people everything you know.

It was not long after this that Amanda came back and I explained that Joey was up for it. She went red again but we assured her it was okay. We then made plans, Joey was going to dinner with friends but would join us at the hotel that evening.

Evening came and we were both excited in anticipation. Amanda had showered and gotten into her lingerie with a hotel bathrobe on over.

I got a text from Joey saying he was downstairs and after k!$$in Amanda a brief goodbye I went down to get our friend.

On the way up I explained some of the ground rules like ¢vnd*ms .etc and then we got to the room.

Not sure how much detail I'm allowed to get into on here but oh my what happened next was the most amazing, most intense and most video experience of my life.

Thinking about heading out to your local waterways to spot salmon during their fall migration? In previous years, hot spots for spotting salmon in Toronto included:
📍 Etienne Brulé Park
📍 Raymore Park
📍 Charles Sauriol Conservation Area

It’s that time of year again! Salmon have started swimming up Toronto rivers.

The #salmon in the GTA have begun their migration upstream! It's a great time of year to visit local rivers & streams to catch a glimpse of salmon up close! Join us for TRCA's Adventures of Salmon on Sunday, Oct. 2 at Morningside Park in Toronto. https://t.co/Y9jpbXGS0o

Hey, it’s my friends from @TRCA_HQ, electrofishing in the Keating Channel!

Have you ever encountered a sea lamprey? Their suction is 10 times stronger than the average vacuum cleaner. @vfennalvarado

The natural Toronto Waterfront has been significantly transformed over 200 years, but #didyouknow @TRCA_HQ has restored more than 850ha of habitat and 16,959m of stream since 2012? Learn more about aquatic habitat restoration planning at https://t.co/cY2OsudxBC

Seriously, it’s time to get serious about using less #roadsalt

DID YOU KNOW that PCBs, a toxic compound, were once used in Toronto waterfront industries, but were shown to accumulate in fatty tissues and organs of animals. Today, PCBs still linger in our environment, however, levels have greatly declined in the Toronto AOC fish.

Underwater video is so cool! ❤️

I love seeing into the secret world beneath the water’s surface. 🐟

[Toronto and Region Conservation Authority @TRCA_HQ]

It's FINtastic! Native fish love the new Cherry Street wetlands and aquatic habitat features!

TRCA captured this underwater video for @WaterfrontTO to assess if fish were using habitat created for the Don Mouth Naturalization & Port Lands Flood Protection Project

Great news! TRCA was awarded funds by @ONenvironment to continue its ongoing collaborative work with @RAP_Toronto to improve and restore water quality and aquatic habitats: https://t.co/PEd8u2Vl0F

[Toronto Remedial Action Plan (RAP) @RAP_Toronto]

More than 30 years of monitoring by Toronto RAP partners like @TRCA_HQ and @DFO_Science has produced a robust data set on the health of Toronto's fish population.
