What is joolfuel?
"Hey Jool, Did you know?"
Once upon a mountain hike, during the Covid pandemic, there were two families by the names of Carr and Taylor.
The two families were brought together on this mountain by the lifelong friendship of Joel and Maple. As the story goes their six children have known each other since birth, grew up together and are all good friends. Their wives, Juliet and Kate, became friends as well.
The children had all kinds of fun together growing up playing in creeks, riding dirt bikes and four wheelers, sledding in the snow, camping, waging Nerf wars, building forts, wrestling in swimming pools, jumping on trampolines, having water balloon fights and shooting BB guns.
The four parents and two of the Taylor boys planned to summit a Colorado Mountain peak with their three dogs on this afore mentioned weekend during the pandemic.
From the beginning of the mountain hike until the end, the number of times we heard, "Hey Jool, did you know?" are comically impossible to count. It was during this summit that the pet name of Jool (Joel) came about. Joel is now lovingly referred to as Papa Jool, or Jool, by nearly everyone and his wife, Juliet, is called Jool's, Momma Jool's or Momma Carr.
Within the next year the families traveled to camping trips as well as many motocross and WeBe races. At a race one of the Taylor's boy's bikes needed fuel. Jool, being clever, offered him some very special fuel that made the 50cc bike go so much faster than anyone could possibly imagine! Joolfuel was the talk of races and camping trips after that.
Momma Carr spent the next few months thinking about Joolfuel and how to define it. This is the result:
