Some folks haven’t a clue

HAZZARDAYRE LOGO 1AWDB2

So was doing some pre production for HazzardAyre Radio for tonight into Friday. Tuned into this recommended for me thing called My So Called Life, that is rebroadcasted on Hulu. I’ll get back to Hulu in a short few miles here. So watched it, nothing really earth shattering, don’t think the series will last long and is set in the same genre as some other Teen High dramas. Let’s do something real here. Or even throw the thing in reverse, lets do a high school teen drama, with some Christian values in it.

So then thinking of what to get into the mix for the Daily Breefs here, decided to first watch last nights edition of NBC Nightly News. Great news, except for all this on the damn baby from England. I thought our forefathers and ancestors, fought against British rule and England at the turn of the millennium. But it seems our nation can’t take England’s teat out of Americas mouth. Dang it , this is America, lets keep an eye on THIS nation. Let’s have mainstream media start paying attention to such things as following the under current of politics, mainly the not so far in the distance of another civil war between the states, that will yield the rise of Dixie, and a complete overhaul of the way government works.

So then was watching the archived edition of the Today show, first there was a story on high school girls going to fire fighter school. A good piece , but that would never go in bassackwards Idaho. Gender separations of professions is alive and well in Idaho. Remember Idaho outside of a few progressive pockets of the overall population is still by choice living in a Victorian mindset and despite anybody trying to divert that water stream, it ain’t going to change. It’s this kind of bigotry that is preventing such movements as HazzardAyre Radio, the core foundation of the Knytes-of-Anarchy from moving forward faster. That foundation is easy to understand , its preservation of southern confederate culture, which is highly Christian , but one can’t get that through some very thick craniums.

So then finalized that to, watching a clip about what men want in or to attract them to women. The questions were all over the board. But here that is, in a easy bundle. Men want women that are not complicated, who do not over analyze everything, that is knowledgeable in the sack, dress’ like a lady when the need is present, yet can put on a pair of gloves and get greasy building a Harley. Or for that matter working in the field. Wrapping that up with a woman being able to cook, and not burn water, but serve a good dinner. And not be a clean freak. Or for that matter a clean lazy. Speaking of that I still want to compliment the gal that came over yesterday and cleaned my little house. Never in my life have I seen such completeness. She even cleaned my aged microwave oven. That thing has not looked that clean since the day I bought it in 2004. The only thing she did that was a slight goof , is throw away the bottle I was using for a drain plug for the bathtub. Outside of that she did fantastic. Nancy and anybody else doing cleaning, needs to come take pics and learn, this is the way its done. If I had this kind of help in the radio station we’d be network by now.

Speaking of network.

HazzardAyre is a radio show of, what is called Confederate Steele Media, which now hails as Confederate Steele Network. That’s the combining of Southern Steele Media, and Confederate Star TV. It was just easier to reformat that into a new critter. The network thing is simply taking a route of safety. Just because we don’t get one or two area station approvals for one reason or another in any given town or area, does not mean we quit. So while HazzardAyre keeps working in the KDXB arena, Confederate Steele is working in the Sirius/XM , Internet radio/tv arena. To maximize our footprint.

But lets look at two other networks, and two that are strictly Internet radio.

The first big one is Hulu. Hulu is a by product of NBC-Universal-Comcast. But started out very small. There was a time, few , even broadcasters , knew little of or cared much of a thing called Hulu, by the way I will interject here and remind ya’ll, that Confederate Steele invested $1,million in Hulu in its infancy. getting back on track here.

Hulu runs overall some of the best rerun and on demand programming for TV any way that I have seen. From Airwolf to network series that are partly defunct you can see what you missed. Hulu is now producing some of its own shows and dramas. Even Larry King is on Hulu. The next not as strong , is RFDTV. I remember when Patrick Gotsche started that thing, I thought this thing ain’t going to make it the first lap. It was old, harbored old technology and still to restrictive on potential advertisers(like the Knytes) but yet you have to give RFDTV credit. Patrick has elevated RFDTV to formidable status. Acquiring Rural TV, then FamilyNet (that was PAX TV before) and now launching Rural Radio now on XM-Sirius.(CH-80). Are there some problems there? Yes, noise from some series producers say Patrick does not generate enough income to sustain their shows, and that its too unstable in placing shows in a standard time frame. There is the fact that Patrick and RFDTV is not firmly funded, that there are dogs biting at his heels. But I think he is doing well. I just wish he’d render a truce and re-explore taking on Confederate Steele as a partner as well as allowing sponsors, like the Knytes-of-Anarchy on there. But that’s a subject for a different time. The fact that while it isn’t said, he does read our news, and does put in some of our thoughts into programming decisions, he’d call it beating us to the line, we’d call it competition in kind, and that keeps both of us from resting on our complacencies. As far as Confederate Steele is concerned, we were at the grid line of scrimmage of going satellite in 2006 when my own need to breed brought me out of Wyoming here to Idaho. A bunch of equipment went into storage, no body knows where it went and we have been trying to replace it with new, modern gear ever since.

The fact that no one seems to know how to design a web streaming website at least in our area of Idaho, and that having to be farmed out of state, is also a huge reason, much of our projects progression is slow. But meticulous. It has to be. I want what we do online on demand and on satellite to be not just excellent, but southern confederate excellent, and that brings me to , two internet sites, one we are mirroring. One of course is Dixie Broadcasting. (www.dixiebroadcasting.com) Ray has made an excellent site there, that is extremely informative and educational. But it leaves out a lot of things like daily all the time LIVE programming. Not recorded, but constant LIVE, which is something we are busting hump to achieve. Which is the reason for the on air talent searches. I can’t do it all the time, on demand, LIVE there has to be a body, in the seat for that, so we keep looking. Lets face it Magic Valley , which I claim, is more like Tragic Valley, Idaho, just does not have that talent or if we do, its not working for us at 3 times what they make elsewhere, but hey, sheep don’t nestle in with us Wolvez very good. Finally speaking of Wolvez. In 2002 while building a on base MARS Radio station at HAFB Utah, looking for call letters found the ones we wanted owned by a station out of Alaska, still searching stumbled on a thing called WolfFM, (www.wolffm.com) Steve Wolf has built a kick ass operation. Most notable is the fact , is and I’m not detracting anything here, or being insulting, more like a tribute, but Steve built WolfFM, being blind, in a wheel Chair in a small room in a 3rd floor apartment in Nashville. Granted Nashville does give him an edge. But thought was then, if Steve can build WolfFM with his restrictions, should not the AyreWolvez be able to build AyreWolfFM ? Utah was easier to build in as there are outside resources, except at the time, no body in Utah to hand hold lead us to building a streaming site. When it comes to computers and the web , I’m stupid. While I have some skills, I have no idea what to do, with many things, hell I can’t even upload something to YouTube. The few online aids ain’t much help, still looking for an IT Tech and content tech for our operation to help in that task?

So then that wraps this up. We all have our abilities. When faced with a block, I am not too proud to say, hey I don’t know, can you help? I tried to get some of those not so dry behind the ears critters out at the River Fellowship to jump in, and they offered, but when pressed retreated like a bunch of carpetbagging, Union troops, but I know when I’m stopped, but as a Knyte with a huge responsibility by duty to the Knytes, I will seek out those that can help, if only they will hear and really listen.

Any mile, going to catch some sleep for a few hours, but before I go here.

I have not a clue as to why Cable-One still sends me offers to subscribe to their services. They know that Patrick Gary Montgomery formerly of 811 21st Street in Heyburn Idaho 83336, CEO AyreWolf Aviation, owes them just under $200.00, of which I paid $100.00 last Friday. And by SOA time the other $100.00 plus everything else will be paid. But as much as they know I owe, why keep throwing that out there? I know they have a computer data mining thing that has found me in the phone book, (yes we are there) with us owing them, couldn’t get hooked up again right now if I wanted too, but they keep sending out these teaser invites? Don’t their marketing team that sends these things out look up the account and see , that hey these folks owe us, lets not go there? At least yet. So I say to Cable-One again , when I do sign up, it’ll be for TV only. Your Internet is not 75mps , more like 30mps and that’s very late at night. While honestly SpeedConnect is right at 9mps, I get good quality, quick service when there’s a problem, and really someone local to yell at if there’s a bill malfunction. All this for $50.00, that truly will not go up . As far as phone, maybe in the future, but SpeedConnect has that too, and will be our prime telecomm in Buhl at Confederate Steele’s studio in Buhl, as well as here in Twin Falls. Cable-One can’t compete, so quit trying, stay doing TV , that’s what your good at.

Any mile friends my brain is taxed.

Beauracratic bullstuff

HAZZARDAYRE LOGO 1Pappy's Lawg Hedder

Okay so been working with this cat named Todd, as my PSR for what now 3 going on 4 years. While not much has improved the guy has been useful a few times.

So the guy is going adios, as he says he’s outgrown the Tragic Valley, hell haven’t we all? So he’s headed to Boise, so I set up a Facebook link to Todd just to keep in touch and have a brew or two once in awhile if I ever get to Boise, more on that in a few.

So Todd says, he’d like to, but Medicaid says nope. Can’t do that, when he’s gone, no more absolute contact. Really? Here’s a guy that’s been in my life for what now, like I said 4 years darn near, has tended to I don’t know how many things on a personal level, and yet now that he’ll be off the clock I can’t even Facebook with the cat? Bullstuff.

There are hours I’d like to tell the VA and Medicaid where to stuff it. Medicaid wont pay for this, or that, Oh I forgot the other, gotta get the other since, this,that, and the other is a set.

That’ll make you scratch your head figuring that out, it ain’t that difficult Yankees, look up comedian George Carlin, and Toledo Window Box, then you’ll get the entire picture.

Idaho’s people are a bit culturalized challenged.

Nancy got in touch, seems as though the Durango, blew its guts, so she’s a foot I think. Since we really need to chat, so too, she should get with the new housekeeper and become a team, both would make kick ass money. Seems as though Leslie and Ron took a hike, The rest , I don’t know about. I still think Maria is hot, but never could make that connection.

Any way network getting clogged, seems as though SpeedConnect, is having issues here. Maybe SpeedConnects techs need to get out in the streets and do some tech work.

This is what I call clean

HAZZARDAYRE LOGO 1

So came 11:00 hours, that’s 11:00 AM for you none military types out there.

Woke up barely at 10:00 Hours to let the house keeper in. Tried to do something different in scheduling but no go, so I sent her to working , I closed the door and went back to sleep.

Ya’ll gotta know, I have complete Trust in this gal, she did what was needed, to a Marine level, did not disturb me and I had no reservations on security as I had with the two Nancy sent over the first time. My dishes were done, bathroom shines, floor is well vacuumed All I gotta do myself is bag the trash and haul it off. If I would a had change my laundry would be done, guess that next time. This gal is worth the money.

It’s not like I have anything against Nancy, but since the fiasco on the Durango and all she ain’t come by, called or nothing. In the bible don’t it talk about forgiveness? Okay we had a fuss, I forgave, was willing to give a second chance, but no sale.

I don’t need another housekeeper now, my place is spit polished and shines. The club loved what our new gal did, guess she’ll be cleaning the Reaper Club as well now.

You know you can trust someone when ya’ll can sleep while she’s working and not be concerned with security, or formality. I didn’t even concern myself with walking out in my Marine shorts to the latrine, whilest she was here. This is what I call redeeming value.

If anybody wants a phone number and a recommendation on this gal, rattle my phone or email me.

Since I quit recruiting new on air help which few if any can be found, paid or intern, which is no where to be found here in my town, my nerves have unwound, I’m relaxed, and I can focus on tasks I need to.

Now if I could just find me a SheWolf, I’d be okay.

This one was my own fault so I own up to it. See last night as I was closing the show, on air I went to segue from a program to another, what I didn’t know was a Gremlin called Last FM had crept in, and was making a mess out of my media fields and programs.

So it’s taken most of the dang day Tuesday to get it all going, well sort of, but at least seeing some daylight.

Met with the formation committee on the Toew Bros Club. Looks like that’s a go, and will be focusing efforts on doing more of Highway Hooker Radio that airs weekends here on Confederate Steele Radio Network.

Getting things together for the web site to go with the radio streaming. Which brings me to a point.

I get at least 60 inbox messages in my inbox every day, from quite a few suppliers, news sources etc. However outside of those are offers for products or services. I will not read past maybe two bars of copy, if there’s no sizzle in the web page, even the logo or creative art , has to have some bang to it. Idiotic, mis-spelled words, and just plain dull , means its in file 13 box not in the look at it l8r box. Maybe even buy something.

So with the Toew Bro’s Club, and the ultimate Dukes-of-Hazzard/AirWolf(AyreWolf) web site that will carry our web stream and Internet Radio, I demand to have at least some spice in it, to not only to get your attention, but to retain it. Now there are many things to get your attention, one of the oldest, yet the most effective is having a hot gal with a hot ride, in an even hotter outfit. Which is 80% behind these talent searches we do here.

Now as I have said, I’d like to have talent agencies on every corner like say Los Angeles or even Salt Lake City, sadly none are to be found. I know the meat in shorts with a rig, is not popular with some feminazi’s and all but from Rodeo Queen contests etc, to on TV with gals pitching everything from an ear wax remover to Courtney Hansen hosting RTM’s(Spike-TV), PowerBlock it’s a gal.

So that’s what I’m working on part time. For the immediate time, its finish things to get paperwork filed for October to launch KDXB FM/HazzardAyre just after the first of the year.

Well gotta hit the rack, the new house keeper is coming at 11:00 hours, sorry Nancy , but you dropped me as a customer so had to get someone else.

Whether to love or not?

KNYTESSCROLLHEADERreaper crew journal phootenotes

So got this email from seatcover wanting to park her boots under my bed and be my SheWolf. Thing is after being scammed like I was once in Utah, by some super looking , I thought Russian babe, turned out to be some dillweed hustler in some place in Africa, saw a story on it even on CNN, but any mile, we see what goes here.

I put in my return email to her that we have a district FBI agent as part of the club, in fact Lonnie is one of the founding 15. If this gal is trying to be cute and play one off here, she’ll meet one helluva rude awakening the club and Lonnie will find, prosecute her to the fullest extent of law.

The Knytes don’t mess around with this kind of thing.

There is a unwritten perhaps it should be, but there is a pact we make at the blood ceremony. Once a full patched member, the club always comes first. Over wife, nation, job, home. The only thing the club is second to is service and duty to God.

If your put in a place of responsibility, duty to the club because of that responsibility becomes your only reason for living.

The consequences, are severe and can end with death.

35 days until season 6, and so what am I doing? Getting ready to head to Sturgis, yes I’m going this year. Can’t wait. Got a cabin, and plan on being wasted for several days, and paying for it weeks after, but it’s the life we adhere to and treasure.

Finally got an inquiry for one of the Lady Wolvez for our aviation brothers in the subsidiary of the club known as the AyreWolvez. Basic way to describe the AyreWolvez is biker with wings that fly.

Any way the inquiry came from a gal in or near Boise, that is looking to be an on air person here. Question I have is, she’s a wound nurse up there. Why the breath of Hades would she want to come here to Twin Falls to work in a radio station for bikers and gearheads?

Let ya’ll know how that boils out.

Been doing better on the blood sugar thing still high , but averaging 150 so not too bad.

What’s the big deal?

AWDB2morning phootenotes

So as I closed out of a full radio show last night with the lowest blood sugar reading I have had yet and all, checked the ad activity on CraigsList. The only ad up there is my personal ad for a personal SheWolf,-(wife)- so I ask what’s the big deal? Jenn told me Friday when I picked up my check to pull down the others, so I did. In fact I’m not sure if I’m going to put em back up for sometime. the reasons vary, but are centered on the fact that finding models for ads etc, more so for on air radio talent here is a mission impossible, so why put myself and the club through that. Trust me bro’s and sis’s all these premadonnas will be gnashing their teeth wanting to be on our station once active, but then the interview is going to be a ton and a half different.

Had one last inquiry on Lady Wolvez this morning, sent a reply, but I’m no longer killing myself and ignoring my own company and my health on this.

Here’s the closing on that, why that tuff gal has to keep getting in our face is beyond me. Quite frankly what we as a club do, or what I do has nothing to do with her. We gave her the boot, months ago. I’m not involved with her in any way, and damn well I know none of you are. What’s she trying to do? Protect the entire female population of Twin Falls from what? Me teaching them broadcast basics, and giving them a place to hone their skills once on the air in a short few months.

I have said this once before, I’m glad Edison wasn’t trying to invent the light bulb in Twin Falls now, or years ago , as with the consensus here on out of the box anything, we’d still be lighting our way with candles or oil lanterns.

Saw where RFDTV, is doing a big gig at Indy. To kick off Rural Radio on XM Sirius, Channel 80, they are doing a big thing on the grounds of the Brickyard 400. A tractor/truck parade, and so on is going down on the third. Wish we could go, but things being what they are can’t quite do that. But here’s my suggestion to Patrick CEO RFDTV, if he wanted to really attract entrants, he ought to make arrangements at least for the pick-up trucks, that those that can, be able to have a truck race, and allow the trucks to run at race speeds. Getting Danica Patrick there as a feature driver would be a plus, just a suggestion.

Last here this morning, with most everything turned worse than lemon sour in Twin Falls, plans for a 2014 DukesFest West-Hazzard Nationals has been cancelled. Plans are now that once resettled in Eastern Idaho, is to stage the event at either the Power County FairGrounds or the Eastern Idaho FairGrounds in Blackfoot, in 2015. I’ll keep ya’ll posted.

However the Knytes/AyreWolvez reunion, has been penciled in for 2014 in Idaho Falls.

Any mile, body is near spent so headed for bed.

Oh how I wish I truly was in Dixie

DAILY GRIND

Oh how I truly wish I were in Dixie.

In due recognition of my previous entry here, I really wish there was a agency to hire short term acting, modeling and even radio talent regardless of gender from. Sadly Twin Falls is not one of those towns. So one has to go through a cudzillion of avenues like posting ads on near fraud sites like CraigsList, to hopefully dredge up what little acting, or such talent might be available.

Forget open calls at say the local mall, area mall managers not keen on the idea, guess Ogden or Layton Utah’s Malls are more receptive to such ideas.

Forget recruiting from a local radio/tv school, there aren’t any , anymore. Thought being why? No live or little LIVE radio being done any more. Thing is even those on Sirius-XM are media/radio personalities, they need to train somewhere, but certainly not Twin Falls Idaho. Maybe Utah, there was one there once but got bought out by a nursing school that ran the radio school into the ground and killed it.

With Idaho and especially Twin Falls only counting for maybe a 1/2 percent of broadcast penetration there is little incentive for anyone including a area land grant college to devote resources to a course in even broadcast basics education. Most of anyone on radio here, if they get on radio here no matter the gender most of the time just pushes buttons. Few speak, and even fewer put any , well, personality into a radio show.

Oh yes, such shows as Bob & Tom etc are groovy, but they are not produced here. Just aired. As far as any of the stations being truly being locally owned, there are two, Confederate Steele/HazzardAyre and Lee Family Broadcasting, the rest although locally managed(to a point) are owned by huge media conglomerates like Cumulus Broadcasting. Formerly Citadel(KBOI).

I used to cuss the area stations of not having a living body during the day on air, aside from morning drive and afternoon drive times. Reason they don’t? Who are they going to hire? There are few if any real pro broadcasters never mind gender that is looking for radio career jobs. Fewer, that walk in with a resume, air check, and can sit down at even the most modest of consoles and deliver a show just off the sidewalk. It ain’t here. So doing my gut feelings, we still build what was intended, have someone manage ops here, get in truck make a house for it all in Eastern Idaho, and in a year or so, fire up things on that end and link the two together.

I mentioned being in Dixie. Reason? Most, not all, but most in our beloved Dixie, are people who haven’t got their head up their butts, in fear that someone might do some evil to them. See a radio job, take it. Plus there are agencies and other human resources agencies that one can make one call that’s all, and have the whatever project done in a week or less, in the can(film canister) and out to distributors, webmasters etc. Not in Idaho, and damn well not Twin Falls. The fact that most see me and think can’t be, must always be reminded, it ain’t me. I’m but one of 10 people working in the media arm of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, and its parent the United American Independent Truckers Association. They call up the marching orders, Its my job to get the Wolf-Pack, the Knytes and who ever else, to get on board and carry out those orders. Its not my money, it’s the clubs. They say what is what , they giveth and they takeith away.

Then there is my current domestic situation. I never ever wanted nor asked to move back to Twin Falls. In fact my thoughts were that if I were to move away from the Mini Cassia area that it’d be east or south. But the gal that was my SSI Payee kept sending the wrong checks for the wrong amounts to the wrong people. Hell my final check from her was two weeks late, because it was the post offices fault? Someone was keeping the money in their drawer. Any mile, I had, had enough, so in frustration I slept in my shop, there. Mice and all. Finally got another place there was nesting in, called Big C to get him to take over those payee duties, he would but only if I moved here to Twin Falls. I did, but gave up a shop, an apartment with all paid including cable and internet all to save $40.00 a month and make sure bills were paid. Okay I’m here, some doors look to be opening , got some assistance from the VA on housing, got to finalize that Monday, which will put a few extra bucks in my pocket, this way can get a shop and all. Not to go back in the toew bizz, nope, to rejuvenate my trucks get my affairs in order, then after the radio station here is flowing like a gusher, get me and my wolf-pack outta here.

If we could only get the honesty of Dixie here out west and here in Idaho, and the carpetbaggers out.
