When reality hits you up the head and bites you by the wallet

Today, I got the happy news that the place in Montpelier Idaho and all could still be had and that I am approved. Yet sadly after putting pencil to paper and prayer I found that I am bound to stay put, no matter the stress. First the ability to recruit let alone hire to take over as GM of KKOD/HazzardAyre Radio, just is not here. There's a reason that the local other OTA station here, does not have LIVE anchors is there are none, and what few there is, wont work for a station tethered to a bikers club . Second, the shop. It's been since 2012 that I have had a working shop to tool on my trucks, toew, as well as build and service customers bikes. Means stay put. Beyond that I was not figuring in utilities, rent on an office for KKOD/HazzardAyre all of it puts me each month at -$127.00 . Plus, is Montpelier, albeit in Idaho, but is Montpelier all that better than Evanston Wyoming? Would it not make much more sense the weather the winter here, make some money this winter toewing, then come May after NAB in Las Vegas(not missing it next year) plus getting married at Sturgis in August next year. Then moving direct to Twin Falls, rather than keep dodging the bullet and just dancing around where this gig, if needed to be transplanted again be better off going straight to where it started? Add to that, the ability to take a tire kicking mission to metro Salt Lake City, experience Google 1g+ there and see where that goes, be better than venturing off like the idiot I was coming here to begin with. 
There are many lessons I learned while serving in the Marines. The major one is if you start something see it through, the Marine moto is do or die. I did not come here from Metro Utah, freeze my butt off, and go through all I have, just to leave with my tail tucked between my legs. 
So for now I'm staying put right here in rusty, stuck-up, slow to accept new out of the box thinking, and finishing the things I started. Plus Rick is joining up with me again, and as long as its just he and I and no or few outsiders this can work. I'm where I need to be. 
Okay then. Ahead warp 5, make it so. Those words are going to be heard  all over the Salt Palace again this coming weekend. Comicconn is in the big SLC and from rumors heard both Captain Kirk's will be there this year. So been working on figuring out what costume I'm going to wear, should I go as a Klingon? Or Bobby from SOA?
 Haven't made my mind up yet. What was funny, and is funny is how many people can't do the V shaped Vulcan salute. Even one of the people hosting one of FX's movie reviews couldn't the other evening. It's not that difficult, even I can do it. 
Now for a piece of sad news. One of the Knytes has passed away. Bryan Keller of Evanston Wyoming, passed away due to a swimming accident. Bryan was the latest addition to the Club, and will be sadly missed. I met Bryan the first time when he first started working at Lotty's here in Evanston. He knew Tammy and all the rest. We reunited at Sud's Brothers here when I first returned to Evanston, and became close over the last two years. In May this year , Bryan was voted on as to be a patched member, pending his Prospect term. Services will be this weekend .
As such in honor of Bryan, this twilight , KKOD/HazzardAyre is quiet, a night of silence. See ya'll at 17:00
