30, 32. Might have hit 33 like 5 o'clock in the afternoon or something, but it was humid. It was just like hot air. I hate that type of weather. My dog, I have an older dog. I don't want the older dog out there. The dog knows not to go outside. It doesn't like to eat hot air either. Just advisory, smoke, bad air, and all that stuff all mixed together. Sort of puts a damper on summer. Oh yeah, out your way was a noticing in the news. I forgot the province. They're giving you six months in jail if they catch you out in the woods. You go out there in your quad, you go riding around, and you want to put everybody in jail. It was Labrador, maybe, or one of the provinces out there. They are really keeping people out of the woods. We're in Wisconsin. Newfoundland hasn't gone that far yet. We're still allowed in the woods. We're still allowed to ride quads. Oh man, speaking of which, someone did me dirty with my quad. Looks like someone went and banged the exhaust off it with a hammer. I looked at it yesterday, or day before yesterday, I went to take it for a ride. I started it up, man. It was as loud as a bomb. It was just unbelievable. Sounded like a 1980s car with no exhaust on it. And looked at the side of it, and there's two big dents in the exhaust. And the pipe is literally snapped right off, right from the motor. I'm literally pissed. The bike is unusable at this point. I don't know what I'm going to do about it, man, because I'm broke as a joke. Can't get it fixed. And it literally can't be ridden the way it is. And it was fine like a month ago. So I don't know what happened to it. But I can literally take the exhaust and rattle it around with my hand. It's completely smashed from the motor. Yeah, those things could be just rotted out or something. You don't want to ride it like that. You're going to burn the valves out. But yeah, check around on the internet. Yeah, it's really disabled. Now you aren't going to be able to use it unless you burn the engine out. Yeah, you got to get that exhaust thing. Hopefully you can find something on the internet, some generic replacement. I know those things are expensive when I had my Honda. They used to have to buy parts. Matter of fact, I had to let a guy work on it. The thing was they had some motor work that had to be done. And I couldn't do it myself. I remember it was costly when you can't fix things yourself. This is going to need, by the look of it, an exhaust and a top of the head. Because the exhaust, it looks like someone either hit it with a hammer or a rock or something or grabbed it and literally snapped it off right from the head, like the bolt to head bolts where the exhaust fastens to the head are literally snapped off and the exhaust pipe is rattling around. You can take it and physically shake it with your hand. Where it goes, where it connects to the top end of the motor, it's literally all snapped off from there. So someone did it. It was intentional. I don't know how they would have did it. I mean, it was parked in my driveway. And yeah, it's literally destroyed, man. I don't even know what I'm going to do with it. You got to get some cameras or something, surveillance cameras out in your yard. Wow. So much stuff happening out there. Yeah, that's the saddest that happened if it was intentional. That's a different story, but boy, that would be all upset. Yeah, I kind of think that's happening here because of my little nephew. He's not little anymore. He's probably in his 50s. But yeah, when he had a Honda 125 and he, I took him out a few times. He had a trailer to call the bikes out. A bunch of us will go biking. And he broke the exhaust pipe right where it goes into the motor. There was two bolts, one on the top and one on the bottom. The one on the top that hold it on, it was still tight. But the other one was shared off. And the guy wrapped it with one of these bolts with the wire in there to try to hold it on. This is reviewer station 2-0-2-0-7, November, Quebec, November, with All-Star No. 62 located in Shelton, Washington. Motor worked on to have that replaced. But it's a bad spot to have a problem. That's exactly what's happened. But it's one of the bolts has snapped off. So the thing is like literally rattling. It's only held down by one bolt. And there's a big old gap between the exhaust and the head. And someone definitely did it, man. There's no disputing it whatsoever. It was literally, it was cracked. It's not, and the exhaust on this quad is not, I mean, I've got a bash guard underneath it. So there's no disputing it whatsoever. So there's no way it happened. Last time I rode it, I only rode it around a neighborhood and it was fine. But when I started up on Saturday, I was, man, I was, what the hell is going on with this? And because my dad and I were after fixing the air intake. So I took it for a ride and I heard this rattling. Every time I'd like, when I'd hit the gas, just rattling. And it was really, really loud. So I pulled the bike over and I just looked down at the exhaust and it was almost just hanging there. By one bolt. And I had a friend of mine look at it yesterday and he said, man, he said, that bolt, that one bolt snapped off inside the top end of the head, you know, the top part of the motor. And he said, that's gonna have to be drilled out. He said, you gotta get the exhaust off and drill it out. And he said, you're probably gonna have to replace the top end of the head. In which case I'd probably need a new piston and have the inside of the new head out for the new piston. And then I'd take completely new exhaust from the motor to the back. Wow, that's been across some bucks. Wow, I hope that, are you sure the heads have to come off? Or if he drills that bolt out that snapped in there and he does a nice job and takes his time, he'll be able to twist that snapped in ahead of that bolt off. He just put a new exhaust system on and leave it at that. Or does he have to take the motor apart? The head of the motor is gonna have to come off to even work on it. To try to drill and tap those screws or that screw. I don't know what's going on with the second one, but one of them is completely broken off. It looks like someone took the exhaust and grabbed it with their hand and yanked on it or struck it with something really heavy like a hammer or something like that. And we've got cameras in the front of the house, man. But unfortunately where my bike is parked is just outside the viewing zone of the camera. But I can't see like why someone would do it. You know, I haven't been riding the bike in several months very much. You know, just enough to drive it back and forth the driveway so nothing seizes up. And when I took it for a little ride yesterday, I mean, or Saturday, I mean, it rode fine. But it's loud and without the exhaust on it, like you said, you can't ride it that way because it'll burn out the internals of the motor, the valves and the seals and stuff like that. And it'll burn it all out. My buddy thinks it's at least gonna cost probably six or 700 bucks to set it right. That's about what I was gonna say, about 500 bucks, what you're talking, depending upon how much that tailpipe costs. Now I understand because the thing is, if you're gonna have to pull the heads off just to tap that bolt out, you might as well have it re-ringed or, you know, put a little bit money in it, especially if you know the bike better than anybody. If it needs to, if it looks good, put new rings in it and try to, because the motor's already apart. The rings bother you all so much. Oh, now the compression on the motor and everything is fine. You pull the cord, that thing starts first pull. No trouble at all, every time. You barely even get a choke at the start. I mean, all of that, the motor, internals, everything is fine. The brakes are fine. The frame of the bike is fine. Seat, plastics, I mean, look at the bike, it looks good. It's not beat up or anything like that, but whatever the hell caused this, man, it looks like someone beat on it. And I was literally depressed about it the whole day yesterday. I was extremely upset because, like you say, that's my transportation, right? And where I'm not working, expenses like that just fly out of nowhere. It's a really difficult thing to, really difficult thing to grasp. And like you say, it's getting to the par of the summer now where it's nice and it's good to get out riding and stuff. There's not a pile of rain and mud in the woods. And so I was thinking I was getting all excited, you know, for the next couple of months to be able to ride every day. And now it's just like, I've got a frigging five or 600 pound paper weight sitting in my driveway. I hope you get it fixed up in time. And if you don't get it this season, there's always this coming spring. You know, that happens. And now you get what we were talking about, they might not let people out in the woods now. And that's, that could be costly. Boy, my friend just bought a camper top for his Toyota little cat truck. And I'm trying to put something together. So I'm taking his old utility trailer, which is a two wheel trailer, and I'm gonna convert it into a camper. I'm just starting to work on it. I got all that done. And now I'm starting to worry because I'm making a camper to go out camping in the woods. And now I hear they don't want people out in the woods anymore or something. So that got me a little concerned. Yeah, I love camping. Haven't done it at all this year or last year, but really enjoy it. I like going out in the woods, you know, enjoying the nice nature, you know, it's quiet. And I mean, I absolutely love just going out around here. There's like a bunch of different ponds. You can go and you can sit by and, you know, do a little bit of fishing if you want, or you can do trout fishing. You don't need a license for it. The only thing you need a license for here for fishing is cod, or not cods, or salmon. They lifted the license requirement a couple of years ago for commercial or for recreational cod fishing. You're allowed five fish, five cod per person per day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. Out of the fishing season. But yeah, I was pretty pissed then, especially when I didn't realize first why it was so loud. And then when I pulled it back home and it cooled down, I got up underneath it and had a look. And my dad looked at it and he said, man, someone did that. He said, there's no way that that happened just from riding it. I mean, it's a freaking exhaust is destroyed on it. And like literally snapped off from the head. I mean, it was done with force. You could tell, I don't understand why someone would do it, you know, or how someone would do it first thing. Cause I mean, it's in my driveway, but I suppose they've blown up vehicles around here. I don't know if someone thought my neighbor owned it and they gave it a swift kick. Cause that would have done it. My dad said that could have made the dent that's inside of it. Someone could have just wham and kicked the side of the bike and hit the exhaust and snapped it off. That's more than likely what happened. Someone gave it a kick, but it looks to me like someone hit it with a hammer, but I can't see someone going up to it and hitting it with a hammer. But I can see someone that was pissed, maybe thinking it was my neighbor or something and giving it a kick. And that's what it looked like to my dad. And he has better eyesight than I do. So he says it looks like someone kicked it and broke it. Then I'll go with that. But it still pisses me off, man. I don't have that kind of money to get it fricking fixed. And it was in excellent condition, you know, even all the tires on it hold air. And I was pretty depressed yesterday. I gotta say I'm a little better this morning, but I'm still not happy about it. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Peter. You know, it probably was something to do with the neighbor with all the commotion you had there. It wasn't probably anything to do with your nickname. You know, I don't know how he broke that off because those things are really bolted on. Even a hammering, you really have to give that thing a whack. So I wonder if you, I don't think you ever hit anything with it, I don't know where it is or accidentally or something, but that seems like really a hard thing to do. You know, I had that happen to me. My tower, my neighbor called me up when I was living in Montreal. They said, hey, your tower's down. And it looks like somebody dumped it on your house. And I never figured out who did it, why or whatever. You know, probably it was ugly and nobody liked looking at the antennas anymore. But I had a 65 foot tower. It was actually up to 70 feet where the antenna was, everything ruined. You know, just like that. Thousands of dollars just ruined. For no reason at all. I don't know who did it. Anyway, I had to get over that. Yeah, first shut up and then it's going to start. I hope everybody, I was going to ask Peter, did you hear? They're not allowing people out in the woods? Nope, they're not allowing people in the woods here in the Brunswick or Nova Scotia or Pei'ahe either, I don't think. Yeah, you can't go in the woods at all. You can't go on the trails here in Shagak that you used to take the bike on. There's some old railroad. The old railroads, they tore up years ago and made it into a multi-use path or whatever. Can't go on that anymore. As of yesterday morning in 1201, yep. Don't want you in the woods or in the past, right? So it doesn't matter today because I'm heading back to Halifax for the day to take Dad down for an appointment, two appointments. So he wants someone to drive so I told him I go. I want to go to the house and drop some stuff off and pick up some. I need to pick up the mail and the toilet paper. So there you go. Yeah, I've been found too good, General. All I got, I know you said your bike was getting got damaged by somebody, I guess. Back over to you, General. The exhaust has snapped off right from the motor. One of the bolts has just been completely snapped off. It looks like someone, my dad said it looks like someone went up to it and gave it a big kick and hit right on the exhaust pipe and snapped it off from the motor. When I went to take it out for a ride on Saturday, it was extremely loud, like very, very loud. And there was like a bad gas smell. And when I got it back to the house, when it cooled down, I had a look and one of the heads or one of the bolts that goes next to the exhaust onto the head of the motor is completely snapped off. And the exhaust pipe, you can literally shake it around with your hand. It's like only holding on by one bolt and the other one is snapped off. And yeah, so it's not rideable the way it is right now. You'll burn out the entire motor if you ride it the way it is now. So it's basically sitting in my driveway like a frigging paperweight. I'm guessing it had something to do with maybe someone thought it belonged to my neighbor, where it's like parked close to the edge of the driveway. And maybe someone walked up to it and just kicked the side of it or something. And when they kicked it, they hit the side of what we're assuming. And they hit the exhaust pipe and just snapped it. And so it's not rideable now. Buddy of mine says I'm going to need a new exhaust and possibly if it can't be screwed out, the snapped off bolt, probably going to need a new head for the motor as well. Stuff like that is easy to find around here because there's lots of Kawasaki Bayou bikes around here from over the years and they haven't changed them much over the years. So parts are easy to find for them. But it's going to be expensive to actually get the job done. He figures between five and seven hundred bucks for the parts and labor to get it done. I'm absolutely devastated, man. I spent the whole day yesterday, I was just depressed. The whole day yesterday there was no explaining that I took a sleeping pill in the afternoon and I just couldn't deal with how pissed off I was. I took a sleeping pill in the afternoon and then stayed up all night. I slept most of the day. I'm just not happy, man. I'm freaking devastated. I was looking forward to taking this thing for the cooler part of the summer and being able to get out and ride. Now it can't even be used. Yeah, that sucks, dude. That really does. I don't know why some people have to do shit like that. Part of my language, but yeah, it's stupid. Yeah, I think you might be right there or probably somebody called your neighbor, I'm assuming. Or I don't know. I don't really know, you know. It's too bad you didn't have a camera and that's why the hell it was terrible. You could have, you know. I bet you had cameras on the house, but maybe at all. We've got one in the front, but where I parked my bike so close to the house, the camera's covered the back end or the driveway, you know, down close to the sidewalk and the whole driveway down there. But up close to the house, that's like a blind spot for the camera. There's one right on the front of the house, but it doesn't see my bike. It sees a little corner at the back end of the tarp that covers the bike and that's it. But yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna do with it, man. I'm pretty upset over the whole thing, I gotta say. But yeah, my dad, I figured someone hit it with a hammer because it has a dent in it and the exhaust pipe on the side where it comes from the motor. And my dad said, no, that's not a hammer. He said someone kicked it. Looks like someone kicked it and then knocked it off. The motor snapped off one of the bolts. They must have given it one good solid kick. For that to happen, for the damage that's done to it. But I don't know, my dad says if I can manage to get it fixed, I can put it down in the garage when I'm not using it. That way it'll be under lock and key. He just gave one of his bikes to my nieces. So there's a spot down in the garage behind the house. So he said if I can get it fixed, I can put it down there. But I'm not hopeful. Nah, that sucks. That really sucks, dude. That's terrible. God. I don't know why people have to be such dickheads, you know? All right, well I'll be quiet here. That's going to start in a minute. So I'll be quiet and wait for me to get started here. I'm going to be quiet here. I'm going to be quiet and wait for you when you're chasing.
