You STILL can love what you do for a living and still prosper

Yesterday as I perused my email on my personal email account, I saw a post from our friend Nick at Tow Parts Now.

Part of what Nick said was accurate enough, but I came away kinda miffed.

Granted, your not going to win any friends in the High school counselors office when you say what you want to do when you graduated is to start your own towing company, and two; there is no magic path or book to tell you how to start, maintain or sustain a successful tow service. That said, I can remember on leave from the Marines in 1977 catching a glimpse of a red Chevy 1975 Tow truck outside of a pancake place in Twin Falls Idaho. A naked Selena Gomez walking by could not have out shown or upstaged that 75 Chevy tow truck, something of a slight vapor coming from her stacks, her marker lights on, and her chrome shinning in the dawn breaking light captured me unlike anything I had ever seen. 6 months later my Dad died, I came home from MCAS, saw my Chevy girl for sale, made a deal and in April 1978 I bought my Chevy girl Tow truck that has the name LexiBelle. > When I finally went from Active duty to Active Reserve, I began building my company originally known as Highway Hooker Towing. Out of the small rural town of Hagerman Idaho. Today with 5 trucks in 8 locations throughout Idaho, Utah and now here in Wyoming running as Cooter’s Toewing/DixieWolf Toewing, I know I made the right choice. As to the fact that or question of do you do what you love, the answer is yes, From that first morning at Sambo’s Restaurant in Twin Falls when I first saw my LexiBelle, to now all I have really loved is towing. I dreamed about it , I lived the lifestyle and still do. Sure I had a lot to learn to go tow, yes there are challenges, but I have never ever thought of doing much of if anything else. Sure I fly crop duster helicopter during the summer when tow volume is slow, but I still love towing. So yes Nick you can do what you love to do, you don’t need to cut the throats of former employers or employees to get there, and you still can be a success. The question of is LexiBelle still alive? The answer is yes, just getting some needed attention at Magic Valley Transmissions in Twin falls, and will be building a new floor board there real soon.

Back on Line Again

It took long enough but we rather I’m back online again. Not that we should have ever gotten taken off line to begin with. From the many people that I have talked to here in this bassackwards town have replied they wouldn’t have gotten offended by what I told the little spoiled brat at the only wireless internet provider, rather taken it as it was intended, as a compliment and left it at that.

Got the invoice from John at I4 in Woods Cross, Utah for the place there. I can’t understand though why they would have thought I abandoned it, I mean ok, I fall on my but on the 2nd of January broke my hip and hammered a knee, so was in the hospital for a few days, and yes offline, but heck not like I forgot about the office/studio, but hey , if they need me out of there fine, so gave the invoice to our local Bishop here who is also a supporter of the club and the radio station concept, he told me he’d send it out, and so now just trying to confirm things from both ends. Just a happy day in Wyoming, but we are getting there, again.

As for the Reaper Club, we put that on hold, mainly because there is no open or available liquor license open bar license to be had in Evanston, but we are looking at another couple of locations, for Cooter’s Grill here, so at least people can eat southern , just not drink like they are in Georgia, or at least Hazzard.

Come April the trucks for Cooter’s Toewing here> will be here so we’ll start work that way through summer, and this fall begin the effort to Hazzard County Choppers.

As I close, I tried a in roads approach to the local newspaper here. Of course this was redirected to advertising, and quite frankly at $18.00 per column inch was a bit up there, especially when the Hazzard Gazzette, only charges a flat rate of $50.00 a month no matter how many times a month you run an ad or, how big it is, but still looking at doing some business with the local paper, just don’t yet know how much.

Finally, the location of this years Hazzard County Nationals bike and truck in show has been selected,(drum roll please?) It is Montpelier at the Bear Lake County Fairgrounds there. Let you know dates next time.

My views on Evanston Wyoming , next time here in Wolf Tymez.

And we're going to get charged how much?

The local paper ain't going to like us after this , but hey I tried.
Met with the sales gals at the local newspaper here in Evanston, on getting some ink out on the radio station, HCC and of course the Reaper.
Nearly $500.00 by the time we got done talking. Club may or may not go for this, but hey you work with what you have.
Now local business's that want to advertise on our radio station will pay a flat $100.00 a month with unlimited airings of their ad for that $100.00 . Not per ad, not per column inch a flat $100.00 and that ad airs as much as we can fit it in.
It's called helping the small time retailer and business owner get a return on investment, not just a gamble.
Having lunch with the sales gal on Friday, let ya'll know about that next Wednesday, as this two wheeled cowboy is on my bike for the Hazzard Ice Breaker run in Boise.
TTYLY On Wednesday.

The Reaper Club

What it is and what it ain't like us of the Knytes all it is , is original, not a copy, we inspired the TV show, not the other way around.
The Reaper Club, is the Knytes-of-Anarchy's answer to the fabled BOARS NEST of Dukes of Hazzard fame, the Reaper was not to be a just bikers club, rather a aviators/gear head cafe and beer place. Where we could get together watch a NASCAR race and eat and have a brew.
What we will bill as the Reaper Club, was originally named Cooters Bar and Grill of Morgan Utah. Just after our then President of the club passed away, we transplanted the bar and grill idea to Evanston, but put it on the shelf and put the radio station (KDXB/KNAK ) on as our main focus.
Why the delay, getting a liquir license in Evanston is harder than was expected. However we are leaning more to a beer bar than a hard booze bar. But the open bar thing is a year or better off, for now its brew and food.
We have been criticized for the name coming from the TV show , Son's of Anarchy, the fact be known we are the motorcycle/hot rod club that inspired SOA, not the other way around, same with the Reaper Club.
The Radio station comes first, followed by Hazzard County Choppers , then the Reaper, but not before the other two, need to make green before sinking into the werx of the Reaper.

Laptop and notebooks never could nor can do what a good desktop will do

Limited minds and abilities, just like many in Evanston Wyoming, really all ovr the area that I have met ovr my just the last few years, that are so stupid and the extra programming does not help, nor does any extra coaching, it has to be natural or the bandwidth of both the person and/or computer will be limited.
So why is the person limited? Some say its the mother taking narcotics during pregnancy, that delivers addict babies that is the crux of our social problems. Computers? It's usually the attempt by manufactuers to get products out faster than the competitor, so design, archatecture and such features are comprimized, and not I'm not big super brainiac I'm a GED educated mechanic from Hazzard County CSA, that has an opinion. I love to share it and will here in Wolf Tymez, the publication of The AyreWolvez Military Aviation Association.

Evanston needs a decent radio station

Even the local Padre here agrees, Evanston Wyoming needs a real community minded radio station, and the Knytes-of-Anarchy is here to create and deliver. The Padre (Bishop) here is so impressed that he's going to authorize the payment of our back rent on the place in Woods Cross Utah so I can recover our equipment, move it here and get going.
With KEVA going off the air two years ago or so and the license that expired just a few days ago, the allocation is open to file, on the old license. But wait, it wont be KEVA, it will be KDXB short for Dixie Broadcasting under the company name Dixie Broadcasting West LLC.
But it goes even further, there is two FCC allocations for a FM and one analog TV station, both are being filed on for Evanston Wyoming, by the Knytes-of-Anarchy/AyreWolvez. So what can you expect from KDXB? Just log onto www.livestream.com/hazzardayre and you'll find out, but more over being a real honest to goodness LIVE radio station with a LIVE human in the cockpit(studio) doing local radio, not radio coming from the sky through satellite automation.
The Wolf came from the south and has settled in the north in Evanston Wyoming. Now its time to let the radio flow.
Premier date will be this fall to early spring 2016.

Just not enough horsepower

Just not enough horsepower, but then what Internet Service provider or repository has enough horsepower these days? Few if any.
I tried to watch Fresh Meat from Hulu, the computer tried but there just isn't enough stream flow to make it work, oh well in a week, I'll have my own pipe.
Went to the low income people today, but I think this is a wasted effort. I was supposed to turn in my SNAP card before transfer to Wyoming from Utah. But b4 I go hungry I'm making sure.
I apologize for any time I ever said Idaho was fuggled up in anything. As when it comes to social benefit programs, Idaho has its two neighboring states beat , plus Idaho will give cash award too, so you can afford to buy butt wipe, each month. In Utah and Wyoming you get cash ONLY if your some unwed mother. Otherwise forget it.
Have a meeting with Bishop at 20:45 hours, going to try and get some help on the gig in Woods Cross Utah. Hope so, as we only have until the 25th on that.
Now I could be onery and say, if John had gave me the mail for my office space so I didn't have to pay $2,500.00 to Comcast, since, Comcast sent the bills, but I never got them until I pinched the mail delivery person and by then we'd done got unplugged. But I wont, unless I'm backed into a corner here.
Still working to get the Reaper Club up here in Evanston, but that's an uphill haul. Too many people involved and its a bear to unravel the cob web.
This may take some time.
Need to get in touch with Danny at Magic Valley Transmissions to get him paid and LexiBelle here to Evanston, as I need to start earning again, so I can get off the welfare lines.
