What a long weekend and one of our own passes

B4 I get into much this morning have bad news to pass along.

Early Sunday Morning New Years Day at 03:30 hours, Major Mason and his dad were responded to a 8004 10-50 on I-84 south at the Idaho/Utah Border. Through the call, Major Mason’s father John , during hook up procedure was hit and killed by an uninsured , unlicensed Mexican driver.

I responded from here in Heyburn at 04:00 hours to retrieve the wreckage while Major Mason brought home his Dads rig and clean up.

We will be setting up a donation account at Wells Fargo of Burley. Major Mason was on leave from reserve active duty 33rd MEU VMA214 USMC.

Major Mason is a member of both the AyreWolvez and Knytes-of-Anarchy, he was one of the first 10 of the club. My heart and prayers go out to Major Mason and his family.

For more information get in touch with me.

I have been awake and going since Thursday. My mind is writing checks that my body can’t cash. I worked the two trucks here until Sunday afternoon, and took over dispatch at 18:00 hours.

The new year is starting out shitty.

Talk to most of ya’ll Monday.

I know I’m not a pregnant Mexican Woman with ten kids But!!

I know I’m not a pregnant Mexican woman wetback with ten kids, and 9 cousins living with me, but damn do I have to be?

If any of ya’ll ever are put in a spot to where even for a short while need to be on state aid, you’ll see that thought is right on the money.

Now granted its not that big amount of money a mere $53.00 , $3.00 of it is for the ATM fee, but shit, $50.00 is $50.00 and unless your told otherwise, you should get it right on time, right? That would be logical. But in today’s environment, logic is as illusive as a butterfly. (Illusive Butterfly,YouTube) Yet, ya’ll can bet your next flight check, that if ya’ll were a fat Mexican woman(no offense intended) with 10 kids and two in the oven, you’d get that state aid right now pronto. Hell you’d think if there was a problem, they’d contact you. When my grub stakes got cut $11.00 the letter got to me, the list goes on, but I’m soon off this bread train, headed to Atlanta to recert, for both advanced avionics and repair, as well as advanced flight certifications, but shit, right now I’m waiting for money and it ought to have been in the kitty.

Guess I need to just accept the fact that nothing lasts forever.

Damn I’m glad I ain’t hungry

Okay so here it is 2012. Damn years getting off to a grand start, hope it ain’t an omen of the upcoming year. Sitting here, checking my bank account for my auto deposit, which is usually in by now, guess what? Nope. Most likely wont hit until noon, so I’m off to bed.

The reason the delay? Some damn burocrat is still hung over from the ID, H&W New Years party, that should have inputted everything Friday. Becuzz of that ye ole Wolf has to go without grub, for a bit longer. Of course Uncle Sam is on a crippled walk and need some money to pay for a tire that I got fixed on LexiBelle. Try telling Les Schwab that your Military money ain’t in yet cuzz of the holiday, and watch em be pissy assed. Few people understand these things like us in towing. Maybe its becuzz in many respects us in towing are true super stars at least in daily life. We see adversity all over the place. Sure we need to collect, but hey it wasn’t me that screwed the pooch on all my funds throughout late November and December. Speakin of which. While this is sort of the courting stage at this point with the new Payee in BlackFoot and all, one slip up and she’s history. I had compassion with Cuzzin Bud, since he is my cousin, but when I’m paying $40.00 to someone to handle things they best be handling things per my order, or we rather I find someone else, like one of my associates at A1.

I’ll get into more come Sunday night, but 09:00 comes early and so does Church so I’m horizontal. 45 impounds 12 accidents.

Flipping the hot cake

Well here it is. We as a organization and aviators have made it through yet another year, feathers nearly unscathed.

At the end of the year like most humanoids I begin to look at the past year, and even years b4 this one. Wondering can I make MY picture any better? If I can great, if not then what? Do I give up on a dream or aspiration or rework that dream or aspiration into a form that I can work with and makes sense in the environment that I live in. After all ya’ll cain’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Since 1976, when I first saw LexiBelle(my tow truck) to today I have been busting my ass trying to open that magical can of well magic to prosperity in towing. Only in three locations has old LexiBelle made money. Blackfoot, Montpelier, and Boise. That’s Idaho. Of course albeit an up hill battle, but I made money in Utah on Utah’s western Desert highway of I-80. As far as introverted Idaho , no way in hell. So what to do?

Quit? No, but a serious rework both of image, location and structure. Location looks to be near here, but more east of here. Near American Falls, name image, most know it but I’ll hold off the new handle for the premier, of the new company. In the mean time, ye ole wolf here is living to the name AyreWolf, doing everything I can to get into and staying in the air, even to the point of becoming a CFI, and getting more people in the air. Finding or constructing a private air strip somewhere since there’s no room here for one, hey Reeders had to do that, guess we will too. In essence though I have seen all I need to in trucking, towing, and all of that, and I’m just tyred. Nothing gets done regulatory wise. Case-n-point, there’s this thing on FaceBook, about Trucker Rights, and saving old skool independent truck stops. Guess what both have turned into a chat room of hens, or at least that’s what it sounds like. It takes a shit load of balls to really do something in the regulatory arena of trucking, but it takes nearly nothing to sit on line of FaceBook, and fart around on line. I want to hear from the guy or gal that’s really been out on the road late night Christmas eve, with a load of balling bulls in a Wilson brand livestock trailer with an inside dual drive tire flat in snow covering your fuel tanks just north of Dubois Idaho in 9 or colder weather. That’s the guy I want to hear from in trucking.  Oh by the flyway was there done that.

As far as towing, shit outside of the Knytes, the only state towing association that’s welcomed us, is Utah’s. Not Idaho’s, even though I helped to create it. But given credit? Not unless Kahless himself came down in front of Denny Jones of Chubbuck/Pocatello , then maybe. So why? Look, I can make $800.00 an hour in the air flying, I might be able to make $50.00 an hour towing. That’s in Boise. To preserve myself, my business and what little sanity I have left, I’m flying 80 %  towing 20% . Everything else ? When I can. And only if it helps me.

Final approach ? I’m done. I’m making and taking time for myself and AyreWolf Aviation. Everything will be on a as needed when needed basis.

The UAITA is here, sort of:

 

You have to laugh at the absurd. Consider this, KMVT did a bit on their news about drinking and driving. At the end of it they suggested if one has too much to drink, call AAA, which by the way will call ME, or at least one of us from Dixie A1 out to drag your ass and ride home free. Yet no one called, from the Voice of Burley, nor the frigging Weekly News Journal. Again the locals wonder why I am reluctant in joining the local Chamber of Commerce etc. The only reason I still might is so that I can put the blade in the side of many of our adversaries and twist.

Heard that someone was planning on planting a bomb at the headquarters of the newspaper in Burley called the Voice. Heard that the person involved got pissed off about being ignored by them as we in the Knytes  have been, and plans on blowing that public gathering of the Relief Society of Mini Cassia, called a newspaper office up on the 5th of January at 1:00PM.

Serve em right if someone did. Oh well.

Been conversing with a group on line on FaceBook about the values and all of protecting and preservation of truckers rights. The thing is the minute you get a CDL, climb in a rig and get on the road, you don’t have any rights. Nor does anyone respect you or your profession. Been that way for years. Despite the efforts of our organization, the United American Independent Truckers Association the remains of what was once the Independent Truckers Association that was founded by the same feller who started Overdrive Magazine,

To be honest this new group I see in there on FaceBook is like so many that just do a bunch of fussing but not making much sense. Many are either off the road for a ton of reasons , or out of work or both. But it all sounds like the bumbs I remember at those CB club meetings in Twin Falls Idaho among others. It wasn’t until and I’m not bragging, here , but it wasn’t until the prezz of the JR-14, the local Prezz of the I-80 Control CB Club, and my Dad got together, and Dad willing to put serious funding behind the organization that the UAITA got going. Now what? With right at 250K members, nationwide, 125k of that 250 being towing professionals, and the only real voice of the trucking industry that speaks with authority, and has been doing so for nearly 3 decades. Long b4 , I might add, b4 there was an OOIDA.

I’d get into this further, but I got one hell of a headache , been towing since 20:00 hours, I need some sleep.

DayBreak 2

Let’s kick it up a notch. How about an Internet web, thing for those of us OVER the age of 30, more like in our early to mid 50’s.

Some of us who remember what the word quality over quantity meant. For those of us who learned how to do a job, to its best and be proud of it, and can remember when there was a problem, who took responsibility for it rather than escalate it. Escalate, phooey, admit you have no idea what’s wrong with the damn thing, admit your reading a trouble card and beyond that, here’s the REAL phone number of someone that truly has the solution. Better yet, how about scraping these damn call centers and giving us the REAL who, that’s involved. If someone calls for my tow truck, I answer the damn phone. Likewise if someone calls for one of our aircraft, either myself or cuzzin Gordon answers the phone, not some damn call center. If we screw up, we take the blame, but then go about fixing the problem.

Sure that might create, a JOB, for someone, but wait, don’t tell Obamabeenlyin, that something might create a job or he’ll torpedo it sure as that Black fartknocker eating collard greens.

It seems Internet slowness decreases and gets better AFTER 02:00 hours. Here it means most of the local drunks, punks and dopeheads doing the ,  “Lets make a dope deal” online or the child molester or abuser getting offline after not scoring with the quest of snagging another trusting under 15 kid. Same goes for those back northeast .

At 02:00 here its 04:00 or so there, meaning the cockroaches of the night are asleep. So normal conversations can take place between true honest ADULTS.

But then you think you have a place to share ideas with ADULTS and some stupid punk gets in, and really has no idea of what the page is all about. Case-n-Point, there’s this page on FaceBook about the preservation of old skool truck stops. Someone put up this link to something called Truckers Rights. It’s a blogspot gig, but it don’t work worth a bucket of spit.

Mama Wolf used to say, “ Its one thing to let people think your stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt” In this case, if your going to put up a page, make sure the damn thing works , before you link people to it.

Any mile, busy day today getting ready for the run on New Years eve. But I wanted to pass this on as well, neither FoX 35’s news department, nor The Voice, nor the Weekly News Journal, here called, visited or EMAILED me about TOWED. Surprise ya’ll?

Then the Mini Cassia Chamber of Commerce wonders why I’m dragging my feet on joining. Likewise why I’m dragging my butt on advertising etc with any of them. Its the old scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. After all, what better a bit of ink on something that can save a life, keeping someone from driving home drunk, on New Years Eve?

As it was said on Forest Gump, “ Stupid is, as stupid does.”

WyldAyre Daybreak 1

Welcome to WyldAyre DayBreak for Friday the 30th of December 2011.

One more damn day until the end of one hell of a year.

Both myself and the club, are looking to a brighter year in 2012, in the hopes that we’ll get rid of that N, in the White House, out of the White-House. I’m leaning towards Ron Paul, mostly because he was the candidate that the CNP supported last election. Just about and I hope it ain’t no damn Yankee, but just about anyone would be better than what we have now. Heck that Randy Weaver that the Feds off’d a few years ago would be a good leader. Think that kind of thing can’t happen at the lower end of the scale? Think again, shit I hit head on that kind of crap back in 86. It was an election in Power County Idaho, the Sheriff was running unopposed. So for shits and giggles, I filed and threw my name into the mix. Not thinking that I’d truly get elected but to shake up the status quo sort of. I had joked one night at some damn T stop there just outside of American Falls that I was considering a good friend I had on the department as my under-Sheriff and so on.

I suppose the local tin star there thought nothing of it, until I shot a TV ad for the shop, where Anderson’s Body & Glass is now.

Had been in SLC undergoing meetings on my reup, in the Marines. Came to the shop to do some fix it up on my VW pickup, and got popped for, and ya’ll are going to laugh at this, but got popped, for Impersonating a Cop. Got locked up until just after Monday after the election.

Reason I got off? My attorney proved that on the night in question of somebody else harryassing some locals, playing fuzz, I was in SLC, the USMC confirmed it. But to add salt to this the Deputy I knew there in the PCSO as well as a dispatcher that is now a head cheef of Idaho’s Probation And Parole department all left shortly after my court date, since I had.

I should have sued that department up the wazz-zoo, but hell I went from Utah to Pensacola Fl, so who cared? Except the offense still shows up. Yet the USMC still turns a blind eye at it, as they know it was a political piece of shit deal. But am I looking into fixing the problem? Maybe some BIG $’s? Yes.

The only that would prevent me filing a suit? Money. I would settle the thing, but I want big $’s for the whole thing.

Keep ya’ll informed on that.

I have always been a person that believes in truth and honor above all. But dig this, there is a ad/psa running on the local all call media here, about joining the local volunteer fire departments. So I looked into it. Know what? Nope. If ya’ll want to call me I’ll tell ya’ll why, but here’s the thing, why not put a tag on that ad, that says something like , Certain restrictions apply , or something to that effect? Saves me time and them for me applying. Or how about, Don’t apply to small one horse town fire departments cuzz they might be too clannish, to clickish, to want outsiders. At least one would know not to waste time, fussing with em. Shit I’m on the scene of most automotive fires b4 many fire departments and have the fire out.

Think we don’t get action? Think again. That so called Free Credit Report . Com thing never put a disclaimer on their ads, until the Knytes started sqwaking to the Federal Trade Commission amongst other federal agencies. Guess what? Ya’ll see one on there now. Oh and yes ya’ll see it on all their ads.

More L8R today,

Keep it Wings Level
