Pick it up with a rag, paper towel, hunk of junk mail, etc.

I discovered that using a couple squirts of that green BioCycle
cleaner from MEC on my hands and then working it in until it's dry
_before I start working_ makes for an easy quick clean up with water.

Claire,

I've enjoyed your unique posts for quite some time ... but the line "
you don't have to take up gynacology to enjoy sex, and you don't have
to take up wrenching to enjoy bicycling " is soooo good that is has
been enshrined in my compendium of memorable witicisms, right up there
with " Fighting for Peace is like Screwing for Virginity " and " Vah!
Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur. "

Speaking as an ex-wrench, it sounds like you have a Guardian Angel
looking out for you in the LBS ... cherish and nurture the
relationship ... cookies are good, good beer has been proven to be a
better lubricant than Pro Gold!

Keep em spinning.....
