Cold weather care

[George H. Williams III]

Morning folks,
With the cold weather really closing in I was wondering what the thoughts were on the care of our babies; Should we start regularly and how long should they idle and to what temp ? If under cover should they be moved periodically ? Is a battery trickle charge a good idea ? I believe keeping the gas tank full is a good idea ! How about tire pressure and standing in the same place for extended periods of time ?
Think spring !

George, I think that starting it once every other day to full operating temperature would be fine.

As for the tires, it's okay to leave them in the same place. Today's modern tires will even out by the time you get to the end of the block.
