Because of warm and/or dry weather, laziness on my part and a neighbor who loves his snow blower, I've gotten away with leaving my snowblower in the garage for two years. I finally had to get it out today. I did my own sidewalks and driveway as well as my neighbors. The two year old gas fired it up but slowly. I'm glad I always put Stabil in the snowblower for just such an occasion. I wonder if I can get away with it for another two years? How long does Stabil last?

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
