Hello and

welcome to another episode of the Grey NATO,

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

and most certainly watches. This is episode 157 and we thank you for listening.

Hey James, how's it going?

Oh, you know, not too bad. Another week here in Toronto has gone by. they're starting to feel very similar most

weeks had had a nice little time up at the cottage but other than that just the

tail end of the vacation went well you know since the last episode went out just kind of

kicked back and hung out with a little bit of the fam and jumped off a few docks that sort

of thing how about you perfect perfect yeah yeah I mean the I think I mentioned you earlier, we, Gishani and I've been going for these morning bike rides and it's, man, it's, it's starting to feel like that tail end of summer.

It's a little darker in the morning and a little cooler, which I like.

But yeah, we're kind of moving into that shoulder season here pretty quick.

And yeah, we've got a trip coming up next week. If all goes well with our COVID screening here at the end of this week, we'll be headed off to Bonair for a week of diving. So it'll be the first time outside the country and gosh it's probably been almost two years.

How long since you dove last?

Well, we did some kind of regional stuff last summer.

We were up in Lake Superior a couple of times, but nothing, nothing just kind of swim trunks and a single tank and warm water.

So it'll be fun, it'll be good to kind of reacquaint but that's great I hope that you

don't get any any sort of headaches I have some friends that are as we're

recording this I have traveled to Italy after delaying that trip for, like you said, better part of two years.

Yeah. And they had, they certainly had to jump through some hoops and the biggest thing just seems to be that the,

whether or not your flight will actually happen, seems to be a real dice roll these days.

So I hope that's not the scenario with you being able to get down to Bonair.
