Great weather day, temps up to 80. Motorcycle
Jake bought a motorcycle through an online add. He picked the bike up on March 31. Once home he took it for a ride. 24 hours later he drove it to the shop and it quit on him, and he was certain he blew the engine. He was angry, frustrated and beyond sad. He thought maybe he mixed the oil wrong and he blamed himself. Mark and I told him we would figure it out and try and have someone look at it and fix it. Nate S told Jake he could work on it himself, he would learn something. He tore it apart, but didnt know where to begin. He found a Suzuki dealer in Winterset and Jayden went along to drop it off, an hour and a half drive. On the way back, they spent some time on the side of the road. Jak'e truck hasnt been driven farther than 40 minutes anywhere, and it kept overheating. It was in the80's, the warmest day so far and the truck has no air conditioning. It was a hot one as they sat on the road a few times letting it cool. Jayden was a trooper going with her brother. He in return thoroughly washed her truck and trailer spic and span. Later the mechanic called and told Jake the bad news, his motorcycle was trash. He literally told him those words. He said it had been run hard and worn out. The parts are obsolete as the bike is very old. He would put in more than double what he paid to get it fixed. Jake was devastated.

Later I rode horses with Jayden and rode a bike with Luke. I made a couple rounds with Mark while he ran the vertical till Salford. Today I heard that campgrounds and playgrounds are closed now. What next!?
