The Last of the Runny Stuff

Final Two Fluids

One is smelly, two are tasty. 


Gear oil—For the most part, I don’t mind this stuff.  It stays put in its container and performs a vital function making differentials and manual transmissions live.  The bad part is the smell.  If I get gear oil on me and walk into the house, my wife’s expert olfactory sense will pick up the scent immediately.  Any automotive fluid likely to cause marital discord goes straight to the bad list.

And finally---Blue sports drinks, a la Gatorade and Powerade are my all-time favorites.  I drink gallons upon gallons of this stuff while driving to and from trails and photo shoots.  My favorite flavor is blue.  Yeah, I know blue is a color and not a flavor, but if it’s blue and it’s Gatorade or Powerade I like it.
