For many in this business and it is a business. That few want to do as a career, but those of us who made going toewing in snow or dry warm weather our choice of life’s work it is a profession we take seriously. More over reverently. Especially when it comes to our trucks. The trucks become more than a tool on 6 or more wheels to get the job done. They become part of our families. More over for some of us the tow truck, we started with remains, as more of a wife, than a human wife would be. Or is.

With over 1, million, 600,000 miles on her LexiBelle

 Remains as the center of my universe. Thing is like many women, the get older they get it becomes harder to feed them. The offspring in my case LiL Lexi, goes out to do the short jobs, jump starts, flat tire fixes, traffic control. But when something needs mighty Titan strength, few LexiBelle’ size can handle what she do. Which gets me to the thing here. Old skool don’t always mean bad. Case-n-Point, even modern technology is not up to the simplicity of old things. Such as, my new computer, oh its good, but Windows 7 is harder to work with than XP, I’d much rather have XP back and be able to do what I used to on my old laptop. However, the old laptop, did not load up, or boot as fast as the new one. Some new cars, trucks, etc , can’t be slung towed. Will not work, one will crumple up these aluminum plastic cars and light trucks like a beer can using a sling. So blocks, dollies, and things like straps instead of extra tie down chains, as well as flat beds, rollbacks, or properly called carriers. Yet for all that is Holy , the modern boom style tow rig, has to back up, with its donkey pointed at the vehicle to be winched out or recovered. Where as; My Holmes 500, albeit a bit slower, can rescue that slide off, while all my wheels stay in the direction of travel, less traffic blockage, thus less traffic control needed and I can split my booms, winch from the side, and wahlah done. Minimum damage. So then.

Where did this Hooker thing start? First I didn’t start it. The term is old over the road long haul trucker cb radio slang for tow truck, (Hooker) as a tow truck utilizes chains , wire rope etc with hooks on the ends to accomplish the tasks assigned.

However again I did not start it.

The concept married itself with a picture I saw once in the old version of Overdrive, Magazine, with the subtitle the Happy Hooker. Second I snagged a T shirt from my mentor Tommy N Thompson of TNT Towing of Boise, that read , Our Hookers Handle All Sizes, with a street lady separating a heavy tow truck and a light duty tow truck.

When I first started out, I started as Heavy Hooker Wrecker Service of Hagerman Idaho. Over the years that has been reworked as Highway Hooker Toewing, and remains as the parent tow service, of Dixie, BlackSheep, SpeedWrench, Towing.

And for the idiot near Malad Idaho that thought it’d be funny to copy our old name, fine, you can pay the bills associated with it. But copyright infringement will cost you even more.

So that’s how the Hooker thing got started. And thought is being thrashed around to reheat Highway Hooker Toewing up here in Mini Cassia.

Busy day so need sleep.

L8R Hookers,

On the Rode again

Back on the rode again. Felt somewhat neglecting LexiBelle, and what we all created there because of her. So I thought, since the religious as well as puritans of western Idaho, are more worried about their farms than flying, and the list goes on.
Sounds like a bunch of manure I went through in the late 1980's don't it? For me its comprimizing I came to Idaho with aspirations and the snobs in Tragic Valley Idaho, says no you wont, so I crawl back in my shell. But its a comfortable shell. Going toewing is something I decided on, through divine inspiration, in 1976 and so hey why the frack not.
So we put the steam under the pan of all things toew. Including Highway Hooker. I bcan remember that asshole in CokeVille Wyoming telling me, ya'll can't do that. I am getting to think that outside notion of city folks, thinking, us in the kountry being very damn simple in mind. Ain't so off.
Not all farm people or kountry folks are dumb and stupid, but many can't get out of preprogrammed thought patterns, and so it was in 2005 at CokeVille Wyoming, with both Highway Hooker Toewing and the Kat House. Truck service center there. Get it? Kat House Cat Diesels , not the immediate the idea that enters your brain.
Any mile becuzz of much demand I put Highway Hooker and all its parts on the rear box , and went on. But I thought why?
So KTOW , Highway Hooker and all the rest gets on the road once again.
L8R Ya'll need sleep.

Your blog and Treasures are not yours

Allot of folks are digging for gold and that gold might just be being scoured out of your mine, or mind. The dayz of free blogs, whether that be Google's Blogger, Zimbio's blog service or even MSN's Spaces.live.com may soon be a for a fee rather than free service. More over just because it hazz your treasured gems, thoughts, knowledge or so on does not mean its really yours. In essence when you send your 411 to these services, you in reality are giving these services the license and that is part of those little blurbs you see in the Conditions of Service that you click the I ACCEPT button of. They now partly own YOUR PROPERTY. Unless you make your own web site, paid for by you, built by you, and hosted by YOU, or your towing firm in reality its not yours. As economic conditions become much worse until they get better and that will only happen after the 2008/09 Presidential Election and someone with integrity is sitting in the big chair, but until our nations money woes are cured, SAAS or Software As A Service will soon be including your up to now free blog. Okay then some news you can use. Over the last 18 months there hazz been an internal squabble going on in regard to finalizing on a handle for both our classic big truck and as well as our klassik tow truck branch of the Hazzard County Knytes Kustmz Association. So it hazz boiled down to this. The sibling offspring of the Hazzard Knytes for both Klassik haulers and draggin wagons is The Hazzard County Rode Knytes Association. Watch the TV show this afternoon at 14:00 hours to 15:30 Hours. More l8r haulers n Hookers

Funny things happen when you growl

It's really funny some how that things happen when one growls. Not always a good thing by the way, when it comes to connecting with the Internet I told BridgeMaxx to stuff it, guess one does have to pay $200.00 a month for a good ISP huh? Any mile did anyone watch Lipstick Jungle? the new drama on NBC written by the same gal who wrote Sex in The City. Will Lipstick Jungle last? Don't think so, as anyone knows the snag in those hose is that Lipstick an TV dramas get smudged. I was not all that thrilled with the thing so am giving Lipstick Jungle a thumbs down. Met some real hotties at the bikini bar preve eve that I think I can pluck out of there to build a 90% female staff at Southern Steele Media. Now just need to find a place to put it. Will be on the TV Friday doing Highway Hooker TV see if oit passes the censors. More details l8r

FUCK THE LOCAL STUFF

Once upon a time I thought that using local talent for doing television commercials for my towing business seemed like the right thing to do to show community loyalty and so on. To which I say bullshit. After nearly how dang long to get one little female to drive in from somewhere Idaho,Utah or frigging freezing Wyoming to stick her nyloned foot in my paws so I can kiss her damn stinking toe to work into the slogan of our company that simply says WE love Tow(e)z has brought me to the point I say Fuck the Local talent. I'm going to find someone in either frigging Hollywood, or similar. And I don't really give one iota that the twit will have to be paid for travel, hotel/motel and fed, plus her dang talent fee. Shoot if I can at least get one dang person to do the dang ad so I can get it aired who in the hell cares where the frig she lives? Which brings me to a pondering question what the frig is so damn weird or over the top kinky about kissing a nyloned santiary foot or toe of a female human? After al your not asking to climb in bed with the woman, your not asking her to wear a forking bikini, nor are you wanting to do something to do is kiss her toe to pla on two damn words that sound alike, are spelled different and mean something different. And damn it I am not the first, certainly not the last and probably not the first that thought about doing an ad such as this for the same dmn reason The only reason this is happening to me is that I have to be in an area with television executives with their Mormon heads so damn far up their ass, and all tht cannot understand the basics of something so damn innocent. Which is why I am so damn hot on buying a TV station or building one that allows a bit of out of the box thinking for a local business and yet still stays within FCC guidlines. So I begin the talent search. Now certainly I'll get a few city, county and area leaders asking why did you not use local talent? Why indeed. Can't be because we have not tried to find one here in Pocatello or immediate area. Is it the fear she will not get paid? Hey check out my bank account honey? Dig the several million dollar account or the history of the family behind it. When local KPVI CHANNEL 6 looked into our finances from the city of Hagerman they flat found out pretty pronto there was money in the till. Okay so why scoot around on ,making some female available to shoot a simple commercial? From what I can see these stations here are not bubbling over with local ad revenue. Are the bank accounts of all these TV stations in my area so damn full that one little commercial should scare th living Mormon shit out of these TV executives? Must do. However and mark my words this will happen. I'll find someone to produce this ad, talent and all and get it on KPIF here in Pocatello, then watch every damn other station either copy it, or comment on it. But at least I'll have the satisfaction of knowing I got an ad on a tv station for a company which is mine that loves going towing, hence we love ToW(e)z.

To hot for a sex shrink Highway Hooker Tow Tymez for Saturday

Last week I got this rather insulting and hurting email from a sex shrink we at Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio was considering for a segment on our network. The persons name is Sue McGarvie and does or did this thing in Canada called Sex With Sue, Unzipped and Sex with Sue Minute. She founded a now defunct thing called Passion Villiage. This kountry stallion canine must have been able to transmit a Vulcan mind meld or something because Mrs. McGarvie thought I had something other than her being on our radio shows and TV thing Dixie Diesel American Trucker TV. The situation might have came from my being a bit gun shy but rushing into anything involving Dixie Diesel Radio or TV has caused trouble in the past, both in Wyoming and in Utah. Although we have always been the top dawg of our medium, still for anyone to think that I had anything else besides being completely professional is absurd. Part of her being gun shy might have ben because I thought having her visit Idaho was over the top. But whether it was Sue or Howard Stern or heck Dave Nimeo if its on my radio network I want you our public to at least get a chance for a meet and greet. A autograph session, a business session to carve out a contract then shes in the big byrd headed for Canada. Must be too hot for a sex shrink. I'll get into that next blog why having such a program on a show both tv and radio for truckers is so important. It is however as I close not a thing I'm saying no to involving Mrs. McGarvie but its in her court now, if she wants to be on our network coast to coast in the USA, and on satellite radio and soon TV then her, or her business manager person better get in touch with me ASAP or I'm looking at finding someone in our area and building a sex advce thing Hazzard style.

The SpeedWolf

The Gazzette going to print Highway Hooker Tow Tymez

Well here we have a near to the end of another crappy year. In 2006 I was in near freezing weatherin Wyoming trying to form our radio network there, and despite a bunch of real battles had it not been for a very greedy young lady we might have made it. In January after money became a real issue on renting studio space the same gal decided she and I would relocate to Idaho. With less money and lower brains she, family and I moved to Idaho, not Boise as I had intended but to Burley. With a long forgotten past due trffic citation pending in March I got nearly put in jail, but a bail out by the company and the Rode Eaglez Association I began to see some day light there. By June things were looking good, and thus 3 different business operations were being put into motion. First the radio station/network for all things Hazzard County, but one promised venture capitalist decided to back out due to some medical problems. But I kept plugging away, then came the thought of a southern fried bar/cafe in Burley which I am still working on and of course going towing. The last one should have been first. Frustrated with the ability to get my name for goin towing in front of those trucking on TV and local media flat ignoring me and a concept I had been working on about putting a trucking news and lifestyles program on TV I got in talks with KPIF TV in Pocatello, which is why I am still here. In October I made the leap from Burley to Pocatello so I could put the media thing together. Granted the savings on trying to keep warm for less money every month was part of that decision, but I'm sure as I look back on it I could have done in Burley. For some reason as yet to be determined the manager because of a little Lord Fontleroy thinking some kind of my ideas bordered on Porn, that I had put a link to on Mr Fontleroy's computer and the fact that I look like Waylon Jennings son Shooter I was a bit over the top to reside work wise KPIF's manager did not want me at his station. Okay but I had already put things into motion to move so I could not reverse the situation. So I sit in Pocatello with a service truck that needs two new batteries and an alternator which if I was at my shop in Rupert would be no big deal, but no shop and not making ANY money except what I get from the government both SSI and military retirement, which just about pays the bills and not anything hardly more. Now granted too, money from the recovery of the Montgomery Trust as well as for the Hazzard County Knytes is in gear but as anyone who has ever dealt with a class action law suit knows that takes time. The $60 million that the Trust lost was due to an improper investment concept by the Trust board chair into an annuity whose parent investmet firm went straight into the manure pile. The recovery is about to be see, but only in small payments of $20,million per year until paid. Which means I still struggle money wise. Heck I had to near sell my soul for a can of SKOAL today. Not my soul really as it really meant selling some little watched DVD' movies but still it hurt. I have never been so near broke in my life. Although 2008 looks much better still it gets to me. Okay with that said. Since the radio and all broadcast things a bit in the distance, the Hazzard County Knytes The Rode Eaglez Association and of course the BlackSheep Vintage Aviation Asssociation has decided to go to print, rather than broadcastfor a short few months. In Gooding Idaho is a printer who will because of former good relations to print the Hazzard Gazzette for $300.00 a month. Which is not bad. We can sell advertising and at least get some money coming in. With that in mind I have nearly made up my mind that come early spring about May or so hit the road and move back to the Magic Valley. This does not mean I'm giving up nor is the Hazzard Knytes giving up on the project of buying KPIF TV , however just because we own that TV station does not mean I have to live in Pocatello. In fact if I have my way after the organization buy's the TV station I plan on moving the station to either BlackFoot or American Falls Idaho. Whil the Gate City as it is nick named may look like its growing its really hurting. Neighboring Idaho Falls has leaped past Pocatello as far as growth, but not yet the restrictive conservative mindset of the LDS church. Which means even a simple concept as kissing a womans toe to put some spice to the words TOW and TOE , with our tag we love tow(e)s is seen worse than a womans underwear shop, showing sex toys or a satellie TV dealer asking how big is your TV. Guess it all depends on how much money one has to spend with a TV station. I think its wrong but hey that's why I'm looking to get to buying a TV station to allow even the smaller of retailers and service business's a inexpensive place to place ads. As I close this blog I need to say as I also begin to close out another year. 2008 is the year I get my own show of going towing full bore put together and media, broadcasting and many other things are going to be on a as I can when I can basis. Don't be surprised as well to see more of the Wolf bit on the rear shelf and me as my original on air etc handle of SpeedWrench more rather than less. More on that in a few more laps.

Ignoring an important person

Its been snowing very hard in our region lately and while my bank account especially this year should be filling like a bucket under a water fall it isn't. While its easy to cast blame on alot of other factors and people the fact is it is myself to blame. In an attempt to get some sugar and at least some sort of spotlight on my company to announce that I was back home in the Mini Cassia area and Idaho, I went to just about every TV station, and media outlet between Twin Falls and Pocatello. And just because some prudes in the media thought me kissing some honey toes to put a bit of a play on the words TOW and TOE, some thought that was near having some hussy pose nude by my truck, heck I probably could have got the nude part done, easier than smooching some babes toe(w)s. In an attempt additionally to gain some territory one that is sadly underserved and the local fuzz hates to call outside of county community tow services, eve one that they feel is all too way expensive told me if I were to be there I'd get the major share of the tow market. Power County(American-Falls) Idaho. Then looking north east to Blackfoot to Atomic City to Arco Idaho . The thing is I allowed this media TV bull stuff overide the need to begin with and ignored my trucks and my business. Simply because the local area TV stations are too damn stuck up or scared shitless that if they put my ad on their station with me kissing some cicks toe that a boycott or something on their station will occur. In truth I don't think anyone would care and might just get a good chuckle out of the ad, and remember me and my truck LexiBelle next time they need their fancy Ford Explorer or Isuzu Rodeo recovered from the comedian strip of I-15, I-86 or for that matter Idaho highway 39. However I am telling you here and now, the media thing just became a slight hobby, and I'm kicking in gear getting my rucks going towing this year. Even if I do have to move my six out of Pocatello to either back to Rupert or American Falls. Nuff said. Now why do I call my dear truck LexiBelle? Simple, there is a lady who lives in Blackfoot Idaho, infact if I could find her she would be the model posing with my truck. She used to work for this hamburger joint there called Rupe's Burgers the best fast food in Eastern Idaho period. Any mile this gal named Alexis or Lexi for short, and I met there at Rupe's years ago when both Lexi and I were virgins and my heavy Chevy tow truck was only 2 years old. Late one Halloween night after she got off work we drove out to Lukes Island near Springfield Idaho, and with the help of mr Jack Daniels neither tow truck, myself nor Lexi were no longer virgins. The Belle part is a take off of Pappy Boyington's ayrecraft, LuciBelle named after his second wife. Together for me its LexiBelle. I have not seen Lexi since then although I have ben told that she is in fact around there, but still the owner of Rupe's and I both know the secret and why the utmost respect is paid equally between he and I and why a major sponsor of the Hazzard County Knytes remains Rupe's.

I'll be away from my keyboard for a few weeks, changing ISP's frm Cable One to Teton Wireless here in eastern Idaho, as well as phone service and looking at getting a dish really a Dish for tv. After all before I rake out another $250.00 for media access I can buy a Dish, the ISP half only costs $60.00 and so I'll save some real money. However I just wanted you to know why I wont be doing up the blog as often. Number two at the end of the month I'm headed to Daytona for the testing and tuning of our Sprint series COT, thats Car of Today, by NASCAR. Yes this year its not going to be the Nextel series, but Nextel's sister Sprint. Bet this mixes a bunch of NASCAR fans minds up. They'll see Sprint Races and wont tune in. Any mile I'll be down there getting things set for Dixie Deere Racing's ride number 69 to be rolling around that 1.5 mile oval. So wont be as available until after the 1st of March. After March I'll be moving back west of Pocatello, to as said either American Falls or Rupert. Pocatello is a nice place to pass through but few really want to live here, and the word live is used as an option, its more just survive in Pocatello. And yes to those like my dispatcher Nancy will say they told me so, yes I did move for nothing but hey at least I did make the attempt. Still looking to make the buy of KPIF and all but if I buy that station I'm moving it to either Blackfoot or American Falls.

Need sleep see all in April 2008.

ToW(e) thoughts

Have you ever considered the conditions of certain jobs? Consider this the guy who has to design bras for women do you ever think that the draftsperson sitting there every day looking at pencil sketches of breasts and havng to cover them with new products.I wonder if he goes home and says to himself or his better half, honey I love yours but if I have to look at one more pair of jugs I'm going to go bonkers. Okay then talking about bras, who ever designed that little clasp on the back of bras should be hammered to go back and do a reduex. Of all the things on earth that perplexes us male corpuscles it is getting that bra strap undone in the heat of passion. How about velcro? More l*8*R as we look at the lighter side of going towing.
