Every day I see groups and pages on dear old and it is getting very old, Facebook, start, run for a few days or even a month then are gone in a puff of the smoke that they were blowing up someones ass. I have been seeing more flakes and ignorance on Facebook lately as well. There's several sources of this unrest. First , like or hate Trump, many voted him in, many sat on the fence, some didn't vote at all, but will squawk about the way the nation is headed. There are way too many sitting in they're cubby holes , sucking off the hind teat of our nations Federal bounty. Don't get me wrong there's people that both deserve it and need it to survive due to illness or injury. Hey , I earned my Federal benefits, as well as my Marine pension. Then of course there are those, that suck up Federal funds and just ingest weed or meth and bitch about life , mostly their own, on places like Facebook, or find fault with someone or some group that they are jealous of, envious of, or that when their loyalty or whatever didn't pan out were given the boot, so now its boo-hoo time.
I don't claim to be a Pied Piper of know all things, because I don't. There's always something new to learn. What I can say is this; since 1967 what has grown into the Knytes-of-Dixie, some 250k membership nationwide and now both Australia and Canada has done so, because all that the Knytes are, is a result of common goals, common sense, and common focus. Just because its not there, does not mean it can't be. Likewise if the Mountain wont come to Mahamad, don't mean Mohamad can't go to the Mountain. And we have done it all legally, albeit borderline legal, but still legally.
The Knytes never ask or have asked for kudos or thanks although an occassional salute for jobs well done, or the fact that we fixed a community problem or did a toy run delivery or fed many of the poor with meals on wheels would be a grand salute to us as an organization. We do what we do for the love of the communities we have charters in, we do it for the love we have for our confederacy and our southern brethren, the love we have for our rides, our Marine unit, but mostly for the real love we have for each other.
Granted not everybody loves us, many shun us or disgard us due to things taking too long to get done, or for something that we backed out of, or someone we decided wasn't KOD material. The reason, the Knytes have remained together for so long is that in many cases we have learned through trial by fire. As such if we stub our toes, we then look at things a bit more careful the next time.
What I can say is this, whether its through Facebook, Blogger, TV, or The radio. The Knytes-of-Dixie will be here fighting for today's Confederacy, and our love of tires and steel, just as sure as the sun comes up in the east.
This last week we rather I as the Executive VP of the Knytes, had a perrty good week. Although dealing with a computer that's having caniption fits, think I need a new one for the radio gig and all. But I was able to make contact with this sugar named Amber. Don't know why she opened up to me, since all I wanted to do at Suds is eat and see if I could be there without someone growling at me. But Amber and I talked during the time I scarfed down my grub. It became a thought, maybe she could with some training be an on air person, or at least a part time Production Assistant or something. Look she's got offspring, needs green, so thought why not take a look and see. So I made my pitch. She said she'd be out. Now thankfully she didn't since me and the computer were having issues, but with that near okay, Wednesday asked her again, same song. Stayed at studio here at the Lair, yet no show. If all I had to do is mess with the radio gig this would not be okay, however LexiBelle needs work still, then LiL Wolf needs to get done, so at the end of May I can haul them over to Twin Falls Idaho, where I'll be living along with my Shelly. Which is why I'm pressed to getting someone trained well enough to take my throne once I do move on and for the radio station/network here. Granted $20.00 a hour is not much but thing is in 6 months, depending on dependability and performance could be making $30.00 to $50.00 an hour. So I am a bit put off by Amber's reluctance. But its nothing new since this is after all Evanston Wyoming.
Granted when we recruited in Twin Falls, out of 30 applicants we usually narrowed it down to a mere 10 then to the 5 gals we needed, but at least 30 would apply, and none were bashful or hessitant of coming over to the Lair there. Granted we live in very strange times, the old coin saying of you have a shaft, she has a snatch and that makes many that will be required to work in close quarters nervous. Home radio studios are nothing new. Most major and even minor recording artists and webcasters have home studios. Many with over the air stations the guys and gals on air have home studios. If one doesn't your not doing your best and honing your craft or abilities. So we wait. I can tell you this; I'm not going to beg Amber to come over and pour money into that tip jar or eat there at Suds as often if she doesn't soon come over. Now true she may not be interested in our career opening. That's cool, but I don't appreciate anyone telling me they are going to do something, say their interested in our gig, then not show. Just like some of the maybe pin up girls we tried to bring on board here in Etown, that never showed. If their not interested, just say I'm not interested. Or thanks but no thanks. That way we don't waste each others time.
Then there was Sydney, out at the Pilot, she said yes I'm interested, yet after 5 months no show, no call. Okay fine, but why not just be honest and say something like their happy where they are? And be done with it. It's not going to make a difference in the tip I leave, or how much I spend on food or fuel, at a paticular place. In fact I'd appreciate the honesty and would spend more there. When I get jacked up, so does the Knytes, and that's when 250,000 members no longer go there, ever.
