We only have one convenience store. You buy gas there or learn to walk a lot and cut with a clippers. If for any reason anyone wants to start their engines every so often and run them to keep the seals fresh that is fine with me. But I am not going to go out all winter every week or so and start up a lawntractor, three lawnmowers, two weedeaters, a mini tiller, a generator, and a chainsaw. I have a snowblower that has been run dry for over 20 years and no seals needed yet. And if it did a whole new carb would be cheaper than cranking on it 9 months out of the year just to keep it fresh in storage. Heck a whole new snowblower would be better than starting one all year long just to hear it run. I want to get it put away and consider it done not go out and relive the winter fun all year long. I put lawn stuff up dry in December and start it back up in April. Snowblower gets ran dry in April and started up in December. I never even look at them in the meantime. Many times over the years some of mine have been put into mini storage miles away and not looked at by anyone for several months or two or three years. I know of no one that goes to the storage place and starts their lawnmower every week or two.
