Full disclosure

Today, or was it yesterday? Either way, I setup a Associates Account with Amazon.com and will from time to time be linking items Me or Tawn use on the boat or tools I’ve bought and liked or what the fuck ever.

Anyway, bottom line. Sometimes an item or picture will link directly to amazon. From this I may get a very small, probably not even worth it, percentage from clicks and/or purchases. I don’t really like ads, on the site. But I figure this is an unobtrusive way to try and make a dollar or two from this site.

Oh and it’s me…or Tawn posting these things. There will be no random automatic post from Amazon or bots. Just things we use or have used that come in handy on the boat.

Here are a couple examples.

Something for the ladies:

And one for you fellas:

Oh and one other thing. If you have ad blocker on, the pictures will not show up. So there’s that.

We spend a fair amount of time as live aboards trying to prevent unwanted things from growing on our boat. Things like mold, moss, barnacles, what the fuck ever that hairy thing is that shows up in the scuppers after we have friends over for a bbq/drinks in the cockpit….the list goes on.

As I understand it, dirt dwellers will, from time to time water their lawns in order to encourage their lawns to grow. Even when I lived on land, I did not understand this concept. Actually, I did. I just hated mowing the lawn. So I would purposely NOT water my lawn in the hopes that it would not grow. Which, among other habits, did not make me the most popular house in any neighborhood I lived in.

Following this Link will take you to something that was designed by and for dirt dwellers and thier desire for green, healthy lawns.

If your are anything like us (meaning):
a.) You live on a boat
b.) You don’t fill your tanks on a regular basis. But, wait until the tanks are completely dry at 9pm at night, half way through doing the dishes before filling them
c.) Hate waiting till the tanks are full and over flowing before running up on deck in your boxers and sock feet to pull the hose from the fill tube.

My idea is to figure out how long it takes to fill my tanks, then hook this little unit up to my hose, and set the timer to that. No I can fill my water tanks AND take a nap, check the crab pots, or find a pair of industrial strength rubber gloves and remove that hairy thing from the scuppers.
