommy Pistone at first, since I been here for nearly 5 months I haven’t heard squat. Then there was that dickhead at PPC Realty, named Nate, oh sure you can rent this office, we’ll hold it for you, latty dah, bullshit,. Got here nothing in our price range, but I was already committed. Made Charlie pissed , me leaving, left a good job, plenty of money and a life albeit barely but a life.

Now $400.00 or $450.00 a month, is high as it is, but at least in Tweaker Flatts, Charlie had odd jobs I could do to earn, or odd, none emergency toewing I could do every once in awhile or piloting wide loads. I was doing something.

But love of club and here I am.

Looking over it, I should have went with my gut, took the places in SLC and that area, set up studio/station there, and commuted 3 times a week. But here I am.

So in putting it short to the Knytes and Wolf-Pack, you barked and howled for so damn long for me to come here, last year, if you want me to stay, its time to be of assistance, not servicing me from the rear.

I’m tired of getting the big stick in my six.

It’s like , I contacted KTVX 4 in SLC last week, inquiring about advertising, got some PDF forms but can’t write on PDF’s, but even so, I feel I got a hang up again. It’s like these TV ad people, hear once, but never respond again. Here’s a thought, if you don’t believe its real, get in your Toyota or urban box car, come up to the studio and freaking look. Shute I even invited one to lunch.

I fully believe in HazzardAyre. While still even now at its rebirth, going from syndicated satellite, to streaming local with soon to be terrestrial radio here, HazzardAyre delivers news of a different kind, that few northern Yankees ever consider. Oh sure the Utah’ns celebrate Lincolns birthday, but how about honoring Jefferson Davis’ (Confederate President) birthday. We honor the Yankee Memorial day, how about the Confederate Memorial day? Get where I’m going?

Sure this would be better in the southern states, but think, there are people with ancestors there that live here. Our children do not know the truth of the war of northern invasion(Civil-War) that conflict was not about slavery, racism, or that it was about Northern government inflicting all to higher taxes and the oppression of the southern people. That’s what started the fight.

There are graves, marked Name Unknown all over the south. Let’s honor that. So maybe next week KTVX, and its sales department can look past a pointed nose, and not spite their face and call us. Oh and reason Good For(Nothing) Utah 4? Because CH-4 runs METV, if it were not for that, I’d not even be shaking that tree.

The next stepS ?

Next time here on HazzardAyre,

again though Utah, if you want me to stay after you begged so much, its time to quit sticking me up the six, and give something to put down an anchor.

wHAT SOME THOUGHT wAS DEAD IS VERy mUCH aLIVE

First of all I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion concussion, that I need to get me a new secondary computer. Preferably desktop, since what I have is pretty much getting eaten or is that ate with music and streaming software. Meaning if I want to look up news etc, the thing is stuck. In essence if I kick in the Procaster for Livestream, Procaster takes over the entire computer. Okay.

So while I had a few I was looking over the broadcast historical knowledge pages, and very little is there on the old station KNAK, no sound bytes no nothing, so I’ll deliver some news you can use.

1550 the old KRGO will now hail as KNAK . That’s right KCPX’s old nemesis is back with the power of Hazzard County, and will begin rolling out from the west in 4 months.

We got turned down for Woodruff Utah, but to our west, and I’m not at all sad about this, but just over the northwest border of Utah, on the hind leg of Idaho in Malta is license space. Which will be home to resurrected KDXB FM .

In the meanwhile other locations are being located to establish a southern bred Rebel radio network in the Mountain West. Watch here for details.

However the point here is this, of all the stations out there, that is and was, why is the history of KNAK forgotten? Some of the most off the wall music in Utah could be heard there. It wasn’t until KNAK played such tunes as BloodRock’s DOA or Little Black Egg, that KCPX felt easy enough to play it. It’s a Mormon fear thing. The ongoing fear here is, its best to hold off a few fans(advertisers) rather than be boycotted by the abdomininable Church. Although these days that sentiment is less than it used to be.

In closing, I’d like to put this out to all those who were ever part of either KRGO, or KNAK, to get in touch.

Even NASCAR has bad days

The race under the lights at Daytona is under a serious rain delay.

Nobody came by to look at the room here, I’m still going to rent it to the right person, but I need to get to know that person first. I’d rather not rent it, if I have to go through what I did with the last roomy.

When my last roomy showed up, he showed up with only a fraction of the money needed to move in. I discounted it $100.00 plus allowed some time so he could pay the last months rent. Okay fine I have compassion. The landowner here did that with me and me sub-renting the room will do the same, something to do with paying it forward. However, had I not had my back against the wall money wise and being in a rush that day to go to a talent audition session in salt Lake City, I might not have been so understanding, no money, no move in.

I’m not really that hard to live with. I do my radio show overnight, mostly because the pipeline over Comcast is a bit wider bandwidth wise, so streaming at speed is easier. Plus being on air with people is an intimate thing. Few radio personalities want other people in the studio itself. Even co-anchors. Co-anchors come in once I feel comfortable with them just as I do room mates. That speaker to their Ipod etc is in their ears in very special places, from the bedroom to the bathroom, to their truck to their aircraft. When I’m there on air its me and them. It’s like I’m blowing in their ear its both romantic and personal. My point is to be as good as it can be.

Which is why the who that carries these shows of HazzardAyre, had better be better than best or I’m just spinning wheels, with no traction. The foundation of the Knytes is very simple, everything is done with Marine, aviation military precision. If we can’t achieve that in everything we do, from the website, to the online radio show to an AyreShow or custom truck show, we just will not do it.

The people that we deal with had better be able to measure up to that standard, if not we’re soon looking for something else or someone else.

I have explained and we’ve been told this by industry leaders, HazzardAyre, has the ability to be for web based radio what Facebook is to web based social media.

You can only be the best if you work with the best. If your working with people that just take it casually, your end product is going to look and smell just as bad. Be that as it may. Two great eye openers, and this might be the better way to aim efforts. The old facilities and all of what used to be Kountry Kargo here in Utah is up for grab, we grabbed that. The frequency and all that goes with it. Which means not only going radio online, but radio over the air.

The time that HazzardAyre operates will soon be only a piece of the pie, Dixie-Diesel Trucker Radio is on the boards, as well as Highway Hooker Radio, the only radio on any station in the nation for those who tow. Likewize good old Farm Kountry Radio will be on from 06:00AM to noon. The only farm based radio with farm information in Utah.

Of course, AyreWolf Aviation Radio and the rest will be on. Wont say the call letters yet, but its just about like KDXB(Dixie-Broadcasting) but that’s a teaser.

But as much as we want it to be perfect there are times things go ary, computer networks go goofy, or down completely, software gets messed up between us and Livestream, etc, likewise, as I said, even NASCAR has rain delays and bad days, but in each, we eventually get the job done.

So to all those looking to be my room mate, best get here and get your reservation in, or your going to be forgotten in the dust.

TTYLY
