How to Replace Blinker Fluid
An evening pause: I posted this important advice for maintaining one’s car back in 2017. I think it is important enough that it needs to be reposted. Make sure you watch to the very end.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

The date of your posting can’t be a cause for suspicion, can it?
Good stuff!

All the stores near me are out of blinker fluid, thanks to biden and the supply chain shortage.
I love his warning to wear eye protection – getting any of the fluid in your eyes will result in uncontrolled blinking until you can wash it out. :)
The comment about giving BMW owners confidence in using their signals is gold.

Didn’t find any blinker fluid, but O’Reilly auto had this listed …

A woman was told her car needed oil. The raised the hood and poured some all over the engine block.
I once sent my neighbor out for shock fluid and strut gas.
Took him two hours to come back.
Having spent a lifetime in the automotive industry I submit for your consideration the “Turbo Encabulator” . . . ;-)

I’ve heard prop wash by the gallon is getting harder to find, but not as bad as bungee lube for base jumpers. Luckly, the federal government is subsidizing production of x-ray jell for frequent fliers, although flight attendants find it more and more difficult keeping passengers from sliding out from under their seatbelts.
