Winter storage is something I need to something about before I forget about 
it.

Last winter I failed to completely drain the water out of a cooling system 
and ended up with a seized water pump on an engine.
I didn't realize the water pump had to be drained separately as the water 
doesn't drain from it with the rest of the cooling system.

I've got the engine drained now since I won't be taking it to any shows 
until next year.  But I've still got water in the darn water pump and need 
to drain it as I might not be as lucky if the barn gets below freezing 
again.

One of the advantages of my Gade engine is I never need to do anything to 
get it ready for winter.
