Putting Kayak on Roof Overnight

I have an early morning tomorrow (with a toddler) before heading off to my parents with my Kayak. Would it be fine to put my Kayak on my car tonight so I don't have to worry about the set up in the morning? Just didn't know if being in the position on the J rack for that long isn't recommended?

It's my first Kayak so I wanna be gentle as I can be so it lasts long 😊

Kayak Activity Tracker?

Is there an app to track your kayaking activity? At least miles paddled? I have Paddle Ways, but to my knowledge, that only shows spots to kayak. I have a Garmin, but I'm pretty sure the closest I could do is track it like a run or walk, then change the title after. But if there was an app that is more catered to kayaking, I would rather use that instead.

New baby is home 🥰

Spent a lot of time and research to find the right kayak (I'm picky on colors too). Was about to shell out about $500 and then the Facebook Marketplace Gods shown down on me! Absolute kismet!

Stickers on Kayaks?

So I'm the kind of person that likes to personalize my things and show my interests with things like t-shirts, stickers, enamel pins etc. But I haven't seen many kayaks with stickers and was wondering if it was not recommended? Could stickers mess with a kayaks ability to move in the water? Or is it strictly about the ability to resell?

If stickers are fine, are there certain kinds recommended to withstand the elements?

Buying on Amazon?

So I've had my eye on a Pelican Argo 100x EXO for quite a bit now. I've seen on a few sites that they show retailers near me that sell them, as well as the option to order online and get delivered. Then I saw that Amazon also sells them. I was curious to hear if anyone has ordered kayaks from Amazon and what the experience was?

Also, what is the census on getting one delivered, in general? I'm sure the best option is to try buying in person, but is getting one delivered as "scary" as I'm making it out to be? I'm concerned about damage during the delivery process.

▲ 2 r/toys

My son is having his 5th birthday this summer and I'm wanting to do something with water balloons. I'm wanting to set up 2 sling shot stations so they can try to lob them at eachother. I saw these online and wondered if anyone would recommend these? Thought it would be easier clean up. But if they don't have the desired effect, I'd just go with OG balloons.

Are there any methods for getting the right amount of floss for how many stitches you'll be doing? Or is it a matter of eyeballing it?

I always end up with too much or too little, where I either only have a few stitches left to do, or I have an awkward length of floss that I can't use for anything (especially with using a double strand that will end up being too shorties of the same length)

I'm curious to hear if anything has worked for people to get as close to precise as possible.

Thanks ❤️
