[Shop-talk] Well, I knew it was coming! (very shop related)

Well, my rich uncle decided it was time for me to go back to the big
sandbox for an extended stay.  This summer, Ibll be leaving for Iraq for a
year.  My question is, what state should I leave certain items.  Here is my
listb& (note, everything will be stored in an garage, out of the elements.)
I would prefer to prepare all items in a state of b
ready to useb
 as I might
be able to come back once or twice during the year.  But will do what is
best.

Truck.  I get an insurance break if itbs not being used.  What is the best
way to prepare a vehicle for a one year stay in storage?   Is climate
controlled storage better?  Should I drain any fluids?  Should I leave it
on a lift or on the ground?

Motorcycles. I have two.  What should I do with them?

Lawn mower?

Weed wacker?

Compressor? (should I leave the drain valve open?

ATC?

Scuba gear?

Now, I fully expect to get the emails likeb&  b
Let me have them, and Ibll
use them while you are gone!b
  So donbt bother sending them.  8>)
