Why is that not surprising, considering where you live?

I've used Sta Lube boat trailer wheel bearing grease for assembly.

When I was a kid, my grandfather had a container of axel grease. Like
grease the hubs/axels of a horse drawn vehicle axel grease. It was
sticky nasty black stuff. The only use I knew about was he would
grease the ball hitch on his car prior to pulling his camp trailer.
Tomorrow I start the reassembly of a big ol dump truck transmission.
One of the things I will need to do is to mate the input shaft to the
main shaft and the input shaft has a bunch of needle bearings inside.
Always a touchy thing. You grease up the input shaft, carefully place
the bearings and hope they do not fall out during assembly.
I wish I had some of my grandfather’s axel grease. I am considering
melting some paraffin and adding some grease to make a sticky
facsimile of what I remember.
Anyone know of a super thick and sticky grease?
