How often should you winterize your mower?
Grumpty's answer
Every 12 months
Why bother
Stale fuel gums the carburetor over a cold winter. A thorough-tier job. Skippable when life's busy, worth it when it isn't.
Why it's a range
Warm regions that mow year-round can skip it.
When to start thinking about it
A few days' warning does it. Grumpty grumbles 5 days out, then leaves you alone. Mark it done and Grumpty sets the next one, every 12 months, so you can go back to forgetting it exists.
Let Grumpty remember it for you
Add it once. Grumpty tracks the date, grumbles when it's due, and rolls it forward the moment you mark it done. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no forgetting.
