I hate misleading and stupid tv ads

big blog coverROADHOUSE AFTER DARK

I saw this ad on TV-2 KUTV, about this company that insures cars. Company called AMICO, so for giggles I went to their site. Filled the swindle sheet out, and got a quote. Damn near $2,000.00 . Are they fracking kidding? $2,000.00 to insure a $500.00 truck. Nope. The ad says they’re so helpful and all of that, when infact it’s a real rip off, I’m sticking with GEICO.

Then you see these ads for State Farm Insurance, where that hot gal snags up a purse with the money they saved from buying insurance at State Farm. Really? Then there’s that fugdugle old fart in the fishing waders, what a stupid ad.

The trade papers and online things I see always say that TV ad volume against inventory is picking up, wrong. Not with stupid ads. That’s one of the reasons we haven’t done an ad yet. I’d rather sit and wait, until such time that we can get an ad done right, albeit at a budget, still I wont tarnish the reputation or image of Cooter’s A1 Toewing, or Hazzard County Choppers by running a dorky ad, more over, filled with claims that can’t or wont be backed up. Shuck & Jive is fine if your weezling out of a citation from Roscoe or Enos, but not when its your company. All it takes is one really bad ad and you can kiss your reputation and image adios for at least a year, longer in smaller towns. Of course comes the club. The club will not run ads for any of its enterprises unless the ad is as near perfect and intelligent as it can be.

I had plans for being on air this evening and overnight, but mind is tired along with the rest of me, as I close, been noticing signal skips on Comcast. More over the 100mps down and 30 to 50 mps up that I’m paying for, is more like 75 to 80mps down and just over 20mps up. I’ll be calling our sweet Laura Thursday, but maybe an adjustment here might be in order.

Still haven’t heard from Comcast in a exchange of services, ads for a slight modification on our internet connection. You’d think, that a flat rate of $100.00 for us running ads for Comcast, cable/internet/phone etc, would be worth a barter deal, of a reduction of same $100.00 or so on our connection. Especially when we reach more people over a much wider geographic span than any local TV or Radio station, yet they hedge? Oh well.

Any mile see ya’ll at Karen’s(ClubMajor) for breakfast.

Knytes meeting on Friday at 17:00 here at the RoadHouse.

CLUB MAJOR POSTERhcc ad

One by one, bit by bit.

big blog coverONE MAN & A TOW TRUCK[2]

One by one, bit by bit, plucking the demons from my world. Today marx a new day, in many ways. First I’m no longer tethered to Utah nor Idaho. SSI will now be mine to do with as I please. The order was made today, and I can now be my own payee. Meaning no more delays in pay, no more waiting by a mail box, no more waiting days for something that goes into my pocket on the first day of the month. And because its Federal money, means it can come to me anywhere in the USA , no matter where I’m at. This means shedding Yankee for Dixie, and getting out and south.

Next a gal down at the café that the club has its eye on, that I eat at everyday. There’s one shortcake there named Cassie, who is 21 years old. Says she's got a car but the thing blew a head gasket and now will not turn over. Now I told her that I’d fix the thing on the house. Many are seeing something that is not there. See some think I have a crush on the gal, not so. She’s 21 for heck sake, but she’s smart, motivated and can help me and the rest of the crew run that café if in fact we buy it and revamp it into ClubMajor. I fix cars trucks, aircraft, I toew along side of that and for the club I do HazzardAyre. I don’t know diddly about running a choke and gag, ah café. I need a teacher and someone that I can have run it and manage it after I move to Hotlanta. Or thereabouts. Which is what I have in my sights after air school and bringing HazzardAyre to a professional level. As far as moving the toew service and Hazzard Choppers, that’s a hello, lets get at it Charlie thing. It’s also a 8 months to a year off. As far as AyreWolf Aviation, that’s a Wyoming/Idaho/Alaska thing, once I get my rating and all I can fly between locations, but again a year off. But getting back to Cassie, she’s a cool kid, and I like her as just that, a cool kid with lots of gusto and motivation. Past that there is NO ROMANTIC thoughts there. That said there is one there that I do have those thoughts, but it’s a mission impossible. Plus I have learned the café romances never render good results. Flirting gets tips, not romantic interludes.

But , since Cuzzin Bud, put together this thing of a SSI safety net for me, through the witch out of Blackfoot, through the loss of same out of Clearfield Utah, to Charlie , the payee thing has been a burden. That’s saying the least. SSI benefits was to be a short order thing, not a long term dependency thing. But as of today, that’s no longer a problemo.

The next step is LexiBelle, then big shop, then air school, and through it all, HazzardAyre with the goal of 5 years or less in the future not to be limited to $1,000.00 a month, but knocking down several thousands a month.

We’ll be on air l8r this afternoon.

Interstate Hooker on the prowl

A1 BLOG COVERIHSBUTT

Relief from unknown areas. Cable TV via roomy. not bad hose~ works for me.

Seems as much as anyone does something for us in toewing, it seems there is a ton or two of imitators or at least Monkey see, Monkey do types. Case in point. When I created my company in 1978, I named it Highway Hooker Towing. Guess what , several other hooker type handles popped up. Did I get any credit or money for intellectual property? No. Then came our efforts at revitalizing the older towing newspaper, PhooteNotes. Guess what some guy who had a low level truck want ad publication called TruckTrader. Which he added TR FootNotes. Did anyone come to the Rode Knytes Association and say thanks for the inspiration? Much less , all the time I was in Idaho I got TR FootNotes, but since I have been here in Utah, even with several attempts to sign up, haven’t yet seen one issue. However TR FootNotes has become more of a RepoNotes. Little to do with serious towing, which I have since renewed my sub to Tow Times. You’d think that one company, that is 36 years old, owned by the same person(me) with the same truck I started with with 39 added truck in 8 locations split between Idaho and Utah, albeit with different company names, but still Highway Hooker (respelled on purpose) Toewing would get some added respect. But no. That’s okay, inside I’m still the toew truckin, radio guy, that fly’s with Hazzard County Hillbilly roots. But then there is the foot, mostly toe/tow thing.

I did not invent the idea, of swapping out the letters e, for W or W for E, but I have expanded on the idea. The concept fell right in with the very leggy Daisy Duke, Hazzard County image for the company. Many people think I get some thrill sexually or such of smooching a woman's stinky or at least oderiffic toes, especially wearing nylon hose. The nylon thing was thrown in for two reasons, one its albeit only slightly, but more sanitary of me smooching toes for the idea of we luv toews>IJUSTLOVETOEWSbut it gets the idea across that no matter weather, time of day or time of year when the phone rings or the call on ye old CB comes that someone needs a tow , we are all especially me happy to go. The combining the words came from an intern radio host in Gooding. One day Emme Lee said why not just scrunch the words together that illuminates the confusion. It did. The reason was , long before Gooding when the original radio show for us who toew came to fruition, legendary radio personality Bill Mack , kept mispronouncing the word TOW and rhymed it with the word COW. So I had to send a email with the two words TOE and TOW and said you pronounce the word TOW like the word TOE. And that’s how that happened. The tag we luv toews has been our trade mark, for at least 20 of the 36 years we have been in business. But auditioning the quirky shot with female talent usually turns off most women and makes most talent agencies nervous. But at every audition I really look at the feet and especially toes. Since the toes are the focal point is the toes, not the entire foot. It’s a shot that I got from watching Cinderella when the prince put on the glass slipper, I thought I have an idea. Today I proudly run the same ad with the same great gal, that had only two questions on one phone call when I mentioned the idea, her response was simply , Pantyhose or stockings? Like there is a difference? Guess so.

Today the ad looks like this>promo shot And no one has looked back. Now if I can just get TMG of Salt Lake City/Murray Utah to recognize that’s it a bit and nothing self serving , I’ll have seen progress in limited simple thinking.

Since we started doing that of course I have become somewhat of a feet in stockings aficionado. Why is it so important? On camera even with digital editing, slight imperfections to the plain eye is nothing to that camera a bunion, or hammer toe, looks like the nose on Rudolph. Too big a feet looks tacky, even a size 6 with the right toes can look classy. Its being a slight bit kinky without going overboard. And why do we need this?

Most of the subsidiaries as well as the mother company of Highway Hooker Toewing, long ago except for ISP/WHP/UHP, we are not on city and county law enforcement towing rotation or call out lists. We go for being the preferred company people want to call , rather than the one that is none preference. To do that we need to be a bit more progressive, aggressive and over the top a bit in advertising and marketing. So from billboards, to newsrag ads to TV ads, that smooch on the toes in hose, by LexiBelle>Lexi in green< puts the image in a potential customers mind, as well as our current customers memory. Thus when they need to get hooked, They may not always remember the company name , but they remember the guy kissing a gals toes by a toew truck. And we get calls.

Now to close this out and I’ll expand on it l8r, HazzardAyre Radio will be adding our old radio show for us who toew. Called; Interstate Hooker Radio, replacing Highway Hooker Radio. Reason? Some said that by running the show seemed to self serving for Highway Hooker Toewing we we tweaked it a bit.

The premier of Interstate Hooker Radio will start this October with visuals on our www.livestream.com/hazzardayre channel.

Until this evening,

TTYL

People from India stay there , shut up and learn ENGLISH

big blog covercooters journal cover

So here I am, Cable internet paid on, inside the Lair here digging on the grooves of HazzardAyre in the morning, and guess what I get? A call from somewhere in India.

The guy on the other end of the landline was seriously Indian, no not Native American, the country of India. I could barely understand him. Something to verify or something my vehicle insurance. Which would be good, but outside of Progressive, I don’t know anyone that carries tow truck insurance. Especially on rigs 30 years old, as in the case of LexiBelle>Lexi in greenor WolfPup>GREETINGSso that killed the call, but I told this Indian guy that and had to explain to him what I drove. Besides, even if I was in the market for passenger car insurance which I kinda am for General Jackson>51021679-2740-4ddd-a92f-0cc3388bc1d1still I’d not tell someone from a distant nation anything about my vehicle or give personal 411. These are the kinds of frauds perpetrated by telemarket fraudsters. No way.

Can or should we block all foreign relations with India? No I don’t think so, but first lets lower worker requirement paper work so such jobs can stay in AMERICA, and two mandate, if these people are going to call AMERICANS lets make sure they can speak English.

Strong winds this morning through Weber canyon along I-84 to US HWY 89, in Utah. West winds at 50mph were reported, I caught some at near 70MPH, as measured by moving radar.

Finally, there must have been a house cleaning at Comcast’ Layton Utah office. Not only was I greeted by friendly smiles, I didn’t have to count out the money for the teller. Imagine that. Maybe some of my grumping must be doing something. Glad that chubby Mexicali woman wasn’t there.

Now just waiting on Jeff and rent money. He’s got until Tuesday. No rent he’s outta here.

A Snag and Drag Monday ahead

MY A1 BLOG COVERcpj 2

It looks like a Snag and Drag Monday ahead. Weatherbug reports rain this afternoon, increasing to heavy rain Tuesday, so I’d be willing to guess we’ll get busy just after lunch time.

This past weekend was good, not as much volume as I’d have expected , but 24 tows is good enough. I told ya’ll things would start getting better. Once LexiBelle is down here, and we have all our ads and all the promo stuff done the volume should increase.

Gotta go down yonder to Layton in the early AM, to pay on Comcast, then SSI to get that paperwork done so should be at quarters around 15:00 or so.

For those wondering cuzz its been all over the squawk box, right now the young seatcover down at Karen's is just a good gal pal, could go further , but a gal with child is a bit heavy duty for the old Wolf here. I’m taking Devin’ idea and see where it goes from there.

Remember the buy if it goes , of Karen’ if it goes, is a club gig, not ours. Its Maj. Mason’ deal, and while we all support him and the club we are just spectators right now, so don’t open your mouths about anything there.

I tried to put something up on that I’m Proud to Be a Member of the towing Profession, but it most likely will not go very far. Seems to me like a bunch of eastern ass kissers there and little else. They must not like older tow trucks and us with mucho toew years under our britches.

Finally got some response from TowBabes, that will cost us , but putting up pics of LexiBelle, Sugar, WolfPup, and RoadWolf, should get some tungs waggin, especially with babes posing with em. Speaking of which I’ll get in touch with TMG and Vickie this week, find out where we stand there and see what it’ll take to move forward.

And on Jeff, we’ll see. Rent by Tuesday, or he’s outta here.
