Gauntlets purchased - 2022

My poor arms get beat up now that I am a bit older. Bruising and thin skin that now cuts easy etc. These gauntlets should help with that, I am hoping. For when I am working in the bilge or engine, lazarette or wherever. They do not cut easily and are thicker than long sleeves. They go on/off easy. They are worth the chance to stop some bruising and cuts. We purchased these from Amazon.

New Bemis 7m203SLST 000 Affinity Home Depot 1006387395 - 2022

We got two free suitcases from Facebook group "Buy Nothing (neighborhood)" and we had a bit of room left in the second one. When we get to the boat, we give away the suitcases. I thought that replacing our toilet seat would be nice. 

We have had it for about five years, and I broke the self-closing part some years ago by forcing it closed. We have a household-size toilet bowl and this nice seat also. Now we will have a nice NEW seat. A simple thing and it gets used a lot.
