    You know my new gloves.

    Somehow known only unto Almighty God, the first time I used them this morning ( grease 5th wheel) already have a black dab inside the right one.

    Grease on my nice clean pants, clean shirt.

    I'm like really?

    Never fails. That’s why I would prefer to wear dark blue mechanics’ uniforms. Those spots wouldn’t show. ;)

    5th wheel grease goes where it wants,not where you want.....I'm sure a cat was present when it was first discovered.

    Then that one spot on your pants (you can't see) transfers to the seat and gets on everything else for the next 3 weeks.

    Planned obsolescence. They build them to last 2-5 years so you'll need to buy a new one. Just like they build cars and just about everything we purchase. Things like the trucks we drive are built to last 5 years, and they make them too expensive to work on if you don't pay for the extended warranty.

    Uline.com work gloves. Thin with rubber palms, perfect for pumping fuel or working with grease. A dozen for $39 bucks. Not good for keeping warm although better than nothing. I get around 6 months out of a pair just for fueling.

    I don't like those. Still have probably 15 to 18 pair from when I did electrical work.
