Speed10 Did you notice?


I hear all the liners from all the Boise area TV stations about covering Idaho, and all, and perhaps one of those did cover this story, but CH-7 did not have one blurb about the vintage ayrecraft that went down just inside the city limits in Burley and turned off the electricity until 23:00 hours Wednesday night. I'd imagine Pocky's stations reported on it and so did CH-11 out of Twinky Flatts, which is SOP sinc CH-11's service area is the Magic Valley including Burley. The problem is with CH-6, 7, having sub stations in Twinky Flatts, it makes it difficult if not impossible to get allocation, let alone a cp or station license to erect a station in the area. But as far as Boise is concerned Burley does not count. Oh sure they have done stories out of our area sometimes, so salute for that, but do they need the whole pie? Something to be looked into don't ya'll think. Maybe the RK can get this rolling? We see.
Drive and tow safely this weekend. There's idiots on the big road. Here's one I'll leave ya'll with. As we all know the term of Wrecker operator, or tow operator is not as politically correct as it once was. How about, Disabled Vehicle Recovery Technician?

Speed9 Too much on Scanners











When I bought my first fuz scanner, it was to make sure I was not getting skipped over on tow calls. This was back in 78 or thereabouts. Then I found I could listen to aircraft overhead and that was much more fun. In many bigger cities fuz evesdroppers don't work well since many law enforcement bodies went to fully digital, or encrypted communications systems. Part of the recent switch from standard TV signals to digital was so public safety agencies(cops) could use the 700mg frequencies. However Idaho with a few exceptions, has not converted from being where every body can hear everything thats going on, on a scanner. Whose getting pinched, or who sn't, whose getting hauled off to the jp, who ain't , when the meatwagon is called out and so on. Intelligence in Law Enforcement sezz that even the worst being popped or about to be, can hear that and vamoose before the fuz ever gets there. Federal agencies except for BLM and such and even those you need to know where to look, frequencies, are encryted. Even if you do somehow find the scanner channels. Tuning in on Smokey has always been around, back in the old days, when the heat, used unused parts of the AM bands to talk one with crystal radio could tune in. But there are just certain tools the fuz has to combat crime, and when that tool is compromized it only gives a hand up to the really bad in our communities. There ought to be laws as to who can have scanners. The fuz, fire department first responders, towers, search and rescue etc, but others no. While there are laws in place that restrict those who respond to a event/emergency heard on scanner traffic or who repeat it are guilty of a felony for doing so, but just like there was once licenses for CB radios the huge amounts of people who own one and many who own more than one, is so vast it'd be a real chore to prosecute those who respond to calls, just to look see, or report on blogs etc something they just heard on a scanner. But the situation needs to be looked at much closer.




Next blog the personal costs of going towing and soon here, ToWHeadz. Tow safely,

Speed5 I know your just itching to know


So I got up this morning , snagged biskits and yummy grave, quart of milk and 3 cups of java. Then it was off to the big MHI Court. Got there a bit early so I sat and watched the world or at least the small world in MHI , until a quarter to 09:00 and strolled in the ECCH. Got undressed nearly to get through the security gate, found the court room and sat down. So things got under way. After several no shows, and some purtty easy sentences,handed out it was my turn. I got up went through the mini cattle gate and sat down. Judge asks, " Do you understand your rights and all? " I sezz yup. He reads off the charge, with possible punishments, asks if I understand? I sezz, "yup." Asked me how do I plead, I sezz not guilty. Asks if I need an attorney? I sezz, "got one" . I gets this pink slip and out the door I went. Needing to get to Burley for an appoinment, by 14:00 , I hauled butt out of MHI. Now here's the skivvy. The place I'm getting into needs new carpet, and is being put in, plus some new paint, so that's bein done. Seein as how I need to be in court on the 15th, figured I might as well hold tight for a very damn few, weeks, get this BS over with, then when I move I wont never ever have to come back. But the Judge there in MHI seems purtty cool. Was hungry as a bear by the time I got to GF, so swung into the Stop, scarfed that down, along with a Ppsi and o-rings, changed threads and out the door I hauled. Got to Burley right on the k-hair, but guess what? All of Burley was dark. From my 411 a byrd jumping off the tarmac at the Burley Airport nailed some power lines on take off. Again an airport that needs ATC. Automated ATC is not bad some places, but the sky is gettin really crowded these days and there just is not much room for automated or just no ATC whatsoever. All certified airports should be required to have ATC. So got done at my appointment, got phones installed in the new place, and have decided for a few laps here, to put AyreWolf Avaition on the shelf as well as radio/media and focus on going towing. Found a good used cab for LexiBelle, so there's my floor pans, two doors, fenders and hood. Found a shop there in Heyburn, impound yard that I can really afford. So looks like things are about to cook. Had dinner at the Wayside, most there asked me where I had been, and of course Nancy was there reminding me that she was right and that I never should have left. I do believe she was right, got back to GF here, to sit and wait for check from Bud, so going to pack. Have to truck over to Gooding in the pm, but outside of that I'm parked until after court. Although I am frustrated tht I can't just flee, to answer the Question of AD's, Yes I'm showing for court, yes I hired an attorney, yes I'm moving, so what's it to you? No I did not avoid you, but believe this, my world does not revolve around you. So here's the finger AD sit and spin. Any mile, lights out while its cool enuff to sleep. FYI guy's the new place has AC. And for $75.00 less than I'm paying now, and its a whole house.
