What lubes are on your shelf??

[2strokerfun]

Just turned 50 and was looking for some products on my shelf the other day and realized my shelf of lube products has matured over the years (Probably more than myself since my sense of humor apparently stopped developing at an eighth-grade level, I'm told). When I was 25, my shelf consisted of three items: a can of wheel bearing grease that usually had a layer of dried bermuda grass under the lid, an open can (yes can) of 10w-40 weight motor oil, and a near-empty can of WD-40.

Now: three different weights of fork oil, four bottles of motor oil of different weights, tube of dielectric grease, tube of anti-sieze, filter oil, chainsaw bar oil, 927 pre-mix oil, three or four other two stroke oils I someday will use on chainsaw/weedeater, three types of transmission fluids, lithium grease, water resistant grease, red wheel bearing grease, black wheel bearing grease, two different weights of gear lube, PB Blaster, a near-empty can of WD-40 (convinced I buy it that way), gun oil, anti rust lube, cable lube, three different chain lubes, compressor oil, air-tool oil and probably four or five other things I can't think of.

Has this happened to anyone else over the years??

Belated Birthday wishes, especially rounding the corner to 50! I am going to catch the person that leaves the open containers.

Ain't it nice to be soooo old :nener:
I see you got born on the day (not year) I got married!

Man, I'd hate to try and inventory the stuff I've got, Let's put it this way - I know I have everything you posted plus a few different blends of antiseize, dry graphite, spray teflon, spray silicone, a few different types of wax, and some tallow.

Maybe I don't have the black grease you mention....

Probably should have stuck this in general topics and maybe someone would play along but then again it's proabably only a topic old gearheads would take the time (better than sitting on the porch). And - a large tube of #105 engine assy. lube which I just happened to move to get at the grease I needed to reassemble the triple tree that just came out of the paint booth.

Probably should have stuck this in general topics .

I meant to. But this electronic box on my desk is more complicated than the manual Underwood I grew up pounding on. ...........Sigh............

Should I have more than just a half can off WD-40 for my 2 cars, truck, boat and trailer, seadoo, 3 dirt bikes, power washer, RC cars, RC plane, RC boat, generator and whatever other money pit I have in the garage?

Yeah, I got a few more lubes on the shelf than back in the day.
