In this dismal existence we call life in the turbo lane its easy to forget ones roots. In the need for greed not just for feed, the Git-R-Done yesterday, before someone else enters the floor and closes the door on that next big deal, we forget that from where and even why began something.
Over the last few years of getting both into as well as on the air after we got thumped in the year 2000 and I re-entered service in the Confederate Marines, the foundation of what the Hazzard Knytes, that later became the Knytes-of-Anarchy as well as sibling the AyreWolvez came from has been, shall I say grossly ignored.
The Hazzard Knytes was initially created out of the membership of the Road Commanders Club a group of rebel minded OTR both long and short haul truckers as well as fledgling toew truckers. Everything evolved out of that. In the interest of retaining that great heritage, I have taken to the highway , rather than so much flying . Mostly to renew that link between our organizations past as well as our future. After all to know where your headed , means to occasionally looking at your trailer, so-to-speak.
This all got in my windshield this morning talking to 8-Ball. He was reminiscing over the concept I had back in about 1987 somewhere of doing a weekly or at least monthly gig on going towing and trucking on TV , combined with delivering the news and views of the industries of trucking and towing, as well as a lifestyles examination from the point of view of the man or woman making their living driving a truck. Similar to AGDAY, but instead of focusing on production agriculture, us doing it about trucking, produced and written by truckers for truckers, delivered by truckers. 8-Ball said he could generate some financial interests as far as ad sponsorship from some of the big trucking companies in metro Utah as well as some of the trucking/trucker suppliers and vendors in metro Utah as well. So of course this got my brain to drain, and I thought hey this might be the road to run for the time between now and when and if the mutual powers that be, brings AyreWolf Aviation to Idaho, if we do at all. For this short haul, focus on going towing since that is something that I can wrap my hands around right now.
So that is the direction I’m heading.
Okay then yesterday, I brought to your attention the fact that while great , Emmie Lou did not bring to the table the same amount of grit and dedication to job at hand to our radio werx that Nurse GoodBody did. With that in mind, Emmie Lou is still a great friend, but she is just no ready to climb aboard this rig again. I can’t truly blame her. After all it goes to an old phrase from a rock tune years ago, called Once bitten , twice shy. I though think that once SSX/Dixie Diesel Radio etc is back up on full power and on the road with a full load she’ll be back to the table. Added to that an associate of hers from the same stable, is looking at getting on board. So no need to fret. That said, few of our former Highway Honeys are ready to get their fannies wet yet. So rather than dwell of the former, lets let off the clutch and fire up a talent search and snag us a few new Dixie-Diesel/Highway Honeys, Even a Miss Dixie Diesel ?
More on that at our next coffee stop.
