I pour in the oil until it drip drops out.

Then I take the bottles inside and put them one by one upside down on a funnel that feeds into an empty oil bottle and let them sit over night. It recovers what oil is left in the container.
I've recovered a few oz here and there doing it. Which is enough to replace what my bike burns.

When you're 67 years of age and Stone Cold Sober and you hop on your bike and let it tip over to the ground, that might be a wake-up call to start thinking about hanging it up. Maybe! I personally haven't had that experience yet but I know other's who have had it!

If you want to laugh, read the OP.

I went to our county fair yesterday and had a foot long bacon wrapped hot dog with grilled peppers and onions. It dripped with every bite.

1 was enough.

You could always use one of those lobster eating bibs with the little dribble Catcher.

Haven't done this myself just yet nor ever heard this before...

Let it drip for a few seconds, once it slows down its good to go.
