Alright, I heard four call signs and I got W0GL. Thank you for showing up, Adam. Always good to have you around. Peter, VE1, W-I-N, this year from you too. V01, U-K-Z, that's a terrible story. That is the saddest thing I ever heard. It's awful. And KV0, M-A-I, Trucker George. So, let's go to Peter and find out. Peter, how was your weekend? And what's going on for you this week? Yeah, morning. Graham had a good weekend. I'm heading back to Halifax today with Daddy. He's got two appointments. He wants me to drive him back to Halifax. So, we're gonna make a D-Trip out of him. I think we'll head to his anyway. Drop a few things off. I get to drive a Lexus. Whoopee. I don't know his Lexus yet, so this should be interesting. But he's trying to sell his Lexus too, because his wife bought a brand new Lexus and she's driving it back from Ontario. So, here's a Lexus. This is a 2015. He wants $12,000 for it. So, it's not a bad price, I don't think, but it's got 250-something-thousand kilometres on it. So, there you go. Back to you, Graham. I want to eat some breakfast here. I'm gonna be leaving here at about 9 o'clock. So, I'll eat my breakfast here, Graham, and then I'll stick around until I leave. So, back to you, Graham. That is cool. V-E-1-W-I-N. That's K-C-2-P-K-G. And, uh, that sounds like a good price. What, 200-and-some-odd-thousand kilometres on it? They should last, though. Cars like that are built to last. They're built at a slightly higher standard. It makes a big difference. Alright, well, we'll go on to Darrell. Oh, you've got the most depressing story of the day. That is really too bad, Darrell. So, that was your weekend, making that discovery. What else is going on with you? This is K-C-2-P-K-G. Over to you, V-O-1-U-K-Z. Oh, not much, Greg. Yeah, I was pissed, man. I was pretty pissed. First, I was confused. And then, once I looked at it, and my dad looked at it, it was clear. Someone had done it. It was sabotage of some sort. And, uh, that was my weekend, man. I was so depressed over this shit. Yesterday, I literally took a sleeping pill in the daytime. And, uh, slept most of the day, and then stayed awake all night. Uh, last night. I haven't slept, um, last night. I did yesterday in the afternoon, so, I mean, I'm tired, but I'm not really tired. I'm just more angry. The reels are spinning, man. I mean, I've got stuff here I could settle, you know, to cover it. But, I really don't want to be doing that, you know, without other things that I love, so, it's just a pain in the ass, man, is what it is, to be honest with you. But, I don't know what I can do about it, so, there's no sense in really dwelling on it. It's just so fresh in my mind that it's, you know, it just got me so pissed off. And, uh, yeah, anyway, what do you do? Well, yeah, it looks like the exhaust is completely snapped off. I don't know if you know, like, how they, you know, like, single cylinder motor works, like, on a motorcycle. The exhaust is, like, bolted to the motor, and then it's, like, it's curved, and then it goes toward the back of the vehicle. Well, right where it connects to the motor, one of the bolts are completely snapped off inside the motor, like, where it bolts on. So, a buddy of mine said that it's probably, well, it's going to need a new exhaust, chances are, because the old one is all dented up. And, uh, the, possibly, the top of the motor, like, just the head part, uh, the motor itself is still fine. I mean, I went out and I started up, and I started up first full, good to go, let's go ride. But I noticed right away it was really loud. And, uh, when I went to, you know, when I started riding it, it was really, really loud. And I could hear a rattling, and it was the exhaust pipe, man. So, yeah, you can't even ride it the way it is now. It'll literally burn up the guts of the motor if it's ridden the way it is now. So, I was told, don't even start it, don't even move it. So, I don't know, man. It had to be done when all that crap was going on over the last couple months with my neighbors and whatnot. Someone probably thought it was my neighbors and gave it a kick. That's what it looks like was done with my dad sitting. It looks like someone kicked it and landed right on the side of the tailpipe and just snapped it off. So, I don't freaking know, man. I'm just disgusted. But anyway, hopefully someone else has got some happier news today. VL1UKZ, I get on the positive side, let me reset. It's sunny, and we're finally starting to get some warm temperatures up here. We've got 22 degrees Celsius right now. It's a nice morning here. This is like the part of the summer, man. Prime riding time. And, no, that ain't gonna happen. VL1UKZ. VL1UKZ, this is KC2PKG. You know what? I haven't seen it, but I bet somebody hit it with a car. They just drove into it and then turned around and went away. Because to do that kind of damage to snap off a bolt on the exhaust, I don't think you can do that with a kick. I mean, it's a trail bike. It's built tough. So, I would be suspicious if somebody either backed into it or hit it from the side, something like that. And that's really too bad. I don't know if it's pretty, that bike has served you pretty well. You might think more about replacing it for that kind of money rather than fixing the old one up. But, it'll be up to you. You get to think about it now for a very long time. KCOMAI, George, this is KC2PKG. How was your weekend? And what are you doing this week? This is KC2PKG, over to you, George. Yeah, it can't be zero in the air right here this morning. You know, everybody. It's a little starting today, but I'm sure it'll get better. How about off getting into it this morning? I thought I rebooted my phone when I was able to get in. I don't know what the heck was causing that problem. It was on my end and a few dropped limbs. I don't know if it was anything like that. My try has been fun, huh? The weekend was just fine. We had a good weekend. I didn't really do anything special. I just got out and cut the graph. I did it all at one time and it was probably a little bit too much for me. I wound up burdened in life. I'm going to hold up as long as I used to. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November to November. I'll start Kilo 6222. About half a day, but still a better Kilo 6222. He had a grandson come over and spend the night. He was still just talking to me. It wasn't scheduled, but he just called up and said, hey, can I spend the night? Yeah, sure. I'm going out. And what else? Did the, I moved to a reset. I've been methurellic at GVT for several months now. And I've always been curious with the plastic gimping. I know the days went up to chat GVT. GVT. I'm quite better, smarter, more usable, supposedly. I just decided what the hell. So I went ahead and did a monthly subscription. And I'm reaching for a couple months to see if I can be a good city editor. I think it's worked out well for money. They kind of give stuff. Do a lot of editing on there. And a lot of research. It seems to give them a lot more. Would you just get better at parking? Yeah, but we'll see. It's just also not shut me down after a few tries. That was one of my biggest problems. I started researching stuff. So I'm asking questions and this, that, and the other. All of a sudden I say, oh, you can come back in about 14 hours. And that bothered me. So, you know, if it's a good day, they do have a plan now where you can buy yearly for like $200. So you save $40 off a year. But I just want to go off right off the bat and pay for it. I want to see if this is a viable thing for me for what I'd like to do. Other than that, I'm just, you know, going to be driving the truck for the rest of the next four days. I like to put you in. Counting the days. Counting the days. I'm not going to do this anymore. You found out me. Changing up my CDL license and never, ever looking truck again. Anyhow, back to net control. KV0MAI. KV0MAI. Yeah, you shortened that recently. Aren't you down to like a year now? And then you're going to retire? I thought you said something like that. Refresh my memory. This is KC2PTG. Yeah, I was hoping December of this year. I'm still working out the medical side. I think I got that all solved. But I'll go for sure by the end of this year. And it's going to be okay for me to take care of him. But I guess not. We're looking to go later in June. So, yeah, less than a year. Well, that's great. That is great. It's nice to know that the end is nigh. Alright, if you'd like to join in on the conversation on the Monday morning, August 11th edition of the Calabunga Net, come down with your call sign. This is KC2PTG.
