But give me a Holmes

I had the fun of rolling on a toew call with friend Jared today.

Not a big deal just a scoop up for repair. We got there lowered the stinger and all, got hooked and strapped down.

After looking at it all, I know for a fact I could have done the same call with LexiBelle, sling and chains , in half the hook up time. Plus Jared never used his tag lights. Really?

Any way what ever works.

So as soon as LexiBelle gets a fuel bladder under her, the contest is on, between Jared’s rig and LexiBelle, film will be on YouTube.

Things going good, but Christmas is going to be scarce. By the time I pay everything with Charlie at the helm, as my new payee, I’ll be lucky if I have $43.00 left over, but we’ll see.

Until Thursday,

Knytes Knotes

Here I am wide awake when I should be sleeping, considering I need to be vertical at 07:00 hours.

Good news from the FAA, and all.

The FAA no longer requires a specific weight limit or maximum of a pilot.

Yeppers , I can begin to get back into the cockpit.

I had an ephany the other night, restore LexiBelle, for prosperity sake, but get completely out of toewing and concentrate on flying.

However with hangar space and all being at a premium I am putting that off for a tyme.

Also thinking of going north of the river to re-establish Dixie Toewing in either Gooding, Bliss, or Hagerman.

We see. Still have everything concerning that in Burley.

Last got here to the house that Charlie is renting me, although there is some cosmetic problems such as a big hole near the toilet. Why punch a hole that big for a tiny pipe? I don't know but hey this is better than what I lived in rather existed in , in Burley, so hey.

Anymile, Internet time is critical here so will close.

See ya’ll in the ayre.

For the lack of , and did you catch SOA last night?

Here I am awake, when I should be sleeping in anticipation of the part exit out of Burley, yet besides a near migraine I’m awake.

Reason? Trying to get everything done computer and Internet wize done, before I pull the plug in the afternoon, and thus no Internet for awhile. Granted the fact that I could, quit the shop that would give me Internet. But with the work I need to do to LexiBelle>>>> from the fuel tank to all over makeover, keeping the shop is needed. Course couldn’t have LexiBelle out in the cold either.

So yes been procrastinating some but by tonight I’ll be sleeping in Twin Falls not Burley.

Now B4 anybody panics here, while I’ll be bedding down in Twin , HCC, as well as Dixie Toewing will remain here and I’ll be working to build that up from over there, plus putting in duty time for the club, where resources albeit still limited, but more resources are available.

Speaking of the club, did You see SOA last night? I though Juice was toast, but Jax saved him, then there was Otto who axed that duty nurse. Right in front of Tera. Watch to see if Tera now decides to take that other job, and her and Jax split as a cliff hanger for season 6. Watch too and see if Clay doesn’t axe Juice or the other way around, then keep us waiting until next fall to catch the rest of the story.

Last, a Facebook acquaintance , Aneesh, had some pics of beautiful gals. 201 or them, many duplicates, but out of that 201 only 8 worth a second look? Hey Aneesh old buddy, include some Hazzard and southern honey in there.

Any mile, got my last radio shows to do here and then get ready to unplug tonight, so gotta get up at noon.

See ya’ll on the big road,

for the want of xp

Help for the visually impaired my ass. Then there is the bitmap of Windows 7 that is quirky to say the least. Lack of older fonts and type styles and you get the drift.

Now here during the hurried Christmas season the idiogeeks at Microsoft introduces Windows 8. More bullshit to learn. I have an idea, how about Windows XP Part Duex, return the user friendly abilities of XP, combined with what's in 7 and make Windows Office assistant Clippy available again as standard fare and I’d buy that.

Now if you have all damn day to fart around with a computer or are so devoid a life that you need to nurse your computer fine. For the rest of us, give me things I can use, get rid of what ain’t and make wrenching on the damn thing easy so I don’t have to call the damn geek squad every time I need to rework stuff.

Okay then, the gal we had plugged in for a resident hen for Burley copped out, as I was sure she would. She wasn’t a bad kid, but a kid none the less, and not a very good fit for a toew service from Hazzard County, ran by an MC. SAMCRO MC to be exact, Knytes-of-Anarchy to be more exact. The good part her bugging out was good since I didn’t have to give her the boot.

Speaking of Hazzard.

The move to Twin Falls, allows a bit closer ability to resurrect things club wise in Hazzard. So ye old Crazy C, here aka AyreWolf , will be off line for a couple of months doing that.

So until after the first of the year , ya’ll have a good Thanx Giving, Merry Christmas and all that, may the next few years of Obama be better for us all. Speaking of which, I did not go out and vote, why? Simple; no Confederate States Party candidates on the ballot. When there is, I’ll vote.

What about Confederate’s Veterans on Veterans Day?

So was digging online, only to find our honey in Gooding didn’t want to remain with the club. So as such, thanx for the wifi, and grub while I was there, but aside of that, see ya’ll around the galaxy.

Okay sayin that, Today was Veteran’s Day in our nation. Sadly I heard little if anything anywhere saluting those who fought in the nations bloodiest war , the war tween the states.

While it’s a known fact that there IS a Confederates Memorial Day, and honored by 9 states currently, the question is , how about honoring both living and past Confederate Veterans?

Even to the point of honoring those Confederates that have shed blood for current USA conflicts as well as those of history such as WWII.

I propose, if there isn’t a Confederates Veterans Day, we create one.

Finally, will be off line for a few weeks, heading to Twin to get things going there, so wont have Internet, but should be back up , shortly after the 1st of the year.

Until then get in touch by phone.

TBS holds onto reruns to be funny , very funny but looses traction with wedding band

Right now I should be in Twin Falls, but a power steering hose blew and wouldn’t you know it, not one dang place in Burley except the local Chevy dealer had one for a 93 S-Dime. So went to a local scrap yard, $15.00 later and a few fittings and back in order. Trouble is, shortened the available funds to finish the move.

So will move all but needed items to the shop, and weather permitting, haul the rest to Twin on Tuesday.

Okay then, watched the reruns on TBS of the Big Bang Theory which still holds onto its vigor, but then saw this new thing, called , “ The Wedding Band” some off the wall show about some misfits doing gigs for weddings.

It only took a few frames of Wedding Band to make me flip the channel.

So watched some movie about a modern era NOAH , and decided to get ready for bed.

So then got to feeling spacy, so tested my blood like a diabetic should, and mine was way high. So took my pills for same, which tastes like crap drank some milk and so that was my Saturday.

TBS is in trouble though. I don’t think either Wedding Band or the new series Cougar Town, will get past half a season, but hey some might think so.

More on the why I’m moving in my next entry.

When you just have to go

Within these blogs I try to impart the experiences I have in rolling the roads going toewing.

In the truck I see many things that just makes me scratch my head and ask, how can that be?

Then there’s those times toew trucking over rural roads.

One of the worst times is when your bladder and bowels need to unload and there just is no or very remote commodes to go in.

If your lucky in towns you can find remote potties in office buildings. I’m not talking super fancy ones, but strip mall office facilities. In there you can find pretty good accommodations. Few of the public ones say at Loves Truck stop here are good, but there is those two that have not been serviced for several hours despite the mentioning the situation to the on duty manager. Night time is better at Loves but days they flat don’t care.

But out on the cow trails it’s a different story.

Doing number one is no biggy, stop, cool off a tire and be on your way. Late at night early morning hours especially, after those Chili dogs at the Flying J in Snowville, that stretch on Highway 81 number 2 is really pushing your innerds to where you start seeing pink elephants, you need to go.

State supported rest areas are crap shoots. Yes you might find one that’s clean and well kept. Most of the time it’s a place where late night drug deals are made. Don’t want to stop there. So you start looking for a porta potty somewhere. You get to the point where all you really want to do is find a rock, grab your roll of TP and Git-R-Done.

This is fine if its summer or fall, but winter although easier to bury your mess, means cold buns.

Its really a quandary when you really have to go.

Okay , found that a few weeks ago, returning to Twin Falls, and going back into Anchors Bistro there , damn I wish they had one in Burley, but saw our great gal Emme had flown the coop to Boise. Not putting down the lovely honeys there now , but besides working at Anchors , Emme is a club associate. She’ll be missed.

Talking about having to go.

Next entry , the election .

Absolutely Locally made media

While viewer numbers are not out yet, I’m willing to wager a cup of java, that HazzardAyre TV was more informative on election results Tuesday night than our rival KMVT.

I watched both as well as was streaming KSL’s Utah coverage. In that, KSL’s coverage was nearly flaw free, where KMVT’s news department resembled a high school educational channels coverage and abilities.

I have always said, the best thing that could happen to KMVT would be for some major conglomerate or even a local independent to buy out KMVT, give the boot to a lot of the old employees and ones who can’t do the job, and go head to head with stations in Boise as well as us here at HazzardAyre.

Again, aren’t you glad You have HazzardAyre.

Gotta go but I thought I’d pass that your way as well.

Best bone up before your drowned out

While its no secret that Denny’s Restaurants are migrating into the Burley/Heyburn Idaho area, there is some contention.

Monday’s don’t expect a old town café with cheap java and grub to be Open. Both Charley’s Café and the Main Street Grill to be closed. Only option? Wayside Café near Heyburn headed yonder to Rupert. However I tweaked up the Wayside Café online, and found no good reviews. I can follow that up with a rumor mill as well. So on that we have a major player in family café’s moving in.

For us in automotive circles there was sheer panic when Wal-Mart here opened up their auto care shop. Many local techs thought we can’t keep up or compete. I say bullshit, find what you do, that they don’t , concentrate on that and you beat Wal-Mart. Now days that don’t take much. Since the big Wal-Mart in Twin Falls opened up much of the inventory and product offerings that were in the Burley and Jerome stores are fewer and more available in Twin Falls’ store.

I hear that PeP Boy’s is eyeing both Twin Falls and Burley. A satellite branch of the Utah franchises. Does this concern Hazzard County Choppers? Certainly not, since PeP Boys don’t build bikes, don’t see bike parts and nobody here fixes and services Harley Davidson, Triumphs , Nortons. Only one other bike shop in the area does HD and they are in Twin , and nobody else does British name plates, but that’s just us.

Does PeP Boys or Wal-Mart tow? No, but Dixie A1 Toewing does. hat’s us.

Sure the big boys play hard, best thing to do is find the holes in their armor and do what they don’t.

Trouble is fewer still are ready to pony up to that.

It’s just like café’s and bars. Two not open on Mondays , and the rest of the week only until 4:00pm, where do you go when ya’ll just want a $1.00 cup of java? Go to the Wayside Café and be insulted , or pay $2.00 at JB’s.

Is there an answer here?

Yes its called the Reaper, and its opening here in Burley, but that’s a story for another time. As the Reaper will be in two locations, in Twin falls where Rocks was on South Shoshone, and on East Main next to our show room across from Wells Fargo Bank.

But that’s just us.

I drive down the main cruize roads in town and see a site if serious urban blight. Business’s that come here from Utah and eastern Idaho, then find that many here just do not want to support corporate America and even mom & pop stores. So these business’s relocate to Twin Falls. But do local business leaders care? Apparently not. Just like the local newspapers. I was willing (still am) ready to throw down the olive branch and work together, neither of them have came to the shop. None have called to say lets try it once more. Nor the TV station of one but that too is a story for another time.

As election day nears and I’m not voting at all since there is no one or anything I want to vote for, since none are running on the Confederate States Party, its not the President or Congress or Senate, both state or Washington DC hurting the economy, its these stuck up, smug, stubborn, arrogant and ignorant people who despite it all will not welcome or embrace change, that will not look out of the box.

As long as there is someone here willing to sell a field tractor, a shovel, and seed for those taters and alp alpha there will be Burley. Small but still here. While Twin Falls starts to bloom. It wasn’t always that way in Twin Falls.

That in my next installment.

More daring, less timid or just more ambitious?

I was in the middle of operations here, when I get a phone call from a prospective female talent for our poster calendar project for two charities we are working on here in the Knytes.

Now I have gotten responses by many but few show up.

But she in fact showed up, at Stokes in the Deli, we had lunch. She’s in, 1 down 6 more to go, but here’s the short of it.

Here is a gal with 3 kids willing to jump in, drives from Jerome here to interview, with toddler in tow and yet here in Burley the bunch are so smug and stuck up they can’t even give someone a phone call or email.

Is it people that live west of Burley, more energetic and less fussy? Less Stuck up, than Burley and willing to help with a good cause?

Where else except maybe a porn show for narcotics at the local bar on a Saturday night , can some gal make a couple hundred bucks standing with a truck, bike etc? Yet shy of begging, which I will not do, I can’t get a in Mini Cassia gal to photograph, or video tape etc with one of our rigs. Some people are not so timid around us who ride two wheels, some are too MOMO to stand up and strut their stuff. Yet the same gals will party on Saturday, worship on Sundays and say I’m all bad. Question is ; what have you done for Hazzard County lately, more over Burley women are YOU, TOO GOOD, to show off for charity?

This is why Twin Falls and the immediate area is growing and Burley will soon be a living Ghost town.

General Salutes

While the General Lee is the eternal most famous hot rod on planet earth and the one thing that says HERE’S HAZZARD in all the episodes, of the Dukes, there was none that celebrated the name sake General Robert E Lee.

However there was one that brought to light General Stonewall Jackson, remember the one where the battle sword was swiped to ransomed the insurance company by Boss Hogg? With that said the whole celebration was for General Lee’s right hand man and compatriot General Jackson. That was most notably the only historical episode celebrating the Confederate South.

In about the 3rd year of the Dukes-of-Hazzard and the 3rd year of the existence of the Knytes we thought hey, lets bring to spotlight our southern heritage and open the door for those that wanted to honor their southern history.

Then there was the point of contention between the two Duke boys, first there was Bo & Luke, then Coy & Vance Duke. Mostly over money.

It was at that point the Knytes said, let’s look beyond the focused family(the Dukes) and look into what its like to live in a medium sized southern community. Enter in looking beyond the Dukes and more into living and loving Hazzard.

In the same way, while many are fans of the Dukes, the Knytes are more fans of Hazzard County. So much so that in 1985 the Idaho state legislature passed an amendment that allowed the tiny southern Idaho town of Hagerman to gain a second name, yes, Hazzard. And that lives on today.

The area, that encompassed our 300 acre farm, that of Sand Springs and area from the Nation Federal Game farm to West-Point, to Wendell Idaho, was in fact made officially Hazzard County, based on the foundation of the town on TV, yes Hazzard.

The question was raised, why the Children’s Miracle Network? Simple; it is a main charity of Bo-Duke, but there are others we work for. The Shriners Children’ Hospital in Salt Lake City, mainly because my Dad was a 32nd degree Shriner, Two the St. Jude’ Hospital, and the USMC’s Toys for Tots program. Simply centered, the Toys For Tots is an USMC project. I am a reassigned Marine, and in the series, Luke Duke was a Marine. As such a project of Tom Wopat.

Just like there was a need to go beyond the Dukes, and explore the rest of Hazzard County, the Knytes go beyond individual Dukes characters and do more than write blogs and bark on some Facebook page. The fact that the Dukes ever came back on , on TNN, now Spike, and CMT, was not just a few fans, but the constant howling of this old wolf, and the Knytes going to every damn TV station in the west buying TV time to run reruns of the Dukes when the show was in syndication.

The question I have for so called fans is what have you done for Hazzard County lately?

Big day Monday, auditioning talent for the movie HazzardAyre, that tells our story, and brings to light, when Hazzard County joins AyreWolf(AirWolf).

scantly cladded women in Hazzard County, Don’t like the heat? Get out of Hazzard!!!

Scantly cladded women objectionable? I heard this from a supposed Hazzard fan.

Anyone that lived for and within that era and environment knows even sweet Daisy was to some racy or a bit too spicy. Maybe the gal from Washington State is more a fan of John in Smallville, rather than Hazzard. I also saw she said she had rebel flags on her wall and license plates. Groovy , so do I, plus on the hoods of every ride I own, waving from a flag pole in front of the shop, in the shop, on my wall, and on my bed.

When it comes to Hazzard, through that the Knytes have made the modern confederacy and carry the message. How many truly tune into Dixie Broadcasting every day, to hear the speeches and talks? The thing goes so what you see a bit of female flesh. The only ones against such things are women who don’t have that package and have self confidence and self esteem issues.

I have also said that its one thing to be a Dukes fan, its another to be more than a Dukes fan, but a Hazzard fan, and live in Hazzard. The latter is what it means to be a Knyte or one of the Ladies of the Knytes.

Went into Carls Junior, here in Heyburn, saw these two honey’s that I’d love to photograph for the calendar, wouldn’t ya’ll know it, didn’t have a business card and was covered in oil and grease.

But told em to look me up, think they might.

Have auditions for new visual talent on Monday, hoping for a great turn out.

On this, and I have said this so many times I feel I get chaps.

I would love it to where here in our area there was a central source that one could post or list a media job, be it radio on air talent, or visual acting modeling talent, have an open call, and be done with it.

I’d love it too if there was an agency here. One call and on screen, in the can and get on with being productive.

Problem is, its at minimum of 6 months and sometimes more just to get two maybe three gals of some degree of proficiency that can be on TV , movies, in print. Or has the ability to walk in off the street, sit down at the radio board and do a show.

I have in my media career, had two walk in’s , that could pony up to the plate. Out of those only one that within a week go on air.

The two are Miss Dixie Diesel 1993 and our Miss Nurse GoodBody. Out of those two only Miss Dixie Diesel. 93, was able to go on air.

It’s the difference between wanting more than a pay check but believed in the project.

Nobody would ever declare Mini Cassia and Idaho in general is a mega center of TV, Movie or other production. There’s a reason for that, nobody is recruiting the talent, nor is anyone training them. The belief here, is that why here? I can’t do that. Or some off the wall conception. The reality is there are talent here, but I don’t have the inclination nor serious desire to do that too, hell I seldom have enuff days in the week, nor hours in a day. Oh sure I see the near no body’s on Channel 11 or a few out of BOISE, and yes the effort was less there. An ad in a newspaper, phone call to one of 4 agencies the job done.

Is there an answer ? Yes, more on that in Monday’s edition.
