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

diving, driving gear, and most certainly

watches. This is episode 87 and just like with episode 86, we're so happy to say that

Monte watches is sponsoring this episode. A big thank you to Monte and be sure to swing by

Montewatch.com to take a look at their full lineup. Hey Jason how's it going? Hey good

yeah happy happy August last last month of summer. Oh yeah we're in it now for sure.

It is definitely the last month of summer.

How are things there?

Oh, good.

Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, the bugs have all but let up here and, you know, the weather's been been pretty reliable so yeah you're on

you're actually on vacation while we're recording this so thanks for taking a

little time off to do the recording well for sure the show the show must go on to to whatever extent we can and and yeah I am I am on vacation until I think tomorrow and and yeah and then just back to back to the normal but I have been kind of

digging in a little bit on you know getting used to a slower pace trying not to

think too much about work and that sort of thing and just enjoying a bit of the summer

here in Ontario.

I am as what has been rare lately I am recording from my actual home base in Canada, not

the Hodin Ki-HQ in New York.

So, yeah, I mean, it's tough as a freelancer, a permalance person

to actually take vacation.

I think, you know, when you're working from home or mobile

It's just it's hard to kind of shut off so I'm sure you've been

Keeping one eye on your email and maybe doing a little work or something. Yeah
