Doing business in Idaho? What a joke.

Fellow Knytes, did you hear the trash on the news from Boise’s ch-7? According to he news, Idaho’s Governor Otter is inviting Oregon’s and Washington State’ business’s to set up home or shop in Idaho. What a damn joke this is. And the joke is not funny. Let me say to those who might consider the concept of setting up your firms HQ in Idaho. First, Idaho’s infrastructure is not equipped for business’s at least anything large or of a technical nature. Wifi access, Internet , and a list of other things too long for a blog to state, but look more at metro Utah or Wyoming, before you look at Idaho.

Another reason, you should consider carefully your concept of coming to Idaho. Idaho’s education system is at minimum 50 years in the past. Most of Idaho’s youth even if they graduate from High school, do not have commerce skills. Most will never go to higher education like colleges, and technical education is both slim or none. Third, many communities in Idaho are very clannish, clickish, and very closed minded. Look not only at us at AyreWolf Aviation/Hazzard Choppers, but even to other companies that have looked at Idaho, only to find that the labor force not only never measured up, but if you as a company owner or executive do not kiss the six of a local Filthy Fifty, or stroke the right political penus your company will find more hurdles than a caterpillar with fallen arches. If your company does not kiss the ass of the right religious majority, or your company is one whose product or service is out of the box, or an exotic idea. If your product is not of an agricultural nature, look elsewhere. The industrial revolution never made it fully to Idaho and industrial build up, is not on the front burner anywhere in Idaho. Yes Boise is a commerce hub, and much is better there, but look at all the closings going on, then look at the fewer closings in Utah, and then you can see why a decision to set up shop or move your company to Idaho, should really be examined. Don’t get me wrong Idaho is a great place if you want to farm. Or retire, but not to generate business. There just is not the business germination programs that Utah has. So in closing, maybe Governor Otter ought to shut up, aim towards looking at why Utah is succeeding and duplicate those efforts. For an example, check out www.growutahventures.com  and you’ll get the idea.

The jewel of the Mountains or as its called , the Gem state, is very tarnished. Wait until a Governor like Dirk Kempthorne gets back in the big boss’s chair then maybe. But as it is now, Doing business in Idaho? What a joke.

L8R Y’all

Been doing some thinkin

Been doing some thinkin over the last few days and seeing many through a severe haze, that haz been kickin me in the shins, might explain some of the troubles I been in.

Going for  a run to recover a Nissan pick up for Ron today, saw 3 families with kids in a ran shack house out on a few dairies, out yonder towards King Hill. But them there kids were out smiling and playing and not fussing no how. I thought, my what a complicated life we who live further in town must live, if y’ll want to call it livin. More like just survivin out what few hours, or days or even years we all have left. Now there is two things that enter the thought pattern here. We all think that these migrant housing shacks are really well shacks. Thing is to these folks. albeit Mexies, still they is folks and they seem happy. So is our new fangled gadgets, from cell phones to computers to the dreaded Internet all that great? I’m beginning to think not. Yes these tools I use for business both mine, the shops and of course the Knytes, but; that said if I could I’d pull the plug. Certain things I think take away from quality time, parents spend with their kids, as well as kids especially teens  spend  with their parents. The stress over whose looking at you online, plus even trying to get and stay online is enuff to make folks head for the bar, or at least the bottle. Not saying the bottle and or bar wasn’t around b4 computers and internet, but such is enuff to make one drink. People don’t stop to smell the flowers and marvel at God’s creations. This kind of crap aint healthy.

Google’s Gmail haz had a real problem over the last few dayz. Tried to find an answer on their help pages, but no such luck. Of course Google ain’t gunna admit it is on their end. And most if you try to do up a tech advice thing over the damn phone only read from a card, and if the problem ain’t on their card your S-O-L. Been thinkin of trashing some if not all this , and doing up an email with just something Hazzard in the title. Of course ya’ll know the dildoes from MHI even when we do launch the IP radio station at the end of the month, will just need somebody to hold their lil hands and lead them to the site. Too bad the peanuts cain’t watch our CH-11 for the promo ads for the site. Hell these dillweeds probably need a hound dog to sniff it out. Like I said several years ago, most Yankey’s ain’t got the brains of a maggot.

Menyana I’m in bed. Got two tow jobs to run Monday.

One more day until no more poverty

One more day until no more poverty , at least for a few weeks. This month will be different, since wont need to make daily trips to both Gooding and Twinky Flatts.

Some have asked me, if your going broke on all of this, why not give it up? Fact is, one of my main missions in this Earthly life is to put this Internet Radio station and the ultimate Hazzard County web site up on the Internet, if it kills me. Wish I and the club could do a regular radio station right now, but the Feds have a moratorium on new FCC radio stations right now. That said making a call Monday on that. But to give up this for the few that think I should, no way. Phooey on that idea. Yes another pirate station is in the mind for a time. After all once B4 a pirate station pushed the Feds to grant us a tag once so might work again. We see. Only someone willing to fight the system from Hazzard County would be willing to go on board with that plan, and the new hires wouldn’t but they is out of the loop, so we see if we can get that tree to bare fruit.

The Olympics are done finally, glad to be seeing better TV on this next week. Although the few shows I really have gotten into lately on the CW I will continue to watch. Ron suggested rent to own a new TV from a place he goes through so going to look into that next week.  Hauling through Goons Ferry last night saw a ton and a half there for sale, that could be built into a carrier. Price tag? $2k. Pricey but doable. It’s a diesel and a FORD, but good paint, clutch and good rubber. Will snoop it out and let ya’ll know in a few weeks.

Just a reminder to all Knytes members, the Miss Hazzard County 2011 contest pageant is March 27th at Knytes Hall/Boars Nest. Try to get there. A $10K grand prize and some promo prizes , good FREE food, and half off brew.

nurse GoodBody could use a good back rub!

Back in Balance , Trust is of only one

 

Last night into early this morning I sweated like a roasted Hogg. I had a fever of 103 by 02:00 hours this morning, but by 09:00 the fever broke and all things back to the living. Thank goodness for Ron & Terri. Who woke up in the middle of the night drove over here with some Goody’s and other meds, so now I’m back to Hazzard County style normal. Which is not the normal many consider normal. Now that March is within a pubic hair and the dreadful month of February is near through, I’m looking back on the last two months thinking what the fuck was I thinking? I wasn’t thinking, except with the one eyed winky, and a bit of hopefulness. Which outside of Ellie May , should have shut the damn door mid December. Any time you need to go scrap iron to make green just to get to the studio means its not worth it. The thought that a few financially challenged business’s might like getting a serious McDonalds style break on ad rates at only a flat $100.00 a month which bought audio air time, TV ad’s and web banner ads, unlimited placement, That too many thought too good must be a catch. Piss on em. New hires that got a fire under their underwear when they thought was big money, was put on a 60 day test prospect basis, gave up the ship. With that all out of my hair what little of it there is, the thing is all things are beginning to get back into balance. The Knytes are getting some spring in our step, SAMCRO is beginning to forgive, and I’m back into the concept of living instead of dieing. Ellie May remains a friend but that’s it. She is going to be a distant friend and going to church with her weekly ain’t going to happen. She is a friendly acquaintance and I’m not blurring that with personal things like going to Church. There is the Dixie Amalgamated Church just outside of Hazzard and that’s where I should go, not to Jerome each week, where I’ll be examined like a grasshopper under a microscope. Never did cotton to anything not of a Confederate background or southern roots. Yankeys never have gotten it straight in over 234 years and they ain’t about too. Until that is, when the entire USA is under socialism and they are looking to the CSA as where to live. Call it the Civil War Part deoux. There is an old line from a CDB song that goes, trouble with the world today is folks have thrown their bibles away, and are living off the law of the jungle not the law of the land. CSA folks know to trust God above and intercede to give CSA citizens the tools to help themselves not the Government just taking over every part of their lives. As far as Trust, I trust God above, the Knytes, SAMCRO , the AyreWolvez and on a very cautions basis Ellie May. But things are getting back into balance and I’m finally relaxing.

Good TV, on tonight. Thanks Ellie May for everything, see ya’ll Tuesday. Knytes meeting at Knytes Hall Saturday at 8:00PM .

Another week in review

Another week of 2010 in the rear view mirror. Not much happened this past week. Except going to some Doctor that had the smell of germicide so bad that it smelled like an LDS church meeting. By Wednesday , I had food and with some help from Ron fuel and snuff so while I could use both right now, no big deal.

The Knytes are far from being down and out. Yes we suffered something fierce from two points of view. One we lost a good number of good possible new hires. But if they did not have the tenacity to help build up our media operation, in the hard times, what good would they have been in the easier but more fluent times. Unlike true, blood oath Knytes-of-Anarchy members who have pledged both life and death for the club, the new hires fire died, so it was good they left. In time we again will recover and rein as the kings of Confederate style media. The majority of the none club member staff reduction, I think was the result that a few read the blog of you know who, and then decided to exit gracefully. I’ll be more in-depth on that on the AyreWolvez’ blog.

The end of the week comes with Ron gaining two new redoux projects, which mean LexiBelle will be working this coming week. Find myself attracted a bunch to well ya’ll know who, and though I’d like to act on my feelings, respect for Ron and Terri, sezz nope don’t do it. Nurse GoodBody has maintained quite a distance and with me having the flu it is a good idea. Just wish she could fetch me some meds, and I return that value to her on Monday when I get my state aide.

This next two and a half weeks is going to be very busy. Have meetings with web site people to get our streaming super site for Hazzard County and AyreWolvez even though in beta form, up and ready to launch by the end of the month. New on camera talent has been selected and even prepaid. Watch for promo ad’s on both Twin Falls’ CW, and CH-38 here for news on where to point your computer at the end of the month.  

With that until next week, ya’ll keep it tween the ditches and revenuers off your ass.

If older women dating younger men are Cougars. What are men dating younger women? Wolves?

On Tyra today was a segment about older women dating younger men. What’s that all about? Younger men are boys with whiskers. Hell I was stupid about operating women’s trigger points, stamina? Hell, never mind stamina, finding targets of availability was a real challenge. So what’s the attraction? Of course for guys its obvious. Tiny perky breasts, tight juicy vaginas that stay wet, and want to explore new happenings. So if an older woman hunting younger men are Cougars, what do you call older men hunting younger women? Wolvez? Guess the term fits and a description I shall we say firmly accept. The idea of being the Wolf in amongst the sheep is more than just a word, its a way of life. But that’s a subject for another blog. So the question is; if older women going for younger men, what term properly describes older men hunting younger women?

Let me know.

Keep it tween the ditches.

Patience is just for Doctors and do we really need all these IT updates

I have been reading this publication called EWEEK for at least 20 some odd years now. Much of what I know about business computing I have learned from reading the pages of Eweek. Trouble is, just when you get to liking a column or reporter of Eweek, they change the reporter or promote them. The other thing just when you get to liking a certain part of the publication they kill it.

They used to have this part on the back page of Eweek, that was a sort of comic book look to it, that featured a two legged cat called Spencer Kat. For the most part ya’ll didn’t need to read the rest of Eweek, all you needed to do was read Spencer Kat, and you had the weeks IT 411. Then for some odd unknown reason, maybe the Kat wanted more Kat nip who knows, but they killed the feature. But here is where I wonder. If you go online to any of the Ziff Davis web sites to read anything, its no longer a read. They have this idiotic slide show and that’s it. Must be reminders to the geeks that put Eweek, Baseline and a few other Ziff Davis things together of their das in college and eating pizza at the local Shakey ’s Pizza parlor and watching slide shows of the recent ski trip. If they can’t do a better job of producing a product, then either improve or quit. Here are though some suggestions, how about spotlighting unusual IT environments. Like say IT in military aircraft, or even agricultural aviation. Truck transportation, towing and emergency road service. Production as well as what is called Precision Agriculture etc. Show what IT engineers in these areas are doing. This would increase readership, likewise, advertisers. All would be well.

Okay then onto IT upgrades. As I ignited my computer this morning, I got a reminder from AVG to upgrade my virus protection program. Which I dutifully did. The upgrade took about 45 minutes with no real need for me to do anything, trouble is while doing the install, the program disarmed my virus protection program which meant that for that 45 minutes my computer was still hooked to the modem and open to invasion by virus’s , malware etc. Even then, I had to have the program update the update. AVG 9.0 is now operational, but dang Sam, couldn’t they have done better with the update so it would roll out better, the first time.

Then still having trouble getting into my Gmail account. I have to identify myself 2 times, once from the icon in my task bar and then to the sign in, at Gmail. Ever try to find a phone number and a human to call at Google? Doesn’t Google realize there is a problem under its hood and that it might be good to get an IT wrench in there to repair the problem? Now one might say the problem is on my end. Nope, both my Hotmail, and Yahoo email clients work fine automatically logs in and no big problem . Which brings me to my last look at IT this morning.

Since mid summer 2009, when an associate and member of the Knytes-of-Anarchy, turned me on to Ning.com and doing the really important blogs etc there. I have dropped the idea off to Ziff Davis that they ought to spotlight Ning.com . Of all the business and personal blog sites I have ever used from the days of free blogs etc with Microsoft(Msn)to Yahoo, and then Blogger to name three, Ning.com is one of the most uncomplicated there is. Eweek ought to spotlight Ning.com .

More on upgrades Saturday.

L8R Ya’ll
