I truly hate assholes, and it seems as though there are more of them every day. For many , its the fact that it has to shine, like a chrome and glitter, but chrome and glitter is not always going to get you out of a snow bank, or up a 70 degree canyon.
Today a friend of Rick's my partner at the shop,(more on that in a minute) but the bunch was unloading some firewood. There was a chrome wheel in the snow and frozen, they jerked it out, but not before it took out a chunk of Rick's friend's Ford. There was some talk back and forth. Much of it having to do with LexiBelle, not being able and all. I wanted to smack the guy, sure LexiBelle would never make it at a pride and polish show, but I'd like to see this friend's Ford do what LexiBelle has done, under the conditions LexiBelle has done them. Buried deep in mud and near quick sludge up to the door handles pullin a one and a half GI truck out of the river bottoms, near Hazzard. Up a 70 degree mountain side, a truck 3 times heavier than LexiBelle, A Subaru Brat out of the deep mud near 1000 springs resort just outside of Hazzard, or a 5 ton, plus Chevy spud truck loaded with 98 sacks of spuds in the back with a single dually flat inside. Or pulling trees over even with LexiBelle's nose in the air, but still pulled those old Russian Olive trees down, the list goes on and on, but thing is, even as bad as she looks, she's still up for the job, and ready to take on anything, her size and heavier. It's like when young folks bad mouth older people, just because there's snow on the roof don't mean there ain't no fire in the furnace, its not the size of the Wolf, in the fight, its how much fight there is in the wolf. LexiBelle has recovered Evil Knievels rocket motorcycle from the Snake River Canyon, and done jobs many ten times her size would haven't even tried. Yes there's a bunch of cosmetic and some mechanical work to do, but make no mistake, LexiBelle is ready for action,
Oh and to my friend Rick, remember partner on our way home, LexiBelle left your truck in the dust. Don't judge since your judgement day may be nigh and who says old means over?

Some run from the light, as for me I run , no, I charge right into it. Being on stage, acting, playing music or for that matter TV and especially radio, has always been a passion. Even as far back as age 6 when our air club that was supported in part by Cub Scout pack 303 of Layton Utah, we had this thing we did at Admiral Bernie's show on KSL 5, (many can't remember theat even Lori Prichard) but Bernie saw what I had and told my parents not to discourage my talent. Or at least encourage me getting into the business. By 6th grade I was already playing drums in a garage band, and doing bit commercials. At age 7, went to the Fireman Frank show at KCPX-4(now KTVX) met with the staff of then hit pop rock station KCPX's program director Wooly Waldron, and began in broadcasting. So there I was , doing radio weekends, playing music, and of course going through flight training. That was my chosen careers. The tow truck, and all that came way later.
There was this play that Miss Egbert at then Central Davis Junior High in Layton Utah, I had to wear a dress and put on make up, especially lipstick, stockings and heels. Hey the lipstick tasted like I just ate a Crayon, the stockings kept slipping down and the heels made me feel like I was walking downhill all of the time, but I was on stage, in front of an audience and was loving the heck out of it. As a child I was a bit too shy, I'd hide from those that I didn't know, plus it'd me that had to warm up to other people, not the other way around like it is now. Back then, if strange people came to the house, I'd find the biggest chair or hiding place and there I'd remain until the stranger left. But when our air club the initial formation of the AyreWolvez long before the TV show Airwolf, but the wolf pack needed me, and I stepped up, and havent looked back. I love public speaking, public performing, I thirst after it, the more publicity the better. Not all are like that, but nothing cures fear like facing that what you fear head on. I have a friend who is of the same LDS Ward of mine, his name is Dave. A few weeks ago now, he came to me, asking could I help him in his Disc Jockey aspirations for a contest being put up , by Wal-Mart. I said sure. Then last week or so he wanted to dive into HazzardAyre Radio and what we are continually building, after all as its been said, he who does not grow dies. Haven't heard from Dave, nor Vern since. One on air, the other engineering. There is this fever growing here in the west, the old conservative attitudes and being stuck up as far as TV and radio, is eroding. What is taking place is the rising of what was once taboo, into more of a popular view. To give you an example, once Bozo the Clown and the Howdy Duddie Show was seen as too extreme. What is now HazzardAyre, broke those molds. The first in the region to openly air Dr. Ruth's Sexually Speaking, the first to air Dr. Demento, the first to be that not always LDS approved radio. Not always nasty, but pushing against and bursting through the envelope. Just like I did in the air I now do on the air. But I'm getting off topic. I love that spotlight, I thirst for it, and I take the chance to be in front of the camera and behind the mic as much as I can.
For those looking for that spotlight, we have open doors and welcome chairs, but you have to want it, you have to hunger for it, not just the cash stash, but the art of the craft.

By the end or near end of a 500 mile race, I'm about to sleep, today wasn't that day. Number 17 was predicted to win todays Daytona 500, yet withing a half mile from the flag, Denny Hamlin, pushes over and kazinga wins the 500 , but only by milliseconds. It was tight, and unfortunately our sweet heart got taken out through a bump, I did notice several things there and what is going on there. Danica is just not racking up wins, usually qualifies at near the rear of the pack, and does little to fight to get in the top 10 , let alone the top 5. I remember Chad Lyttle number 23 of when Deere and Company sponsored a Rousche Racing car. Chad always finished, but so far back that little if any mention was made of him throughtout a race, but I also noticed he was the talk of the arena, when he scored the 500 in 1996. Shortly after that Deere was about to back out of NASCAR until a long conversation between the Knytes/AyreWolvez and Deere, and Dixie Deere Racing/Motorsports was constructed to run the Truck series circuit. Number 69 is the number assigned by NASCAR to Dixie/Deere, and a ride is currently being put together along with a team, and a driver for 2017.
Any mile, hitting the rack to be back at 23:00(11:00PM) for RodeWolf Radio, and of course at 07:00 Monday HazzardAyre Radio Early edition.

StarFleet E Brief Stardate: 93734.03 Sunshine can even illuminate the darkest night. A acquaitinence I have not seen in many star miles, intersected my dimension at Wal-Mart. Upon acquiring provisions at said mass market consumer retail facility we ventured back here to the RoadHouse, and have been enjoying each others togetherness for the last several hours.
Future insections will be upcoming. As such the Knytes Pow Wow was rescheduled until next week here at the RoadHouse. Details on other matters in the mid morning. For Now I will bid you a pleasant excursion through Heavenly atmospheres.

I don't think anyone would claim Evanston Wyoming as a Utopia. In fact any kind of serious destination. Most consider Evanston as a place, grab snacks, take a piss then hit the Interstate. For those that do reside here, the smart ones are those who figure out how to peel away the shell and get out of here. it's a once you get in here, it becomes difficult to strip away the financial hardships that make an escape trickey. Once you do, you can't think of any good reason to return. Unless you get conned and told hey there's a radio utopia here. But then they along with a few others get put in jail due to a serious fraud con, and the Knytes holding the bag. Mainly me. So you try to improve the groove here, only to find all too many who are willing to march to a different drummer, much less dance to a different band. Poking ones head out of a protective shell is really difficult for many here. It's a better to be safe, caution to error, mentality. No matter how much bait nor coaxing you do, they just wont give an inch. So you either keep trying to truck uphill in no go gear, or find a way outta here. Which is the procedure here at HazzardAyre, as well as HCC.
Okay then, yesterday saw that the lights on our CenturyLink IP connection not functioning, so with two calls, got it back up, with the thing that CenturyLink would send me a online survey, ranking how they did. The second gal hung in there with me, but some call center tech guy left the phone and never did return. Guess it wasn't his day. Dig this still today, no survey. It's no big surprise, since CenturyLink knows how I feel about them. There was once a responsive innovative team that was part of the staff of what was Mountain Bell, in Twin Falls. It did not take years to excite MB subscribers in and near Hazzard to get direct dial phones, and perks, it took talking to those in that office in Twin Falls when Mountain Bell still listened. I have said for years, there needs to be one who buys, CenturyLink aka Mountain Bell or Qwest, and rebuilds an ancient communications system, plus staff it with people who live here, not in sunny warm Las Vegas or California somewhere., And also the ones you call to get help, are first American, and two really work for CenturyLink, not some farmed out call center.
Now last but not least, woke up this morning in a rather bad mood, from all the goings on yesterday, with my former partner at our shop and all, however I want to finish out here, by saying a good job, involving three agencies and the professional way that Hutch, Linda at the Uinta County Sheriffs office and SGT Shillcox of the Evanston PD. who prevented something turning very bloody and ugly, and made a condition safe again. So my thanks to ya'll.
Finalizing here this morning, HazzardAyre/SpeedWrench Radio www.livestream.com/speedwrenchradio will air today at 16:00 , as I need to go to see the Doctor, and need to catch some sleep, between now and then.
