As soon as a joint is seperated from a flange or hub, put a zip lock bag around it and a zip tie. This will go a long way to preventing greasing you, your tools and probably the dog - it also keeps trash out of the joint, in the event that you are not going to repack that joint.

I just bought a set of boot kits from our host and am going to repack some relatively new joints with good synthetic grease, install slightly longer bolts and Nordlock washers.
Grady's comments about retorquing after a few miles is good advice too.

Gloves and lots of rolls of paper towels
