What should I do about generator exercising?

I left home over month and half ago. I exercise my generator once a month per Honda's manual at 1/2 load.

I'm stuck in a park until some parts come in over a different issue. So I can't (or shouldn't) run generator in park and can't pull TT out.

When I left home I was going to use the A/C to give generator its load when exercising it. That plan has changed and I don't have anything to put it under load to properly exercise it.

Generator is Honda eg2500 (old gas gen, pre whisper quiet, 1990's era.)

Question: Which would be better in your opinion?

Don't run generator or run it without a load on it?
