Hello and welcome to another episode of the Gray Native, a hoodinky podcast. It's a loose discussion of travel, diving, driving, gear, and most certainly watches.

This is episode 101, and it's proudly brought to you by Alps and meters.

I'm of course joined with my co-host, Jason Heaton.

Jason, how you doing?

Great, yeah. Doing really well here.

Kind of getting a little, winter is getting a little long now. Kind of ready for

ready for something new, but you know, holding my own. Yeah, I'm very much over winter. I was in New York for a little while

before this recording and over the weekend Sunday was just Sunday and Monday the long weekend was just this

gorgeous sunny day that like was very much like a spring sort of day and I was like I

need this to come back but I mean we are most of our way to March. So that is what it is. But I got home to Toronto and it's

it's chilly. Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's been a good winter. We've had decent snow and we've gotten a bit of skiing in and

plenty of sunshine, which is always nice but yeah it's it's time it's time to move on ready to get on the bike

and do some hiking and kind of get outside a bit. Yeah I I want to take the top off the jeep.

Definitely want to do a little bit of hiking,

some camping.

There's some stuff I'm pretty insanely excited about

for the cleaner weather, if we'll say.

Are you going to go full-topless in the jeep? Are you going to take the whole thing off? Do you think?

You know, I have the, I won't go too deep into this. I have the, but the jeep or the one that I bought has both

tops. Yeah. So I have a black soft rider, sun ride or whatever they're called.

And when I bought it, it had several pieces in cardboard boxes and ziploc bags.

So yes, I would like to at least try one summer
