I know a fellow with a tractor.  I lived on his land for awhile after the
storm of 2005 and I tried in vain to convince him that the reason his
tractor wouldn't start, let alone run, was because it had been sitting out
in the weather for two years with the same fuel in it.  Efforts to convince
him to replace the old fuel with fresh fuel fell on deaf ears.  He's
convinced there is something else wrong.

It's heading that way here.

That'd work.  (-:  I hope you're able to survive the weather you're
currently having.  I wouldn't be able to.
