Recommend procedure - no start car in 2 months
For various reasons I have not started my car in two months.
Aside from battery concerns is there anything people would recommend me doing for a first start or preparation for first start?

Thanks ahead of time.

Check the fluids, make sure the battery has full charge. Turn key to run position for 5 seconds twice to prime fuel and then start it.
Let it warm up to operating temperature.

Mine had set for 7 years before I bought it, just put a little oil in the cylinders and cranked it. Probably need to overhaul it some time with the sludge it has in it, but that comes next. After I can get it running again after this no spark problem lol.
