Still in business and still delivering for agriculture

AyreWolf Aviation is still in business and still delivering for agriculture. We are the one of an honored few agricultural chemical  air application companies that also provides Precision, ag services, air freight, and fire suppression services. In business for over 65 years created in 1952 by my Father as then Eagle Starr Flying Services, the renamed in 2003 to AyreWolf Aviation, we have remained one company that has staid the course of economic and environmental conditions. Yet I was greatly surprised when I looked us up on my Google+ My Business page that was suspended. Really? So I made a phone call and as for now okay. Just because we moved 100 miles east didn't mean we quit. To break it down, AyreWolf Aviation flies in Utah, and Western Idaho, as well as northeastern Alaska, where HazzardAyre Aviation flies in Wyoming, Eastern Idaho and southwestern Montana. 
So never count us out we're here for the  long flyte.

Reaching a critical situation

We are as a society glued to and so dependent on the web and our computers few of us, can hardly remember when we either didn't care about computers or the web, and did business up front and personal, and spending billions if we had it, but serious cash to publicize club and or vocational business information. But if it doesn't work it doesn't work. Of course if its a paid for thing, of course your information you want to get the attention of the public with seriously gets done. The free sites, not always and most generally there are web censors at the door watching your every key stroke. Yet such social media sites like Facebook, posts it, but your contacts on say Blogger or WordPress, doesn't get the post. Sure it pisses you off, but what do  you  do? First you can attempt to fire off a letter of some sort to say Google, Bloggers parent, or WordPress. That most likely will not be seen. Revert to an older blog, which again might not register, or you can invest, if you have it, in building a website of your own THAT YOU CONTROL. That's good if you know some one that knows how to build such things. If you don't your screwed. Rural towns like Evanston, just don't have the tech types to build such things, and even if they do, if your in a cut throat business like say radio , the competition does NOT return a phone call, much less respond well. 
Some how we'll get it done, but are we crippled by the web? Or is it really a help? You be the Judge.
See you this afternoon on the radio.

Once again, pill took me out, but I'm still in the saddle

Before I get into my rant here. Have several items to bring to your light this morning.
First of all had a great lunch with one of Evanston' city council members. He is in the fight with and for me at RodeWolf Toewing as well as in the fight for the club regarding the radio station. This may be a rotten place to reside, but even places in Idaho are struggling. 
Then I saw on my Facebook feed something from an organization called the Knights of Samcro. Sounds like someone trying to copy or even duplicate our organization. The trouble is there is no way they can as they are a TV show fan group, where we are a real organization defending issues vital to trucking, and military aviation, more over the preservation of southern liberty . We as an organization might be copied, but we never can be duplicated. Others have tried, others have failed fatally.
Bringing this in for a landing, weather caused a drop in bandwidth, from AllWest, which is about to get some competition here in Evanston, as our organization is working with the city of Evanston to create a wireless Internet/Cable TV service here with 10 times the mps speeds. Plus a bigger pipeline. But with that said we should be on air in the afternoon Thursday.
Finally, after lunch, went to the shop, dinked around with Rick, a bit, but that although good, in taste ran my blood sugar screwy so went down to a local stop and rob, got a pop or two, but that just made it worse, so went back to shop, but with the dizzieness took some meds and was down for the count. Just makes sense any more to eat at home.
See ya'll in the morning here, and on the radio Thursday afternoon.

Shame on the media, no replay of last nights GOP debate

Last night was the GOP Debate one of the last before Christmas. Yes I said Christmas, not XMAS or holidays, But Christmas. Any flyte after I took the meds that my flyte Doctor gave me, for allergies and all one is Phenrgren, the other I can't even spell, I was out like a burned out candle. But wanting to see the entire debate went searching for a debate replay. Know what? Not one damn thing online or anywhere. Really? Guess there wasn't as much fire flinging from the tips of the candidates fingers to mandate or qualify a rebroadcast or replay. Shame on em. I want to see the damn thing. 
Today is Veterans Day in this nation, and while I salute all me fellow Marines and all branches of military service, I'd like to reach out and say a prayer and thanks to those brave men and souls who fought in the war of intrusion and oppression. Our Confederate Veterans also paid a helluva price both in death and even today in honor. Our flag of choice has been threatened and dishonored among many, or Dixie national Anthem is rarely if anytime sang, our sacrifice is not recognized. Today as you honor Union military Veterans, also say a prayer and give a minute of silence for those who wore gray, and say thank you to our Confederate veterans. 
Last its nice to have friends who know you and want to help albeit in limited fashion. This morning as I downloaded a few items for this evenings radio show, I also had a knock on my door. Brother McFadden was there and offered me and reluctantly I accepted a $20.00 from him as he remembered today is Veterans Day. Wouldn't it be nice if all civilians honored every Vet, a $20.00 and a real thank you? 
In closing, the media is a mockery of this election and sucks up to those DC Occupiers. It makes no difference Republican nor Democrat. Ain't been one single Yankee carpetbagging politician yet that ever told the truth and fewer that did what they say they will do at election time. Our media steps in full inline with those DC Occupiers and salivates on every word and action, but still sides with who ever is the most popular or kindest to them. No mention of Veterans's Day hardly, certainly no mention to the Marines anniversary yesterday, NONE. There are two independent, fully independent voices on the air today, one is CSC TalkRadio, with Beth Ann, the other is HazzardAyre Radio and KKOD FM. KKOD FM is proud to air CSC Talk Radio at 5:00PM Mountain Standard Time, monday through Friday. 
See ya'll at 4:00PM 16:00 hours.

One more thing shame on you Lester Holt and NBC News

Yesterday as many of you know was the anniversary of the USMC, yet not one news channel both local nor national gave the date any acknowledgement. Surly with NBC's ratings in the ditch, and many are saying its time to cut the cable cord, you'd think that at least Lester Holt of NBC news would have gave at least a nod. Nope the only national acknowledgement was from us on AyrewolfFM part of HazzardAyre Radio, and Beth Ann's show CSC TalkRadio. But nothing from either the networks, hell even those monkeys running for President at the debate last night could have at least said something, especially when Ted Cruz gave a pitch earlier in the day yesterday. It may not mean much to ya'll, but the reason many of you aren't eating with chop sticks, or Borstch or some USSR food, is the Marines, you could have at least honored us. Something more than just thanks.
L8R Aviators and oh yes, Semper Fi

Can we just keep from taking medicines? What we do for the sake of flying.

Yesterday was fun. All snow and guess who couldn't go tow? In a month or so that will be corrected. So went to the Doctor to finish up some things to get a clean bill of health so I can get back to flying again. The Doctor gave me some meds that flat knocked this old Marine right in the dirt. I got back to my personal rack, and thought I'll just take a nap so I could be fresh to be on air . I flatlined at 18:00 and did not become ressurected, until 02:30 a few ago this morning. I just went out. Guess the body and mind decided to take up the cause of all the stress of the last few weeks, and check my body out of the battle, as I am near overload.
Yesterday was the 240th birthday of our USMC, and the 214 was there to honor it . As the only true fully intelligent and all squadron in the USMC thought I'd share a few pics,

Anywhere there's a danger to this nation, or a threat to the world we of the BlackSheep are there. Semper Fi!

Call this the point of Stall speed here at HCC

Well outside it's snowing and who ain't towing? Me. After several months of scratching every dime, and penny, I could, going to the church for help on my domestic rent which I might have to do again, since the car caught me off guard, and killed me financially, for the month, but there is a heavy anvil hanging overhead , that says HCC as far as Evanston Wyoming just might be dead, or is seriously injured. I've not given up, but I might not have a choice,. The Landlord of the shop is saying pay up or split. So on the 19th got an appointment with Perkins Automotive to go over the car and fix it, then its over to Chads to get the leaks stopped, after which, unless something seriously jumps here, its take rides to Twin Falls or that area, put em into storage, drive the car back, rent U-Haul haul my stuff and car back to Twin, live in a motel for a short period until I find a good home, then , I might get back into snagging and dragging , where I can at least make some money. Radio gig can live there as well as the model shit, hell we got more applicants there that really did something than we have here. I have no love lost on Evansgone Wyoming, but I have a few cards yet to play before I throw down the hand I been dealt here.
Okay then. 
Some times we say things either in a joking or comedy way that intentional or not can hurt someone, or cause a bit of feelings to bubble under ones skin. 
Now I will admit, my rides are not the sweetest nor the best done rides in the land. I realize that . I'm not stupid. After all the last time I had all the supplies and a real honest paint booth and all to do a custom paint job on anything, was just after Mom passed away in 1983. The one we had in Hazzard, at the real Hazzard County Garage, was for its time state of the art.  From the fully illuminated walls and ceiling to the Devilbiss paint guns, to a place to sandblast to metal, prime, sand, then wet sand then sand again, then paint. The paint job Jimmy and I put on LexiBelle just before Jimmy split for Fresno, was a mix of just about every dark color in the shop. Which gave my girl, the deep purple/blue/black coloring she got. Add to that the color was LexiBelle's own color, and could not be duplicated. Thing is I had every intention of having LexiBelle, fully restored and operational by now which is why I rented the dang shop in the first place. Simply and if I've said it once I'll say it again, no LexiBelle, there's not much of a reason of me renting and running a custom shop. Or a shop of any kind. This too I've said all too many times, I came here to this frigid place to do one thing, find a place to house the radio station of the club's. Build the inside of the Radio station for the club. Find someone to manage the radio station for the club, then get my butt outta here. I should have been adios in September.  But getting my rides called clown trucks, clown car and so on, while I know my partner is kidding, hurts. I did what I could with what I had the best way I knew. Add to that I haven't heard ANYONE come up to me and say , "Hey I know how to do that, let me help you do that paint job or what have you." Nobody, yet all can criticize. Just like Uncle Jessie used to say as we fished Hazzard Creek just below my families farm there, don't bitch elect to fix. Don't tell someone something of theirs sucks, unless your willing to step up and help that person rectify the condition. So to end this and try to catch a few zz's. While I'm stuck here, until June, I'll bust my ass to help save and run the shop such as it is, that is if we don't get evicted first. Finish up the radio werx here if I can, then come June this high octane canine is taking my Wolf-Pack outta here and going home.
See yall this evening.

  

Some days you can't get it into second even if you double clutch it, or translation, sometimes your just screwed

Some days you just can't get it into second even if you double clutch it, translation? Sometimes your just screwed. Here's the deal, and yes it was a big deal, at least to a military retiree. Two weeks ago the 30th of October 2015, I'm all filled with anticipation of being reunited with my beloved LexiBelle (my tow truck) so going to Twin Falls Idaho, via I-80 through Morgan Utah. Just as I come off the Echo Utah, cut off, saw a plewm of white smoke out the tail pipe, followed by a climbing temp guage followed by the car giving it up just outside of the shop service door at Youngs in Morgan. So after 2-1/2 hours or so the verdict came in , blown heater hose. They didn't have the part, had to order it. Really? This is supposed to be a full service shop. Any mile ultimately they rent my a new Dodge Journey, to go home. I kinda liked the unit, so was giving thought at looking into buying the rental, until I went to pick up MY car. So drove the car home, it had some reluctance, but got me home. Shut it off, did my gig at MY shop, and went to go home. As I was coming off Bear River Drive to go over the overpass to come home, the car barely got over the overpass, when the Check Engine light comes on. So turned around, went back to my shop. Both me and my partner at the shop, looked at it, took it to a competitors shop had them run a diagnostic scan, all it said was a bad 02 and map censor. However there and maybe its not gone, but it sure acts like it has a very bad head gasket. Which might have been why the heater hose blew in the first place. Did Youngs check for that? No. Although the power steering hose is bad and had a recall on that year of car (1997) to 2003 still I know what that's all about, but the old General should not be running so rough. So I sent them two email letters asking for my money back less the cost of the rental. Still no response. However I do have an attorney there in Layton, who also has an office in Morgan Utah looking into it. As we get into Veterans Day, remember , Vets have little to mediocure money as it is. The sacrifice we gave to serve this nation is huge, when you do service or any work that , that Vet has to pay for, remember he or she might be taking away from his rent on his home or food out of his mouth. Moreover If your a auto shop, and you screw up, be honest, try to work it out and if you can't at least refund your labor charges, to that Veteran customer. 
Stay Tuned ,. But know this, if I was one who was entertaining selling someone not only one Journey, but three ton and a half commercial trucks, and I had a dissatisfied customer. I'd be for refunding the money or having a rental up here at my cost, and a tow truck to take it back to my shop, to rectify the problem. Stay tuned.
TTYLY

Another one gone, whew

Well that too went sour but I'm not surprised. Since few if anyone else besides myself is all that eager to move to Evansgone Wyoming. Sure I got suckered punched , once last year this time when instead I could've taken a room in Tooele Utah , and retained the facility in Woods Cross Utah, and more than likely have the website up, and a heap of other things. I also got sucker punched when I was about to dump the shop last July, and kept it due to a bunch of promises that few kept. At this point, I'm nearly ready to say , fix the rigs I own, get through winter and come mid spring get my ass outta here. Why worry about fetching LexiBelle, or anything? Just clean up the mess and blow off this pop stand. 
Last night I had to witness something I don't like to see. Two great people fussing at one another. Not that I wanted to see it, but I was like a deer in headlights, on one side wanting to gracefully depart and avoid it, but stuck there due to friendship and partnership. I'm not saying I'm done yet, but I'm so close to it, that I really don't care much and am looking at mostly saving my own butt, and as said come May or June, look at getting my ass outta here unless a heck of a lot changes. Changes in like; finding a few chiqadees to be on air, as well as the website, cash coming in much faster to keep up with the bills, people that wont say yes, then a few days or even hours saying no. Any time anyone says, Oh I'll think about it, its a pretty much real that they're saying no, just being polite about it. The list goes on, but the ending episodes to this disaster I call Evansgone Wyoming is on the horizon, and I'm getting into a groove to come June, move.
MJ bugged out, thought she would. As said few move to Evansgone, especially those living in Utah. Few want to give up the trappings of metro Utah, to engage a place that is nearly dead. The trouble is few can see that, the worst of it, few want to change it. Stay tuned.
TTYLY

Now onto the personal side

I guess, that I'm very blessed and all that, I have albeit small, but a comfortable home, rewarding careers and all the trappings of a person that would make a great catch for most if not all single women my age. Trouble is women my age and even those 5 or so years younger or slightly older that have even the remotest bit of physical eye candy, don't want much to do on a personal level with a 57 year old biker,trucker,pilot. Even one that flew in the Marines. Nope they want Justin Timberlake or someone. Where is the Gretchen Wilson type that I'm looking for? While I have been close to the snare of domesticated or more direct and correctly domestication , I've not been able to find someone they could lean on, or one that would let me lean on them a bit. A woman that can get into a pair of coveralls and wrench on a truck, get in her jeans and feed cattle and hogs, or bale hay, and yet, still put on a gown and go with me to the Grammy Awards(been nominate 8 times won 2 times) A gal that will accept the role of a traditional Donna Reed wife, and yet jump in beside me at night(in my case mid morning) and make me feel like I'm a hemale. It's not like I don't know the proper way to treat a lady, heck been working on it since I was 5 years old. In facted dated, Senator Hatch's niece . But when it comes to locating a woman that would be good for me I've not gained all the skills to seal the deal, to retain her. It's not money, heck I have all of that I need for the most point, its the fact that I care too much, love too strong, and deep that I usually get kicked in the teeth, and soon she's gone. Then of course there's vocational side of me. Few women can stand being with a guy, who tows by evening, into early morning, flys mid morning , wrench's at a shop afternoons, and even add in producing independent films, including casting, some with rather spicy women, that makes some potential women get a bit intimidated.  A woman that I finally mate with, needs the ambition and desire to work along side of me to further my dream while I aid in the success of hers.  Just never found one. So I sleep, eat and prowl the forests of life alone. 
See ya'll this evening.

 

Some things you just can't say or show in an Email or phone call

The end of another Sunday, am I supposed to work on Sunday? According to some biblical teachings the Sabbath Day is Saturday, with the word Saturday, having the word SAT in it, and all must be , so I got to be busy on SunDay, which there was little of today here in Evanston. So started looking over emails in my Gbox, and saw one for one of the few applicants to our radio co-host/coanchor opening we have here on HazzardAyre(Hazzard-Air) Radio. 

    So once I saw that      I  I was interested in trying to define the opening we have, but it seems sometimes that no matter how much I try to explain over an email or phone call, the fact is I can never fully relate the operation . The only way to get a feel for what we do here and the way we do it, is to be here, and watch. That being said, while at present the gig is done here at the Wolf's Den(my home) there is movement afoot to relocate the radio werx down town next to the post office here. There is an entire suite there that can easily house the radio operation. Additionally there is space next to it in fact an entire floor down stairs in the same building that can house the Television station we have in the works to create here in Southwestern Wyoming. So the reason amongst many including but not limited to, me being only one human biped high octane canine, that's getting older by the second with type 2 diabetes, and all, and that said, running a towing service, partly running our custom truck/car/Harley shop, as well as finding time to stay current flying, there's only me. In days gone by there was energy aplenty doing 14 hour days, and running on 5 hours if that sleep, even in albeit only slightly warmer, out towing was no biggy. The other half of that in days gone by I had through the club, plenty of associate producers and a engineer to take care of the station, so all I had to do was come in and do my show. Now the reason its still in the Wolf's Den, is simply its where I can do this here where its warm, and since its radio, I can even do it in my underwear if needed. Put on a long music set, and go shower , or make a TV dinner. The other half of it is really simple, any kind of broadcasting operation is very expensive, new equipment costs more that a small house to buy, plus maintain. That and the fact except for our Gooding Idaho studio, there hasn't been enough qualified, I'm not saying no one, as plenty want to be an on air person, but few are qualified to just roll in, and saddle up to the console and do a show. In the same lane when I hear people yap about it being a long drive, and being a bit of a gamble and all, I think back to when we fired the first round of this show in Gooding. Ellie May, aka Nurse GoodBody , when I told her that I like in studio people in mini skirts, heels and oh yes nylons, her only question was pantyhose or stockings, like there was a difference what the hell did I know? As winter came that year, and we did the show as I do always , from around midnight to 6:00AM, she would drive 40 miles, on snow covered roads, and ice from Jerome to Gooding, both ways, didn't even squabble about it being overnight, and always came in prepared. She wanted HazzardAyre to succeed, like I did, it became a passion for her as much as it was for me. Of course she finally got her PHD, and now is a head shrink in Twin Falls, but thing is she still contributes in her way, from there. Oh and about the she being hitched and me not yet allowing me to do the off color gigs that I did, get this; He is a evangelistic preacher, from Australia, and he'd have me go to services, and he'd make us food , for our night shift. Even when she'd do things like this; 

 

 

 

 Nobody including her hubby cared. It was all part of the gig, he understood the connection between hot legs, and things Hazzard County and of course sweet Daisy, 

 

 

 There wasn't anything hinkey or kinky about it. But we got-r-done. So when somebody who is looking at booking a career and it is a career, not just being here as an employee or doing it as just a job, hey McDonalds is a job, working for HazzardAyre and the Syndicate(Knytes-of-Dixie) is a career, at about 4 times an hour beyond what they'd make at a McDonalds I have to scratch my head. Where else besides a exotic dance club as a stripper are you going to make a starting wage of $30.00 an hour and work up to $ 100.00 an hour, in 6 months? And its legal? To me if it was me and I was looking to gain some employment miles I'd be putting on my nylons and skirt and taking the 1 and half hour drive to come see me, not going to an exotic bar to be a DJ, introducing strippers and being mistaken for a cop and getting turned away. 

There are just some things that can't be explained through an email, or phone call, HazzardAyre is one of those things that one needs to see in person, if your going to explore your acting, radio, creative skills. And again why this isn't in a formal space? Up to now we as an organization just haven't felt the need for it. We had one in Woods Cross Utah, pretty fancy as well, with many of the attributes we needed to boot, the thing is , we pitched ads for on air and visual, there too. Only got 3 that was even possible, but even they weren't rebel enough to be in and of HazzardAyre. One said something like she couldn't be seen or work for bikers, or pilots. Really? Once I have the three lady on air's hired for sure, that can be paired with our aviator/biker/trucker hemales then the station will be in the place in downtown Evanston. But not until.

Taking the rest of the night off, catching up on TV and rest, but don't fret none we'll be here Monday night on air after the farm chores are done. Tune in www.livestream.com/kkodfm Until Then keep it wings level

  

It's said no one works overnight, we say, we know that you do. That's why there is HazzardAyre Radio

It's been said by many I know, and question I'm asked is why overnight? After all but a very small few are awake, much less working overnight. The so called Graveyard or night shift is about as mainstream these days, kind of like Pantyhose and 89 cent gas, yes its out there but few and rare. The long haul trucker seldom is rolling the big road at night, like they did in the old days, since trucks are better equipped environmentally today with air conditioning as well as heat. With modern refridgerator trailers,. The need for Ice box trucks that really had blocks of ice, that was blown over the load with a huge squirel cage fan is all but gone. Well I know there are many of you out there heavy hauling, towing and yes even flying at night. Plus albeit in rare locations, but people in truck stops, grocery stores, warehouses all over doing their jobs and pursuing careers over night . And that's why we are here overnight on your IPhone, Android, and other personal mobile devices. As well as over the air on satellite inside the cab of your trucks, and aircraft. And just who are WE? We are HazzardAyre Radio
