A mechanic friend of mine was telling me that he recently replaced a few customers' ABS solenoid and encourages me to give mine a workout once every 3 to 4 months. He said ABS solenoid can become completely stuck if it is not "used regularly." This is very similar to ELCB (earth leak circuit breaker), the electrical safety device that disconnects whenever it detects leakage current. It too need to be tested regularly just to prevent the mechanism from becoming stuck together.
That advice reminded me of my fountain pen collection and that I have not been rotating my pens! By rotating, I mean using the pens in my collection in rotation. Unfortunately, when I checked them after having kept them in their boxes for almost a year, some pens with this smooth rubber like surfaces have "melted!" They have gone soft and sticky! The good part of this is that these are the more commonly available pens. The sad part is that these are mainly gifts from friends with sentimental values.
