But, yeah, I've been here, but it's been a really, really long time ago with my original call find. But, uh, yeah, um, that, I guess, answers that question. Yes? Okay, let me just check something here. I'm having any YQJ to list, just so you know. Peter, did you get a chance to answer this? What shouldn't you do on the Calabunga net? And if you didn't, please tell us. I don't know, I think, uh, we should, uh, not, um, I don't know, keep your comments, we have nasty comments, don't post them in the text box. You know, I just, keep to yourself, you know. You want to keep just, just not, uh, I want to here to bash other people, which, what some people, that's all we got an hour here to do is to, uh, bash other people. And I've known, I know a few of them, uh, locally, like in my own, you know, and radio, but, you know, uh, I wouldn't swear on the radio, I've got trouble for that a couple times. That's why I'm no longer in that control. So, yeah, there's a couple years ago, like, that's, that's in the past, but there you go. Well, I don't swear, don't, don't be racist against other people. I've seen people do it on, on RFU. And, uh, yeah, just try to be nice to each other, you know. This is obvious, not like that. So, Fox, before you get up on, on and just say whatever you want at the drop. Gee, don't get out of your zone, Fox. You mean everybody, not ready. So, back to you. All right, well, people love this question. Okay, N-8-Y-Q-J, what do you got to say there, man? Uh, what shouldn't you do on the California Net? That's really gross, down to that. This is KC2-PKG. Boo, boo, boo. Okay, great, hopefully I'm making it from mobile. So, I'm going to a really bad spot. You know, I wouldn't change anything you guys do within the California Net. I love listening to all of the topics and views from other people, you know, and, yes, they are, uh, you know, not everybody agrees on a certain topic, but, um, you know, you, uh, you know, it's time, if you get offended, you think there's always, you know, you turn off, and not, not come back to a California Net. You, uh, you know, you just might not agree with a certain topic, so, uh, I've seen that happen here, where people say they're out of here, uh, because of one topic or another. But, you shouldn't, you shouldn't offend anybody. You know, Ben, uh, his channel on fellow is, the only rule he's got is just be nice. So, yes, the only thing I think that should happen is, uh, you know, dogging another amp with your opinion. Other than that, the way you guys run the California Net, uh, is what keeps bringing me back anyways. So, I wouldn't change anything except, don't, um, you know, get on somebody for their viewpoints. Whether it's in the text box, or, you know, or on the air. Uh, people's got their own opinions of, uh, you know, how they feel about religion, politics, and, and everything else.

We heard from everybody. And we went through a mess of difficult topics. I hope I gold star to all of you on that. We don't want to change the cowpunk in it. We know why people like to come here and listen and talk and express themselves. We also got some instructions from the system manager about what you do when you see somebody abusing the text box or ranting and raving in the text box. You know, he takes a screenshot. He wants to see it. And then they'll make a decision on what they're going to do. For one, hope that we'll all defend that, both on the air and in the text box, that we will try and shut things down before they get out of control. And there's a lot of reasons why that is going on. I don't pretend to know anybody really that well. But it always seems like there are chemicals involved. And what do you do when that happens? Well, our approach is going to be to take a screenshot and then turn it over to the powers that be. All right, it's time for the sign-on round. We are, let's see, what are we now? Oh, 10-04. No head time. Don't hurry anything. My final question was going to be, and what do we do about it? So you guys can think about that, but I don't want to hear your final thoughts. OK, great. Thank you very much. I missed a few sections of the net. I got a call back from the second mechanic, and it was much more than the first one. It was more along the lines of what George was saying. It was $85 an hour, closer to what George was saying. And I think that's what we're going to do. We're going to do a little bit of a search and see what we can do. It was $85 an hour, closer to what George was saying. $20 more an hour expensive than the first place. But it doesn't matter, because I don't think I can, there's no way I can get that, you know, together. Anyway, so, man, I tell you, the rest of my summer just went down the crap hole. And I'm pretty pissed about it. If I find out someone did that intentionally, which they would have had to. I mean, the exhaust is broken off the bike, and it was fine when I rode it the last time, about six or seven weeks ago. So, I don't know. I'm pretty pissed about the whole situation. Waiting on a call back from one more quad repair place. But I think the first quote that I got is going to be the cheapest one. You know, between $500 and $600. And that's parts and labor and all the rest of it there. That's for an exhaust, a head, the two gasket kids, and the rest of it. And all the labor, it'll take about four hours to do, the dude said. And they won't get started. Both places said they won't get started until they've got all the parts there. So you're not going to rack up like tons of hours. He said we won't even go at it until we get everything in, and that's when the actual work starts. He said once they've got all the parts and everything in and ready to go. So, still disheartening. I'm trying to rack my brains now to think if a vehicle could have hit it like you said, Gray, and no. It definitely couldn't have been. It was like a malicious kick or something like that. And I asked the second garage, I never thought about it with the first one, let me reset. I never thought about it, and he said, yeah, if someone was standing back on and like kicked it with their boot, it could easily cause the damage that I'm dealing with. And he said, yeah, don't ride it, he said, the way it is now. If it starts and runs good and whatnot, he said, do not ride it because it will burn out your valves, your valve seals, and your valve lasses or leashes or something, whatever holds your valves in. He said he'll burn up all of that stuff without an exhaust on the bike there. So, he said definitely do not ride it because it will cause way more damage than what I'm currently dealing with. It'll need a top end rebuild, he said, after that. But yeah, man, frustrating nonetheless. I may just go to sleep for the day again, so I don't have to think about it. But then I'm up all bloody late, like I was last night, thinking about it, so I don't know what to do. V01U, KZ, let me reset one time, this is finals, I think, so let me just reset one. I'd like to invite everybody, of course, to stick around for the worldwide friendship net, which will currently be in progress when we get connected to it. I got Dewey here in my lap, he's like laying, sitting on my lap and I'm laying back in the recliner. He's got his head on my chest just purring. I think he can tell I'm stressed out over all this. And he's just got this real big purr going on and it's very soothing in my chest, that real deep purr. Thanks Dewey, little buddy. Maybe you can hear it. I put the handheld down by his mouth and he cuddled his head right into the handheld. Anyway, back over to you, Grey, GreyNet's morning man, really enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the current events trivia, because I've been following the news. Someone said last year or something that I shouldn't have an opinion on current issues, where I don't watch the news and I get my news from the reporting of Grey or whatever it was that they said, remember last year or something, or the year before? So I watch the news now and I watch it very closely about what's actually going on and stuff. So I feel that I'm entitled to have an opinion now, at least based on those standards. Back over to you man, V01 UKC. V01 UKC, this is KC2, P-A-C-1. V01 UKC, this is KC2, P-A-G, 73, man. It doesn't help to worry or fume, as you may be doing. Maybe show MAI. There was sort of a bullying incident going on in the background that I was unaware of, because I don't get on the pre-net and I don't stay on for most of the day and stuff like that, but I think you saw it going on. And so I appreciate a heads up at some point, and it's not your fault, but I think it is an issue that we should deal with. So over to you, KC0 MAI. Final thoughts, George? Yeah, KC0 MAI. Yeah, I did say that. I said with all the things, people who have gotten off the air, they're really hearing that. It's dead. A lot of times it's dead. I think that really what needs to be done is that between the leadership of this net, and getting the chance to get more attention. I don't know what to say. I guess somebody can report it and then send it to somebody else, but I don't know. I'm not gonna make that my fault. I'm pretty much not getting on reporting either. I'm not gonna make that my fault. I'm pretty much not getting on reporting either. Um, I really do feel free to wait until, um, what do you find by the extra 100? What do you find by the extra 100? All-Star Note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. In fact, I've got to, first, let me say one thing, when it comes to this subject, you know, I don't want to see Dorian. I don't want to see the laughing. I don't want to see disrespect. that has a great deal of value for other people. It's just, you know, it's hard. I get upset, I voice my opinion, and it's not, it doesn't do any good, because I, you know, I tend to get rough with my language, so I'm trying to stay away from as much as possible. Anyhow, I hope everybody has a wonderful day, and I will catch you later. KB0MA. KB0MAI George 7-8-3-7, great day. This is KC2-PKG, and we're all defenders of the Caledonia.

The real question, the first one, I was reading about this last week, and actually I've been reading about it for about two weeks now, because of the involvement of the ACLU. And that is people who made comments about Charlie Kirk on Facebook, on X, on other, to social, that were at all negative, came under attack. And that's something, it's a name and shame thing that we've gotten into in the last 10 years, where somebody's offended by your comment, and people come out of the woodwork to call you or write comments about you. And in this case, over 100 people, their employers were called. And they got fired. They got fired or punished for the comments that they made online. The question is this, over 100 people lost their jobs over comments they made about Charlie Kirk on social media. Other users banded together and flooded the employers with comments, emails, phone calls, demanding the firing of the original commenter. Should that be illegal?
