As one of my mentors once said, there comes a time you need to either poop or get off the pot. While it's not so simple to do both a full power radio station/network, and still have time in the day to still work in the shop, maintain my tow trucks and toew, and if I'm lucky find time to stay current , in flying. It's not easy, and at times stressful. Doing radio during the winter is a real problem , since I have to run toews. Summer its a bit easier, but not a empty easy task. Since there's club activities, racing, and getting in on a club road trip, fly in or bike run. Add to that organizing the talent for and scheduling up photo shoots and video work, its an all day and into nights situation. And the conditions in that situation, is at least more so lately I'm hitting 57 years old this month, I'm getting old, and what we used to do to recruit that female talent has changed a whole heap amount. Going up to strange women and asking them something like would you like to be on a bikers calendar, or shoot a TV ad for a bike shop, can get you slapped if not arrested. So you have to go through agencies, whom if your just a one customer and you have other clients that may not resign with that agency because they sent talent to you, will get you banned if not shunned. Then there are those that will post things on Facebook over and over, and over again, you may even get a phone call, but do they or will they take the time and expense to haul their sweet buns to southwestern Wyoming mainly Evanston, for a meet and greet? Nope, even if you pitch that you being the client are willing to pay for an overnight stay and meals. But I'm getting away from my focus here.
Back in 1975 frustrated by the lack of suitable attention by our then local broadcasters , TV and radio stations not to mention the local newspapers except for one, the then freshly organized TeenAge Truckers Association, got together, had several fund raisers and bought some rather very well used radio broadcast gear, and turned on our own radio station for over the road truckers. Back then it was nothing for parents to allow even their daughters to show up at our house just outside of Hagerman-aka-Hazzard Idaho, to write and produce great radio programs, interviews and so on. We took in an easy $5k a month which in 1975 was good money for a start up radio station at least as low wattage as we were. By 1980 or so some of those stations that had previously ignored us took us on. Soon KDSL or Kay-Diesel FM 89.1 became thee media authority, for anything over the road trucking radio and/or TV. In 1982 our phone rang so much during a nationwide full shut down of trucking as requested by then the Independent Truckers Association and Mike Parkhurst, who was also President/CEO of the publication Overdrive. Every media news department in the region called us and was curious as to what was going on. Because of that we made connections, and over time we started syndicating programs. By mid 1982 two things happened, the ground work for organizing the TeenAge Truckers Association into the Hazzard County Knytes had begun. The other thing was I got put in the Gooding County Jail for doing 185 through Hagerman in the General Lee. Yes OUR, GENERAL LEE, when I got out we shifted the organization into gear 13 and mashed the pedal. KDSL became the original KTOW and the focus was more on toewing rather than trucking, but we kept long haul over the road trucking in the mix. Back then nobody questioned coming to the house, whether or not something hinky or kinky happened was pretty much left up to the women that showed up. What was Long Haul Radio hadn't yet evolved into Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio.
Enough history, what it comes down to is this; Just before I moved to Utah in 2013, a biker friend turned me onto Livestream.com who we have been with ever since. All of a sudden , instead of our 10,000 watt signal, that only scratched some rather small areas of Idaho, Northern Utah and sometimes western Wyoming, we with Livestream.com could go worldwide. Trouble is there are some that don't know we are on Livestream.com or how to find us. So we need to advertise, in industry and enthusiasts publications as well as TV,. Now we could do something bland and generic, but whose going to give that any attention? So bring in the models standing with posing with , and voice tracking of us to the thousands of OTR truckers and towing professionals, nationwide that if they want the most aggressively rebel radio, tune into us. But I want to go past that, how about having a female sidekick in the studio? Giving the woman's point of view? In the years prior, when Dixie-Diesel was launched in 1993 in Rupert Idaho in a studio that was prior a oversized broom closet, Robin Whittaker stepped in and we made bank, but that was 1993, we need to step up to the standards of today. I watched with some reluctance Zeb Bell's show from one of our affiliated stations in Burley Idaho, what I saw was a rather simple mundane set up, in an office den at his home, he was coming over YouTube, but what he's doing , he does great at. Which brought me to the conclusion, its time for everything HazzardAyre Radio to step up and kick in the ass . I have heard from many in this community of Evanston, Wyoming , why don't you rent a space in town? Reason? Simple, when I get enough people that will take it seriously enough to sit the hell down and put other programming down, then I'll be happy too. For right now, its good where its at and how it runs now, but yes we can be better at it, but who is going to sit in studio ? As far as the female eye candy for the ads? I have one I'm grooming for the task , but that's only one. I thought we had a bunch from Boise, from Armada, but they never call back. Guess they're not that interested. Its good that they're talent has day jobs.

When there is no chemistry in a relationship, its best to end it and walk away
Haven't heard from Lexi, went up to Legal Tender, had dinner, and visited with the folks who run the local dragstrip here. Hey sometimes , if you can't beat em, join em, and while I'll buddy up for a time, watch a take over in time. Also haven't heard from the models and such from Boise, including Ally, I think some of them are mad at me since I called their bluff. The amount of talent there is most likely as limited as it's ever been. Still waiting for some noise from Armada and a few, but I think if I hold my breath, waiting on them, I'll turn blue. Sure Boise to Southwest Wyoming is a good days road trip, however, if I were someone wanting to be a real pro model or feature TV personality, making in one day more than most of them make in a year at other jobs, I'd be making a bee line here to have a sit down, more over at least sending more photos and returning phone calls.
Finally, got a yellow light from the Velocity Channel today, saying if we made a good set of trial pilot episodes, they'd give us a green light for Dixie-Diesel/Highway Hooker TV. So keep your fingers crossed. More over , I just need to start assembling the right female eye candy.
Will not be on air this morning, but will be on this evening starting at 19:00(7:00PM) on www.livestream.com/ayrewolffm

I don't proclaim or pretend to be a bad ass or something I'm not, I drive a tow truck and a bull wagon past that I'm just me
I'm nothing special, or feel like a celebrity, I'm just me.

Just how well do you know the people you meet on Facebook or online? If it sounds good, it most likely ain't
Just how well do you know the people who you make friends with on Facebook? Or another online social get together site? I mean , do you really know them or, are they just some mystical person in the darkness of cyberspace? If you start a relationship there, should you bring them to you and have them move in, before you get to really know them? I did and my am I having a headache. Here's the story; Most of you know this by now, but for the few of you who don't, I'll uncork this bottle.
I met on Facebook, a gal from down yonder in Florida. She says she's into Airwolf the TV show, not much but I thought something in common. So a bit more of investigative questioning , she tells me she's an accomplished, published writer and screen play writer. So needing a bit of aid on behalf of our two film projects, I invite her to come on out to dear sweet Evanston here. At first I thought she'd come on her own money, but she tells me that she's living with her ill mother and brother in the back yard of her Aunt and Uncle's. So feeling sorry and charitable, I spend some hard money on a bus ticket. So she get's here, steps off the bus, and being it was Sunday after numerous delays in her getting here, I now think 80% of that was bullstuff, but even though I found her a few quarts low and running on a stripped timing chain, thought at least hook up with her, have her clean house, and be a live in housekeeper. Lazy as hell, hardly picks up for herself, but worse yet, bitches at everything at the drop of a hat. I mean she'll go maybe a day and all is well, then its some crisis from some idiot she knows on FB and or the fact that I chat with hundreds if not thousands of hot women that model for the magazine and radio/tv station. So it came down to the, I can't do this no more department Wednesday night right after I watched the series finale of People against OJ Simpson, on FX. While not down and drag out it was bad. I'm a tow trucker, bike builder and pilot, part time broadcaster, I do not have the ability to be a social worker. I'm not a mental health crisis professional, nor do I have the remotest personal calamity counseling skills. So I called the local Police, one of my people on our local department shows up, I tell her what's up, she says they can't do anything except for me to find a way to ship her out of here. So, and I guess it is my responsibility since I brought her out here, to send her back. Here's the best pic I have, if you run into her online run away.
Bottom line do you know who your chatting with on Facebook? My lesson here is I learned that unless you really know someone and they're local, that you see everyday, have coffee or break bread with, on a daily or weekly basis or see in Church, don't move them into your home.

How can someone be this mentally challenged and the Lexi saga goes on
First let me start off by saying , I'm not a computer wiz nor a tech geek. But I know how to use them. I'm not too swift on some things, but I did get through High School and 3 years of technology college, so I might have a slight edge, but Wednesday, I took Bubbleass to Wal-Mart to apply for a job there. For shits and giggles, I sat down, and tried it myself, and within 35 minutes I had mine finished. Shelly? Still was on just trying to set up a user name and password. I even had to sit down and do that for her. But this is not limited to the job app. Nope came home and was coaching her on Southern history. Still dumb as a box full of rocks. Going further, she had no idea about what the theory of the squeaky wheel gets the grease means. I mean, how damn isolated can one person be, let alone so ill equipped to deal with the real world, much less even on a simple basis? We're talking about a person that is mentally challenged here, and one that tries my patience. She is just plain not there. But add to that, she bitches about me having to recruit and hire someone to be my XO here at SouthernSteele Media/HazzardAyre Radio/TV. Why because Bubbleass, just does not have the marbles to do it, let alone run a bar, or two, and supervise everything. This all truly troubles me. So I'm moving in a female life coach that has the skills to teach Shelly to be a real person, not this shallow, intellectually challenged mid aged lady. I'd like to just stop, and move Shelly out, but Shelly, would starve and die on her own, and I have too big a heart, but I'm looking for a second human female personal needs partner here. I just need things done, that Shelly just can't and never will be able to do.
Okay then, been trying to get in touch with Lexi, for the last several days, to no avail. Must have been I stumbled here and rushed too fast, that scared her or something. I'm for one, that true honesty goes a long way. In that if someone is not interested in a career opening with the club and one of our companies, that they should just say, or call, and say I'm not interested or, maybe later. Not just keep you hanging on line waiting. It must be a Marine thing, Marines believe in getting it done, no matter what, and do or die, no try, no maybe, it's do, or don't, no try.
More on ayre in the AM.

The SheWolf is on her way out she does not know it yet and I think we're gaining traction
The SheWolf is on her way out, although I am sure she has no idea yet. Thing is, she's way too lazy, and thinks that the world will be handed to her, yet as butt fugdugly as she is that ain't going to happen. I have told her too many times she needs to go work at Wal-Mart. Not that Wal-Mart is a carrer for all , but for those whose mental framework is not wrapped too tight its a start. Yet she don't call to get an appointment for an interview. Its get a job honey or your butt is outta here. It's not so much the extra money, although that would help, nor is it the fact that just about everybody in her family has written Shelly off, (go figure) but getting out of the house , for 6 or so hours every day, would relieve the stress level around here, where this whatever it is we have might work. Too much time together and due to the cold, can't be out at the shop much, I'm stuck at home. The radio gig is suffering since I can't do much of a show, unless I force the issue, then she thinks I'm neglecting her, Excuse me, I gotta work. It's an ongoing situation that's either going to fix itself or I gotta cut her loose. She get's jealous over every female that I come in contact with. Like this Lexi, who hasn't called back in a day, which troubles me a bit. But if Lexi is only half of what I have experienced from Evanston's work force it'd be a step up. That's why I jump for joy and think of her just about every second of the day since I came into contact with Lexi, but thing is SheWolf growls at her name, and the fact that I got a rather private showing of Lexi's ink, really got SheWolf growling. Hey can I be blamed if I like body art? I like ink on women, and agencies that have a stable, of women with ink, makes it great. Got a call from Armada this morning. If they are only a quarter of what they claim, that would be two steps up. Many of the mainstreams as far as talent agencies. Whether its TMG or Urban Talent out of Salt Lake City, or Craze/Urban out of Boise, if your not Deseret Media or a church subsidiary, forget it, you'll get within sniffing distance but not much further. Try casting that talent with our rebel biker/trucker/pilot club, and Lucifer is a better look to them. Especially if there is a wiff of the talent posing or interacting on TV with the club members such as this for Tow(toe)ing.

Any mile got to kick this day into second so chat at ya'll on the radio, tonight on www.livestream.com/rodewolffm

Some things flop , others get attention, Want to tell my former partner that I told you so.
I usually don't like to be a told you so, but I will this time, I told you so.
See back in December 2015 , my partner at our old shop on Riverside Loop, said I should change the name of our towing service side, as in his words Highway Hooker did not jive. Well I dug out SpeedWrench Toewing, retrofitted everything to that and yet hardly any calls. Back when it was still Hazzard County Choppers/Highway Hooker Toewing we got no less than 10 calls, one of which made the money to go fetch LexiBelle in the first place. Now there are times, I can't repair certain things because of my bad health, or do as much in the shop as I used to, but I know business. Despite claims otherwise, the thing is man and most people can't ignore their carnal needs, anything that gives a dose of pleasure or suggests such does well , because its remembered. One of my best friends in the business of Towing in Twin Falls, Idaho, named his company Marky's Towing, carved the name out of black and purple, guess what he's the number two tow service just behind A1. Why is Mark successful? Because , the name Marky's suggests that there's a hot female involved. Men gravitate to that and thus call. The same holds true for Highway Hooker Toewing. So with this writing I'm taking our tow service back to Highway Hooker Toewing, and all that makes that up.
