Up on QuickJacks, and wheels off. Greased all rubber fittings/trim with Shin-Etzu, oil changed, gas tank topped off, battery disconnected (with Battery Tender), exhaust stuffed with rags to prevent varmints from entering, placed rodent repellent in the trunk, cabin and engine compartment, and Damp-Rid in the cabin .... start the car every 3 weeks for 30 minutes.
