Just had a small victory and thought someone might be able to use my method.
It ain't rocket science, but if I can save somebody having to clean up spilled gear lube, then I've done my part.

More pics. The last one (Summer Sunset) is why we go through all the effort!

Nice, I like it and will have to try it next time I drain the outdrive.
