I’ll go first. Franz Marc. I particularly like “Blaues Pferd I”. I love me some German expressionism.

I work hourly and use my watch with IFTTT to log my hours into a Google sheets spreadsheet with a single button push. I need this type of integration but am struggling to find a non Google alternative that will work with IFTTT. Any recommendations?

Maybe this is already a well known fact to most of you but I only just discovered it and it’s made me a bit sad! The little jar symbol with a number in it on skincare and make up products tells you how many months it is good for after you open it. Often it’s a really short amount of time. I guess that teaches me to stop buying pricey skincare that I justify by not using as often so it lasts longer!

I am not knowledgeable when it comes to photography but I often find myself looking up at the beautiful night sky while out at sea and away from light pollution, and would really like to capture it somehow. Video or photo, either would be swell. The little I know tells me this really isn’t going to be possible on a boat, what with all the rocking. I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas/ camera recommendations or shall I just keep it as a beautiful memory?

Crewing on somebody else’s boat soon for week and while i usually just use face wash on my boat, this one is smaller and has more people on it so I am unsure of the water situation. I want to pack face wipes instead for cleansing but I am prone to break outs and also have sensitive skin. Any face wipe recommendations out there?

I bought some Edwin 503s in Japan a couple of years ago and they haven’t faded much. I think I’ve soaked them 4 or 5 times. I’m not an every day jeans wearer so that may be the reason they are taking longer. Anyway I live on a sailboat and water is scarce. I talked to an old salt one who said he drags his jeans behind the boat when they are in crystal clear waters to clean them. This sounds like it could create some cool fades but also like it could potentially destroy my jeans. Anybody got any experience with this?

So far I tried making a flour based coating and frying it and I’ve tried frying it for 5 mins before putting it in the oven. Neither option was successful.

I was looking at my little speaker the other day and thinking to myself about how well it has done. My husband bought it for me about 10 years ago when we were just dating and had moved halfway across the world together with little money. It seemed like a big splurge at the time and we were using it to watch tv shows on our laptop without relying on the tinny laptop speakers (we didn’t have a tv). Fast forward to now and that speaker has traveled all over the place, been to the beach, been camping, been on sailing trips etc. and it still holds a charge really well and has pretty decent audio quality for its size. It even still looks good. I think ten years is pretty good for a little Bluetooth speaker, personally (maybe that's a normal amount of time?). Hopefully I can get many more years out of it. Anyway it feels strange to bring up older items and recommend them as BIFL because you never know if manufacturers have kept up their quality over the years. If these speakers are still being made with the same quality i definitely recommend them.

And interest?
