Be On the Look Out for:877-537-9264 its a fraud

There are cards and letters and phone numbers I treasure and look out for. Then there are those that once you put out your neck and make the call, about 10 minutes into it you know this ain’t going to be for real. If you want to watch a mail telemarketer cockroach hide as the light hits it, tell em when they ask what you do, tell them you run a radio station, there is a long pause, then a reluctant proceed, but you know he knows his ass is broiled salmon.

Phone number 1-877-537-9264 is from some redemption center in Arvada Colorado, is pitching a free prize of a gift card to Wal-Mart and or BestBuy. Thing is to get that, you need to buy magazines. If you say you write and produce a publication again the scene is I dunno. That’s how you get these fraudsters get in trouble. They can’t offer you anything. They know they been caught in a snare, and they try to wriggle off the arrow. Usually scared , but go away.

Watch out for the card in the mail and the phone call.

Okay then.

All day been trying to prep to get in the air to fly down to St. George. I must have said that all day yesterday, and had planned beyond the yawn to be gone by 09:00 this morning, but Mother weather put a no go, up, plus our FBO, didn’t have LuciBelle, >not LexiBelle ready for flight so I had to wait for cloud cover to lift. Which means lift off at 09:00 Saturday. But this early warning that I wasn’t going to be by my phone, didn’t stop the constant inflow of phone calls. I have to answer the phone, line 1 is HazzardAyre, meaning two things now, one Radio, and that traffic, and two now that HazzardAyre is also HazzardAyre Aviation that phone call could mean going to fight fire from the air, medical transport, or SAR duty. Line two(2) is of course Cooter’s A1 Toewing, and That too needs to be answered, but those telemarketers are endless and those that never answer. Seems as many find that if it’s a business, its some pitch for something that’s going to COST you money, not MAKE you money.

So I’m putting this out, from 90:00 Hours Saturday until 19:00 hours Sunday, truck may be here, but I ain’t. I’m in the air in St. George at Thunder over Utah.

The body as it ages and what we dream

Huuray we made it through another week, Yep it’s Friday.

Pre eve not really pressed for anything after a day of constant phone calls from people who call on my number, yet are not for me. Seems as though Comcast execs haven’t figured out how to assign phone numbers yet. If it’s not the one we have for Cooter’s A1, it’s the one for HazzardAyre. The one Comcast assigned us for HazzardAyre used to be for Goss Photo Restoration. A simple Google Search confirms that, so for every 6 calls to HazzardAyre , I get 2 for Goss Photo. As for the number Comcast assigned us, that number is for some felon that I have had to prove 100 times it ain’t us. Really.

So by 17:30 my body decided after Roman Noodles, that it was lights out.

This old body is wearing thin. While some say at 55 I’m just hitting my stride, the fact is the mind says yes , but the body says, hold on pardner. So I was sleeping. The first half was not bad in REM sleep, as I was out doing the nasty with some hot blonde(my age) that works at the Flying J Denny’s(guess ya’ll know where I’m eating now) here, but then it turned to this hot babe that will be the poster girl, and focus model for HazzardAyre, the TV spot begins production in a week or so.

Thing is, its nice to know the equipment still works.

Then I had this dream, that I had shoveled off this mortal life, and was just a spirit. But my ride of choice was not that of a toew truck or that of a restored warbyrd. But that of a Triumph road bike, and I was prowling of all areas of Wendell Idaho. In that dream, I was slipping into this storage shop of ITD, there looking for $’s for fuel. Seems as though the Fyre Byke, in spirit , even needs go fluid.

At about the time I started to see the end point, I got up due to hunger.

But I’m beginning to feel my age.

More on that in my next entry, I gotta get some sleep, flying out at 15:00 today so no afternoon Drive HazzardAyre or for the weekend, as I’ll be at Thunder over Utah airshow in St.George Utah.

If you have to repeat it, why not just do it once?

I am not one to usually condemn or criticize local TV news outlets, but all of them repeat the same stories, both same topic and then some four times through 4 different newscasts. Question is why? Once is enough. FoX13 has been having technical problems with their character generator and crawler, but too, it’s the same news, that everybody else.

Yet none of them are doing anything different, and that’s troubling.

While there are so many different directions to go. For example, I’d like to see at least one newscast, that reports farm and agricultural news. We here would back that. Likewise, how about a 5 minute segment on long haul trucker news. How about part of the weather talking farm or long haul otr(over-the-Road) weather? I can count on two hands or more, of sponsors that would support such things, from farm equipment, farm supply store Like Intermountain Farmers, to Kenworth, Intermountain Peterbilt, Cummins Diesel, Cat Diesel, and others. I know there are towing companies like ours that would support a trucker news/lifestyle report. Oh yes we here at Confederate Steele Media>is working on such things, but why is always us? Certainly there are many TV stations and broadcasting firms that have deeper pockets than we do, yet if its innovative TV and or radio, it seems its Confederate Steel, through us here at HazzardAyre, that delivers. Again, why? Why always us?

But then that’s why you tune into HazzardAyre isn’t it?

In closing 5,4,13,2, if you have to repeat it, why not just do it once? 22:00(10:00PM) is enough.

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street (Long Version)

Steely Dan - Do It Again

Forget Rosy, Jenny and any of the rest, put an Alpha wolf on the Panel on the View

So I was sleeping and in amongst the dream dust and repeating phone calls, where no one can stay on the line long enough for me to pee and then answer the double L(Landline) I was hearing the noise on TV about the new hosts or possible hosts for ABC’s daytime show(mostly for women) show the View.

Rossey , replacing Jenny and all, then I thought. What about all the genuine He males out here doing father tasks or working from home, hey the View wants to attract new viewers, how about us He Males? So I thought maybe they need a Wolf in amongst the sheep there, more over an Alpha Wolf male corpuscle like umm wah, to be the wolf in amongst the young female lambs although in reality when your talking the View its more like old ewe’s in there.

So I’m making up a demo reel, and sending it to ABC, maybe we see AyreWolf on the View.

So then went to bank, my what a change in attitude, got $15.00 went out to Flying J, yes THAT Flying J, ate, and dig this bought SKOAL, $6.50 a can. Now lets see , it used to be more out at the T stop than in town, but seems in Ogden its more, than just about anywhere else. Might there be a Secret Sin LDS Tax here in Ogden that few know about. The thing is, used to be Ogden was a town where you went to absorb vice and distance yourself from so much LDS. Now it seems that from everyone being so infected from all too much LDS in the 60’s, that Ogden is more saturated of LDS euphoria and not enough Confederate reality. But then that’s what we here for.

So got done at lunch , trucked over to Wal-Mart, grabbed milk, but my aren’t the greeters cheery. The prick is standing right there watching me get checked out by the cashier, sees me getting a receipt, and yet wants to check it out on my way out. What happened? Did Wal-Mart feel a bit of a pinch from too much walk out of there because too high prices retail exchange?

Then on my way home in front of Ogden Auto Body that no longer does Auto Body, saw a code enforcement, fire truck and a mini,. Here came a ladder truck sireen blaring, nobody moved over. So I put on my bubble gums, and here came Johnny stupid poor guy, in his 82 Chevy, worse off than Wolf-Pup, and went around, wish the fire truck or somebody would have hit each other, I’d have laughed.

It’s not just us in Disabled Vehicle Rescue Units(Tow trucks) .

Then saw that METV 104, SLC has our script done, so looks like we’re near ready, now just need Good 4 Utah, Curt to call TMG to have Michelle come over and do the shoot from the home studio, and saying the words, in essence do the pitching.

Taking afternoon off, getting sugar level stable then will be on the radio overnight.

Trending Now , gives us Ads Trending

Some people think that as I bad mouth a community large or small, that I have an udder disdain for that place.

I had it in Twin Falls, and I am having it here in Ogden. Same situation might be amplified , or the attitude may be its not in line with LDS, philosophy. Be that as it is, it goes much deeper. When I see things so high priced at least real estate, rentals anyway, that exceeds what is intelligent or what would allow a business to open and flourish, it makes me sick.

Sure Obama, has kicked our ass for the last 4 years, and the four years prior, but shit was askew during both Bush administrations. The only time we even had near prosperity, was during the Clinton Administration, maybe we need more Southern mind in that big house in DC.

But government is just one mere part of the equation. Many people are just plain, pure ass’d greedy.

Instead of renting to a person that has a secure income, that could get on a program to get off the Government’s gravy train, no they don’t see that. So by the time one gets rent on office and or shop, house and or apartment, you might have $21.00 or if lucky another $25.00 or so in your pocket to live on. At least for the third to fourth year of the business.

I was chatting with a former colleague of mine that is a good friend, runs WROX in Mississippi that told me how hard it was for him and even now can’t afford to hire even a sales person, or extra help. He’s basically doing the same thing as I am with HazzardAyre. He calls it Voice Tracking, me I call it running a shared show from one of our affiliated networks. The only alternative is using old VCR tapes, put an image on the video, and record the radio show on the audio track, at least although it’ll replay, is that it’ll rewind, and start over again. I never believed I’d have to do that. I surly thought that for $30.00 an hour I could get none member intern/female/on air talent at least show hosts and co-hosts, on the air either as a solo run or as a co-pilot spot. Nope thing is little red ryding hood don’t want to step in the big bad Wolf’s Lair, but will that change in the new facility? Let you know, but somehow don’t think so. But I’m off the main topic.

So was getting ready to turn in for the day, and was checking out Yahoo email, and saw on the TRENDING NOW window something about portable personal air conditioners. Thought it was a product review of some sort. Nope, a full bunch of ads. What Yahoo is that hard up? Must be. My radio friend and I are of about the same mind, and have nearly walked in the same spots. He started at KEEP AM 1450 in Twin Falls Idaho, so did I, Paul, moved to SLC, worked at one of the stations I did, although when I did, it was an AM not an FM, then he worked for Citadel, at KQFC, so did I, and now he runs his own operation with the same independent small station mind I have. No big corporate crap, not trying to be a Goliath, but rather a mere David in a forest of a ton of mega dollar stations.

Bigger does not always mean better. Dig this, I can run music of independent and near unknown artists without jumping thro a bunch of hoops to do so. Where as a big Conglomerate owned station has 4 people at least to give an okay. By the same travel lane, big old Comcast, the big powerhouse it is, seems to be off more than its on any more. Every other night, its either the phone for Cooter’s or the phone for HazzardAyre or the Internet for HazzardAyre, or the damn consumer TV, is fuggled up somehow and not all the channels I pay for am I getting. Yet I’m paying really premium prices. Both Satellite companies are the same, yet tiny little AllWest out of Kamas Utah, that serves the far east half of Utah is the same rate wise, but seldom goes offline. At least their engineering department would call me ahead of time and say het we’re out because. As AllWest knew we supplied news and weather information to Randolph , Woodruff, Utah , Evanston, Fort Bridger and CokeVille Wyoming. Our Over the air was okay in such instances but the source of information would be out, like CNN, and-or the Weather Channel. was down so we had a handicap, but at least AllWest worked with us. Over time AllWest even rebroadcasted our stuff on their call waiting. Such as when one called and AllWest would put em on hold, instead of junk music etc , people would hear us. Like wise over time, AllWest and Confederate Steele(then Southern-Steele) Media and us would do an exchange , Internet and phone, for air time commercials. I still had to pay for TV, but at least the essentials were covered. But can I get that from Comcast? Yea in my dreams. Yet Comcast is spending tons of money with local media, TV and other radio stations. And we charge less than they do. Both ad time and production time.

There are some firms that understand that by washing my back I’ll wash theirs, Comcast don’t see that. Oh and overnight tech support, or weekends, Comcast might say, they do 24 hour service, but not for business accounts. Likewise, try to understand those call center helpers from Bangladesh.

This is why, I see all too many people cutting the cord with Comcast every month when I truck over to Layton to pay our bill. There is a full house there of people bringing their equipment back why? tired of getting it up their six’s. Now I like Comcast when its running full bore. Plus I love Laura who set us up to begin with although this Robert Welch here , his attitude was not too inviting. There was another sweetheart in Denver that helped me the other day, we fixed my problem related to billing, but then had a nice chat. Where else is that in Comcast? Comcast may be the numero uno Cable provider in America, Comcast may own NBC/Universal, but damn they have a long way to go, to being customer friendly and more over living up to their hype.

As far as Yahoo, Trending Now. Why don’t they just have Ads that are Trending?

Any mile, I need sleep. See all on the afternoon haul, on HazzardAyre.

Final , program note. HazzardAyre will begin airing in the afternoons from 13:00(1:00PM) to 00:00(Midnight) when Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio will reairing, again. Yes that’s right Dixie Diesel is returning, Trucker radio , done Hazzard Style, starting September 3rd,2014.
