There's an old LDS/KSL generated PSA(Public.service,announcement) that asked the question at the end, If you don't do it, who will? The question comes on the heels of a constructive comment on AD's site that said put away all the rest of the crap fix up your trucks, and just go tow. Okay fine, I would in a heartbeat, if there was someone else out there building a radio network for us going towing or for that matter truckers, in our part of the nation. I'd quit my bit if there was someone else in this damn area, trying to get others to see there is an alternative to the ultra conservative views of our nations infrastructure, from politics, to the status quo, If there was a one call that's all to hire the filly's to be on one damn TV ad, to tell people to call me if their ride pukes. But there isn't. So what about the Knytes? Yes there is our club, I'm happy as hell that it was started, happy to be a part of that start and the one that keeps breathing air into it. Who would if I didn't? Whether or not many agree with this, I'm good with my hands, I'm a pretty darn good shade tree mechanic, and my fixes , last. I heard from my landlord today, that he took a old Ford Ranger to a shop here in Gooding. Now after two years the shop wants the thing moved and yes it'll be me and Lexi towing it, but after nearly $2,000.00 that my landlord paid up front, and yet nothing done sezz to me, there is a needed thing for a good auto shop and a wrench here in this town. Trouble is, not too many shops for rent , and the few that are here are way over my price range. I know, should have taken the place in Bliss huh? Trust me that's still in the works, the fact is there's very little I can't do to a ride, whether it flys or runs on 4,6, or 18 wheels. No I have no real work for someone else job experience, but I have learned from the best in the business, just like I did to be able to tow. Until I find a shop, to rebuild both my trucks and all, my mission in life is to finally build this radio station, put the thing on the air, hereby rebuild the Knytes into not only what we were but even better, and serve them as well as all who tow and haul. Its called giving back. Look I was given the gift of gab, even before I could walk, I could talk. Mom always said if you can't dazzle with brilliance,confuse them with bull. Not all I say is bull. Hell even science fiction or even fiction has its roots in truth or a true story to tell. Some think all my stuff is a fib. The facts are simple, Mom & Dad both had the means to allow me to explore my dreams. Some worked others flopped, but I still explored. Now yes being as some say spoiled, I could hold my nose in the air, not care for anyone and just act like Little Lord Fauntleroy. But that's not how God(Kahless) or his son Jesus would do here on Earth , nor will I. I will always be out here fighting for the underdogs of our area as well as nationwide, that includes not being a prude, and fight for the CSA/CNP, as best as I can. The best way to do that is mass media. Now again if I could convince a local radio or TV station to take me on, and I nearly did in Boise, until one of AD's bunch called them up and got them to stop me. But if there was another way, don't you think I'd do that? Now to be fair, when I had lots of money at my beck and call, things like low cost advertising was no big deal. Shit I spent I don't know how many thousands of dollars there. Some of it worked some didn't. But to be true here too. Just as the original Hazzard Garage of ours was to open, I had the then 4-Wheeler and Off Road Magazine contracted for ads. I had the model booked through the magazine , to fly into Twin, drive out to Hazzard, do the shoot, and fly back for the small price then of $700.00 but Bro, said for half that we can get someone local to do that. Been looking ever since. That was back when Lexi looked a bunch better, and why a 4X4 publication, the concept to build my General Lee on the frame of a Dodge 4X4 , lift kit and all was in the werx, much of it got sidelined due to mom's death, but it wasn't for the lack of effort. The truth is, yes I have lost big amounts of money from goofy ideas. But outside of a few of the Knytes, I have yet to see anyone outside the club step up and say we'll help you do this. Granted the shop in GF flopped, but there was another in town just a block or two from TJ's Farm Store, that the city owns. They are not doing much if anything with it, except store Christmas stuff. Why couldn't they have leased me that tiny shop on a short term basis to where I could have gotten started, then in time I could have gotten a bigger shop, even built one? But nooo. So I went down in flames with that old Simplot shop there. If old JR would have been in charge , I'll bet dollars to donuts that he'd have gave me that shop. Why? Mom & Dad knew very well old JR Simplot, and leased land to him to farm for a few years. Memories have a strange way of evaporating. So getting this done so I can take my nap, the radio station etc, if I don't do it who will?
