Sneaky little bastards aren't they

























It never fails , open your email and you find spam. Stupid ads that you can but then are not always spam, or some that are generated through harvesting your name or companies name, that you think might be from one of your people, yet contain drive by malware or worse. Case-n-Point , my hotmail account gets this the worst. Once by some idiotic teen somewhere in Africa or someplace, got a FaceBook account in my screen name yet is not me. Not unless I grew tits and a twat. Yet I never got a confirmation notice , yet a notice that , that account has activity yet its not my activity. Ever try to call FaceBook on the phone and say you messed up? Google has problems when changing passwords. If you change passwords, everything gets wiped out, so I purtty much leave that one alone. MSN's hotmail is a bit more forgiving but not by much, even then there is not much , short of getting an attorney involved no phone in help desk. While the Internet is a great place to generate business from, and many firms in our industry uses it, it does have its own mine fields. In most cases, I use tried and true methods in doing important business. Either by phone, in person or ye ole snail mail. Which brings me to another diddy.


The other night at near 15:00 hours the bells go off on a major tow. Two trucks responded. Me & Rick in one, Big Ricky in another. Both with twin winches but single boom. Which meant having to back up directly at what your going to recover. Blocking traffic and requiring traffic control. While modern equipment is a bit faster than my old Holmes mechanical trucks, still because I have the luxury of true split, twin booms means I can sit on the shoulder of the highway, with outriggers, and winch out rather than me slyding into the ditch and making a situation even worse. I reviewd this in one of my blogs called, pull it out the same way it went in. The fact that I could have gotten out the pup trailer faster with a split twin boom, the job took longer than it might have otherwize. There is no substitution for pure cubic inches and horsepower. Solid American steel will out perform, many of these newer half aluminum trucks of today. Size does matter, and while I'd never try to recover a full sized class 8 truck with DixieBelle, still my good old Heavy Hooker Mack with the 750 Holmes twin boom split would have pulled that rig out much easier.


Whether its computers or tow trucks, sometimes the older rigs can do the job much better. Old does not mean done.

Its once again the time of month when the previous months bills get paid, pay checks go out, stores get crowded as Welfare and monthly payment checks get cashed. So there is a bottleneck. Even then there is a serious concern that the swamp will not be able to be crossed. I got my power bill for the Rat Shaq here yesterday. $215.00 . Which is about $75.00 more than I make here. While the damn bill got paid, still the concern here is, is this amiable, is it intelligent to remain here or would going west to Buhl to be next to Twin for the radio gig, or going east to Wyoming for the going toewing gig, be smarter? The answer will be determined through a test I floated on Craig’s List. Posting on air jobs for the clubs radio operation, if there is enough stimulation here and people do want to go to work, then we have a direction and desire to remain on station here. In the other lane, few or next to zero response to the ads mean, low noise, low interest and or able applicants, means this...

  Truth in advertising will set you free and make you more credible but not always more profitable. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t advocate lining up unprovable or outright fibs to bolster a company , or make claims that are not doable or even smart, if they are really honored at all. Here at all things AyreWolf Aviation/Hazzard County Choppers (BlackSheep Toewing) we have always believed in doing business truthfully, and in a way that adds to the diversity that is America, as well as the Mountain West. However , there are those that suck on the hind teat of a fat media cow or put things out that while be truthful on the surface may not be what its supposed to be. Or at least the TV news blurb did not tell the entire story. Such as: New web site been out since mid 2010 called Pinterest,.com Kinda like a FaceBook, and no where near the quality of Google. Any mile so I go check it out. Its not as user friendly as claimed, not as well absorbed by us male corpuscles, and not anythi...

Most of you know this already but for the few that don’t here goes. For me, and it is me, the pursuit of going toewing under Dixie Toewing has been good, everywhere except here. Over night Correy and I had a long talk, and it is agreed that Dixie Toewing will become BlackSheep Towing, in honor of and in memory of the outfit I and Correy and a very select few flew with, called the BlackSheep Squadron VMF214 and l8r, VMA214. BlackSheep Toewing will become active just after August as it’ll take that long to repaint, in Corsair Blue/gray , and do up the printing of cards, invoices, uniforms and so on, but there is a change on the horizon, and I thought many of you should know. Am I getting out of the club, no. Since the club is so much a part of me that getting out of the club, would be like cutting off my arm or leg , I just can’t do it. Has my faith and love of the modern confederacy and the resurrection of Dixie and the Confederate States of America gone? No. But I will say the deth...
