It's always nice to get them up and going again.
I will take them for a run at least once a month to keep the moisture out of them and fill them back up with fuel to eliminate air that could drop moisture in the tank. I also leave a 40 watt lamp under the truck to chase out the moisture from its stall.
We had over 13" of rain overnight and rates of 3" per hour at times on record. The storm was training over some of the same acreage causing major havoc, 20" in areas in 12 hours. South of town where I live, I only had about 5" starting at 8:00am till 1:00pm when we had a nice light rain, then sun after 3:00.
Only about 10 more years of this then, I move back home to New York, where I can push it out of the way
