Hello and

welcome to another episode of The Gray NATO,

a loose discussion of travel, diving,

driving, gear, and most certainly watches. This is episode

150, our Q&A episode, and we thank you for listening. James, how's it going?

Hey, not too bad, yourself. Oh, it's been an eventful week we lost our beloved

cat last week which I posted about on Instagram and I got a lot of nice

nice thoughts and feedback from a lot of people so thanks to everybody who sent their condolences.

It was, you know, he was 19 so it was expected but it was never easy to lose a beloved pet.

But, you know, as the days pass, the sadness kind of lifts and we're left with a lot of good memories.

So we have our other cat who has always seemed a lot younger even though he's 15 and he's he's doing a good job of keeping his company so

Good I'm glad. Yeah, that's that's a it's kind of heartbreaking. I feel at some level you know I think it's also one of those losses that a lot of people of there. Yeah, but other than that, I mean, it's today's Thursday, July 1st, as this episode goes live and if anybody's

out there listening, and you happen to be in the Twin Cities area, tonight's a kind of a busy night for me.

We've got a book signing, or actually, yeah,

I guess a book signing is what I'm calling it,

but it's more just a launch celebration,

it's more of just a launch celebration for depth charge kind of overdue, but with the COVID restrictions lifting locally and nationally here, I thought it was a good time to invite some folks to Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul to kind of just do a meet and

greet sell a few books. I've got a load of depth charge and deep blue

t-shirts and some posters and stickers and I don't know I think it's going to be a lot of fun I think I've gotten you know anecdotally from from people

tribute pretty good turnout should be a lot of fun so if you're listening

you know before 5 p.m. You know pop by it's from 5 to 8 tonight at Lake Monster. I'd love to see

some TGM listeners out there.
