Hello and

welcome to another episode of The Grey Native,

a loose discussion of travel, diving, driving, gear,

and most certainly watches.

This is episode 148 and we thank you for listening.

Hey James, how's it going?

Hey, pretty good man, yourself.

Great, doing well here that's finally cooled off a bit, get to our weather reporting out of the way so you can actually go outside without just collapsing from from heat exhaustion, but no, it's

We're in the thick of summer. I went for a bike ride early this morning and yeah here we are.

Very nice. Yeah, I just got back from the cottage last night. So came back for the recording and to shoot some photos of those Serica divers I mentioned on the last

last episode. Yeah. Yeah, but it was a really just a fantastic weekend in terms of

weather the weather app kept saying, you know, rain in a few hours or

lots of rain on Sunday and it just kind of kept pushing back and pushing back and it ended up

mostly doing it on Monday, which was a work day anyway, so I was kind of sitting inside for most of it to get some deadlines done.

I saw a nano puff sleeve on your Instagram. Is it that cool up there?

It was, yeah. I mean, it warmed up pretty considerably Saturday in parts of Sunday, but when we showed up on Thursday, it was, you know, it was in the in the teens.

Yeah, so by the time it started actually cool off at night, I put it on and there was also a like a it's Mayfly season somehow still.

So there was just about a billion Mayflies and I got tired of them landing on kind of my bare arms and just

opted for a sweater or a nano puff for much of the weekend unless we were out in the sun.

But yeah, went up and put in a vinyl flooring in the

kitchen, which is not something I've, I've installed kind of engineered clicking floors before, but nothing

kind of this easy.
