Hello and welcome to another episode of The Grey NATO. It's a loose discussion of travel,

diving, driving gear, and most certainly watches this is episode 162 we thank you so much for listening

hey Jason how you doing I am doing just fine it's a very cool morning I've we slept with the windows

open last night man it's like in the 40s here.

That's a boy. Yeah. Yeah. 40s. Yeah, we're not quite that low. We had some rain overnight.

But it's definitely, you know, it's fall and it's kind of nice. I was at the cottage cottage this weekend it was right on that line where you actually get kind of cold getting in and out of the water

it's not cold the swim or anything like it's a little chilly your first jump in it's but it was still nice and then in the afternoon it was actually just on the warm side so I mean

September in in this part of the world is pretty nice. It's my favorite month yeah I love it and yeah there you go.

We've, there's plenty of good hiking around here. We can just get out, just be outside as much as possible. I think that's kind of my, that's going to be my motto this fall is just to soak it up because it's the best season,'s the best weather I love kind of you know I think we've talked about it

shorts and a sweater kind of thing I love that combination and so yeah I've been out on the bike a fair bit lately, enough that I'm now learning on this bike what needs to be fixed.

And I need to make a few modifications, you know, I'm used to a certain sort of set up on my indoor bike and then I've got this great outdoor

Like that my father found for me and it's really nice. It's it's a better bike than I've ever owned in any condition

So probably the first one that ever really fits my kind of weird frame.

I've got a lot of leg.

So it's a huge bike.

But it needs new tires and it's

The way that the derailers are working and the the handlebars are like you know those really wide ones?

Yeah. It's almost like a straight bar across but the
