Do like popcicles? I do, but not cream bars, NOt just the product but a place to get ice cream sodas?

 

Finally near air time once again. There Are those hours that try your soul. Not to mention, but I will. The sooner you reach a destination, the mere small hurdles you find. Did I fuggleup or is it the computer? Depends on your point of view, but, It gets there. Started hitting some IT problems, and tweaking of audio, but I did make it so, all is good. It's really nice to be working with PMT, If Hazzard were to have an IP, connection like this, this would be the ones to choose. When PMT says 1G they mean it, now paying a bill, won't repeat WONT\K, feel like pouring that same money into the toilet. Bottom line, this toilet won't back up, know what I mean? Too bad CenturyLink/Lumen can't do this level of service, but then, it might just be that after years of low rate service, by predecessors, of CenturyLink/Lumen, is why community members gathered to create PMT. Just like over in Wyoming, they got tired of it and switched to AllWest. The only people on CenturyLink/Lumen there, are only there on CL/Lumen because AllWest hasn't stretched a line there. No wonder, CenturyLink/Lumen got sold off, from a ton of areas across the nation. 












Now I have heard around our valley and outside of it that we as an organization of Marine/Navy gearheads, that many though the radio gig, and all the rest was dead. Or hurting. Not so. While the Pandemic, slowed us down, and the fact I had to turn loose, a bunch of our former front office staff, due to no if any income coming in, but the only reason they weren't paid, is they did little to go out and cold call businesses to buy advertising to support the station/network. Money, for you that haven't heard, does not fall off trees. You have to work for it. This WOKE, and such junk, is part of it, still, if these seat covers wanted to make money, why not put in a stake in it, work for Sweat Equity. In essence, the better the station did or does, the better that way, they could have done. For every $100.00 they sold in ads, they could have made $20.00. Not once did any of them, jump in and say, show me the studio op, and we do a show. I couldn't bill anything, because we had little if anything to bill for. You can't lie, you can't fake it, at least not with either the WolfPack and/or the Knytes. But at least we weathered idiotic, salespeople at CL/Lumen, bad feelings of former prospect, radio staff, we made it through, and now its time for us to earn your trust back. 





Now to the main topic here. I love popsicles. No matter what frozen flavor it might be. Now then: HazzardAyre, which for most of you who don't know, is HazzardAyre, is just a unification handle, of Hazzard County, Confederate, high octane outlaw radio, combined to military mostly Navy/Marine pilots and warbird enthusiasts. Call it a blend of shine, with military cooking(flying) and that's HazzardAyre(air). A new show at 08:00 on: ayrewolffm.com

Goodbye for a few weeks, taking time to relocate the studio for KNYT FM, and to relocate my brain to drain. And What Happened to Emmy And Haylee?

 


It's once again pack and move, but it has to be done. Not because I want to, but an outrageous bill of nearly $7,000.00 due they think to CenturyLink/Lumen. Quite honestly I hate paying anything that high, but I wouldn't mind paying that bill if in fact the services we ordered from them was really what we got. Nope, I'm lucky if I get near the 50/50 connection let alone the 1 gig service we ordered. I told them, there was 8 computers and visions of a Online TV station(HazzardAyre TV). But nope only 50/50. So after my last stroke a few days ago, and looking at that big spotlight above my head laying on that hospital bed I said changes need to be made. Anthony and our other attorney will be filing the court papers for the eventual suit, that will draw in at least $700k, in repayment of all our losses and that will allow me to pay the ladies we had contracted to work here, that I had to let go, because of all the disruptions by CenturyLink's crews. Then came the fiber. Yea they got it ran in here, all were enthusiastic on getting 1gig, but alas no 1gig. An account manager that we could rather I could never get on the phone, let alone get a return call from, then Mr. Franco splits, his manager became our manager, and again no return phone calls. The thing goes on and on, and on. There really needs to be a filing(and yes I will) a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, Justice Department, and the FCC. There ought and I think there is one, an agency that oversees, this kind of company. At least regulates them. Thankfully we have contracted with a local here, based in nearby Filer, Idaho, to handle the Internet for us at the speed and broadband abilities that we need, not what some dork, at a company that has its sales amongst others departments based in Phoenix Arizona. 

Okay then: Looks like Biden dropped a real load of manure. This nation has just been kicked in the nuts. The withdrawal, of our military from all parts of Afgaininistan, was stupid, in its course of action. Taliban is not going to make this easy, many of even our squadron are trapped over there until some idiot here in DC can figure out a plan to get em out. Saw Trump on Hannity last night. Not that I was ever a big Trump supporter, but the thing is he would not have done the withdrawal, the way Biden has done it, and Biden's staff from Press Sec, to many others, have more than egg on their faces. One of the reasons I have been twitterpaited so badly here lately is with this fiasco of Biden's, I'm waiting on a phone call from the State Department to go over there to deploy a bit of diplomacy. 


So, as it is due to some major miscommunications from a company that was built on Communications remember MaBell? I will not be in your radio monitoring device until about the last week of November. I could be on sooner but come the middle of October, I'll be in Vegas at the NAB Convention. Then should be on tap to get back on the air. Now Last but not the least here.




What happened to Emmy and Sweet Haylee? Seams that BadAss Becky threw them to the curb. It would also seam that BABS shuts off those who upstage her. Which Emmy and Haylee does very well. Don't know about Emmy because she hardly speaks, if at all. But what I have seen and heard and ya'll have too, since I have aired so many of her appearances on my shows, Haylee could really be a major celeb host. I'd sure as hell hire her in a Hazzard second. So the big ? is: 

 is up with that? Any way big day all day. What's groovy though as it is, I don't have to spend all the night sweating like I'm in a sauna, two, my nerves can unravel, and three having a local telecom to take care of us, I won't be in the hospital because of the stress of dealing with CenturyLink/Lumen anymore.

At 06:00 I just died, and am barely functioning even at this hour.

 


Usually, I'm on a quest to be on the air, every night, all night. Over the last month, that regularity has not been that regular. The working conditions, here in the studio on Ash Street North, have been such that the AC as hard as it tries, just can't correct the infusions of thermal energy. In short, it's just been too dang hot to work inside the studio, let alone get anything uploaded. That's going to be cured here in a few weeks as we move to other quarters, on Twin Falls' main street. But it goes even further, I have been plagued by weekly heat strokes, sunstrokes, ingesting smoke from fighting fire from the air. Hey, I'm 62 on the skyway of life, and what didn't bother before, does now. Most days I don't even know if I'm awake or asleep. The only harbor in the sky of turbulence is this radio studio. That being that it comes back, that from 16:00 to near 03:00 it's just too dang hot to work. So we are restructuring our schedule to get me on air while the weather and physical conditions are of such that I can deliver my best. Oh yes, there are lawsuits being set up to making those responsible from landlord to Lumen, to others that is going to give restitution to the WolfPack, as well as the Knytes. So that's why I'm not regular right now on air. 

The bottom line, hell is going to be paid, and the Reaper is not that far off. 

Was it just my imagination? Or is the idea that Newsmax, as well as Fox News, and a few all news networks, at least on TV, having problems, in the technical department. While you don't see it, there are techs that are catching heat(no pun intended) for snubs on guest infusions, aka streams from guests panelists. Not to make matters worse, the big Cyber Symposium, that Mike Lindell, was throwing for 3 days? He says debauchery, I say some techs that are not that too tightly wrapped. Which brings me to this. There's Podcasters, hobbyists, and such, in reality, people trying to being in radio or homebred broadcasting that have no real basic broadcasting skills. Not just in the studio, in front of the mic, but those behind it. This is one of the things that We were championing, over two decades ago. I remember the first, stream, albeit primal, still I connected a ISDN Phone line to a makeshift, console, in our home near Hazzard. Through KART AM 1400, with Larry Hunter in the studio at KART. The first real broadcast stream. Yup, WE DID IT. Satellite TV? We already had that operational in the mid-1980s. The list goes on, but we were doing this long before many of the explosion that is today's webcasts/podcasts. There is a difference. Why? Nobody else would carry it in our area, including much of Metro-Utah wouldn't. And as its been said, more today, just as in Field of Dreams, If we build it they will come. We built it, they came, but it would be nice to get a bit of the credit. 

As it is, as the afternoon grows it's now 91 degrees, I'm wet as a virgin on prom night, So sitting by a mini AC unit. 

See ya'll tonight.

Hey Granny I think Jethro broke the door on the refridgadeezer. And Mike Lindel, fell on his face oops should have recruited the HazzardAyre A-Team

 



So got food money today, loaded the mini Fridge, but now can't close the door. So a piece of wood, leaned it against the door all is good. 

So been watching for near a month or so promos on a Cyber symposium, commanded by Mike Lindel the MyPillow fame. What he has done is launch his own channel, and this Symposium, was a method to launch the channel. Look I think that with all the stores from Bath & Beyond to Walmart boycotted his products was wrong. After all its not the products that's at fault. From what I understand are terrific, although I have not bought one. That being the sitch, why condemn Mike? When your unaccessible your going to get a backhanded Jap Slap. But stealing broadcast gear(been there had that happen) trashing the facility, and having your reputation trashed to the point, you withdraw to the point you nearly say to yourself, piss on it. And just saying I'm going to sustain myself, and forget any kind of duty to the public. But then you realize that our organizations are Veterans, fighting for Veterans, no civilians attempting to give something back that they never had to begin with. No matter race, creed, or ethnic heritage, the WolfPack has always been of the Confederacy, that needs to be recognized as the solution of a society and Government that has, is, and will continue to shit on every American. We too are working to launch our TV channel, on Cable/Satellite. But having the technical problems Mike had, Mike should have recruited the HazzardAyre A-Team. 

Full show coming up at 05:00 Friday morning.

See ya'll then.

I'm sorry Twin Falls IHOP, but I don't like to freeze while I eat.

 


Did a drive about this morning, and even overspending, decided to cruise into our local IHOP. Nothing big there. After 20 minutes of getting seated, in a corner under an AC vent, finally got my order. Shoveled that 2+2+2 breakfast. Normally I'd sit still and observe the locals, and do a depth finder of people verbalizing the local jibber-jabber, I finally just got up. They must have had that AC on the lowest setting in the place. Shit, I was freezing, although it wasn't yet warming up very much it was warm enough to finally I did warmup. Of course, I'm hip to the grip that many companies even sit down food eateries are having troubles getting GOOD help. Face it, people would rather sit at home, get fat, collect from the Government, and just be lazy. Now there's those that will point the finger and say well that's what you do. Correction friends, I collect a Military pension, not a big handout. Number 2; pandemic or no pandemic, myself, the radio group, of the WolfPack, The engineering staff for HazzardAyre Media, and the Knytes, have not just parked our ass and not been doing our work. 


We as a network are growing faster than musturd seed in a pyle of manure. We are looking at three new facilities to house all 5 flagship radio stations, as well as HazzardAyre TV coming in April of 2022. As such when I see a budding news delivery person, I feel the need to give them a bit of an encouragement boost. One of those, is Emerald Robinson, of NewsMax TV, 
her delivery and professional mannerisms on-air are top shelf all the way. As such, I launched a fan page and group for and of Emerald. No, I do not, let me repeat, do NOT have a stiffy on her, but I do admire her. My question is always why can't we attract such pro-media talent? Many have applied, but few have the needed skills. KNYT FM, KTOW, KSOA, AM 1240, and of course, KKOA AM are as solid a media firm, again growing fast. Some may bark, about the fiascos in hiring we had last year this time. If any of them, had truly had the skills in broadcasting, likewise did ANY real WORK, they'd have gotten paid. They didn't so we didn't pay. It's not just me having a craving of hotties in stockings. That is just not the case. I want someone to walk into the studio, get familiar with the system, and do radio. Even though 80% of that is online. 


Been off my game lately. My diabetes gets way off-kilter and I get no energy. Can't hardly drive let alone fly. The Doctor and the FAA, suspended my GAC, until my therapist, says my A1C is stable enough. So I'm grounded for a few weeks. So been catching up on office and paperwork. Figuring out who we can pay, and those that need to put off for a spell. Not, that there is not money, but a severe downside of our sponsors being still on pandemic freeze that can't pay us so we're stuck. 

Any myle, HazzardAyre Ayre Wyng Radio, on tonight overnight on: ayrewolffm.com

It's Not a nipple its a cute little bug.

 


At least they cause me to weirdly thoughts.
Never fails, I choose a font from Google's Blogger and it always goes to one simple font, weird. Did not go to the Church thing today, but am working to our new digs downtown for the radio gig. 3Rd Floor, groovy baby yea, as American Spy said it. Okay then, been watching these little red and black bugs. It says on a search that it's a concrete tick. Why? What are they attracted to in concrete? Sezz they are not harmful to Humanoids, but they are cute anyway. Took a photo which now I can't find, but it's so tiny, at first you think that you're looking at a nipple 
it's a tiny insect.
Cute little bugs anyway. Haven't seen my tiny Killdeers guess these tiny sweethearts are where there is water. They are part of the Plover species, and really cute. Their interactions with me are two that show up just after I water the lawn here at the RodeHouse. 


These little guys come right up to me and chow down on the bugs. If you don't want trouble with me here at the RodeHouse Leave 
my tiny Killdeers alone.
Alrighty then, moving on here. Got in a bit of air yesterday, with our new experimental byrds. It's still VFR for a bit, as a few gauges and such need to be reworked, but at least it flys. Been wondering talking flies, Can they hear? 
The answer? yes, but not well. Most long ways away are scanned and interrupted through, vibrations hitting their antennas. With that said, I wondered, if they can hear, can they understand us? Or is it just tonal audio? 

By next Friday coming, we will be off the air for a time, on online broadcasts. However, we are still on-air over the air locally at FM 93.3, and 105.7 FM. Last here and I really want to dig into this manure again, because the sitch uprooted again this afternoon. Over at Java the coffee house, one of the snippy, not forked enough, had to bring up the Toew Smooch 
So I'd enjoy here the sitch.

It is a one-of-a-kind hand-off TV slogan shot to enhance the concept that here at Cooter's Toewing, we love doing the job of toewing. However many peeps have been either confused about the issue, or ignore it. So been working on a few alternative concepts that we hope gets that idea across to a really dimwhitted local public. The image we are straining the juice from is this>
With that said the Toew Smooch was and is one of our tags copyrighted, but for us. It identifies us, it is different, It is not wyld sexual advance, as so many have it out to be. It's not an everyday sitch, nor is it a requirement to working here. I get a small but not constant inputed thrill, butt it's not what I'm into. I also bring this up, for another reason. There are a few of these hussies that attempted to run over things Hazzard last year about this time. Thing is and it was short, two airings, on two topics. Nothing more. The rest all just sat here, playing with their cell phones, and doing a bullshit session. I'm not paying for no work being done. The sitch is they could have been out gaining traction for the station flushing out people that might want to advertise their wares, on our station. For every $100.00 they could have generated, there was a commission of $20.00. They could have been watching and learning how I build the graphics for the streaming side of HazzardAyre, and all the rest, plus what pics we build for this blog as well as our printed newspaper, The Hazzard County Gazzette. Did they do that? No. Did they even watch as I did a show? So they could do their own shows? Nope. What I saw was three women, sitting around messing with their cell phones, doing child care, and talking about how damn bad their love life was. I'm not paying for that. I pay folks of any gender, to work. Not just sitting flogging the dog. More on this on the morning cyde edition, of The Crazy(butt not stupid) Cooter Bad Ass, 'd Radio show, heard online on: ayrewolffm.com and on KnyteWolf Radio.com 
Join me then 06:00 . TaTa.

Wouldn't it be nice if Edge would play videos where it wasn't bassackwards?

 


So started watching Ice Pilots, again, online. That part is cool. What isn't cool, is anytime there are graphics or writing to read, its all bassackwards, why? Did someone get out a cheap video camera, record the episodes, and then re-air them? Dang it, do it right. Makes ya'll wonder, don't it? Even the steering wheels on the vans are all on the right side. I never knew that drivers in Canada, drove on the right side, always thought that Canadians drove on the left like we do in America. At least that is what I see on HWR 401? Oh well. Hey, I'm in seventh Heaven here with being able to rewatch what I like, but can't they adjust the intake options? Oh well. Makes one wonder about Win 11. Really? Do we need a Win 11? Hell we just got over the pains of switching from Win 7 which was a better OS than Win 10, Win 7 was more stable than Win 10 is, Win 7 had more toys. Oh well. What will we get in 11, that is not already on Win 10? My impressions, and my opinion, how about, bringing, back LiveWriter as standard fare, as well as Sound Recorder. Not Mic recorder. Sound Recorder allowed you to record anything and everything audio, going through your sound card. And last but not, least? I want Clippy back in Office 365. Then I'll be all the more ambitious than I am now. 


So was in my lone study room, the Outhouse, and saw where Xperi, is working with the NAB, on a thing called PILOT, to get more OTA Radio into the dash of cars. But nowhere is any noise being are words saying anything about, getting better and all radio into new TRUCK, Heavy truck dashboards. Or enhancing the sound systems of those new sound systems. The environment of a heavy rigs interior is much different than that of a fancy Benz, yet who can deny, that of all commuters, that a man(or woman) in a rig, for 24 hours, rolling a 1,000 plus miles is a good target of OTA radio? When most if not all the trucking radio overnight shows, beit, Bozo, Dave Nimo, Me any of us. When most(except us) shut down from OTA radio and went XM/Sirius most considered in truck builders that the sound systems were no longer important. Ever think of what it would be like not to have us, George Noray, and Coast-to-Coast on, a standard radio? Something we never quit working on. Now we're talking in the industry about digital radio. AM Digital. Stereo AM. Nothing new there, we had Stereo, AM in the late '80s to mid-'90s. It was called C-Quam. The commitment I made both the nations Truckers and us tow op's, has never changed, it is my second calling. I got tired of the fact that there was all these shows and programs overnight for truckers, yet few were aimed at us in the west. The shows had called in, options, but by the time you found a phone, paid the $3.00 to make that call,(this was before cell phones) the truckers show was no longer LIVE, they were all home, and you heard the first 3 hours as a rerun. Not good. I remember and the images are very poignant. I was just rolling out from hauling fat bulls from Wisdom Montana back here for winter, in Twin Falls. After an all-night ballet of bad luck, Mel says, "Let's sleep". He took the bunk, I slept on the front seat, with a foot on the throttle pedal, keeping some form of heat flowing. So, Bill Mack's show was fading out and caught the final redux of LDS Conference that night. Right there, in Spencer, just outside of Dubois Idaho, I thought, why doesn't someone who is in the transportation business, driving, do radio for other heavy haulers? Like My Dad taught me, When you're pointing your finger at someone else, remember there are 3 fingers of your hand pointing back at you. Why not be that someone? The rest is history. Over the years Long Haul Radio as it was called then, evolving into Dixie-Diesel Radio, to HazzardAyre/Maximum Overdrive, that promise has never been completely off-air. In years back we found a way to deliver, both over the air to Truckers radio that is for you and I trying to make a living driving a truck, to you online. The market changed, the vision expanded. So we set up 18 sub-stations, near where the Knytes/WolfPack, had charters and aired over the air. Of course, the Confederate cause, and for us, Military aviators came along, but who is barking at the radio, industry about truck fidelity, in sound systems? Nobody. At this year's NAB, in Vegas, we will be. On the air at 18:00. See ya'll then.
