NASCAR didn’t think of Mother Nature

PHOOTENOTES HEADERA HOOKER TOW BLOG HEADER_thumb

Well here I am, in Daytona beach Florida, anticipating the big race Sunday. Except as it looks right now the big dig , might be scrubbed and the trip all for not. Why, Mother nature is looking to rain on the race Sunday, and if that happens, NASCAR will postpone the race. But I did have fun any way.

I got the chance to peruse the many up beat radio stations here in the greater Miami, area. I will say what they are airing here makes things in our area in the Mountain West look Quakerish by comparison. Or at least Victorian. As it would seem the more open minded less religious restricted radio here far exceeds that of Idaho or Utah. Question is, WHY? I wanted to call my girls in Idaho several times but the 4-1/2 hour time differential between here at Florida and Idaho, means when I wake here, its nearly midnight or so there.

So Mello-Yello, call me as soon as possible, have things I need done there.

Okay then…………….

Few people consider the supporting cast when it comes to major events.

Like if a major music mogul plays a gig, the roadies that have to build the set, the guys that mix the music and all, are not spoken of. In the case of events like they Daytona 500, few think of those who clean up the mess on the track during the race during those wrecks that brings out the caution.

Those tow trucks both usual boom and hooks as well as carriers. Which was the way I got here. The Professional Wrecker Operators of Florida, through Miller Industries(Holmes) sent out a blurb several months ago asking for contestants for a nationwide search of towing services, still under the same owners under the same business name for more than 39 years to enter. I did, and thus here I am. If things go according to plan and rain don’t squash the race, you’ll see me out there snagging and dragging the wrecked cars at the 500.

Until L8R ya’ll

Truth will set you free

DIRTY TOE NEWS1_thumb[1]PHOOTENOTES HEADER

The ancient, axiom of the Bible says: Truth will set you free. True to a point, I try all the time to be as level and truthful as I can, both here at the Tow service, at AyreWolf Aviation as well as on radio for us going towing, plus on this and the rest of the clubs assigned blogs.

To be true, this one your reading now is both part of the club, 411, but mostly my companies blog. As it is that over BlackSheep, Cooter’s, Dixie, and Wyld Eagle Towing, of the Mountain West, the HQ and parent has been, is and will die with me, is of course Highway Hooker Towing. Which subsidiaries, include KTOW and Highway Hooker Radio/TV. Which the Knytes-of-Anarchy shares expenses with in me in maintaining, and operating of. Bottom line, KOA,(SAMCROM MC) pays the wages of none club member employees like Ellie, Mello-Yello, Radio Rebel.

With expenses as tight as they are, even to the extent, that I had to swallow my pride and bumb a can of SKOAL from Mello-Yello, Sunday, how I can pay to be here at Daytona during speed week and watch the grand daddy of all NASCAR races. It was a gift from Miller Industries aka Holmes Towing products, and the Utah Dealer, RMWS. They are paying for all of this. If not, I’d be in Idaho in front of the TV , not here in the pits at Daytona. Watch our gal Danica Patrick.

Any whoo , when I get back, I have many decisions to make. And B4 I buy any more radio gear, a good location for the station in the immediate Twin Falls area that’s affordable needs to be found.

That includes control boards, amps etc.

If we can’t find a place to put things, I need to look much closer at Salt Lake City, or Eastern Idaho, although stuff in Eastern Idaho ain’t much cheaper but there is some.

However , beyond all of that, is the fact my main trades in life are towing and flying, the radio thing I do to be a service to the Knytes, and the community of the highway. But its not my main gig.

I’d still love to brow beat the Taxi company owner that conned me into coming over here in the first place. Which gets to what I started out here with. If that guy would have said, nope I don’t want to be in partnership, I could have shrugged off the fact that the two shop locations were too expensive for me alone, stayed in Buhl, worked through A1 and life be good.

Same goes from the jerk I bumbed the other used laptop from, the damn thing was overpriced considering it has a cracked motherboard. But no, so, but money he get from me? No way. I can currently say this truly, I have 4 of the hottest, most creative, and intelligent gals in the valley, perhaps Idaho, working for the club, they being Mello-Yello, Ellie May, Emme, Radio Rebel. There is cause for hope. Thing is, we’re sitting against a time limit to file to move the station from Heyburn/Burley Idaho. The FCC does not like delays in action, even though they take their own sweet time in approval.  What drove this home quite really, was yesterday, just as I was leaving, the house to go to the airport in SLC to fly here to Daytona, was Heyburn city shows up with a red tag notice. Thing is I never got a bill, so what was up with that? I called got things rearranged, but damn. If something is wrong, can’t they CALL ME? Excuse me? Is the city hall’s clerk THAT BUSY? Someone had to generate the notice. But thing is fixed, but damn Sam, can’t these simple people arrive in the 21st century here?

And between the near $500.00 a month I pay for this shack, the utilities, cable etc, I get if I’m lucky $100.00 a month left over, not including money from the tow business.

Now with fuel hitting near the $5.00 a gallon mark, for diesel, and $4.50 a gallon gas, the expense to profit margin for the tow and air business’ is very slim if its even there at all.

Thank goodness the Knytes pays the wages of the girls, Mello-Yello, Radio-Rebel, Ellie,and Emme. If not, I’d be up crap creek without a boat.

So why do the radio bit?

Because there is GOLD on the airwaves, and I’m aimed at mining that radio and web ore.

How we do that later today.

They’re serving the comp lunch now so I’m outa here.

L8R Ya’ll

To tyred to write much, too hungover for much of anything else!!

A HOOKER TOW BLOG HEADER_thumbDIRTY TOE NEWS1_thumb[1]

Here I am after nearly six hours yesterday, between two commercial flights being delayed, and all I got in here to Daytona at 21:00 hours MDT. So as one can imagine I’m stressed and tyred. Should have booked one of my own byrds and flew it here myself.

So got here with Scott and crew from Millers, and settled in. This hotel is huge, even put a phone, and dig this a laptop holder in the head.

So once here, got fed then went to the bar. Which was the wrong thing to do, but I truly needed it.

Overdrank and now this morning, my head is in one hand, I type with the other and soon back to bed. Thank Kahless, nothing to do until 17:00 eastern time. Or 14:00 MDT.

To my girls in Idaho, miss ya’ll, Nurse GoodBody, Mello Yello, and of course the light in my eyes, Radio Rebel.

Will write more. Mello Yello call me.

L8R ya’ll

If there was a reason to get stoned that time was Monday night

COOTERS LOGCOOTERS JACKET PATCH

If there was a reason to find a doob, or a boob and get stoned. Monday night. First by near 02:30 hours, from the draft of seeing nothing but snow and slush, to finally getting home to the Rode-House here, snag a shower to thaw out then thinking I’ll just use the old lap top, do my blog here and kick back, was the idea. However, the old laptop I bought from a crook here in Burley puked so now two laptops dead. Take that back and say it was nice and be done with it. As they say ya git what ya’ll pay for. And off brand hardly unheard of computer brands with ancient operating systems, regurgitated by even not too trusty vendors , not for me. To hell with ACER computers, I stick with Dell and Best Buy.

By the way, anybody know of a good IT specialist looking for work?

A few of my crew barked hell at me for spending $600.00 for a desktop. Brand new, means brand new. Low disc usage, and a warrenty. Second a quality brand, and third a service support vendor, that can in most cases be depended on.

The only problem and thank goodness and mighty Kahless, that I had brains to save my art work and docs, on discs, but had to reinstall most of them into the new computer.

Then out of the Heavens , Ellie May sends an email. Glad she did. Now with all the new staff, one that I’m very keen on, Radio Rebel to be exact, still, I’d love Ellie May to jump back in. But I know that’s about as possible as me winning the Idaho Lottery.

So set radio show, on autopilot, and headed to bed.

More in the afternoon,

All season for Towing as its snowing

A HOOKER TOW BLOG HEADER_thumbPHOOTENOTES HEADER[2]

What most of us waited for in late November through Christmas has began in earnest here at the end of February, early March.

Can we make up for it? Perhaps, but it means that such things as being on air here for Highway Hooker Radio was hit and miss , mostly miss Monday night into Tuesday. Since as wizzardy as I am, I can’t be in two places at the same time. I can’t be on air and on the road going towing. Which is why we here are feverishly trying to find a honey to slip in here at the Rode House

CTRH LOGO 1 So I’m all covered in snow to go toew so no show on the radio.

Hope I can get out to go to Daytona for the race, but looking at weather muight not get to.

Oh well, there’s other NASCAR races to go to, plus get to take my fave girls. That really could be kuel. Would love seeing Mello Yello and Radio Rebel in bikini’s, yea buddy.

So lets see about getting kinky

A HOOKER TOW BLOG HEADER_thumbHWY HOOKER AD[2]

B4 I get off here, this morning.

Continuing with the Toe/Tow saga , I’m not the only one continuing that tradition. What started out as once PhooteNotes, has grown into a publication by Bill Chandler of TruckTrader fame, called T.R. FootNotes. T.R. standing for Towing and Recovery.

Going further here, we are just the ones that enjoy enhancing the play on words that are spelled different, mean something different, yet sound alike.

Nuff said.

When it comes to the population of the highway or at least the main residents thereof, OTR drivers, Bikers and us in towing, have about 5 major interests, at least us males out here. They being, fast trucks, fast bikes, fast food, fast women,open highway.

Past that just about everything is what we get from already established trade journals.

However, those not in the know about tows, forget one basic piece that I’ll give myself a slap on the back of. Highway Hooker Radio and KTOW was tow, b4 tow was kuel. Examples, TruTV runs two shows on TV about us in towing. Two years ago, SpeedTV starts Wrecked, starring  O Hare Towing out of Chicago. But Highway Hooker Radio, and us here at KTOW FM were the first public media doing anything towing. Of course trucking? B4 Trick My Truck, Ice Road Truckers and the rest, Dixie Diesel was on the air doing radical OTR radio.

Of course there are bikers. B4 there was American Chopper which made OCC the big deal they are, b4 Southern Steel, B4 the rest, Hazzard County Choppers was on the air albeit radio doing something on our biker culture. Yet few times do we get the salute of coming in as numero uno.

So where do we go from here. Besides Highway Hooker Radio, talks are under way with two major TV networks, about rolling out Highway Hooker TV, in 2014. We are also working with XM/Sirius Satellite radio, on doing up Highway Hooker Radio as its own XM/Sirius channel, in essence the tow channel.

So when I get asked why I need Mello-Yello and Radio Rebel and a media production staff. Do you REALLY NEED TO ASK?

More at 17:00 hours. See ya’ll on the radio.

The human condition

DIRTY TOE NEWS1_thumb[1]DXEDSL GAZZETTE  HEADER1_thumb[1]

THe human condition such as it is, is warped at best. Over the last 30 or so years I have seen more change in the American condition than I’d like.

In most of it just about everybody was bitching about something. Even in the groovin 70’s and hip disco 80’s , yea we had great music, but the economy by comparison was still the shits. Credit was tighter than a Mormon virgin, b4 BYU. After BYU most LDS women are no longer virgins married or not, despite what they claim.

but education was not so good. Folks who dug kountry music were considered a few quarts low, but in reality us in the kountry need to be smarter than others, even some of the hardly dry behind the ears college kids, and whipper snappers trying to poke at the old AyreWolf here thinking they ain’t going to get bit. I forgive for a time, after that time, I byte.

So the thing goes, that if your going to get the idea beyond basic thought to complete comprehension, that the word TOW is pronounced as TOE is, you show the pictures of the TOEdontyouwanttoworshipthiscutetoes then show the picture of:Lexi in green then if your really lucky, you’ll get the thing across.

What this all means next coffee break.
